Long Hollow soul Poems

She lived in shadows, where light felt too bright
And joy was something spoken of,
But seldom felt or experienced, something
That most of the time, meant reaching for another,
Another’s joy, though not hers, 
She hoped might, somehow,...

Your nothing, but a liar
Your nothing, but a home wrecker
Your nothing, but a dick
Your nothing, but a lazy asshole
Your nothing, but a narcissist.

You think your right all the time
You think that emotions don't matter
You think...

Standing by Stan's shadow of ascent looks for loners promise repents,

Story of Afghanistan

The barren land of my birthplace
Green at times but screening a rocky face
Known for thousands of years for its warrior race
Let me tell you the truth,
No one really wanted this “space”.

Up until two...

I can't recall the day you left
 Empty words going west

~To The West Coast~

I will cherish our time, with the sun
My love, my friend, my lover
Today we part,...

Strangle

You don’t realize
How much I hate your guts
Clutch a glass so tight
I don’t see the blood 
Leaking from the shards
That’ve dug deep into my skin.

Eyes twitching like I’m on caffeine 
Gritting my teeth as the...

A Song !!!
Quiet Sorrow / Silent Tears

I awoke to cold, wet, gray skies,
remembered the pain- your eyes,
a story told – I heard – telling me
of your sad plight- your fight to be.

I closed my eyes...

Cold winds come 
bring 
white ice, the moon drifts 
over sleeping lands 
High it rides a singular eye
watching all in the frost tonight  
my feet are cold eternally numb 
the snow is deep familiar...

The Tale of the Smoke Crow

His wings were made from those he'd burned.
A crow of smoke, without true form.
A thief of sorts, who sought to hide
the carbon stone that was his heart.
I smelled him first...

Eighty-Six Thousand Four Hundred

Iye! Another day
And from the blink of sleep
From the cosset of sheets
The incessant alarm pulls my feet
Iye! Another day
And the sun has conveyed splintered shadows through the trees
To dapple my wits with...

Hollow soul, heavy heart.
Inner self falling apart.

Things didn't go the way I wanted, 
they were far different from what I expected.

Worked hard day and night, 
still didn't get the results I visualized.

Maybe could have worked...

Twilight Ronin

     From day to night, I travel from east to right.

As I travel to the west I look to the sky and wonder what is left inside my vessel.

Am I...

An echo of footsteps fill the serene salty air,
muffled thuds like faint taps in slow motion,
moving in a somber sonata over a creaking pier.
The bitter breeze is a harbinger of forthcoming storms,
but in an empty...

An autumn night.  
How wondrous is its tranquil stillness,  
The night breeze gently caresses my face.  
Sheep is chew, camels cry, dogs bark,  
All revealing the village’s lively pace.

Valediction to..

Yet again nature sheds rain,
thunder and lightening strikes as they scream in pain,
the bell tolls the loss of tranquility,
mankind mourns the loss of humanity,
oceans deprived of water,leaves fallen from tree,
infinite hollow soul moves,gloominess hangs...

Way back when, many years ago;
In the midst of the Sixties, spread your legs, let's go!
An injustice was created,
with a Hollow soul to lose...

A decade and a half later,
  no belief of a Creator;

Earthquakes of bedlam quell
As tectonic plates of emotional instability cease shifting.  
The tears of a discarded clown, suspended in animation—  
Numbness overtakes.  

Masks slip, shattering.  
Shards scrape, lacerating apathetic flesh, ...

I once screamed
But the echoes faded,
And slowly, I lost my voice.

I once cried
Until the rivers dried,
And slowly, I lost my tears.

I once grieved
But the weight grew lighter,
And slowly, I bore it all.

I once rejoiced
But joy...

Emotionally numb.

Sitting here in the emptiness,
My mind in a void of emptiness,
As I try to make sense of it all,
But all I feel is a lonely fall.

My broken heart just thumps along,
As I try to...

In shadows deep where truth does weep, There lies a figure, veiled, asleep. A hypocrite, with words so sweet, Yet actions cold, deceit complete.

With lips that part in righteous guise, They weave a web of...

Remember me? Does my voice resonate in your hollow soul?
Ponder on your sins, muse over a girl whose spirit you set out to abolish.
You thought you were my kryptonite. You are but another iron that...

My feelings are in express
Of the unfathomed inside myself
I find that I am in pain
Of a friendless battle alone
Lost I seem to wander
Going from one spot to another
But I am not emotionless
I just am in...

Embraces shatter leaving timeless stories

Wrapped in butterfly nets, tied with velvet ribbons

Tangled cob webs and ghost blankets

Restless feelings and Kodak moments

 

Wasting into forever

Alone, rotting in the pantry

Forgotten happiness buried by sorrows

Telling tomorrow yesterday’s lies
