Echoes of Absence: Poetry of Longing

Exploring the Emptiness of Separation

Poem

When you're not here, it feels

Like a desolate wilderness of existence,

Like the colors of dreams have faded,

Like death is weaving through words,

Like the threads of breath are scattered.

When you're not here, it feels

Like there's no fragrance in flowers,

Like the heart of the city is barren,

Like there's nothing in the streets,

Like enmity arises from joy,

Like there's no familiarity with emotions.

When you're not here, it feels

Like a distance spanning a lifetime,

Where nothing makes sense,

Like I'm silently a tree of desires,

Like my breaths stutter and halt,

Like prayers wander nameless,

Like lifetimes pass in moments.

When you're not here, it feels

Like being stranded on an island of fear,

Where a voice hides after calling out,

Like laughter suddenly gives way

To tears of sorrow,

When you're not here, it feels...
