RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “The Empty Ballad”

The Empty Ballad

Basking in the spotlight

An angel

Feeling so proud and omnipotent

Throngs surround

Shout for more

Critics rave

Only Time knows realistic nothingness

Words of a passing era

Face on an album cover

Actually, they hate as nothing like they ever will be

A star reality crushes their dreams

The lyrics their fantasy

Nothingness

But for one moment they believe
