Best Pressuring Poems
Cenobite Muse
My muse keeps pestering like a cenobite,
chewing my brain like a hungry parasite.
Pressuring the ink to bleed like acid rain,
catharsis to release perpetual pain.
Hiding poems that live rent free like boarders,
I'm a shadow slave refusing it's orders.
This elusive euphoria sounds...

If I Had To Paint a Picture of Me Loving God What Would I SeeIf I had to paint a picture of me loving God what would I see?
would I see a portrait of a person who walks in truth and honesty?
In order to paint a picture of me loving God
I would have to access all the experiences...

Humane StruggleIn the Congolese Jungle three men are training for a mission.
They train to detain and disarm poachers.
They hope this will be the conclusion of their efforts.
They also train for a formidable alternative.
Poachers are opportunistic and have only self interest.
Poaching of an entire species will break...

Mirror, MirrorYou're too fat.
You're too skinny.
You're all the wrong curves.
You're all skin and bones.
The mirror on the wall reflects
Your self-conscious thoughts shoving
Photoshopped Beauty Queens down your throat,
And in your mind.
That's why you look at others
And discriminate and envy.
That's why you throw up in the...

TimeSometimes, the air is too muggy-
it's hard to catch your breath
you trip as you run up the stairs-
too fast
too much
too soon
it's life.
It doesn't slow down,
pause or give you room to breath
Man's construct of time is treacherous-
it eats away at the inevitable-
it rushes you...

ImageYou consider yourself average on a good day,
somewhat pretty on a whimsical day,
and downright atrocious on a bad day.
Your hair can’t decide to be straight or curly.
Your eyes are either luminous or dreary.
Your nose…too big.
Lips…to small.
Nothing looks right at all.
You're too fat.
You're too skinny.
You're all...

Remembering Neethu Panicker - Chapter 3Chapter 3
A real turning point came when her school year resumed
A new boy forced unwanted attention,
Declarations of love! He would follow her home,
With his friends also urging him on her,
Saying, “He’s a great guy you should give him a chance,”
But with recent loss she still...

-rain-Daily Poetry #27, February 24, 2017
Word: Rain
Rain falls and makes a steady beat on the ground,
While lightning makes a bright and flashy entrance,
With thunder following shortly after, asserting itself.
Everywhere on the Earth, a mirror can be found.
When I look down into the puddles, I see...

Hole To the Center of My WorldI’ve dug a hole all the way to my inner-self
Beyond the sedimentary sentiment
Past the fossils of my past life
And I’ve finally broke through the hard layer of emotions
I’m sure the treasure I’m seeking is hiding in my sub-terranian subconscious
I just need to know where to...

If I Was Your Lover, MissIf I was your lover, Miss
I would beam at the rise of my hand
To the soreness of nothing on you
And give you warmth in sun and moon
That from the aphelia be heard
To which winds and barks acquiesce
I would caress your rear and some
For many...

Coming In 9thI really worked so hard
pressuring my brain
trying to find the words
it would take
although in vein
But even at my best
I can only score a nine
But, those who came in tenth
make my placement look divine...

You Lied Under Your BreathWhen you said you didn’t love me anymore
I knew it wasn’t you speaking you were coerced
everyone was intervening like they had done long before
its frozen in my mind I still hear everyone on the phone
Pressuring you to say goodbye to me
you were...

-starsphere-Envelope Couplet
-starsphere-
I’ll walk forward once more, towards the starry night sky,
Dreamy eyes that have long vanished, letting them die.
The young thing I was calls to me,
“This isn’t what I was to be.”
Having opened my eyes, I follow what I love and say goodbye;
I’ll...
