Vacancy Poems - Poems about Vacancy

Vacancy

In twilight’s hush, where dreams commence,
I wandered lost in limerence.
A glance, a spark, a breathless flame,
Yet never once he spoke my name 
Love lived in ache, not permanence.
Who am I to wake a beast
Dressed up in stark reality?
For all the signs I could not read
And all the signs I did not see,
Love left within a

No Vacancy

i am a house with the doors left open
for too long.
too many footsteps have walked in
dragging their storms with them.
i do not know how to tell them
i have no space left
to shelter their rain.

i try to listen, to nod, to stay—
but the ceiling is cracking.
i can’t hold up another storm.

so maybe this time,
i will lock

Neon Vacancy

My lips the vacancy sign,
my heart the hotel
You ran up room service again.
left burn marks on the mattress.
Rude to the staff
Yet you seem to always be welcomed back
With my lips flashing like a neon vacancy need for your love

Vacancy

Internally, I am at peace
Making the most of those
Idle moments
Simply siphoning every last
Second of sanity
Yet there is the yearning
Opening the dusty heart has risks
Undeniable, soulful yearning

Vacancy

In the avalanche, I lost track of my guiding light.
I fled my fireside. I had to evacuate my homestead. 
Driven far astray by frenetic frozen fright,
I was just a cowardly racing rescuing airhead.

The wounded wooden face of my brother
lugged away by paramedics in a wheelchair.
My tomb of sleep was my 3 am druthers.
But I called

No Vacancy

When I was down and had no love 
there was a sign on my heart's door 
it simply read, "unoccupied" 
but it's not hanging there anymore. 
The reason is that I found someone 
who gave true love to me 
she then placed a new sign on my heart 
which reads, "no vacancy." 
Well since then

No Vacancy

pain
knocked
at the door
last night...
love answered,
invited it in,
fed it hope,
clothed it with faith,
and showed it the back
exit

Vacancy

vacancy
of my mind
no one here
no activity
no words
no music
empty
tired
sleep
void
vacancy

TATEIAN WHEELS OF LIFE


Twenty Dora-band aids barely cover one of my scars across my chest.  It's my stomach this time. But one hour of reading James Tate makes my mouth curled upward, with an outward breath and smile. Though as morning ended, I thought, "My mood today is nowhere, I haven't been able to

A Vast Vacancy of Tearful Moaning Cries

A Vast Vacancy Of Tearful Moaning Cries

I had always thought to find death in the dead
after seeing lives lost, found I other clues.
Joys of life showed me other answers instead
even if amplified by sad nightly blues.

When glowing red-sun, treads on its daily path
graced by marbled clouds in high summer skies.
Fears of death lost its sting,

The Vacancy of Winter

Now is the boredom of winter.
Each day is a lost city;
The lost city of wood is still.
The cold is a chisel,
Cutting deep in the wood;
There is a message in the long grain,
A message for saints.
Tomorrow may be a long day,
A day of plenty
A day of smiles.
Yet winter rides on--
It goes in a white envelope.
The rain

Vacancy

Scattered shelters
Sometimes shine
Into the sadness
Of what is mine,

That gentle touch
Gives some relief,
Just swept along
A phantom beach,

As waves roll in
I feel the breeze
Replace my thoughts
With swaying ease.

At last returned
Into my vacancy.

No Vacancy

Lying in my bed, it was only after 
Every sound had finished
That I realized the woman was pregnant.
These are hard times for everyone.
What am I suppose to do?
Kick my own mother-in-law out?
It was dark, her breathing was labored, yes.
I figured from travel.
They seem fine now, though. 
I can see them in Elijah's 
Manger a hundred

A Vacancy

~ within the dwellings of the night

               through darkness lies a dim light~

               lost souls wander earth and space in between us
