Best Lungs Poems

She alone shadows my outside heart in glass,
Unknowns in saws and hands, a lifetime's goodbye 
That her memory's stay will still on us crash,
Where the breath in both our wombs, this hollow light —
A channel of trees all grown up should, must last —
And the...

Dive into poetry,
Smoking a lot less,
Less smoke,free breathing,
Less stress on my chest,

Longer life,my health,
I know its for the best,
Although stopping is so hard,
So hard to digest,

Ink versus Smoke,
An internal test,
Who will be victorious,
In my contest.........

You spoil the air by burning fossil fuel
By absorbing odors, trees help to level

You inhale fresh air
To this, trees provide a lions’ share

You exhale exhaust of the body
Which the trees take into custody

Trees inhale the pollutant
And exhale oxygen that you want

Every life lives with the...

Smoking is banned in public places
God designed us to breathe fresh air
Evolution says the strongest will win
The circle of life with forests, we share.

But we know better than omnipresent design
We can tax all those stepping out of line
The tax will put right all that is...

Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.

Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.

Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance...

Listen man, have you not heard the word?
Smoking is not good, its’ bad; its’ absurd.
Take note; smoking gives you lung cancer; 
Bronchitis, lung failure – makes you die faster.
Tobacco has poisonous gases and chemicals; 
Damages your teeth and throat – mess your vocals.  
Listen...

The crack of the bat
  The arc of the ball
It lands over the fence
  Gives the fans a thrill

Close play at the plate
  A headfirst slide
Clouds of dust raised
  He's safe; game's tied!

Cheer your lungs out
  Give an occasional boo
Beer...

I want you to touch me until
My ribs become piano keys and my 
Lungs are filled with sheet music I 
Want you to love the way that
Art fills my soul and blooms in
My head, I want you to hate
The way that I can't let go
I...

~ emptiness chokes lungs of night
coughing from rib caged fever, 
a tight-rope walker lies still...
amidst full moon’s howl


pain, wrapped in black holocaust
as her bridal dress withers,
staining a torn, cancelled love…

pre-nuptial songs crack ~

Crackling Breathing
Wheezing black lungs
Toxins are seething
Tar parked among
Stubbornly apparent
Selfishly coherent 
Still boldly smoking away

Stunningly idiotic
Inhalingly hypnotic
Ground Breaking Discoveries
Show less lung recoveries 
Generations of addiction
Some have permanent affliction
They need inhalers today

Grippingly enthralling
People continue falling
Drug dealers are victorious
Selling drugs unglorious
Getting away with lawlessness
Covering up their flawlessness
Some smokers...

As you can see I am very big,...
One of the biggest forests in the world.
I belong to a major league
Of chief forests of the veld.

I pack, daily, tons of oxygen
Which I release to the atmosphere.
That gas, along with nitrogen,
Needs replenishment as part of air.

In here...

On the tenth day of Christmas, 
my true love gave to me;
one dose of Covid, 
breathless and restless, 
tire and fatigue, 
loose bowels and sickness, 
sore throat and acne, 
phlegm, cough and sneezes, 
acute loss of smell, 
aches and pains, 
cycling high fever, 
and a...
