the-void - Hello Poetry

Not all is as it ever was Not all thinks as it ever does While poems may be spoken The words contained turn out broken While the spirits seem to be bold The body lies dreary and cold As it sits, covered in frost Its soul forever lost Carrier vacant

Hollow Shells of People

Not all is as it ever was Not all thinks as it ever does While poems may be spoken The words contained turn out broken While the spirits seem to be bold The body lies dreary and cold As it sits, covered in frost Its soul forever lost Carrier vacant

Small, green leaf buds Growing on the branches of trees Violet clovers and dandelions Unfold in the fresh grass A clean scent fills the air Birds start calling at last Frogs croak in the forest While the undergrowth becomes more dense Grey clouds gather in the sky A few cold drops of rain fall To where the river lies A rabbit streaks across the field Taking cover from the rain While far away a whistle can be heard From a passing freight train The last of the winter snow melts While the rain quickens its pace Finally, it's springtime Of many, it is the best of days

The sounds behind me fade away As I slowly fall asleep But when I open my eyes I find myself in a dream Here I am, in a crowded room Full of cheering people As I stand up in confusion The floor tilts beneath me I stare up at them Finding that I'm shrinking Or are the others getting taller, Leaving me standing here, thinking? Just as one steps on me, I drift to another dream Here I lie, in a shed The door standing agape The stars shine overhead While my friend obsesses over tape This is eerily realistic In fact, this happened yesterday Just as I realize this, I drift back awake And I stare at the window in surprise Just outside, I see a note, "Open your eyes." So I do, and I find That was only another dream

Whiteness blocks your vision From the sky to the ground Snowflakes keep on falling You can't hear a sound Frost settles on the glass And when you rub it away, It crawls right back from the edges Icy daggers fall in place Steam blows from your mouth Icicles snap and crunch From their places on the house Far away is a grey haze Which is really only trees Bare branches stretching up While the twigs snap and freeze The peaceful calm makes you Want to stay here all night long But the cold tells you otherwise And pushes you along

Long ago, Back in time, Before today Too far away It is unreachable Yet still we have our stories Yet still we have our songs To tell the tales of long ago Far along and far along Later, later, we will see What it's like to be Left behind, forgotten Never known anymore Chipped and weathered Like a great stone Those last words, we may see At the stance of the grave But yet forgotten, they may be Remembrance of the brave Maybe if we leave behind Our importance of long ago Perhaps these shadows of the past Won't seem like shadows anymore

Velvet curtains over a sunlit window Casting their shadows over the floor Shattered peace standing over the scene Blood stains the grass and vultures fly low Sirens blare and there are coming more The falling rain no longer clean Shouts of sorrow cease to cease Something is put into the back of a van Screeching tires come again This time they aren't coming, but leaving All is lost, stand to speak Funeral gone, it's been a week Not forgotten, but never known By those to come who would love her most

In the Void, Time writhes beneath the shadows, The twisting shadows Time bends against the breeze, But there is no breeze Time slows against pain Time is slow Bending low Breaking in Through the wind Time goes on Time goes long On and off Not to stop End is near Live in fear Time is slow. Time is slow. In the Void, Cold shivers in the blackness The impossible blackness This is the void But not the void For in it lies Twinkling eyes Nightmares lurk In thick shadows Hiding view, To not look through Something glows And it goes In no light Put up no fight Give it in Air is thin Breathe in slow Let it go Give it in. Give it in.

In the Void

In the Void, Time writhes beneath the shadows, The twisting shadows Time bends against the breeze, But there is no breeze Time slows against pain Time is slow Bending low Breaking in Through the wind Time goes on Time goes long On and off Not to stop End is near Live in fear Time is slow. Time is slow. In the Void, Cold shivers in the blackness The impossible blackness This is the void But not the void For in it lies Twinkling eyes Nightmares lurk In thick shadows Hiding view, To not look through Something glows And it goes In no light Put up no fight Give it in Air is thin Breathe in slow Let it go Give it in. Give it in.

Flame erupts from emptiness Red, glowing embers spouting out Crackle, sounds the fire Emitting ghostly black smoke Blotting out the stars, heading higher Orange licks of flaring flame All wild, not tame Forest fire all the same Heavy trunk towers Not much longer anymore Soon it falls, seeming slow Brittle branches breaking, The sizzle of sap The wood turning white From the depths grow specks of light And from this grows new fire And from this grows new flame More trees topple, Sending up their roots Now the sky starts turning silver While the sun burns fiery gold The flames start to dwindle The air is growing cold Clouds form on the horizon Fat rain falls on the glowing remains Putting out the embers Now the flame no longer stays
