Best Choke Down Poems


Promises
You said you'd be here, you said you'd stay,
But you went to heaven, and you went away.
You broke the promise you swore you'd keep,
That we'd die together in forevers sleep.

You didn't even say goodbye as you left me here.
I'm failing to choke down all these...

Day 1

I sit to write in peaceful solitude,
while words of tranquil elegance exude
visions of nature's beauty and soft light,
but it's not my muse which has taken flight. 
A bastard housefly sails a curvy path,
as irritation grows to rage and wrath.
Essentially, the reason is because
this little jerk emits...

Devil Requests No Permission
Step into the world of a crazy
Marshmallows aren't what they seem
 clouds in 3d float in the sky
giving the impression that evil  will happen.
Flat on ur back legs apart
Whose is it gonna be you or the dammed in the corner
Murmuring unholy is he
The Sinister...

Premium Member Our Aunt Jolene
Dad’s oldest sister, Aunt Jolene blew into town in the middle of the night.
She was armed with knowledge, ready to straighten us up, and make us all do right.
My children would do this and that, she’d shout from Daddy’s confiscated Lazy-Boy throne.
She was a self-proclaimed...

The Mighty Master Macho Man Tom...And the Lil' Mouse
I'm lean, I'm mean, I'm tough as nails
Nothing could frighten me
I'm ready to defend my turf
as you can plainly see
Ju-Jitsu man, master of knife and sword,
Can shoot an eye out at a mile...
No fool would be so foolish
as to dare challenge me...
You see before he'd...

If Only I Were a Flower
Torn from your life 
Like a weed from a garden, 
Not caring of my feelings 
Or even asking my pardon. 

Mindlessly dislodged 
And left to wither and die, 
Not even given the chance 
To tell you goodbye. 

My love no longer worthy, 
My caring no...

Change of Faith
Follow teh riretrucks down teh road.
Three miles is as far as you'll 
Have to go.
Nearly 100 volunteers at the 
Sene of the violent firestorm.
20 acrs and and 22 thougsand gallons
Of water used.

The heartbreak of that day
Tasted more bitter than ever known.
The slowly falling of the...

Swallow
I swallow hard the bitter tastes of your lips
I choke down your shards of hard lies, 
External stains
I wonder why I let you into my heart

There is a wall you build with…
Thick ramparts and razor wire
You crush my dreams n schemes

My life’s desires
I swallow my...

Hypersensitive Imbecile
Ranting and raving
I'm always wrong to string you along
show you
how right you really are
I should stop 
smell the daisies
nothings getting better
you will come to know
what grows between the rows
the life lessons we don't realise and learn

I am just a hypersensitive imbecile
wanting to vanish
wanting to dissapear
looking...

You'Ve Been Warned
Holy Crap
Another year slips away
Put on like 30 pounds
Pertty hard to take off
You see I like sea food I see it and eat it

Now with muse in hand
Even Jenny Crank has stepped up to the plate
With how to shed 14 inches off waistline in 1...

Flecks
Repressed, sombre colours
weep a blurry sadness.
Melancholic, metallic hues
bite a frustrated, untouched lip -
silently surrendering
crimson, golden spheres of promise…
They dissolve, shrinking to watery flakes,
melting to a near oblivion.

Lyrics pin hopes on a pointless map,
touching tender triggers
like hidden, yet potent handguns.
They fire at will, tearing happy slices,
dumping...

Little Pills
We are all too eager to place the little pills on our shaking tongues. 
Academic idiots force their good intentions, as they lay in bed with corrupt chemical pushers. 
Our TVs are inundated with ads for the latest, greatest snake oils that promise our meaningless...

Story of My Grandpa's Estate Part 2
I remember being in the sky with him
He was a pilot
He let me hold the stick
And now how awful he was betrayed while he was alive
And didn’t know any better
And the truth didn't come to the surface 
Until after my step grandma passed away
I remember...

Premium Member I Will Not Name the Restaurant
I will not name the restaurant,
Because it might have been a fluke
But after I ate their offering,
I came home and did a puke.

I pictured the cook, her hair askew,
Letting little drops of it land in the stew.
As she spewed forth a wretched pile
Of words known...

Desire
A word so confused so wicked yet benign 
With so many different meanings from pure love to crime 
Brimming to the top with godliness so divine 
Yet tearing up a body with one's nails just to dine 

Aggression and fear, and hatred so fine 
Ruthless...
