#void poems on Hello Poetry

Syafie R Jan 21

Nexus

Interfering waves distort the mind,
shattered dreams freeze in their wake—
a chasm deep, sleep’s quiet grave,
where reality bends and breaks.

The ego quivers at the brink,
between the void and waking’s weight,
a struggle fierce, a war with fate—
archetypes stir, reborn to think.

Don’t overthink it folks. Just read and let your mind wander like it’s on vacation. No deep thinking required unless you’re feeling fancy.

Hibakusha

That day, my tears surrendered— 
no flood, no fight, just silence.
It stopped feeling, 
as if watching Nagasaki fall, 
a mushroom cloud rising,  
bodies frozen,
shadows left behind, 
no scream, no running—
 just acceptance.
You built a void within me,
  an implosion of despair, 
and sealed it shut.

Blackened

In shadows deep, where silence reigns, A journey marked by unseen chains.
Through corridors of night we tread, Seeking solace in the dread.
The echoes linger, cold and stark, In every heart, a lasting mark. To depths unknown, we cast our gaze, In twilight's grip, we lose our ways.
Enticed by voids, we break the ties, In newfound space, where darkness lies.
With every step, a story traced, In haste we move, yet time erased.

where I want to be buried

A friend asked, “Where would you like to be buried when you die?”
While he looked to the ground
My eyes lingered upon the sky—
“The verdant grass makes me itch
While the bluest ocean is too deep...
The void meanwhile is quiet and without any life...
Isn't it perfect place to rest after I die?”
He laughed and said, ”That's crazy!”
And I thought:

You are the crazy
To live in this world of weary
And not escape, but instead be buried—
In my death I want to be free.

This is a little bit exaggerated convo of me with a friend.

Nothing Cannot Exist

Nothing cannot exist
When there is a lump of nothing, a void of nothing, something always comes to fill it
Nothing cannot remain, nothing cannot thrive, nothing is not forever
Perhaps nothing can exist, but only for a short time

I feel empty, numb, void of emotion, but nothing cannot exist
Nothing greets existence
The void welcomes anything and everything to fill it
So what fills it?

I feel nothing, I dont care, but suddenly, the world comes crashing in
I am sobbing and the world is crumbling
Everything is so meaningful and impactful, but all in the wrong ways, and I will never recover

Then I am angry, more livid than anyone ever has been
Why me? Who would do this? I dont deserve to feel this way.
I want to set the world ablaze, me along with it

Then nothing,
Everything is fine, I shouldn't care and I dont
Everything is fine, I am void of care or emotion, the world is what it is

I am hollow, and although nothing cannot exist, hollow follows me
The floating, empty, hollow of my stomach, stays
Even when im sobbing
Even when im angry
and especially when “i dont care”

Being numb is “easy”
It protects me from the world and myself
But is it really?
Because nothing, cannot exist

When I feel, it is with unknown strength and uncontrollable power
Overwhelming
insatiable

People say that numbness is empty, aimless, void
They feel nothing and nothing hurts
But I've never understood that

My numbness comes in crashing waves
And it never lasts long
It invites pandemonium and nurtures chaos

But can I stop it? No
Can I personally invite emotion back? No
Can I convince numbness to leave? Never

I am at the mercy of numbness
As much as I wish I could feel true nothing
Nothing cannot exist

Heart's wilted bloom

The flowers you once planted in the garden of my heart blossomed in the gentle cascade of your love, their vibrant petals reaching toward the light of your presence. Yet now, abandoned by the nurturing hand that gave them life, their leaves grow weary, their vitality fading. Only a few fragile petals remain, trembling on the edge of oblivion, clinging to the memory of a home where they once thrived in radiant efflorescence.

The leaves are curling and fading and the last delicate petals falter, ready to descend into the void

A Gaze Within

I realized, it's not the universe
Or the microscopic world
That a Human should look into,
We shall seek our soul
Hidden to the void we own;
Navigating through experiences
That are like storms in the sea
And, probably, we would realize
That maybe the greatest treasure of all
Is us, ourselves.

Lucana

I tried to write you down,
to cage your shape in syllables
and carve your voice into stone—
but you fell through the spaces between the words,
your presence an ache I could not name.

You were the shadow
cast by light too bright to see,
the ripple left by a hand
reaching for water but finding air.

I am tethered to what is not,
chasing the echo of an echo,
a whisper that refuses to rest.
You linger where thought dissolves,
where memory curls in on itself,
a Möbius of longing.

If I could grasp you,
trace the edges of your form,
I would not.
You are not meant to be held,
only felt in the hollow
you carved into my being.

And when I speak your name,
it splinters—
a sound too heavy for breath,
too light to fall.
