The world is off kilter

by Mr Rhee   Feb 16, 2012


The world is off kilter.
The sky is the wrong color,
and the stars don't shine as bright anymore.

The air, it is not sweet today.
I look around me, and all is faded.
I'm...incomplete, and less than before.

That which made me whole,
has wandered away.
Leaving a need in my bones.

A wanting, a hurt, full of emptiness.
I look and look, but there is no one
to ease this pain.

I reach out, and grasp nothing.
Please, oh please, my soul...
Bring it back to me?

    Wow, this is a moving poem. Stopped and made me think about stuff around me. I've definitely felt that way before too! Great peace.

    I agree with the above comment.
    The feeling of emptiness it's not the best one but fortunately, it can be fill up. So there is hope. :)

    A strong poem indeed, a piece to vent one frustrations about the world. I like how you describe the emptiness in the beginning and then hook it to the idea that you have lost the spark of your soul.
