Best Smothered Poems

Bounded by fear - 
Do you still remember that?
When I would build my walls;
I would let no one in
I would look for ways to cut them off
Especially those who got too close 

Do you remember when I said?
It was for their own good 
In the...

Fingers with green tinge,
smell of earth,
reminds of a smothered leaf....

Black rose,
your soul aerates
an ebony, sweet calamus fragrance
Paved over by concrete of regret ...
unharvested time lost, never again to get
Delicate black rose,
a beautiful flower died in the field of Goshen
Smothered by careless neglect ...
We who have ailing loved ones,
feel we have time enough yet
to mend...

Smothered 
Breathing softly, Breathing deeply… 
Yearning for his body … his Captivating touch … 
Submerging souls … causing rhythmic melting … 
released by his sweetness… 
Smothered in his chocolate skin...

Blackened killing little by little silently
Fighting sickness violently
Aching endlessly throughout your entire being 
Sucking it down so family goes unseeing
Battling silently while frightened of the end
Wanting only happiness while there's still time to spend
Keeping hope alive for your children's sake
The sadness you catch in thier...

cement is always 
same,
producing the same 
answer,

executing the habitual
formula

~~

cement is
everywhere. 
cement produces the 
same minions. 

what lays on the cynical surface 
is constant. 
cars drive,
buildings ascend, 
buildings demolished 

~~
 
you are born 
to look down,


look down,
look straight,

but never look 


up.

Look down, as 
your man made...

Smothered By Love, Imprisoned By Decree

Forever thus bound by love's deepest vow
living life, well wrapped in soft velvet chains.
Time may yet demand, freedom's walk but how
when washed night and day, by love's falling rain?

Can one unshackle, when chains are skin deep
or rip and tear away...

Photos on the locker top
showed to whom Mark belonged
his parents, his sister.
A well worked drawing above the bed
a tree beside a stony path:
“Is that by you?”
It was dated long ago.
“Have you more?”
A folio of various scenes
showed a careful steady hand
for detail 
talent for design.
Yet his...

According to his scientists’ age and serious calibration
This half-ass earth life is merely a fleshly demonstration
To test each and every crooked politician and nation
To see where they like their minions in mass to vacation.

According to the king’s ambassador’s correction
We are going in a complete and...

A SOUL SMOTHRED IN SYMPATHY 

I need you like a rose needs rain
I need you like I need life sustaining air
I need you for my garden is now in pain
My garden and I, one mournful pair

Drip drip 
Drip on lips that lie
Drip drip
Drip from eyes...

bounty braces grumbled
humming hoisted hurdle
sassy syllables strained
cremating crumbling crane
rusty rebirth bewitched
rumbling reincarnation enriched

callous colour bruised
blueish orange blooms
dark dual drool

mystic moaning etched'n
punctured pruning crest
smiting succulent breast

voluptuous ordeals vying
taunt smothered smooches.

I can't breathe because
of the air quality
a world filled with
all kinds of pollution
I can't breathe
when I'm smothered
by my love ones or
lover wanting to know
my every move...
