Blank Again

Take my hand like
You take my thought
This empty screen of emotion
Needs no words, has no words
That I can say
In this timeless act
Of loving you
Of pretending
Sinking and melting and twisting
In the cavernous pools of my blank, gray mind

    "Needs no words, has no words"

    I absolutely love that line! This poem flows well and is really a great piece.

    I think you do well with short poems. This one's really great. It has lots of stark, beautiful emotion, but I feel it might need something. Maybe change the title?
    Loving the last two lines.

    Every word is so important and well chosen (?) I really like
    "This empty screen of emotion"
    It just sort of held me. Really, really nice job.

    Hmm....I really love your short poems, because especially from you, there's room to interpret it for yourself. I like this...The imagery of last line is very strong.

      Thanks for the read Hawk! I'm glad that you liked it. I don't usually write very many short poems but I have written a couple lately. Hmm, maybe my thoughts are getting shorter.
