Best Shortness Of Breath Poems

Too much to know, I just don't know it
As I fumble around, just a humble poet 
Frustrated as I watch unfurl a show
I just don't know it, too much to know

Answers are near, in the palm of my hand
It's nobody's fault that I can't understand...

A listing of the fires 
and all the survivors 
will be provided

Names of the dead 
are written on broken cobblestones 
at the bottom of the river

The sheet music 
is in the morgue - reconstruction 
of the falafel carts will commence at dawn

The Liability Brigade 
will...

A genuine smile joyfully gives to a day
Much more value than one really knows
It's more than the gold light of the sun
More soothing than the moons soft glow

It reaches down deep within one's soul
Making such inspired feelings to arise
It makes a heart's flame leap forward
From...

"Descendent of Eve"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

As she walked through the door, I recall a shortness of breath
My heartbeat fluttered, my palms moistened, my mind drew a blank, but no pain was felt
My mouth became dry, and my eyes and ears became lost in her...

Passionate Love
There's a heat burning intense inside;
inside my soul,
and inside my groin.
Not the heat of temperature but of lust and desire
causing a shortness of breath and judgement;
scorching all logic.

The sweat wet and shining that drips
from your brow,
and from your body;
is fanning the flames causing my...

In shortness of breath 
he heaves thundering hooves
over gravel road and through thorny brush
In terrors madness he dashed
as elves lie in still and
fae giggled from imaginary hideouts
down into the meadow he dashed,
the gripping thud of hooves 
followed with the crackling of branches
when he stopped:
a quickened...

OLD AGE


Do you ever wonder where the years have all gone?
The roller coaster ends and you hope to hop back on
We are older now and that thrill ride has passed us by
Should we cling to our memories or give it one more try?

Do we accept...

An ordinary Australian from an ordinary country place
Who rallied to the flag's call with god's good grace
He was one of the 33rd Battalion "New England's Own"
Into this swirling maelstrom they were duly thrown
The Great War was raging and to the Western Front he went
A lottery...

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” 

The sun Plagued by darkness.
I walk alone a shadowless figure with no face or heart beat.
Full with an emptiness void that grows and sucks all joy and happiness from my soul.
shortness of breath,...

A sudden shortness of breath,
The clenching of the chest. 
You hear the news fail like you're deaf,
The first thing you want to do is confess. 

A young man's life cut short,
In a foreign country away from family. 
You scream that he needed more,
But atleast his...

It's Not Easy When The Road Is Your Driver 

To want you to hold you to need you
 We look for love in all the wrong places
 Certain vestibules will leave a trace in
 A challenge to be free is a question of time
 With...

At three years old; 
we freely hid from tree to tree, 
and sneaked through under table to 
table,
with snow smiles, filled with smells of 
present, and a rainbow heart of 
innocence, blinded with mountains of 
curiosity and fountains of supreme 
surprises. 

Clowning and crowning was...

Dying Is Horrifying

Has been sad to me;
Dying is horrifying;
Will never forget.

My wife Jill is in intensive care right now
under sedation. Sunday morning she had
shortness of breath. An aide car came out 
and gave her oxygen and she started to
get better. They said to take her...

Hot headed asses
Filled with commie bastards
Social disorder in the brain insane with pain
As if socialized wandering wizards chicken gizzards
My breaking point to no return hero burn
In sweat caged fury everything scarey
Shaded pine in derision chasing after delusion

Fought back the pain with a smile on the...
