Emptiness

And on some days something gives in that which holds me, crashes inside 

in a heavy heap of huge emptiness.

Ages ago, your smile lightened that load 

even fireworks, flowers, feet in the sand, 

Memories etched on moment-feathers

But the heap today crushes breath, all hope

Lonesome roads, lonelier rooms, long corridors of no one knows where 

I drag my load along people pools, 

Seek to lose it in laughter clubs, old books,Lost music, flying kites, night lanterns

Emptiness is my daily bread, life spared 

I am allowed only a morsel that is shared  

When at mealtimes, you wish to be alone

I chisel your name into this mountain on my soul 

And how on somedays, nothingness won't leave

Until you cleave the emptiness into two
