Best Paralyse Poems
I’m a limited edition, when all is said and done
Nothing special, only unique in a maze of humdrum
Kill spiders for a pastime, coz I hate their beady eyes
Watching me try to sleep, as they paralyse butterflies
I’m a limited edition, pulling cobwebs from beams
In great physical shape, yet mentally challenged it seems
Guilty of every known sin, with mitigation of course
They are all in my head, except when I use fatal force
I’m a limited edition, preprogrammed to survive
From one day to another, til next time I’m not revived
Still it’s great to be alive, from a dead man’s point of view
I certainly possess one, in a preserve this mind grew
I’m a limited edition, my pets couldn’t care less
Well possibly they do, but look up to me nonetheless
Take me as you find me on any given occasion
Whisper sweet nothings, I’m a sucker to soft persuasion
I’m a limited edition, light Cola makes me cringe
And hate drinking alcohol, unless going on a binge
Alas I cannot find god, he’s hidden away in reams
Leaving himself subjective, to idealistic extremes
I’m a limited edition, playing Russian roulette
Will even up the ante, fill the chamber, rig the bet
It’s a no brainer, literally speaking anyway
With just sawdust to lose, all so easy to blow away

in the shadow of yesteryear-
distortions paralyse to-day's dream
whispered rumours of true things-
drown in the shallows of egos' hubbub
and hidden,almost invisible-
wait prurience,cloaked in desire

death cannot endure eternity ~ if it could we’d never be born
(quote by poet)
Find rhapsody, great rhapsody, fomenting on high seas
Come lift up waves of despondency, I’m flailing so deep
Bamboozle revenant senses, restore my latent zeal
Overwhelm one million fold, melancholy drowning me
Find ecstasy, give ecstasy, paralyse me with bliss
I’m hooked on saline solution, and compelled to resist
Rejuvenate exuberance, nullify emptiness
I want to be possessed again, in a wild wanton kiss
Find buoyancy, come buoyancy, aerate this lowly soul
Raise me up to the firmament, let heaven take control
I’ll face down blackest ether, see beyond its parasol
Never again to sit stagnant, just to bow shall I stall
Find gravity, sheer gravity, falls short on temple steps
Pressurising in nature, stopped dead in a gods codex
Free now to bathe in mercy, overcome but not by depth
Expanding on forever, where beginnings intersect

Rhyme
i dip my pen into the ocean of helpless
fluids searching for hopeful cravings
and my blood has rippled in a thousand torrents of expectations...
but do you know that my lungs has torn,shattered and broken on pieced streets and pierced boulevards?
know that i need need not be merged together for i am a victim,curdled on the back of expectations...
you are the lost garment i search for in the holes of a torn garment, do you know how your thoughts reverberates in the hall of my mind ?
ireti,what is the spirit that dwells in you?
tell me your backbone and its custodian..
you break the rocking of my bone and paralyse the swiftness it curdles and wait..you turn my head down on the tongues of hard rocks...
ireti..i am broken
see me emerse my thoughts in the flowing waters of wisdom our fathers hold
and i hold myself with twines of hope weaved by tender tailors with soft hands behind the hopeless garments of expectations...
i am broken...not beyond repair
for i am a victim curdled on the backs of expectations

Varied species of the kingdom
Across our earthly home
From sponges to the octopus
Without a backbone
Laying small eggs
Or a centimetre long
Astounding invertebrates
There outer skin is strong
Upon an organism
There they choose to lay
Eggs for a food source
Paralyse their prey
As the insect grows
So rapidly within
A time of which to moult
Remove their outer skin
The expanding colony
Survival of the team
Young bees evolving
From a single queen
Shed their exoskeleton
Insect crawling out
Expansion of their wings
Body drying out
Beginning as larvae
From the eggs they hatch
Dramatic transformation
Metamorphosis match

Rays of sunshine of a thousand suns fill up my heart and lungs
Polaroids arent the only things i have lost
Wars arent the only things i have won
filters on my tongue and screen blur the scene and block the scream
I raise bars and delinquents
Novas shine for my rejects
They're televising our revolution while shedding our blood
Drapes cover my mouth and eyes
They despise , analyse and paralyse
But never dare to relinquish my shrine
The shrine in the depth of my mind is your home
Overseas it's just your confine
Poignance is in resonance but it pauses just for you
your hopes freefalling with aches and i deem solace yet ask
Do you ever count the waves that crash down to build you?

I see eyes that look wild like a hawk
The eyes that tell stories of precious love
Eyes that sees wonderful things
These eyes that will look upon souls
Sleeping on dust with bright eyes craving for success
Shocked and overwhelm by this splendid view
My heart beats vigorously with enthusiasm
The beats that paralyse nerves with happiness
I kick all the doubt to my thoughts
Thoughts that prey on the precious thoughts
To all my surprises a smile let go of joy
I surpass the deepest fears and insecure
Caught by soft hands that nudge my back
Back to reality I open my mind to you
Revealing all that I have kept from many
But your heat blaze like wild fires to this heart
The heat that burns furiously in my lonely heart
But I see you and through you I trust
Overshadowed by your presence my heart fall in love.

