Remember the house on Grayson Place

Not quite sure just where it’s gone

It appears, now, to be an empty space

Perhaps it was never there, all along

A pile of grassy dirt lays claim

To the lot, where it once stood

The neighborhood’s never been the same

Not quite sure it really should

Remind us, of the woman, who

We could hear, from dawn til dusk

Her howling shrill, would pierce right though

Ever long, and rather brusque

We knew better than to get too near

Strange things happened much too fast

How she filled us with this dreadful fear

A woman, who was marked, an outcast

He, in a Lost World

#poetry, alone, bewildered, dorindaduclos.com, empty, lonely, Night Owl Poetry, ok i wasn't hearing things..phew, poems, sadness

He sits around a table

Lost in his own little space

Fondling his cold coffee cup

In a lost, bewildered place

Talks to the empty chair

That’s seated across from him

No one answers back, you see

Or wonders where he’s been

It’s a solemn conversation

About how his life could be

Do not look at him with disdain

One day it could be you or me

 

Sadly, this is a true story. So many people, especially around the holidays, are simply looking for a smile, a hello, recognition that they exist. Smile at a stranger…you may be the only light in a very dark place.

Mind Legend

arrogance, dorindaduclos.com, empty, insanity, Mind Legends, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, scream, shout, vanity, voices

You speak aloud
And no one listens
The words topple around you

You speak again
And resolve to answer yourself
Asking why no one gives attention
Why does no one respond?

You shout
And the sound echoes, empty
Like footsteps on pavement
Falling wordlessly distant

You scream
One more time
And still no return
Only the repetition
Of your own voice
Answering back, hollow
Mocking your own mind
