Fixing Caves

Hollow inside,
Outside hard stone
Some one entered this cave
Sparkled some glitter
Cleaned old sins
Started new story

A Cheeky Dog

There once was a cheeky dog
Who behaved more like a frog
That crazy hound 
Would hop around 
And sleep in a hollow log.

Disintegrating 
Birthing new life within death
Completing vortex

Premium Member Have You Seen Him

Hollow eyes
Sagging skin
Wounds undressed
Ashes strewn about
                his feet
A tremor 
     sunders his lips

death hovers bedside
hollow eyes without pity
alone with my guilt
explanations meaningless
schedules must always be met

every pore of charlatan
bleeding illusion
mirage of grooves of magic
rode hollow soul to the black hole.

All of the regrets I try to burrow
I'll end up being in sorrow
Whenever I become hollow
I find myself crying in my pillow

Inner Beauty

The beauty within
Can only be seen with love
And understanding
Not by judgmental people
Who are filled with hollow souls

System Overload

Darkness consumes me
Corrupted thoughts take over
Soul becomes hollow
Self castigation occurs
Tears of blood destroys all hope

I Came Upon a Wishing Well

What a well of Good Ideas
This Poet found; I sipped a swallow,
And so I choked on all I wrote-
For it was empty, dry and hollow

Premium Member Lump of Foam

Form trembles my mind
all matter fads to decay
Empty sense objects
void, hollow, insubstantial
breathes mental impermanence

Premium Member I Caught a Glimpse of You

a hollow reflection in the window
you thought no one was looking
eyes lost in the distance

Hindsight

John McCain 
And Sarah Palen weren’t to blame;
The GOP thought women would follow,
Like all their heads were suddenly hollow.

A Rhyming Hurt

(22/11/2013)

You give me a long stare
Dig a big hollow then depart
Life has never been fair
Why has hurt always hugged 
my heart?
Form: Rhyme

Trust Pt 2

Easily given,
Easily taken away, forever hollow 
Forever unworthy
What a big heart you have
Easy for you to trust with my dear

Heresy

Low praises, my dear
These hollow hymns, I have hummed
Vile verses shouted 

Heretic’s testimonies
Sinful sermons to deaf ears
Form: Tanka

Deceit Always Backfires

To caress egos
Hollow minds with muffled hearts
Create fancy sounds,
Resonating deceit, they
Rob their souls of true friendships
Form: Tanka

Nirvana

Voices fading into hollow
Total desolation

Lost in own thoughts
Vicious circle

Vastness, timelessness
New friends

My world, my limbo

The Cherokee River

pink head salmon
leap from the
bright river currents of
the Cherokee River and
flop into the hollow mouth
of the black grizzly bear

Quicksand hope hollow inside,
deranged dreams subside.
Shaky footsteps falter,
hourglass sands capture. 
Life loses the prop.
