I stood there in the quiet accompanied by the swirling Zephyros A still voice piercing, emanating, delving And my brows furrowed, face contorting
January 30, 2018     Dear Emptiness,   How do I write to you. You are what is not there or could be there. For you there can be anything inside.
I’m sitting in my room Looking out my window down Feeling extremely trapped inside Although I’m really not sure why But even as I am home again I can’t seem to find an outward happiness
There's a place that I've been  doesn't have top nor end  and you'll fly like a bird underwater   There's a song you should hear  hold a shell up to your ear  and you'll be
Where did you go My Soul, my soul? Oh God do answer  For only you know. My soul, my soul To where did you leave? Or are you trapped within pulsating walls Where the darkness does so cleave?

How do I fill this void I have tried distractions and diversions But I am still a very sad person. I try not to lose my writing passion
If the yearning has passed and I am no longer aghast in the rooms of my heart, I’ll be going now.   If desire has ceased dripping from solicitous lips, the future is a yawning abyss,
Uneventful brain canvass leaves much to be desired.Ancient wisdoms, science laws I've struggled to acquireFrom the corner of my eye they sink into the mirethat stagnant swamp that's left behind when big souls lose their fire.

Cold plastic is what I see It’s all you will ever be Whispers and actions Divides our “family” into factions Rumors and back-stabbing Anger from her blabbing “Second family” yeah right
  i speak for those who have lost their courage to speak  for those whos words run to the tip of their tounges just to retreat back to the back of the throats back to where they came from

You're dropping "I'm sorry" like I'm still around.I don't care how you feel. I don't care about your excuses.You took for granted all the times I never let you down.
Each moment completely whole   Each breath cherished   Each touch filled with joy    Each kiss remembered   Each smile because you're here
       Brave, loyal friends having one another's backs        A loving sensei* always encouraging him
Silent tears concealed by a pathetic façade. Soundless suffering, weeping. A voiceless shrill cloaked by false smiles. Muted agony, raw and searing. A torturous solitude

If there's light in love, How were we so dark? Why all this pain? why all the muck Love is supposed to be beautiful...   We were a Nuesance, to us and each other
It had been there for the longest time A nail in place of this heart of mine Eyes blank and wandering in darkness I never understood why it was mine But it always burned  
Carry the One. carry,.. drag.. discard! -futile. GRIPPING my face, Clawing me back..                         My affliction.    my burden. MY BURDEN. carry, drag.   Lost within my own
The void

I left my soul on your floor last night. Battered, and cold. The cracks in the tile cradled my scarlet letter, safely. Your hands strong; sweet.I was certain that this was honest—perhaps naive.
My life is worth nothing, but an empty space More than eternity darkness More than bottomless ocean Because I am who I am My life feels like the bottom of a dark miserable hole
Love is hysterical Such is the hysteria that you do not even realize when it has made camp within your walls Embedding itself within your soul Until it is ripped from the place in which it was rooted

The Ocean pulls it’s body back and forth like my lungs that breathe in life. And my heart that drums it’s final beats. I’m sitting on a bulk of sand from the high tide line.
