Breathless Poems - Poems about Breathless

Stop! I can't breathe, you have me caught, Darth Vader's grasp, a battle I never sought. My lungs are squeezing, a vice made of despair, Suffocating whispers in a toxic air. Why should I suffer, why should I choke, Paying for the habits of your smoky cloak? Each breath a struggle, each moment a crime, I glimpse my tomb long before my...

Trapped in this dark place High walls give no escape Gasping for air I'm dying to catch my breath Fighting my way through this labyrinth And run to the arms of someone who cares My eyes blurry My legs numb My body's weak Losing my voice Can’t hardly speak Getting breathless Struggling to stay alive Crying out! For help So someone could hear me I think It's too late My life's...

I breathe in the music of twilight, Glistening, glowing, glimpsing the melodies Trying to sing along… Love notes washing over my spirit, Reflecting the gentle, Swathing my life in the miracles, wonders Wafting through the wind’s poetry, Painless moments, blessings Moving from the darkness, shadows To the light, where my heart glows, warmed By the passions stirred from colors embracing me… I breathe in the...

When I see him, I feel weightless, floating— His smile, his laughter, A wonder so bright, It brings endless joy to my heart. I’m left breathless Every time he’s near. I love all of him— Everything he offers, And even if he gave nothing, Still, I would love him the same. He holds the happiness I seek. He acts tough, But I know, Behind the walls he’s built, Something great...

No one lit a match. no lamp spilled, the air kept kindling its hot heart, it pulsed red all day The heat-heavy evening slumped toward a simmering earth, clouds began to roil, they swirled, they broiled in a death dance of fuming dragon tails, a wounded flickering that lashed out blindly. We laid down our souls, they were too hot to rescue. We were weary, too numbed to be either...

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you ~ Rumi Pouring forth from the light in her eyes, I see my heart spilling salty tears – they glisten, then subside. Where she’s been, my heart can only imagine. She’s still here, but her heart is fully confounded. Her dreams have become much more...

Beneath the deep silence of reason hides a breathless house, The remains of oblivion, where dreams die like shadows at evening. My soul weaves its infinity with countless shortcomings, Heavy shadows of darkness, left in thoughts not ennobled. The field of the mind unfolds in unseen places among the grass, And the old fence of stubbornness dresses in the foam...

Ensembles of little wonder, rattle the mind amiss, percussing each muse asunder, more a kick drum than a kiss. Inherent absurdities, on which I plaster a smile, mortified in memories, regressing all the while. Through breathless interlude, studied demeanours lie, I pray for beats of solitude… to distract my rhythmless eye. ...

She stares deeply into your soul as you slowly exhale. Calmly you feel her presences of life enter in as you inhale. Breath becomes a wonder as the cold illuminates its mist. You gasp inwardly as your heart is overwhelmed by a kiss. The cuddling warmth of her brings in tender thoughts. Her rhythmic breathing brings fast palpitations to your...
