Poem: Empty by Robin A. Burrows

I have decided to start posting some writing samples on this website from time to time. I wrote this poem as a response to the Writers Digest Wednesday poetry prompt to write an "empty" poem.

Empty

By Robin A. Burrows

Blind words

Crawl the path

To the stone arch

Uncrossed.

Crystal cylinders

Swirl inside a

Midnight box.

Tangled emotions

Vault;

An inky fountain

From notion

To crypt.

 

Empty the vessel.

Akashic

Will hold your grief.

Your longing.

Your unrequited hope.

Empty it all

Into the pandora.

Empty.

Clean.

Fresh.

Pure.

You are born anew.

Fill thy vessel

If thy will.

Fill the empty

Ccanvas

Of life.
