Having nothing real to say
Completely absent-minded

Call
to me
   from stillborn silence
insistent intrusion
upon my sanctuary of
   absent black
sensory void
of
hateful
peace

Lonely Heart

Lonely heart,
Absent mind,
Looking forward,
Left behind,
Searching for happiness, 
Seems so useless,
When emptiness is all I find.

Destruction

of self image

is the discomfort

perhaps the terror

of encountering

the absent self~

a story of rescue~~

A kiss at midnight,
carried on the wind,
will be sent this night,
to find you.
Must frame words to reach you,
absent my desired touch.

Unflattering Echoes

.for public domain


My echoes return
from barren canyon walls,
absent of the flattery,
I often seek from mirrors.

In Brain Made Big Dent

In Brain Made Big Dent

Defining moment;
Forgot what it meant;
In brain made big dent;
Became vehement;
From class am absent.

Warm flames rekindled,
that smoke’s been absent too long. 
Jumpstart ho hum hands. 
Be seduced by the unknown,

Lost In The Shadow Of Your Footsteps

Shadows stretch across my mind,
in grief I'm lost
hard to find.

Darkness whispers,
pulling me near.

In the sadness of your loss,
I disappear.

Absence

Absence by Shane Cogan


                      Lost at summer clock
                       Insomnia blue skies
                       Absent minded bliss
Form: Haiku

Absence

darkness 
hides 
clouded skies
from my eyes
but an absent moon
is noticeable
with the same depth
of the emptiness
i feel inside
without you here

Blue

Blue
A color
A feeling
A desperate long for a being
A lapse of time
A curse of mine
Absent light
The moon new
The sky at night 
Shut my eyes
You
Form:

Lamentation

Absent minds are proved by empty talk
We are sorry but it doesn’t help us
Empty hearts seem to be among folks
We can cry but it doesn’t save us
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Without You

In my mind
The couch turns blue
From its real red
Developed true
Lumpy and soft
But absent of glue
     It feels empty…
Without you
