Nothing Poems - Poems about Nothing

The silence here is not of peace— It hums like blood beneath the skin, A hollow hush that will not cease, A quiet carved from what has been. No birds, no breeze. Just broken ground, And boots that whisper through the dust. Even echoes fear this sound, Where dreams break and memories rust. I used to hear the laughter loud, My brother's voice, a...

My concrete dried beneath regret, No footprints left just silhouettes. I scream through porcelain but cracks don't form— Just echos of a lifetime; body-worn An engine heart with rusted gears Still grinding through regretful years I've calcified to the point where nothing grows; A statue dried; yet it sank inside an undertow....

If not for my mother I would have been in jail She cool me down Everytime them give me hate She makes me eat Even when I don't earn Steadily supplying all I need. The things I lack Are the things I never asked from her She's always giving Unconditionally Without seizing She gives all she has for nothing. None like a mother Her...

He asked me what I had been doing. I had been writing two books of poetry. But since I could not sell them and they were not making money I said what he could understand. I said nothing....

If Nothing Had Happened If nothing had happened, a simple birthday song would have been heard. Ribbons would have been hastily untied from presents. If nothing had happened, graduation would have occurred, employment would have been secured, marriage would have taken place, children would have been born. The sky that should have been seen together— where does it now stretch? The darkened sky stole my tears."Quotes"...

What did you do today? I asked my friend Absolutely nothing, she replied. Nothing at all? Not really. I painted my front porch. Made a corn casserole and meatloaf. Squeezed some lemons and baked a lemon cake. Put a swing set together. If you have not guessed this by now I am talking to a mother....

we are nothing but butterflies flying for a day but thinking it’s forever wings soft as what we never say hearts light but the silence heavy time slips like threads unraveling steady love lives loud in a whisper’s disguise sunset in our chest while the morning dies we kiss like we’re carving our names in the breeze but breath forgets it doesn't beg doesn't plead our shadows stretch thin where the light won’t...

Nothing gets worse. Other people. They try to wrap me in a blanket. I was cold. It’s all thawing, and feels feverish and horrible. They learned things. Lessons which are dedicated to kindness. Are cloying. It hurts my lungs. Coughing and trying to laugh through the coughing. Eyes watering. My eyes, their eyes, horrible eyes. Acceptance has...

The apartment smelled like smoke Frail and fleeting I looked at her She never ate Always yelled I looked at him He never stayed Always somber Curled in a blanket on the floor Thin and cold Looking up at the ceiling A stain on the wall The window was open Screaming in the kitchen Needles on the floor The carpet dirty I walked around a little bit I lay back down There was...

Such crazy feeling As if I knew nil in life Except loving you....

There is lots of work to be done But there is nothing to be won There are people that I have to greet And promises that I have to keep. The barking dogs in the street Have nothing to eat they roam The streets all night putting up A fight attacking the people the see And chasing the cars up and down The...

Being proud of yourself isn’t enough, When your loved ones don’t think so. Thinking you’re tough and strong, Yet you can’t handle the pain you know. Every time life starts getting rough, You bury yourself deep and low. I try to do things right each time, But feel handcuffed by winds that blow. It’s freezing out here, and I’ve nowhere to go, The cold...

Every night Sea rises at high tide His waves are like warm frothy fingers caressing Moon's golden glow on the shore It's a game they play with ebb and flow Hide and seek. She has a flirtacious streak when shrouding herself behind a veil of clouds Eternal lovers who share intimate moments romantic thoughts ~ nothing...

I give thanks to the Lord, Because he cares for me. His love, I can never ever deny, Through His Son Jesus, I have been set free. That day on the cross he died. Problems will come, But I will not fear, Because I know just where to turn. I wanted to tell it to you my kids. Of one event...
