A marionette

A marionette of the void
Aware of the needle like strings,
Stranding on the edge of light
Yet covered by the veil of hollowness
A woeful homunculus, gazing at the abyss


Man Is Monster

I tighten your tie, tighten in your lies, shine your shoes so I can see the real you and hold your eyes to mine in the big blue sky.
So I can see inside the hollowness that is you.

LIFE

Listening to the torture, the evidence of love lost,
It soothes the loneliness and heavy hollowness
Felt by so many; a smile creeps onto the face of
Each of us, knowing we are heard by the poet.

(for Taylor Swift)

Your Ardour

Who adjourns me
in this backlight story
Who will call the wolf
to dance in her captivity ?
Willow wisp dispensing hollowness
espied on fields of grey

The World's a stage
disembark at your own peril
Pontificate
your ardour
anoints us well

The Withering Bloom

At the dead of night
he came inside stealthily,
By daybreak he was gone.

He stole the essence of my flower,
left me with swaths of thorns in his wake,
a feeling of hollowness in my world.

Don'T Fear the Truth

Don’t fear the truth
Only be afraid of the lies
Those thoughts that entertain the mind
With fallacies dripping in hollowness
Yet reality grips onto weight
Holding true emotion
But never breaking under stress
Because truth fastens life
When deceit unravels it

Jack
Primal, hungry, intense, aware
Son of Johnnie
Lover of Mitch, cannabis, and poppy
Who feels the wind, the land, the spirit
Who fears hollowness, weakness, and failure
Who would like to see justice, an awakening, and a renewal

I'M Having An Old Friend For Dinner

An empty bottle cringes then 
A lone moment traces
A hollowness in soul.

Twisted truth of surviving on 
Coldness only embraces
To puzzle more. And more..

An uneasiness emerges then
An introspection cries 
Only to let me know..

I'm having an old friend for dinner.

Premium Member The hollowness of now

An emptiness follows me
                           Walks with me

Haunts the present
                          With claws of the past

Tearing moments asunder
                               Increasing the hollowness

Of a now
          Devoid of what was
                                     When.

Lost Days

Lost in the darkness 
lusting for a way out 

Lurking in the blackness 
longing for the tunnel 
Blinking at the vague emptiness 
stirring the hollowness 
scaring the shadows

Scattering the darkened clouds 
surfing for a ray of hope 
Roaring at my doubts 
as l map my way home

Following Ahead - Please Offer Your Honest Critique and Opinions

From where we’ve been, must be the truth, That was sought in the hollowness of time. Struggling to reach from the outside, To ratify oneself. From the innermost fragment there flows a justice, That one greets from behind. Leading against the vanishing compulsions of mystery, Finishing those who follow.

My Love For You

A pure arousing freshness
Streams through the ocean air,
Crispy icey fingers surrround
The rain pulsates against
Pale fog  fondly caresses
White caps ram down 
Darken caves,
spray splashes the walls
shuttery waves drifts up 
and around the smooth
curves,
water swells in the hollowness
floam slides away
evening night feathery
floats down upon

Longing

I peer through the window;
the hollowness of my soul
reaches across the distance
of an endless horizon
 
this day seems sultry
much like my thoughts
when i think of you

a slight breeze
kisses my face
like a heated breath
falling soft on bare flesh
 
passionate dreams
mingle with possibilities,
reality screams

i feel summer's touch
yet i wonder...

is it you?

Since the Day You Walked Away

My heart feels like an empty space
I see millions of faces
Still it feels like I am out of place
Since the day you walked away

The hollowness seems larger
Every time the sun shines brighter
Because none of your laughter
Makes it warmer anymore

Mellowness
Sorrow and sadness
Leaving me senseless
In this indefinite madness
Since the day you walked away

Absence

Those crimson rims I still taste,
Your pretty thoughts I constantly chaste

Hunted by those orbs filled with certainty,
One I’d be blessed to gaze till eternity

Lingering touch I feel,
That portal of another thrill

Hollowness I can’t articulate,
In this coldness I’m intoxicate

Wistful for the warmth of your voice,
Doubting if patience was the right choice?

