Best Enclosed Space Poems

I been seeing my life through a cloudy veil.
Although it was my fault, my own sight I did curtail.
I believed in going with the flow, how could I fail?
Until my soul I taxed with a enormous bill of sale.

Hesitation became a crutch that I demurely...

A poet's reading another poet is like 
a smoking room at the airport: 
an enclosed space, 
happy non-smokers behind glass walls, 
the poet's thoughts, 
as strong as Cuban cigars, 
coming through 
bluish twists of the another poet's fantasy, 
as sweet as Virginia*,
a boarding announcement, ...

Now Dragons brothers, Joey and Casey had jobs they went to…
        And Dragon suddenly had nothing, nothing, simply nothing to do.
So I took him to McDonalds… That most wonderfully, wonderful place!

There "he" stood in front of me, the deep forest behind him framing
His ancient face like an emerald halo, the growing dark of dusk getting
Deeper by the moment. He was no more than two-and-a-half feet tall,
Though just as wide as he was vertical, clothed in...

O mother, take me there, where I find the gratifying grace,
Take me there, where I dwell in bliss,
Take me there, where I ramble in rapturous joy,
Take me to that miraculous planet and nurture me,
O mother, take me there, where I find the tantalizing nothingness,
Take me...

I wonder how I’d feel  from day to day
If I knew not prime numbers and their play
If I’d never heard of “e”  and “pi”
And still believed  that God lived in the sky

Even though I’ve not  done maths for years
I fall into...

Step right up, buy your ticket, wait in anticipation to see the show, the one beneath the tent that holds all the dreams I never wanted to be exposed
But now it’s time, I must share all that I have been through, so I hope that...

For precision of movement
Taking aim on dead air
Is like magic
Eye, to hand, to target

But this dead air
Is stagnant
No movement 
Due to it's presence

I'm not hovering
Waiting for my next breath
It's shallow
And my capacity is low

I'm afraid to fill my lungs
In such an enclosed space
And I can't...

The chalk returns to dust
Disappearing the dread of dreamless nights

Just to turn into the contents of a cannon ball
Where inner turmoil is shot into the blue

Blurred electrical pulses - firing in enclosed space
Catching fire the curtain lace

Looking out from behind the pane
Cold glass separating all...

I'm the roving reporter on the move again
(despite having a cold I had to take the children to gymnastics and because I'm disorganised I'm crossing several lanes of traffic on foot whilst they are in there to get money out for a birthday card)
I'm a...

Oh, Hermes, during historical eras of reign,
Greek literature thrived—minds free of strain.
Let's drift for a jaunt to...

Craving air and freedom
Losing my mind in the enclosed space
Allowing darkness to numb away the anxiety
Undeniable sadness and fear
Slowly seeping into my mind
Tear ducts filling up
Entrenched by my own stupidity
Rethinking my choice of path
Praying to be heard and saved 
Having to give up the darkness...

Many things are such, side by side you could say
Two things in one space at the same time 
Aiming for the same end, perhaps couples are so
One with the other, as one to face the world
Two views, abilities a compliment of pair
When they explained it...
