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

Puddle of Ashes
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...

civil war
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.

Grief
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....
