Empty
Empty
So empty it is
Gone the spark
Has fled
Somewhere it is
Missing something
Wrong without
Life the soul is---
Empty
A hollow shell
Ringing with echoes
It drums
Without substance
A vessel
All noise and---
Empty
A shadow of oneself
Less than whole
Below existence
It is gone and
Nothing left
Everything is---
All
Just
Empty
========================================
Wolf Hunting
Ah~ Oooooooooo~~~~~~~~
The howls of the hunter
Haunts the bowels of night---
Clinking soft, winding
Wending through shadows so slight
Ah~ Oooooooo~~~~~
It calls to the pack
Seeking the scattered---
Lost to the winds, swift
The wings of separation
Ah~ Oooooo~~~
Lonely the cries of one apart
Singing to those in foreign tongue---
Or hear not, mournful
The wolf who runs alone
Ah~ Ooo~~
It does not hunt
Solitude speeds at its side---
Watching, waiting
For signs that linger no more
Ah~ Oo~
Pity the wolf who runs alone
Unable to stop, unable to hunt---
That which is seeks, gone
Belonging once yet now lost.
===================================
Lamentations
I know I shouldn't have
I know I should have stopped
I knew it was wrong---
But I did it anyway.
I made you in my own image
I held your Fate in the palm of my hand
I held the keys to Life and Death---
But I let it happen anyway.
I watched you suffer
I watched you cry
I saw you sink into the abyss---
But I let you go anyway.
I brought you back a second time
I made you bleed even more this time
I saw your pain and felt it too---
But I did it anyway.
I feel guilty and I cannot lie
I bleed every time I watch you die
I felt your pain as if it were mine---
But we won't forgive me anyway.
===================================
Blame Game
Blame me when the sun won't shine
Blame me when we're out of time
Blame me always:
It's my fault when things go wrong.
Daddy blamed me when times were hard
Daddy blamed me for not doing my part
Daddy blamed me:
It's my fault for being there.
They blamed me when my granny fell
They blamed me when she hurt herself
They blamed me:
It's my fault for not being there.
I blamed me when my mother died
I blamed me for being useless and undignified
I blamed me:
It's my fault for being a burden to all and sundry.
Blame me because it's so easy
Blame me because I'm such a fool
Blame me all you want:
It's my fault---
All the time.
===========================================
4 poems in 2 weeks! I'm beginning to start composing poems every weekend now. It's good to keep in practice. It makes things come easier. I would wax lyrical and all, but I'm too lazy right now for a ridiculously long blog post. Well, when I get over my lethargy I'll be back.
IF I get over it, that is....
