A void within a void

Will it ever answer me?

my call has yet to return with any news

heart starved for information

even an inkling

could fill

a void within a void. 

 

hopess dreams. 

 

never encounters.

 

the truth in our eyes.

 

the warmth of your presence.

 

Gone from me. 

 

In a haunting violent twist 

wrung from my arms 

before I could grasp understanding

 

poisened into submission 

a high price for that noose around your neck 

mine not much cheaper either.

 

the days endlessly cold

and the colour drained 

both of us noosed

on the ends of the same rope 

and the knot a sign of infinity 

yet also of teathered and locked

 

oh, what could have been 

the stars within our reach

the universe humbled by the power of it!

what dreams could have lived.

 

Lucid and awake;

quietly still bracing

I can do nothing but wait...

 

no news,

not even an inkling.

nothing to fill

the void within a void.

According to the slit experiment we watch over ourselves... the question may be...who creates the void? ;-)

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
