Vacant by ~AngelGrewBlackWings:iconAngelGrewBlackWings:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Spiritual > Open




Black onyx statues
They stand, rooted;
Seeping into
The cold pavement
Beneath their base.

No hope lingers here;
Everyone is aware
Of their own mortality
And lone spirits sneer
At the next passerby crowd
With streams of blood
Gushing through their veins,
While their hearts
Remain as vacant
As the tombs here.

Those who enter this place
Do so willingly
Out of realization that
They’ve got nowhere to go;
No needy hands
Reaching out for them
In the dead of night.

They reach in vain
For the sun’s blinding rays,
Kneeling before these
Onyx saints,
Waiting for them
To gesture a signal
They’ve been anticipating
All their lives.

If only they knew
That these Onyx statues
Were as vacant
As their hearts...

Hehe. Yes I am ;) I've been super busy these past few weeks with all my 7 classes, and did not have much to do anything but study. I'm so relieved that I only have a week of finals left now, and then I'm done, for about a week or so, before my new term begins. I've fostered a lot of creative energy lately but have had little time to put it to use, so I will write bits and pieces whenever I get a chance. I see in your signature that you got a new account (I'm gonna check it out now); why did you decide to make the switch? =)

There isn't anything really on the account yet, but if you want to watch me then that is the one to do it on because all of my new stuff is going to go there and after mid October I won't be doing anything on this one anymore. I made the change because I have changed and do not cater to the negative any longer and want the name on my account to reflect my new philosophy. Myrddyn is the celtic (or should I say brythonic) version of Merlin.
