Empty Skies

Empty Skies

A Poem by Tai Ryens

empty skies dot the horizon
of the days I live,
days that drag on by
like years
of eventide
lingering above me

in the daytime, I
find no difference,
for the cloudy skies
always seem
to block the sun
or hide the shooting stars

the only constellations
in the darkness of my life
are the reflections
of the sun
beating down on your
wet fingertips

The emptiness is palpable, especially in the night when we're left with our our reflections....achingly poignant Tai.

this piece makes me think that our loneliness and longging to one's true love will always haunts us and lingers in our hearts and mind making our night the darkest and the day with blankness... it marks us if we don't let go or accept that fact that it was never meant to be... but none the less it's still a good faded memory to remember by... expressive as always my friend...

Thank you, stars!
There are those seasons that haunt us and taunt us shackling us so tight that we are unable to remove ourselves from the pits of desolation no matter how things seem to positively shine. We are blinded by our own misery and it takes someone courageous to break us out of our self-imposed prisons. The sunshine can be brought in by someone special but the courage can only come from ourselves to break free and embrace the sunshine.

Glad to see you're still up and about, Baby! Thank you for your thoughts.
I could see a riverside and grass, a bridge, dark gray clouds night and day as time passed, then an outstretched hand soaked in rain.
Lovely write about a light shining in the darkness of life.
Well played. ^^

You're welcome. ^^
This poem has a melancholy feel to it. Sad and reflecting life. Makes me gloomy.
