peers through gaping hole in leaf --
a bird chirps

Winter's dark spaces in between
Pale-faced woman
She's clad in black
She look out from death's gaping holes...

Once I saw an oddly grouchy grouch,
grousing away on an old couch,
gaping menacingly,
as I eat happily,
my juicy chicken soupy lunch....

I sit here alone, without you,
Longing so much to feel whole,
This gaping hole you left wide open,
No correct shape fills the role....

I noticed stab sites.

My bereavement was shattered.

Tidal surge of loss

Tomorrow's gaping abyss

Left a hope glimmer hanging...

 I wish 
I wish I could tear down that armoured wall that you've built, 
so I can try to repair,
the gaping hole in your heart....

A hard block gaping holes harden matters;
Seeping through encased in liquid softens;
This is the reaction of a sponge and water;

a year feels like forty
a crack becomes a gaping hole
emptiness swallows
hatred fades to bitterness
memories lead to tears
avoidance becomes a gnawing ache
i hate that stretch of road...

Set free your Creative Muse to soar swiftly Heavenward

  Naysayers will challenge you, thinking you lack Imagination

   --Leave them slack-jawed, gaping, your Angelic Wings smiling High...

Rapping and Trapping

When there are people who are rapping,
Themselves into hole will be trapping,
And point missing;
Things off kissing;
Getting bigger and bigger and gaping.

Her panting 
Wheezing

Eyes, a second lid of Vaseline
Mouth gaping open

As if to scream out but
Nothing

Take your turn to clasp
For the last time

A last exhale
White as clean linen...

Every wasted love
Is a piece of humanity 
Blown in the wind

Every broken heart
A never healing scar
Build from regret

Yet love if living
And a will to risk
Stepping into the gaping void....

That is what you FEEL
Get the “L” out of there
And give me the rest
Said she

With a gaping purse
By the sea
With the “L” after SEA
She sobered to bank

Was it the worth?
Said he, Sober.

Ponder!...

Resting on her head with no fear,

Packed with skill, caution and care.

And running right beyond her hair,

It thrills everyone - even the air!

Dazzled I was sitting right there,

Gaping at her straight, long hair....

Your tongue tip
steady
clasp my knees to your temple
waterfall your gaping slavery
swallow deep my eddies
Why isn't there a pathetock
your pathetic makes me sneer
when my squirms are finished
 off out of here...

my heart erupts 
in a Volcano 
of disappointment.

she's gone
there was no lava
no ground quaking
just a thud, then
flowing hot tears.

it's more like I jumped 
into the gaping hole
left in her absence.

Desperation
Crawled across my skin
Gouging out new scars
With it's claws of regret
And leaving fresh gaping wounds
Where the sharp teeth of despair
Sought to gnaw their way down 
Into the very marrow of my bones...

Without you,

worn down, weary,
staggering into tomorrow,
dissolving my todays, grim, dreary,

I crawl, slipping out of my skin,
flinging laughter, joy, contentment,
into the gaping abyss of life's dustbin.

Without you...

Children play by the tree
Rope slung over, far above
Gaping knot, left lose and free
Flying by, a soot filled dove

Nature blurred
Bodies burnt

Head held heavy
Tear filled eyes
Hope kept deadly
Blackened skies...

Floating, once upon a pond
He caught a fish by light of dawn
A fish so big he gasped in awe.
As he gazed into her gaping maw
But he saw by her belly, she was yet to spawn
So he threw her back in, and told her "be gone"...
