Nothingness

The pen writes, 
nothing
words on a page,
fuck...
fuck...
no matter how many times 
is there nothing left to say
except the agony

the art is not a purge
but just a reminder
every word
every stroke
every note
every anything
whispers of a moment 
that murdered your soul
and left a legacy
of insatiable demons

poison in your veins
smoke-clouds in your consciousness
for a fleeting moment 
of blissful forgetfulness
but memories refuse 
to die quietly

the art is not a purge
a pen writes-- nothing
nothing is final solace
nothing
nothing
someday
finally.

Deep within the philosophy of art..... lays the ideology of living...... the art is NOT a purge..... the art is a response .......ideology is another man's game....... living, is the winners circle...... choose a side...... or become a poet ~ and applaud & question from the cheap seats. ~ Alexander The Great

Thank you Tony. You've hit me with a quote this time. And in a way very apt for I'm questioning the point of it all. Honored.

My Dear Friend Lost,

In a moment of forgetfulness
I broke your loving heart
And your soul I slew for eternity
Ne'er again it's love impart

The nothings of the yesterdays
Plague all of my todays
I fade into the nothingness
Of my ever purple haze

Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Dear Lost,

There are a few artists on Cosmo, whose words take me to the stars, as my pen glides easily in my hand.  You are one of those amazing writers.

Peace and Love,
