Vacuous
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....

Star Light, Star Bright
no arms

to break my fall


I wait

hollow-eyed

for sleep


silent sentry

in the jungle night


I lie cemented

in self


counting black holes

in space


where once

there were stars

to wish on

Hollow eyed 
gatherers of material... things
thick egos smashing everything 
no understanding of our insignificance 
against the black curtain of time and star
forgetting the lessons from our scars
Christ crushing little rogues
'til we snap our heart bones
'til the awakening slaps us back 
into a puddle of our ashes...

Hamlet, sharpen your sword of trust, for Macbeth is surely waiting.

The specter of ‘Civil war’ stalks the land and the ghosts of senseless violence, so long docile, have come to hollow-eyed attention.

Our cauldron was filled with innocence, as the ever-thirsty succubi require, the glory of war is being shaken, not stirred and the betrayal will be served as quick and cold as steel.

I beseech the shards of my shattered self,
as recollections collect with a jagged edge,
for a softened reflection of a dream in smithereens
to sheath this sunken cheeked shadow
lost in the mirrored fragments 
of hollow-eyed tears.

An Idle Neighborhood
Dilapidated houses line these streets.
Lawn furniture that holds memories,best kept discreet.
Neighborhood air redden of cooking.
Seniors who've weathered the years of onlooking.
A tumultuous life for those who have lived here.
With nothing but boredom,and occasional fear.
Hollow eyed children,blank with thought.
Raised with the beliefs,of what their parents sought.
A neighborhood best adored from afar.
For living here would just add to the scar....
