Consumed Poems

Consumed By Misery

Last night was no different 
I cried myself to sleep again 
I haven't fallen asleep peacefully 
Since cannot remember when

My broken heart it pains me
And I can't keep the tears away 
Maybe my heart will heal soon
But today will not be that day

I'm empty without your love
Im left feeling barren inside 
It's not just a

CONSUMED BY FIRE 2024

The day you left, a shadow fell,
No word, no truth, just prison's hell.
She claimed your life, a cruel decree,
"Power of attorney," for all to see.

While slumber held, she crept unseen,
Your room a tomb, a plundered scene.
A stolen key, a silent thief,
My hidden goods, a bitter grief.

"Thief!" you cried, a twisted blame,
As she, the vulture, fueled

Consumed

The floor is consuming me conspicuously,
While I'm staring at the ceiling ridiculously.
I can't move, no matter how hard I try,
Paralyzed, I feel; I can't deny.

I'm screaming and gasping and dying and crying,
Panting and trying. Yes, trying.
I try, I do, trust me, I'm trying.
I'm alive, but I'm dead.
Maybe it's all in my head.
It's contagious, like lead.

There's

This World That Takes

This World That Takes

I gave too much.
A chalice filled to the brim,
pouring over,
love spilling, although unasked for,
but the world took it anyway.

It takes.
All it does is take.
It absorbs every light, every warmth,
leaving none to spare, none to return.

People—so consumed by their mirrors,
worshipping their own reflections.
Social media becomes their altar,
their source of love, their sense of

Consumed

Thinking how all those weeks went by so fast; now long in past.
Cry alone for how we are so far apart; we may fall apart.
Lonely 'cause I miss somebody; whom I love more than I love me.

Consumed

Totally engulfed in a book a movie or etc that captivates our inner senses

Consumed by darkness

In the shadows, hides a
mind swollen full of pain and emptiness.
Dark thoughts consume my soul.
I'm sure not to show it, when others are looking.
My held high,smiles to hide the horrible feelings I have inside.My heart drowning in despair.Days turn into night's meditation nope not for me, medication yes please.Cant handle my loved ones being taken

Consumed

I feel the agony
Crawling up my legs
Gnawing at my arms
Ripping into me
Trying to take over 
I fight and fight 
Till the pain grows 
Never stopping as it eats away at me
Ripping through me.
Many might believe 
It’s simple to be consumed
that it’s quick and painless
but I know the feeling.
The sickening feeling of being devoured and consumed

Consumed By Hate

What have you taken away?

A smothering indistinctness of pain as thoughts darken.

Once we enjoyed innocence, untainted and open.

But, your love perished.

A vengeful vision of bitterness-

Memories follow darkness , follow pain,

Love forgotten.

In a haze or sorrow, I reject you.

Consumed

Consumed

I remember in poverty,
eating ramen noodles,
daily.

Beans and Weenies.
Meatless sauce
spaghetti.

Rice, Rice, Rice,
without any real
spice.

Bologna Sandwiches.
Hamburger Helper
mixes.

Fried Spam,
and all kinds of meat,
canned.

Hot Dogs on a stick,
burnt to a
crisp.

Catfish from the creek,
yellow belly
meat.

Milwaukee’s Best.
Another broken
promise.

The cheapest smokes.
Always gotta have
those.

Colon cancer, Rectal cancer,
lungs and
brain.

A hole too deep,
at least six
feet.

Same old hole,
no matter where you
grow.

Consumed

Those totally consumed with self
don’t view the world through humane eyes.
Ambition is not wrong, they feel.
To strive to reach the top is wise.

True narcissism goes beyond
mere drive to have the best in life.
It smothers all esteem of others*
and blinds them to another’s strife.

For those who worship self and gain,
it takes a great catastrophe
or else, for

Tried

As much as I have tried to let you go, I just can't. 
I consumed drugs & alcohol to give my soul an implant. 
Don't worry I decided a long time ago, to just leave you be. 
For I would not want to be forced, if my heart disagreed. 
The hardest thing is not forgetting

Fear Dictation

I’m here picking the flower petals impulsively while whistling the tune,
“He loves me, he loves me not”.

My head is lost my thoughts about our inconceivable dreamy first date,
Wishing I could feel your warmth wrapping around my waist while intertwining and locking with my hands. 

Being consumed in brightly broad assumptions is enough to make me

On Leaving

unjoined lips parted, breathing with a sigh 
flowers stand for hours to undo
proving only the softest of petals 
to brush a young cheek blushing
all vision lost this throat no worthy vessel 
to release the stars to make a universe 
where doves still dare not fly
still air fading Into night eyes become shunted 
with the bending

Consumed With Desire

His fingertips traced my lips and lightly brushed
my cheek until I sensed the warmth of a blush.
Our last night would be spent with flames of fire
in passion's romance, I was consumed with desire.

In the soft glow of candle light, we undressed,
and the sweetest words of love, we confessed.
My blue gown of silk and lace, fell
