Your words devoured everything Like distance, like the waves on the shore An assault by the streetlights And nowhere left to hide A flower, lance of the earth With petals falling, eaten away A green thread of fire Until the only flower was the falling itself The unrealized ambitions The smoldering foam of the river Running through every imaginable color Flowing into silent afternoons How empty I have traveled Like a jar of air I sought in vain For some nameless depth within you I am nothing but the emptiness Of vacant nets on empty seas Consumed by cold, hollow light In an abandoned city of remembered dreams |

How empty I have traveled Like a jar of air I sought in vain For some nameless depth within you WOW Rob! This was great, honestly, I like your word descriptions. Going to look for more to read from you. ~ARh |

Oh, my! Does this ever ache! "I am nothing but the emptiness Of vacant nets on empty seas Consumed by cold, hollow light In an abandoned city of remembered dreams" Sending you a WARM, welcoming hug, Earth Angel |

"A green thread of fire Until the only flower was the falling itself" Very nice. |