January

January

January pouts like a petulant child,
Crying with rain and dreary.
“Why is fun out of favor now?
I wished for more attention and approval, 
A relief from fury and fever pitch of perfecting,
A time to revive and renew, and now
Rest and relief have cunningly come, and yet
Suddenly, hollowness and longing,
Not for the flashy and flamboyant past,
 
But for the manger.

Premium Member Tin Hearts

Through Tin Hearts,
shallow pleadings
wander unwillingly with time,
in concert with
a melancholy spectre
of Love's past.
Surely, it must not
be too late
to borrow these moments
nor to clear
the hollowness
that echoes from
the smithery of despair.
Empty of it's consortion ,
Hope desires respite.
Loneliness,
on the other hand,
always has
an eager
companion.

Soul Ketchup

mostly when you leave
the sunshine stays, but it’s all different
and the hollowness
and the opression
and the muzziness
and the fecklessness
and the lassitude
and all that other things, even slightly
hit sharply like soul lightnings
and fire tornadoes 
and the beating tomato of my heart
feels like a ketchup trapped in a bottle
but I‘ll always wait until that day
when I can see you again

The Power of Renunciation

a strange like feeling
unknown so far,
pierced through me,
with hollowness
of the years, in true.

yet, the life as such,
in a jiffy, gone and flew
that I lived alone
as one in the crew.

its flavour tastier
and rhythm smoother,
when a new shoot
of renunciation grew.

the real happiness,
as I felt, in the detachment 
and the stark joy in the fullest,
that was only for me and a few.

Premium Member Windmills

I was born in rehab.
Hearing the hollowness of my own ear drums,
I felt loose and without words.

I love windmills,
As the world echoes around me:
With the girl who can't walk.
And the giant, angry one.

I hate work.
I want balloons, bubbles, and windmills.
I want them now.

Somewhere I will open up the quietest of dreams.
And round and round we all will go
As big as a hot air balloon.

Premium Member Nesting

The horrid hollowness of the empty nest,
viewed without a redress, empty nest.

Years of doting, uplifting, caring
bring forth a man of kindness, empty nest.

The sun which rose with his laughter
sets with a mother’s loneliness, empty nest.

Let my heart sing with each memory
of cuddled child breathless, empty nest.

Remembering you, longing for your smile,
brings meaning home, fullness to empty nest.

Lament

It so exists within me strong The hollowness, oh how I long If only I were to know love I beg I find I beg I find But no, it never ever seems to be A fated curse, my misery I shall never know the touch Of thee I seek Of thee I seek I pray this night it quickly pass I want no pain, this night to last It draws my blood in form of tears For love not found For love not found

Premium Member Owl Serenade

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
startling me ……………………………….the first time
in the dark, surrounding me, coming from
God only knew what direction.

I stood motionless, marveling at owl’s hollowness.
It was as if she makes her own unique echo.
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I hear her much more often now,
but 
I am ready
Not nearly as frightened.
Does my hair still stand up on my arms? Sure.

Looking Glass

In the looking glass I see
A stranger there or is it me
Curly hair and pale blue eyes
An honest face or a disguise
To hide the hollowness inside
No life there yet still alive
Not decayed but never filled
Moving on by act of will
Looking for a way to breach
This glass that keeps us out of reach
Which side of the glass am I
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE I hoarsely cry
If you walk away from me
Will I simply cease to be?

Toxic State

Do not think about the hollowness
It's not real, it is only a cavity
Oh but the cold, strangling my toes
The cold in which inhabit my foes
Oh and the demons that visit me at night and dawn
Demanding that I become withdrawn
You're done, you are no longer wanted here,
Come forth, and you will no longer bear this fear
Shivers trickled down my spine as I came to the fore
Reminding me, that I was never even here before.
