Emptiness

a poem by Anantha

A song without soul
A race without a goal

A star without a twinkle
A worry without a wrinkle

A poem without words
A warrior without swords

A captain without a ship
A tormentor without a whip

A heart without a beat
A magician without a feat

A bird without wings
A country without kings

A clock without hands
A rockstar without bands

A boat without sails
An author without tales

A child without a toy
A smile without joy

A noose without a rope
A monk without hope
