Incandescent light
Staring blankly at the screen
It’s a lot like love...

stare blankly at the
white string around my finger -
what did I forget...

shrilly she calls him
he stares blankly into space
again the call comes
he smiles while contemplating
what he might have for dessert...

The best sort of wonder
Stares blankly, not just at
Rain, and its pooled splat;
As informs mesmeric
On how each act projects
Its ripple effects....

Staring blankly at an unblank spreadsheet.
My paints, unspread, in the next room. 

A woodpecker bangs headlong into a frozen tree....

staring blankly 
the sights are too odd to take. 
creepy dull moments,
tick tock of the clock absurds 
they're killing my sanity.

We live in an era 
when you confess to someone 
that he is the one, 
he will just stare blankly at you 
and say: Oh, I see. 
Well, there are many Ones....

An eerie silent bellows in her ears.
Whispering screams of peaceful nightmares.
All alone, she is followed by a familiar stranger.
Who blankly smiles as he walks away beside her....

Poverty's age
is an age unfrankly
When the troubles to come
are an owned 'jest rankly

For the soul of a man
who can bless less thankly
When the whole of a stand
is a death lest blankly...

her friend asked her
"did he break your heart?"
she replied,
while staring blankly at her shoes,
and clutching the crinkled note tightly
in her shaking hands,
"what heart?"

She was too numb to know....

Let's see, where is my mind headed today
It easily veers off course and I totally lose my way
Sometimes totally unaware
At times blankly stare
Off to la-la land and can't follow the play...

As I lick the blood of battle
Mighty sword glistening in the scorching sun
My arm slowly lays it to the ground
Falling, I stare blankly, up to the sky
		Dead
All battles now won




			Love lost long ago...

Let's see, where is this mind of mine headed today
It can easily veer off course and totally lose its way
Sometimes totally unaware
At times blankly stare
Off to la-la land and can't follow the play...

It sits staring blankly at me
It says come here just try and see
Helping is what I do

Come on over is only plea
Free to come, free to go sweet pea
Try it bid weight adieu

I sit still, blankly looking into the screen
Forever crippled by the TV

Imagination, killed by people
the lovers, the followers, the religion

Suicide is a game
and its hunting season

So, I say "**** it"
Why not?...

You asked why I was not smiling
I looked at you blankly
Then smiled

That's all I had

A blank page look
Because not always am I happy
Sometimes I am an observer

Watching and questioning
All that we are
All that we do...

By the twilight of the uncaring moon, the
Nightingale warbles a haunting tune,
as I stare blankly at the merciless moon
hoping to death that it's grip takes me soon.
And as all that I wrought lies in ungodly ruin,
the Nightingale warbles a tune....

Wind weathered dream severed
eyes hollow stare blankly out
rough seas washed away hopes
hardened hearts die
fragile souls cry
hastily built walls
stones tumble 
broken in a blackened sky
masses filter the catacombs
steeple's raise notice
dropping down suddenly...

When the net is down, we stare blankly at the wall
We consider hanging out at the food court in the mall
Obsessed is a word that is often used
Nothing to do but go for a snooze
Life without the net is absolutely no life at all

But you're strong
And you're healthy
And you're fit
They said
Your pain and your suffering
That's just in your head
You look lively and vibrant
Focus on that instead
I consider this
As I stare blankly ahead
Thinking 
What use is good health,
When your mind wants you dead?...

Four walls blankly stare at me,
as I sit on a bed that once
carried the weight of two lovers.

Sometimes I shout,
angry at myself,
wondering how I was blind
to let you go.

The walls echo the shouts
back at me - as I keenly
listen to the echoes,
I hear your name
somewhere inside them.......

I feel it;
all of it.
The pain, the regret, the humiliation, the guilt, the heartache, everything.
I cry silent tears for you.

While you feel nothing.
you look on, blankly.
you dont look at me, you look through me.
you're in a world of your own, content to  ignore reality.
Content to feel nothing....

I stare blankly out my window
With my head against the lifeless glass
I watch the wind dance with the snow
And burn my flesh on the ice cold brass
Cursing at the painful sting, of waiting for the time to pass
The children play and run around
While I'm stuck behind my internal casque
Waiting to be found...

She sits and stares blankly,
Thoughts running through her head.
Pen in her hand,
What will she do next?

She lets out a huge sigh,
Eye-lids wanting to close.
Muscles are tense,
What will she do next?

She must go to sleep now,
Her mind just won't switch off.
It might sometime,
What will she do next?...
