Nothing Poems

You say nothing

Tell me how this silence affects you 

Tell me how you wonder if it affects me 

Tell me how you will respond, asap 

You say nothing 

 

Tell me who you think about 

Tell me who got your heart 

Tell me who will ever get it, asap 

You say nothing 

 

Tell me what you

Premium MemberNothing says so

A juxtaposition
separate and distinct
seemingly defying
what cannot be~
an argument
or an expression
or both or neither

nothing says so~~

What's left when there is nothing left

The stench of shame fills the air
Tears fallen choked her words
Laying in a pool of red
Her massa had stolen her innocence 
Bruises decorated her already scarred flesh
A mark of ownership

A sinister smirk sends shivers
As the white man admires his coloured canvas
Pride engulfs him
Watching her struggle against the shackles
Her screams silenced by his hands around her

The fear of nothing changing

The rush of emotion stilled
The air once consumed by an undiluted energy
Now eerily quiet 
Something lingers in the air 
Justice? 
No something louder but hidden
A violence so silent 
It could go unnoticed by those who don't care to see
Those who choose wilful ignorance 

The streets once crowded by protest
Now sits empty 
Brought down from the

Premium MemberNothing Is New

“Nothing is new
under the sun!” Sorry,
can’t buy that! Man ill fated then, to
dog-paddle eternally in pools of mediocrity -- never
destined to attain higher pinnacles of physical, 
spiritual development? – cursed to always relive the
same themes, patterns; to struggle with repetitive
developmental flaws, manifesting as both inner and outer
soul corruption...rejecting unique
new arrangements, by refusing to alter
programmable psychic

Nothing

'Nothing works faster'
the advertisement read
'Nothing works better'
the adman said
I don't know about you
but if that's true
it's Nothing for me
Nothing's a keeper
not only that
it's also cheaper

Premium MemberAn Unchanging Map of Nothing

an appointment

seeming as a 

fork in a path

portending 

dark or light..

it is a lingering 

of time

so it seems

in an unchanging

map of nothing

which all of

these words 

express~~

nothing is burning

only the summer heat
spreads its stifling waves
on my pony face, as a
smart haze,
hunting my craze

lazy, sticky heatwaves
hit my face
knock me
down
on the ground
like a drowsy fly

i open one eye,
i still can see its

Let's take a seat where chill winds blow
We don't care if our undies show
We have nothing to hide
Living on the wild side
Life's much more fun in the front row

Premium MemberIs Nothing Sacred Anymore

     Once I learned I’d have to pay for my sins
         Today I see there’s not a sin that’s not ‘in’

     Once I was told to respect every teacher
         Today a

Premium MemberWhere Nothing Happens

here, between myself and myself,
God dwells when 
He flees the world.
I found Him once
in a forgotten loaf of bread 
on the steps of a hospice,
in an old woman asking forgiveness
for simply living.

He did not ask who I am.
He touched my brow
and retreated back into the wound.

we do not think.
we defend ourselves from thoughts
as from a

I have nothing to die for. 
If I die today, it will be nothing
If I live today, it will be for nothing
