Carbon Monoxide -Co- Week 3: Talkin' 'Bout My 'Noxide
The steady pull
of temptation--
a tease on
my resolution.

When I can sleep, 
I take what dreams 
afford me.
In these dreams,
my 'noxide comes
to ward me.

Her smoke is an invitation.
my conscience
falls for
the con science
of my imagination.
I give in
and reality spins.

Between the sleeps, 
I lie in sanity. 
I wonder:
Did I...

Carbon Monoxide (Co) Week 1: O.D.A.A.T.
Chain smoke until
I'm in care of the CO.
There's one left, still.
I smoke it really slow.
"It's the end," I anticipate
As the last inch evaporates.

I can't get
Over it;
It's over before 
I know it.
Butt, I can't quit.
I'm possessed with this 
Obsession; I'm addicted.

My lungs have oxygen,
Yet I'm suffocating...

Carbon Monoxide (Co) Week 2: Carbon Cabrona
Smokeless inhales hurt.
I cough tar on my shirt.
As my black lungs breathe,
Shrilling exhales wheeze.

Cabrona
Falls me
Down to
My knees.

The nicotine cracks
My will.
My composure
Spills.

I want 
This.
I must 
Have this.

I sink
Into
The brink
Of madness....

Carbon Copy
Am I the one you dream of, 
Am I the one you prayed silently for with closed eyes at your bed side,
Am I the one you magnificently created of her figment,  
Deeply rooted and knotted in that dark part of your past.
Do you think...

Premium Member The Carbon Children
 Melt me into amethyst; 
where deep purple skies fade to rose quartz, 
as the sun begins his labors.

They are the earth womb; 
air, fire and water; as am I; 
energy in a tiny package; 
wrapped by Nature’s hand.

Carbon crystals meld within the womb; 
sister...

He said I was oxygen 
That he couldn’t live without
He said I was the ideal
That he wanted for a wife

He flattered and he praised me
Made me feel like a princess
No one else came even close
His desires he’d thus confess 

He’d waited for me for years
Desperate...

Footprints In Carbon
The village was nestled on the coast by itself, as if God had put it there all alone, on a shelf.

The residents were isolated just like the town, and universally uninformed from the top on down.

It was no longer a lavish seaside resort, gone were...

Carbon Foot Print
im living in a world where art is basically plasma

where imagery,and double entandres bring asthma

my vision's metaphorical,i swim through stanzas

and to have lack of substance is to breathe  in cancer.

its seems now-days dropping knowledge is a crime-

in a literate way,i litter it

but who reads...

An odorless/colorless gas highly toxic is the report
It’s Carbon Monoxide by name but I’ll call it CM for short.

It’s known as The Silent Killer and to avoid being hurt
You need to be real careful and install a CM Alert.

What causes this dangerous gas is a...

The Carbon Sword
Behold me as I wield the carbon sword,
cleaving reality as if a fraying cord.
In noble valor I make my timeless stand,
against the demons spawned by my own hand....

We R Elements of Carbon
circular bands of pathetic
misfortunes broken 
by the empowering
stretch of mighty
hands
clandestine candles of hope
reverse into an open
nest of trust
we are elements of carbon
hydrogen and sulphur......

Germinating Carbon-Based Strife
I

the yellow cries of creation burn in the subjective sun
staring rays of perdition’s psalm acidic as sinful balm
sear the fear of tomorrow’s bones into fleshly operas
observing with scientific malice the malady of romance

…the ghosts dance on quantum strings
…stars fall into amnesia vast as innocence

II

the roaring...

Interesting Is a Carbon Wheel
An elephant can slide quite easily into an egg box but a piccolo finds it very difficult to get in and out of bed. Missionary meals making marvellous moonbeams. And the little turtle sunbathes near the fires. At radiating eclipses beans can jump with noodles....
