Compressions Poems


Premium MemberI'm Sorry You're Missing

—all this.
You'd love it,
but you lost
personality privileges
when you bargained against
the middle of my chest,
never starting
compressions
even though it was you
who shocked me into 
an arrest. 

I'm still 
trying 
to break free of—

Reapers Visit

Reapers visit

Warm salty tears dripping down my reddened cheeks.
Sadness and depression fill my barely beating heart, thudding so slowly I can't feel my own pulse.

Told I now Repulse, causes me to convulse tremoring violently, retch so much nothing but anger and disillusion come out, just a disgrace.

An entire life I have had happiness love and joy till my love my life twinflame died holding in bed sometime during the night.
Chest compressions only caused black blood to splatter my face. 

The cold stiffness that once was warm and soft his red skin now blue and lifeless this more than a crisis. Our love always limitless that once armored us licit love replaced with bitterness and bereavement.
Bestfriend died.
Suddenly taken away
Forever

Stay With Me

Stay with me!
Don't let go
I won't let you go
Breathe!
Please! !
     I can feel a pulse
     It's faint 
Continue compressions!! 1000,2000
Ambu bag - resuscitate
Push meds
Still no pulse
Continue! ! Repeat!
Don't change color on me
I value you, no blue
You have no clue
I can't watch this, I can't see you like this
Now I have to make that decision?!
Flat line

Basic Life Support

Basic life support consists
	A number of life-saving techniques.
	Patients with cardiac arrests,
	Improves the survival rates.
	As you will learn head-tilt,
	Chin-lift and jaw thrust maneuvers;
	Circulation, airway and breathing
	Are very important things as well.

	In case patient is unconscious,
	Check his level of consciousness.
	If there is no pulsation,
	Start chest compressions.
	Every minute is important.
	So never stop,
	Compressing the chest
	Until blood reaches the brain
	and has enough oxygen.

	When pulses are back,
	Circulation is alright.
	Give two rescue breaths at first.
	Then see the rise and fall
	On patient's chest.
	Just make sure,
	Pulses are there.

	When patient is awake
	As he regains consciousness,
	Explain what happened.
	Monitor vital signs
	Every five minutes.

	When he can tolerate
	As his vital signs are stable,
	Advise doctor's consultation.

Where Streams Converge...

Free from demanding compressions
fleeting still,is the sliver of a moment
which brings together impulse imparted
where the absolute, and the eternal meet,
as tears of imperfection cry in streams
in the image of our most perfect creator,
why?...why to be in such favor,yet,made to suffer so?

The crucible of self,
can be a daunting place
but doubt not the fiery purpose,
as impure thoughts continue as a contagion
our fleeting moments become our eternal now...
where melancholy rides the back of depression,
spurred on by an ineffective spleen
as we traverse toward the spring of purifying waters...

Then the dawning shall brighten our shining purpose,
when heaven on earth shalt not be just a utopian dream
but,a new stream of enlightenment...

Help Me..

I haven't eaten in days,
I sit with a pen, nothing comes..so i quit,
When i see the light my eyes are closed to block the sun rays.
I'm putting away the weapon i so long ago had to equip.

Chest compressions cant bring my heart back to life,
Not even with electrical currents running through my chest,
Even in sleep i worry, dreams leave me puzzled in the night.
As the sun seems to go down visa-versa does my stress.

This is a call to all who are real,
Because my lungs have stopped working and i exhaled 3 years ago,
This is a call to all those who still.. feel.
Because I lack all the emotions you often show.

Help me..

No More

I swallow the sword of silence
reading contours of curvaceous blithe
trying to understand words like life
forsaken like a child on Christmas morn
fingertips of time tiptoeing down my back
as I stare into muted mirrors of bitter black
She lies in weightless wait
snuggled with virtue of viscid fate
sterile surroundings of unmitigated plight
still believing in truth and eternal love
oblivious to tines of tears above
piercing my heavy heart
Her faith never sleeps
when I sometimes forget to breathe
pounding footsteps terrorizing me
praying in shadows trying to collect my fears
knowing that tomorrow grows ever near
like the hand she once gave me
I do not believe in choice
sacrificing hope for the pain of remorse
doctors whispering what cannot be sung
compressions of vows in lifeless lungs
As I kiss lips that smiled but days before
Knowing I can never say…no more
