Vacuous Poems

Absent

Some days I'm just vacuous
No coherent thoughts together
And I use the vague excuse
That it's due to the weather
But actually my head's full
Of fantastic visions and dreams
And I can only feel the world
Through the cracks in the seams

Glutton of Cost

eating again, glutton of cost
he crawled to embrace
the concept of everything, all
hugged to a chest spilling,
kissing vacuous stomach
slid up the slender flesh,
saliva made slugs
a viscous downpour of greed
it could only emanate from he
the glutton of cost
he gnawed at the presence of
all that is near
nothing was sacred in 
the space placed between his ears
it is capsized

Babel

Have we rebuilt the tower of Babel
With weary words of wireless babble?
Do somnolent thoughts surf synapses
On tidal waves of vacuous verbs?

So tasteless, as baseless, and faceless
Secret voices clamor, “I am here”
In clusters of blabbing barnacles
Encrusted, agape, to the Internet.

Watchers, spectators doing little,
Chasing minutia ever fresh.
Turned into products; privacy shed
In a passive world of dungeon dead.

Endlessly

Vacuous Vessel

Tender the moment

of an empty cup that waits

more so patiently

to feel the warmth of aqua

and taste the lure of caffeine.

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.

Vacuous Heart

	
I always see you in that mundane
Every time I stare the emotions’ windowpane
Try not to draw a smile, because I don’t want to be insane
I abhor you every time you talk sweeter than the sugar cane.

To have a perfect liaison, I never anticipate
I am very happy is being a loner is my fate,
So don’t you

A Vacuous Affair

Blissful ignorance

A vacuous affair

Mind numbing atrophy

Life without a care



Cloud dwelling dreams

Of a world less realized

The pyramid schemes

Of a world materialized



Land of the free

Home of the incarcerated

The money wheel keeps turning

Our debt exacerbated



Before it's too late

Do what you can

To save what's left

Of this common man

Vacuous

I sleep wondering will I ever dream but as time passed I soon realize that am haunted 
by my own shadow.  
My mind is empty like a blink paper with no ink to consume, I wait silently waiting for my 
soul to be broken . 
The ocean is vast and lonely will it ever

Flow Flow Thou Vacuous Word

Apple orange grapes
Murder plunder rapes
All and sundry things
Empty vessel rings
Sunset evening dawn
Easy leasy loan
Tortuous treacherous path
Fresh and fragrant bath
Crazy curious crowd
Town talks aloud
Dizzy merry-go-round
Folks tradition-bound
Catchy cute couplet
Astute images inflate
APOSTROPHIC INTERLUDE:
Flow !flow! thou vacuous word
Thou are not so absurd
As man's ineptitude

The Vacuous Man

I drink...
Alone, all the time, always thinking,
About past times that should have been.
I should have done this, I should have done that,
I never get the chance to do anything,
Because nothing ever goes my way,
As I'm too busy anyhow,
My bravery is diminished just for now
And life's dreams will be fulfilled another day...
And confrontational pressure will soon
