Leaving earth asleep...

Blankness or rain
Flying life by bind wings
Wandering sighs

my muse
falls silent
in darkness

hushed
thoughts
flicker dim
like stars
beneath clouds

i am lost
somewhere
in the blankness
of mind...

Blankness staunch
Doll on tethers view.
Mooring void
Aiming high
One choice is on the table.
To gaze through the dark...

My mind sees the blankness of the page 
And cannot stand it.
So she tells my muse
Who begins to type 
aimlessly, recklessly, zanily,
without my permission…....

submerged in blankness
helpless to escape bereavement
frail and broken, hollow eyed

hope is a remnant
the burden of countless tears
lines etched deeply in her face....

The night a gift
  though minus sleep

With dreams adrift
  and words to keep

Blankness woven
  connection spun

A poem born
  —dark on the run

I whip my pen out,
Like a man eager,
To unleash his readied member,
From its containment.

My notebook poised,
The anticipating woman
Who quivers slightly,
In open blankness,
Waits to be conquered,
By feverish ink....

Tiles of remembrance of classes
long past, replacing blankness
painted handprints and colors and smiles
spanning the length of the ceiling, forever
reserved for the posterity of wandering eyes.
How glorious the sunset! Our days unforgotten!...

Seek silence still
Glimpse grand goodwill


Strange stillness speaks
Prize private peak


Quaint quiet quest
Blankness blooms best


Calm charming craze
Dance dreamy daze


Watch willing wait
Feel fleeting fate

Living is another way the devil keeps ahold of me
on every line of this page, I sink deeper into 
vast open spaces
Empty, lies my minds blankness
 
In every word I express
sounds another voice, depressed

Help me in my slumber
eating away my breathe
let mercy have me
let this bring me closer to death....

Spreading whiteness before my eeys
waiting for letters,
letters making words
making syllabic riffs.

Empty page reflects blankness
of a mind's vocation:
No Thinking Allowed ...
to no purpose.  Its time to trade
this page for prose.

Unamused muse empty now
in an 8 x 11 world
of stark, bright wood pulp
pressed flat as my brain....

Lost In My Mind


I stare out my window onto a landscape
Devoid of life and color
No trees, grass, or flowers
No warm sunshine or cold rain
No people or animals
No love no hate or any other emotion
I am trapped inside my own mind
No key no jailer no warden
There is no chance for parole or release
I can only stare at the blankness of life...

You are a winter day,
The cold is warmth,
And though the sun is far away,
We know that the sky is still blue
And it shines on eternally.
White on the ground,
White for purity,
For I know your soul.
White for bone,
From which you are my support.
White for blankness,
As it is better to restart clean
Than to keep writing on a scribbled page....

The colours
They robbed
The shapes
Them runaways
The blankness
Moments with you
And the memories
Of your hunger
The truth
Yes the truth 
The companion

The fork and the spoon
And the grease
On the plate
Of the pork
The bend of the pavement
Moments with you
And the memories
Of your hunget
The truth

The colours
They really robbed...

there is a sound when you leave
all electricity is lost
all water is dissolved
all air is thinned out
there is a blankness as time passes
all age is tainted
each era is ruined
every period is murky
there is a change when realization comes
what matters drown
what is important suffocates
what is relevant becomes inanimate
the golden road is now blue...

the time for struggle is over
rest your head and let the coolness of the end quietly arrest your body and mind
allow the effervescent smiles of blankness to set your soul free and turn your stressed out being into vapors in past tense
when the New Day comes, all mirrors of life are fixated with renovated spotlights
 the time for Thanks is Here....again.......

Life is small
and simple. Even
The years shrink.
The man knows 
that his anomie 
comes from the truth. 
The world is a 
blank on which 
many impose comfort. 
The truth of the blankness 
sometimes leaks through. 

That leakage 
is the disease 
which shuts down 
the machinery of joy. 
The man knows how
the delusion of self importance 
is so much 
better than the truth....

MAGGOT MONOTONY

on the precipice I survey
the sea of 
stores and casual faceless
crowds, I the  planet
lost in the tide
swarming with skulls
thrashing the facades
restless brows 

maggots infest the nucleus
until the centre shrieks
like a sheet in
the night, startled by
the intense glare that
neon signs cast 
upon blankness and
pointless vows

Motions tilt through shifting planes,
Flat and square--regular at first, 

but then. . .

Ignite the blankness with  roaring fire.
Frost the whiteness with cooling azure haze.
Brush, scrub, dip splash, mark, drag, map.
Make a work of art--
Cold in its inception,
Hot in its realization.

Cool and warm mingle, then mesh,
To form a bond 
To set yet another mind free at last....

A blankness in a stare
That caught coldness to bare
A memorizing thought 
That drifted my mind away
An eye to untold love
That slowly will appear 
A soft soul who is rightfully so
That moment, comes
A first kiss 
That holds true 
A heart that sheds the scars
The tears are far, but painful memories 
A call early in the morning
That made it that much more
A beautiful morning...

When i Think 


 When i Think ,About my 
 wasting of sense on you 
 to give you my feeling of 
 love when i think,about
 the first beats of showing 
(Blankness) with the magic of
 your words.

 which break the glass,
 color of taste,drop of cry 
 scratch of line of track of
 tossing to tell that i will 
           miss you 

      When i Think 




with love all

Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm;
We strike sharp painful words full of sarcasm.

Finger pointing away to the other.
Imperfect we are to one another.

We used to walk amid rhythmic towers,
Youthful dreams and love each other for hours.

Alone and forgotten, gracelessly through
Melodic and rhythmic blankness askew.

Two of us an unbridgeable dark chasm,
No longer share the same enthusiasm....
