Best Empty Words Poems


Empty Words
Words at the edges
Of your Tongue
Are not merely Words.

A Thought trying
Desperately to be expressed.

If hope lie in words
Is Hopelessness the absence?
No sound, no chirp, no brighter day ahead.
Engulfed by Darkness and Dread

If words are crucial to meaning
Why are they misused?
When slang destroys the basis of...

Empty Words
Did you hope I wouldn't notice you gave me empty words to drink?
well my tongues tasted more lies 
than you would ever dare to think of.
You're not the only one with truth like poison in their veins.
whose ribs are shaped like cage 
holding tightly to...

Empty Words
Empty words, easily spoken,, but hard to swallow, you say them with little effort at all,
Empty words, empty meaning, but leave a hurtful mark,
Empty words, you say them with a smile, but the pain lingers for awhile.


Empty words, let me refresh your memory;
  Hi,...

Empty Words
no phrase that I've mentioned
till now
has moved a leaf
no imagination
has now ever lived
still
inside a dark room
i waste the time
so precious for
the words to rhyme
a dim light pressured
by a melting glue
that holds a life
as i empty the
imagination i lived
and words fill the empty
floor...

Empty Words
Consuming your words
trim the fat from my waistline
like anorexics

The empty calories
in your words turned my face to shame
like bulimics

Your words like junk food
made  me unhealthy
as the years pass by

My thin darkened skin
wrinkled having no luster
awaits death

Empty calories in your words
took a toll on my...

Empty Words
Words
Syllables
And sentiments
……. Because they come from golden wrapped parcels slipping from your tongue
They glimmer and twirl into a breathless breeze 
That sent a shiver down my spine
At first it was divine.
To hear your hopeful idealisms of a you and me together
A nonsensical romance
But time and...

Empty Words
Trust, that painful word without meaning,
Trust a Father, he hurts you, 
Trust a friend, they desert you.
Promise, that pointless word never kept,
Promise you'll always be there, you won't, 
Promise you'll not say a word, you will.
Believe, that greedy word that everyone wants, 
Believe in family,...

Empty Words, Soapy Sublimations
Uttering sugar-coated words is one dimension
Promising to love is one aspect, we must love
Walking on the head is crazy, we must embark on the mission
That proves our readiness and willingness to give  

Stacks of moons and stars we promise
In our haste to gain social...

Empty Words
I've listened to a lot of shallow words in my life
 Words of empty meanings
 Words that just Past time 
Words that spark emotions 
And words that mean nothing at all
 I've listened to a lot of talk in my life 
Talks about future events

Empty words

Have no 

Opposites

Or similarities

Paradoxically..

While words

Seem to  

Always suggest

Those antonyms 

And synonyms 

Dictionary bound

An empty word

Is dictionary-free......

Empty Words
Staring each other in the eye
We have come to point of saying goodbye
Words have lost their sting
The passion within them is gone
Within them no power remains
Everything you could say has been heard
Nothing you can do could change this fact
She doesn't want you back
Grey Goose won't...

In my defense, in other silent words
In my actions they are deemed in perils
Harness, perish the thoughts, bring it out bring it about
It’s hard, so very, very, hard to hear
Those empty words
Those words that are always, always heard
And I won’t play favorites or try to...

Eerini,  greets the young Greek of Sparta
Shalom, answers the old Jew from Haifa
Assalam Alaikum, says the Arab Muslim
Peace, the Christian replies back to him. 
Enough! so easily said but hardly meant....

Empty Words
Moving along in the heat
That has defined my life
I don’t believe I’m done
Cut my throat beside my empty words

I saw your face deep inside a thought
Reminds me of the battles we once fought
And the lesson that I had been taught
That I still try to pretend...
