Plumes its sticky residue
Beneath...

Most of it my own...

Premium Member Suffocating a Gasp For Breath
My feet are stuck in the mire 
I struggle but cannot free myself
As the mud gets higher and higher.

And the more I struggle and fight
The deeper I go
Down into the murky suffocating
Depths below.

The mud rises now rises up to my waist
I panic arms aloft and...

Suffocating Dust
Sombre and silent,
nothing bares a shadow
nor a trace of light.
Slow and lifeless,
every face is a blank
surface with no emotion
reflected upon it.
Dim and eroded,
every hand beholds dust
of every spirit’s feelings
and freedom; dust that is
suffocating and as venomous
as a snake’s bite.
Souls drown within the dust
but the memory...

Suffocating Dreams
Thoughts drift into the deep
Penetrating fears, aspirations,
And suffocating emotions 
In my dreams

As light turns into darkness 
Loud morphs into silence 
My mind drifts 
I paint numerous faces 
That may exist in other places

The watery murkiness that exists 
In sublevels of unconscious interpretation
Past failures and inhibitions...

Suffocating Thoughts
The lack of breath
Struggling
The touch of fingers
Choking

My bones are cold
Heart breaking

Where do we find the strength
To be strong
And to fight

Scars
Traumas
Fears
Living but not alive

How do we live
To ensure making the best of life?...

Suffocating 10-21-2009
Tortured by the vivid dreams,
that haunt me while I sleep.
The many scars that define my life,
this pain I feel runs deep.

Sheltered by the fear of it all,
I'm loosing all control.
Locked away inside myself, 
swallowed as a whole.

The walls are closing in on me,
I'm screaming I...

Suffocating
  My mind feels so confused by all these thoughts needing  all of them to end 
I never thought I could get this far 
But even my own life didn't throw me a curve ball
At this moment I need to get up and...

Suffocating
The wall of distress is 
where my boundaries 
stop to absorb my call.

I am out of breath, by 
suffocating, I am 
breathing.

I want to turn, right.

I left to leave.

Too late.

That is where I flame 
and where my fires 
burn.

This all explodes for no 
apparent reason.

Or...

Premium Member Suffocating
I turned slowly to capture a glimpse of you
but  you disappeared and started  to fade 
Where are you?
My betrothed 
My one and only
I long for your touch
I am suffocating without you 
I can't breathe...no air...no air
My lungs are collapsing
Only you can save me...

Suffocating Love
I'll always remember the dancing of our tongues,
For me it showed your love easing stress and bringing air into my lungs,
Why all of a sudden did you have to cause my heart to strain,
Finding out it was with me you would no longer remain,
The tears...

Premium Member Under the suffocating veil of dusk, where shadows whisper forgotten tales to the wind
Under the suffocating veil of dusk, where shadows whisper forgotten tales to the wind,
I wander the labyrinth of thoughts, a traveler in the silent chaos of my mind.
Romania stands immune to all my calls, a land where the poet’s voice is an echo lost in...

Suffocating Drama
Suffocating Drama
Like a drug
Shaking from withdrawal
Addicted to the drama you create around you
but, this performance must come to an end
I am bored with the same old player
Close the curtain
Hide like the coward that you are
Wallow in your darkened abyss alone
Instead of being a righteous warrior...

The Song of Strom
There's this little fragile
Betwixt the escort.
Trying to understand
Their psyche,
Their interest.
Are they really the armours
Or the aviary?
And will the dust devil arrive,
Rising from our own silhouette,
Compressing the cage of ribs
With the bludgeon?
Illusion of something erroneous,
Or may be some nave.
Perfect guard,
Guarding the heart,
The cascade of truth
For the...
