Emptiness

by Paul London   Feb 17, 2009


The deep recess of a mind gone numb
All thoughts permeating and not taking hold.
A once bold and textured canvas full of color
Now smooth and flat, dull gray and blank.

Stretching and reaching to hold that thought
For a moment light flickered, it has passed on.
Too much to contemplate and yet not enough
Has consciousness become particulate in this great abyss?

Simplicity is a rectifier of the unlucky host
One granule or grain of a thought provoked.
Nay not a ray or beam of shining light
A deception achieved, let the emptiness gather.

    Kay,

    Thank you for all your comments on my poems. I never take offense to anything anyone say's. We can all use constructive criticism. My writing comes in spurts. This format seems to work better for me than just simply keeping a journal. I believe we all have some sort of an emotional outlet, it is just a matter of finding it and then learning to express it. This is how I write. I am not looking to become the next T.S. Elliot I just want to express myself and put it out there for other people to see. Kind of my own little secret world type thing with a twist i guess. Please continue to read and give your input. I value all opinions.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    This was an amazing write. Fantastic job and other than one minute spelling mistake (shining not shinning) this was my favorite poem by you that I have read so far. You have a real talent and I think it is best displayed in these types of writes. Wonderful Job. Take Care, Kay
