The Immensity of Emptiness

by HansRik   Sep 4, 2005


An hollow heart, and empty of love,
But full of dirous, dreadful dreams.

A heart that taintly loved,
A heart that faintly dreamt of love,
A heart of wrathful passions,
A heart that burns with its own fiery intentions,
Leaving no more than a barren set of ashen ruins.

Such is the immensity of emptiness.

The heart that expires its bloody tears cries its past, its love:
A set of futile memories which stroked its loathsome soul.

And thus the heart remains be-lied,
Believing that 'twas full of fiery love,
Not realising that 'tis full of empty ice.

And this is the immensity of emptiness
That passions bygone, and love be-thought caress'd.

    Really lovely work. I liked the second stanza best - it really captured what you are talking about nicely. I also liked these lines 'The heart that expires its bloody tears cries its past, its love:
    A set of futile memories which stroked its loathsome soul.' The imagery in these was very stong.
