My Emptiness

January 4, 2018

Empty as a vessel

Empty is my heart

What craving I yearn for?

What this emptiness?

Collaged visions pass by

Hollowness never satisfy

Down, down, down

Centre of the earth, I found!

Burn me, churn me, no matter!

Blaze up my empty space

So I look no far but inside

The hole, that never fades

A speck, a little something

So what, its atomic size

No there can’t be nothing

Somewhere deep, something lies….
