Empty Noon

Opaqueness of thought

casting dark shadows

over words. 

 

12 noon-

saturated with vacuum,

these black monuments

expand their territory

and trespass

into the realm of poetry.

 

Voids whip across the bare

back of the shadow, and the wounds

are concealed.

Silence basks in the shade.

 

Robe the naked shadow

with a body.

Fill this empty body

with a soul

and this verse with a fragment

of yourself. 

 

Delinquent winds

bullying soils,

smoking

factories like cigarettes

 

puff a gust

of nostalgia. 

 

I do not budge. 

Absence strikes 

hard;

another shadow...

    I am blown away by your talent. This is by far one of the best pieces of poetry I've ever read. There's nothing that I could even quote as my favorite, every line is filled with powerful words.

    this is beautiful work, i really enjoyed the zen state it put me in alike you were building the words from nothing, the very ethers themselves, and of the axis you would revolve....
