Consuming Poems - Poems about Consuming

Putting out fires not of my making it's time-consuming heart-breaking the grass over there don't seem any greener and from my perspective the streets are meaner the so-called social networks are as unsociable as can be impersonal with dirty laundry on show for everyone to see despite self-admitted wrong-doing and misdeeds the herd still follows their every lead but I won't borrow sorrow and...

I watched as the city burned in flames, a phoenix consuming its wings in flight, the streets transforming into rivers of fire, spirits freed from the cage of time, politicians arrive like sorcerers, claiming they can tame the wind with words, proclaiming promises that dissipate, leaves of a season of forgetfulness, their echo is a dried-up spring of hopes,...

The love of innocent ways Is giving it going to pay To be valued how very nice Indeed, frozen as cold as ice The sun's warming rays Gently melting me away How sweet, how kind, to be the wine Drink up, get your fill, I'm going to spill...

I come with the indomitable intent to beguile Upon your face, I place an ephemeral smile When I come, I don't stay very long I have you up early but by the time I leave, I'll have you singing a sad song Gone! Gone like a thief in the night Sometimes I make you blackout, but when you return,...

Clouds in a Walmart mirror. The galvanized roof is eclectically painted and rattling its shifting shadows. Some mutter, hurry to the unmanned checkouts, some seek a deeper shelter in the sporting goods aisle's The distant sounds of fire engines and sirens, a howling chorus of trepidation. Outside in the midday gloom parking-lot geese are forming escape lines. Squirrels gawp and chatter, hit the ground running. Another shoplifting tornado has come to town, pushing...

Licking my wounds. Recovering from the pain. Is it supposed to feel this way? Empty, cold, and dejected. Ashamed of not enjoying it. Radiating heat filling me up from my pelvic floor. Somehow, I am wanting more. More of the pain without it there’s no freedom for what lies between my legs. I am ashamed of how it leaks, throbs, & pulsates for more. Maybe one more...

There is love And then... there is LOVE That overwhelming, “take over your every thought” love That longing to “forever be in someone's arms” love That “I can't function without you” love Anyone who has truly known this love Knows exactly what I'm writing of It's overwhelming down to the core It engulfs us Nothing else is of any consequence It's all consuming, life changing,...

I'm not unmotivated, It's just hard to feel excitement when the only side I've ever seen of it, Was a mauled reflection I'm not disheartened, It's just hard to feel accomplished when its only ever been a withered flower in a cemetery garden How could I rationalize when I’m irrational? I can dream inside my wounded mind...

Hate is a consuming thing And it makes the emotions king Body and soul bound by evil In a constant state of upheaval And I fell into a whole lot of hate At my mind, soul, and spirit it ate And it burned, burned, burned~~ that evil And it burned, burned, burned, and stirred upheaval Now I've had a taste of...

Natural compassion, like unnatural hate, is left hemisphere teachable and right hemisphere contagious. Perhaps also like hate (fortunately I know less about this journey in misfortune) compassion cannot mature through merely didactic reasoning, words, thoughts devoid of healthy/pathological safe/danger anticipation/anxious feelings Positive communication experience commitment predicts healthy integrity Nurturing and nutritional support Nature's cooperative respite into nondualistic yet spirited peace, resonantly non-anxious safety breathing light in and power out A lifetime environmental healthy guarantee that I will notice, respect, attend to, anticipate moments...

To love is good under the starless sky in a man’s arms To break is good under the touch of a hand in a bed with white sheets To drink is good when you long for someone and you cry poetry To talk is healing when you kept quiet for years and you almost forgot the sound of your own voice To sing is good For you beloved,...
