Empty Eyes, Silent Cries

20 August 2006


Empty eyes, silent cries
for what was love
a word upon a stage
A desire, or destination
feeling entrapped inside

Then where was the road
that path to happiness
While the world does sleep
and steps replaced stones

Unable to touch, words in voice to seek
an outcome, but when or where
Those blessing of two, without
silence and emptiness to share

Did happiness exist, against those eyes
unable to see, a blindness blindfolded
The mask wrapped tight, a heart struck cold
the destination of loneliness
or was this sadness in victim told


“I have a simple philosophy. Fill what’s empty.
Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.”
Alice Roosevelt Longworth
US author (1884 - 1980)
