Parasites and bloodsuckers
Once plump, now a prune...

Fallowed, shallowed and hollowed,
Some remain sorrowed....

hollowed trees with empty nests
robins reap trite spoils...

When we hollowed out the sea
Bring me the captain’s log...

the crumpled tissue paper
thrown onto the filth
drowned on truth...

Hollowed out
Beyond belief
To the point of indifference
And if you could
Piece me back together
I might care...

Listen to poem:

Your garden beckons holistically,
Dig more holes please!
Deep, hollowed out, cavities
For springtime debunk, revival....

Waves of time
Rip through sands
Sands of love
Sands of war
Sands of birth
Sands of death
Till the sands
Are hollowed...

Listen to poem:

At the core of a hollow is a hole
a void of emptiness
that only exists
because its surroundings
are something solid,
with something hallowed,
missing within....

In the very depths of hell,
Lies a frozen rose in its hollowed soil,
 Bathed by scorching flames daily.
Yet it still survives by,
The love I once held for you....

Our common end
we're swept
out of sight
and the bird
lies on the ground
neatly hollowed out
by the army of ants
an awesome flying creature
reduced to a few feathers....

creep into that wasted house
no structure to reinforce
what has been hollowed out

one day soon these walls will collapse
and the cause will be chiseled in the ashes
Relapse...

Here lies the whistling hollowed bones of lovebirds 
Entrenched in storm torn skylines
Set flight amidst torrents
Breaking body and soul
Failing to find the fervent love in them in others...

Its twisted, hollowed out trunk
Appears dead, but it has leaves;
An abundance of green leaves
Proves it is alive.

Don’t know why
I sit here
Saddened
And resentful,
Pondering
Pathetic expectations
Of your
Intent…
Nothing will relieve
This hollowed hope
Manufactured almost
Effortlessly;
Now reduced to  
Torment...

As nightfall wanes over the hills

To trail away, in quietude

My calm eyes watch a hollowed view

Evanescing into dusk’s edge.

Crushed beneath the skin of Brigit, hollowed out,

Stuffed full of mead & words;

 

I drift here

 

Losing touch, losing form

 

Wishing there was one,

just one who never hated me.

Sitting here on this stoop
My mind is a hollowed husk
My heart a lukewarm soup
Cooling off with the dusk

Petting my old black cat
I watch the rising full moon
Thinking I’ll never top that
I remember it’s only June....

I will not open out
My hollowed shell.
The pearl was cracked
Long ago.

The salty water still surrounds me.
Waves still crash down day by day.
A crack, an arrow,
All the same.

Wave after wave after wave after wave....

Stormy lives lived, their
    whirling vicissitudes
  tease our windy passions
    imagery strewn

  'long corridors else hollowed
    by whores and addicts, why?
  rages the storm, tempting
    deep within, reflects the sky...

Skulls
                   cracked, hollowed 
       showing, decomposing, wounding
  Remains, Graves, Cemeteries, Mausoleums
      cushioning preserving, defending 
                    damaged, vacant 
                           Souls....

Bungalow shrouded by sorrow
Ancillary space time doth borrow
Recycled dreams in dark basement furrow
Residual memories in corroded hope chest burrow
Embezzled ambitions in fallow vault sallow
Naked soul in hollowed-out walls doth wallow...

I was dead and buried,
a corpse rotting in soil.
No sunshine reached me,
my flesh falling away, hollowed.

But I am alive now,
green and bursting forth.
So much has been lost,
while I slept in the ground,
but now I am here again,
ready for each new day....

Feeling cold,
Lost in desperation,
Remembering sadness,
Getting in frustration...

Trying to let go,
Comprehended,
By few of those.

Losing comprehension,
Restrained from myself,
Being criticized,
Feeling hollowed.

Needing help,
To bring me,
Back to life......

For a mere twenty-two dollars you can buy one of these.
I turn to see decapitated doll heads; some have blood dripping from them.
They have cacti and other plants growing out of their hollowed-out heads.
I can barely believe my luck. Only twenty-two dollars?...
