Vacancy of Time

 Tears can't fall in the silence of your soul.
Your quivering lip cannot let go.
The ache in your heart is crushing your mind.
Your fighting off the nightmares one day dream at a time.
Your twisted contortions wreak havoc on timid strength.

You've wasted the chance to wrestle your demons
Demented and delusional you wallow in spite
Forgetting the wrong and hating the right
Playing their games, too humble to bow.
These are not your dreams you're playing with now.

Nightmares are wasted in the off hand of reality.
Your vision has clouded and jaded your heart.
The pearls have left you feeling as swine
Your doubts come running in the hour of nine.
Nothing is different, yet something is new.

Delusions avoid your grandeur of schemes
paranoia is paramount to promising purchase
Now is the time to deal in your screams
In places where fear is more than it seems.
Violence is virtue in this, your vacancy of time.

wo ho ho........... Now that is what i call poetry.... A must read for everyone...
The repetition of the initials, the 5 line stanzas, the uniformity and the well thought out rhyming schemes; they all g hand in hand with immeasurable gales of reality you throw at the reader......
Generally i have to restrict myself for complimenting writers for their deep thoughts or sometimes their rhymes but here you go man.... Its a complete poem ... I name it and you have got it there...... Rhyme, rhythm, Vocab, co-ordination of words, music, a steady uniform flow........ everything is there....
You should feel proud..... Woah!
Kudos dude!

Thank you johnnyqueer and I am happy to have written a piece that made you think.

Frustration is evident, yet there is a calm cool beneath the tone of this poem. You have captured the beast of human emotion with words and tamed it with meaning.

[realmwriter]

Thank you very much my friend.

And for what we do not register and deal with - well, it shall always mutate and curse the ground we walk upon...
This is a great poem love...you are never afraid to verse the emotions throughout such frustration, I love it xoxo

One must never be afraid to put to paper what the heart and mind cannot hold. For we know not what we are told but follow blindly to the fold. That's what this is about for me. Not following blindly but opening our eyes and seeing all that there is in time.
