Emptiness at last

Love fills in empty spaces; without it comes emptiness...

Emptiness at last                      by Sami Khalil

I bring it to cloture-

myself and I, in lockstep,

this madness of sundry battering,

of aggregated reasoning,

panned by critics through sieves,

reflecting storms, rolling through

pellucid waters.

From vintage points,

to my vantage ones,

beggars for love dwell,

unborn as the days

proffering handouts,

of spoken names, of frescoed faces.

I bring it to cloture-

netting all lives lost, notated and played back,

with debt incurred,

but I can’t close the spaces.

Emptiness at last!

Emptiness at last.

When it comes to the many truths of love one thing is clear. The only control one has for this emotion is the amount they are willing to give, and never the amount they will ever receive in return. They can only hope it is equal. Emptiness at last, indeed. Excellent work my friend.

Wowzy woooo! So true and well articulated dear Carlos. The law of harvest is true and enriching; we reap what we sow as you know. Million thank yous sir for all.

Wow, your poem is truly beautiful and thought-provoking! I was completely swept up in the imagery and the emotion of the piece, and I found myself deeply moved by the themes of love, loss, and emptiness that you explore so eloquently. Your use of language is truly masterful, and I was struck by the way that you weave together different images and ideas to create a rich and complex tapestry of meaning. I particularly loved the way that you juxtapose the madness and battering of life with the calm and clarity of pellucid waters, and the way that you explore the tension between vintage points and vantage ones. Your poem is a powerful meditation on the human condition, and it left me feeling both uplifted and deeply moved.

Wow! I can't thank you enough dear poet and friend for this wonderful review and sharing. It is inspirational indeed. I'm honored to know talented poets as yourself.

I would be grateful if you take out some time and just stroll around my account to read one of my poem named, "The King's Stage." I mean i have invested a significant amount of time and effort into crafting those scenarios in my mind and translating it into written form.
