Airway Poems | Examples

To God Be the Glory

This candle burns slowly —and with the severity of courage
We pick our way with utter caution down the bombarded stairway
One thing is certain: we must flee from this scoffing pillage.
Aided by fluttering tallow, our vision is haunted by the airway.

Counseling

Began chatting, then as talking.  
Talking, to safe haven.  
Safe haven, to unfolding the dark tucked away.  
Unfolding, to sharing years of distant memories.  
Sharing, to unloading your internal warehouse.  
Unloading, to tears flowing.  
Tears flowing, words stinging.  
Words stinging, airway burning.  
Relief, haunting at bay for a passing moment.  
Healing slowly, piece by piece.  
Uncovering layer by layer.  
Tear by tear.  

One hour used to feel endless, now one hour feels like minutes.  

Like meeting a friend, you felt you always knew. All the masks fall, no more camouflage, no more sabotage.  

Just healing, growing and learning.

Winter Scene

3

The floating snow falls slow from the grey sky,
in airway frozen calm descends in chosen winter night,
on the slant roof top they silently drop and lie.

The trees of thicket in freeze reflect the pearly glow,
make the early morn scene of joyful serene sight
for the phase of upcoming days of Christmas show.

A scarf-tied snowman beside a red bird sees snow drift,
his spread out attire without doubt shines bright.
They wait for Santa to come straight to them with gift.

Silent John

no one was in the john that day
so I thought it’d be safe to stay
	I needed to sneeze
	with hands on my knees
blew the blockage from my…airway

Hosed

Positive Airway Pressure
For your sleeping pleasure
Use that humidifier
Or your throat will be on fire
Getting started with a C-PAP,
You’re going to need a nap

Liar, Liar

Lies drip off my lips like honey.
Whilst the truth struggles to clamber up my airway.
It often gets stuck somewhere between my throat and my mouth.
Never to see the light of day.
Falsehoods come much easier.
They behave as my constant companions.
Support for my throne of fabrication, 
Which teeters in the breeze.

Inhaling the beauty on a winter day,
drifting chimney smoke fills the airway.

A stirring of the breeze is barely enough,
to sound the chimes with each puff.

I’m searching the positives in my past life,
Seeking only good times, avoiding strife.

Remembering faces whose names I forget,
hopefully not caused by present mindset.

Coffee cup empty and newspaper in fold,
I’m left to wonder what current day holds.

Digesting the Past

Digesting the Past
David J Walker

Or
We can forget about it 
And start over
Telling everyone we have
Taken new names

Or
Change the number 
On our iPhones prone
To robocalls

Or
Take an alias on Twitter
Delete each other on tender
Another catfish on Snapchat

Or              
move to the mountains
through back trails that
no one knows
but everyone goes there
subconsciously

Or
	We can think about it
Forever
Slowly simmer on one bad
Summer day that 
Lead to a year of 
poor decision making

The past is past
You say though still unable to
Digest the mistakes that
	To this day still
Block your airway

Down the Up Airway

Since COVID's cooled us all down
                             ~ Why aren't hot-air balloon rides going up?

Pouring Down Snow

It's snowing outside today
and sticking in spots
it's as cold as an icicle in the airway
our heat is kicking on lots

I've been thinking concerning messages
that gets sent by our work
I believe a misunderstanding regarding images
that aren't what I meant to perk
if that is the case I apologize
I'm not an evil person for sure
and appreciate the comments you actualize
I'll aim to be clearer adjure
the way I present is meant not to conflict
with anyone who does read
I hope my voice is clear and without to afflict
for I'm trying to be a careful creed

It's snowing outside tonight
it'll be gone by tomorrow it seems
I wish you all a swell night
in whatever time zone sweet dreams

Airway To Heaven

Poetry…
my breath,
my life

Feelings 
 inhaled,
thoughts to delight

Almost Heaven

' The way to heaven is within. Shake
the wings of love--when love's wings have become
strong, there's no need to trouble about
a ladder' -- Rumi

~
Afloat on  borderless curves of an airway,
tinges of iridescent flame drape my  essence
in brush-stroked canvas from the  purplish
hint of mid-autumn... its velvet outline
swirling along petals  to  gently unfold
their varnished ribs imbuing fragrant whiffs,
a melodic tune for rare dances of love's act…

Two  four  eight clicks  spin  into kindness
as wings  circle ‘round my inner heaven 
studded with light, glittering    rivering
through the space of endless joy and warmth:
How my  core lingers in this dimension
a need to reside with a calm spirit, magnanimous—
 ‘till my baby wails somewhere known
rousing this consciousness  back to real-world;
that I…I, from this  portal of introspection
must leave a while to settle my earthly deeds,
bake bread for my old neighbor, knock on  
my heart-broken friend's door, and finally
embrace abiding repose, not now perhaps
but someway in His own blessed time.

Virulence of Corona

A sudden wildfire engulfs the world.
Ephemeral flames keep burning untamed.
Contagious fumes  mire a cerulean spring,
as flying creepy carriers spread a turmoil.
Virulent pathogens entering airway of lungs 
behind veil of common cold, stares Death.
Fragile sick vessels can't battle pneumonia, 
hijacking cells , sieges a dangerous Corona.
No armaments to fight an army miniscule,
helpless kingdoms, are we powerful humans? 
Visages hide in hysteria of harrowing masks,
panic begging kindness, from unseen parasites. 
An invisible Godzilla empties crowded streets,  
as scrubbing soaps wash handshake greets.  

Return us our old days of contagious laughter.
Twinkle in those smiles, once called infectious.
Sick of a fortress life , wearied of quarantine pain,
let's live hand to mouth,  oh rich! make poor again!
Coughing and Sneezing, spare a nightmare of Flu
Let us breathe in unison again... 
a fearless hug saying, "I love you".

DISARRAY

Did I ever say that inside my eye;
That I’m not feeling well no not at all;
Behind my mind I see swirling colors flowing
Floating projectiles of reds, oranges, and grays glowing;

Which in no way should be behave, streams of Disarray;
Just a cluttered mess jumble, muddled got me upset;
So untidy this rendition blurs confusion condition, hey!
I’m disordered throw into dishevel mess;;

Such a untidy yet colorful blow groceries;
Upchuck heave spewing tango with the toilet;
This I commit as I vomit so surreal;
Sickly am I for in the archway of my brain yuk;

My mind preys way spray airway convey;
hearsay downplay Floating projectiles of reds, oranges, and grays;
Did I ever say...
That inside my eye my head and mouth are…Disarray