Hoop-la! Hoop-la! Polio is back in town.
And it is sick of being silent
With all the other viruses around.
It wants some humans to infect
To gain back some respect.
Covid and monkeypox, you better watch out
Ebola, Marburg, Tuberculosis, and AIDS too.
Polio is nothing to scoff about
It will paralyse little children
and put you in an iron lung den
What has become of this world that has been?
Oh don't worry Ms Daisy
They will find a new mRNA vaccine
And inject everyone like crazy
While the people are still covid hazy
The media will pump the narrative
The vaccines are safe and effective
They will sell it so creatively
With lies and propaganda
If you don't agree it will be slander
The doctors with happily oblige
Stick out your arm and stick in the jab
and pretend nobody has died
They'll collect their money
It will all look nice and sunny
Hoop la! Hoop la! The vaccine don't work
Oh shut them up, shut them up
They are conspiracy and flat-earth jerks
We're thinning out the population
We will soon have a better nation
And while we are at it
Let's do another Great Reset
and make everyone a digit
The WEF aristocrats know what they are doing
This is something they have had brewing.

Rhyme
He would beat her up for the last time
It wouldn’t be hard to provoke him
The usual wrong word did it most days
Why do you make me do this
What is wrong with you
Forgive me
She would enjoy this one
The very last one
Bought you flowers
You know I love you
Do you
What the hell does that mean
What the hell
The drug would temporarily paralyse him
Enough time for her needs
He punched with his right fist
She cut off his arm
The odd kick with his right
She cut off his leg
He came round screaming
How you doing babe
You in pain
Don’t worry, it’ll pass
Ambulance, get me an ambulance
Say the word
Please, please
No, not that word
The other word, I love you, that one
I love you, ambulance, please, please
Babe, why did you make me do this, forgive me
Just going to take the tourniquets off
I’ll put them up here
If you get them, be quick
Remember to release them every fifteen minutes
Oh, one more thing
Love you babe.

Within the shadow of a broken heart
love trembles in the corner
shattered and alone
heart drumbeats sad rhythm
tears flow over aching waterfalls
despairs solemn words
dominate me
paralyse me
The seed of hope
intrinsic force, a miracle
love contemplates
life’s possibilities
thoughts drift along, tumbleweeds
blown by winds of change
to bloom in the minds meadow
there beats a courageous heart

Time and time again I offer myself, I offer my body, my mind and my universe to you and you cowardly refused. You want me, or at least you think you want me. Your me
Is not what I truly am. You want a quiet woman that just adds to your accent like a tie to a suit or a sock to a shoe. You claim you want a smart and successful woman but you can't even handle me in my trying stage, how on earth will you handle me at my best. I'm lost in your smile, your gaze paralyse my thoughts. When I look at you, I see nothing but perfection in a room full of mistakes, fears and self hate. Say my name, what does it remind you of, what comes to mind. I still crave the me you want.

Mountains of prestige
underneath them snowy trees,
narrow creek free-flowing icy water.
Skiers perfect netting with a chilling thermosetting,
peeping from a group of giant boulders.
Freezing, wheezing, sneezing,
placed it in safe keeping-
scene that would be best in the midsummer.
Taking one last peek for a painting I am weak
though second glance paralyse then shudder.

As I shut my eyes I am gone,
The parts of me that are known to the world fade away into the abyss.
As I shut my eyes they appear,
The parts of me that are caged, like hungry, wild, rabid animals.
When I shut my eyes, I am scared,
They show me shadows of my past that should be long dead, I am filled with terror.
When I shut my eyes, they paralyse me,
My body is not my own, I scream and shout , LET ME OUT, but my body is still and peaceful.
As I open my eyes, I am free,
My lungs expand and I can breath, I have survived.
As I open my eyes, they are gone,
Their cages shut and barred, I smile, taking solace in this calm after the nightly storm.

I want to be away from all this drama
I don't need my dad nor my mama
With every passing moment I feel a punch in my gut,
I can feel the lump developing in my throat.
I don't need this life,
I no longer want to strive,
I just want to be away.
Far away from this worldly theatre,
I no longer want to be an audience or a spectator.
This day reminds me why I want what I want.
I just want myself and a bookshelf.
I don't need people.
I need peace.
I don't like fights and quarrel
I just want to be a happy squirrel living her life in the jungle.
My heart is hurt.
My emotions are shut.
I just want to fly away and never come back,
I just want to leave this nest ,
that moment of solace will be the best.
I will fly away to a lonely destination where there will be no one to bother me,
I will finally be free.
Love is a poison we all drink willingly and paralyse ourselves with vulnerability .
With the devasting pain that accompanies love we all cry in unison.

A person was impressed,
Who praised my nature,
Developed her image,
Expressed my features,
And felt ‘I am for him’.
She thought about her matching,
Waited for opportunity,
Prepared for presentation,
Shooted her expectations,
Desires made me a dream.
A person was impressed,
Who observed my nature,
Analysed her figures,
Was envy about my personality,
And felt ‘why is he so smart’?
Her hatred maturity,
Developed her conscious,
To paralyse my nature,
Her nature imagined fear,
And frightened me in a dream.
