    Beacon of Absence

    I am a lighthouse in the sandNo ships to guide, no sea, no landMy beam reveals what isn't thereMirages lit by vacant airI shine for eyes that never seeA signal lost in memoryMy warnings echo through the dustWhere hope...

    • Dark, sad. Great piece of poetry here.

    • Cool piece. Lighthouses are an imposing structure.
      You can’t miss them unless you are in the trenches!
      The way you put them blind to the eye is great.

    • Thanks for reading..trying to write about something different from my norm..a different level of thought invoking..thank you both for commenting

  • Was born with eyes wide open
    To be prepared for the truth
    Not wanting to offend
    What had happened on the roof

    Holding pasts in a box
    We crawl, we stand, then walk
    Rusty keys enter locks
    Speaking words before caught

    Streams of tears without sound
    Lover’s end, rings withdrawn
    heartbeat forever unbound
    Dawn shows you were a p…Read More

    • Okay, Fia 👌 Thanks for your submission and participation. You’ve made a very good start, with the basic format of a Sonnet down pat … 3 Quatrains and a Rhyming Couplet, and your rhyme-scheme is spot-on. In particular, your topic is interesting, with emotion depth, strong metaphorical imagery, and captivating ambiance that sets the mood. With a b…Read More

    • They are usually the reason we ever learned what longing means.. and the reason we write about it… beautiful

    • This is so excellent. I’m really glad I read it, thanks for posting.

      This particular stanza didn’t read smooth. If I may suggest…

      That towel, is drawn tight
      to guard her beauty.
      His hands still remember
      the soft curve shapes of her lovely breasts,
      the gentle hollow where shadows meet.

      Great writing.

      • Thanks for reading, and for your thoughtful analysis,Tim. I appreciate your constructive criticism very much.

    • Incredible ink .. and so perfectly spilled ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
