Deposing Poems | Examples


Drain You

You can stroke at my skin
Blow me kisses
Touch my hands
The legs I have scratched at leaving scares I'll never let you see

You could mean it all
You could love me.

You could give me everything I'd even need
Things like food or water
A life
From the blood flowing through my body
To the mind games

Things I need and things I don't 

I could love you
I could hold your hand
I could laugh at all your stupid jokes
I could give you everything I have

Thats what I'll do for you

But that won't stop me from killing you
Watching the blood slowly drain you
Watching the worry coat your once beautiful features

I could do everything from the first stab into your gut to the deposing of your  body

Then I'd consider the risk you took taking my hand and not hers

But of course you did take her hand
You held them carefully
You let her into the light we once shared

Hexakosioihexakontahexaphobia

i insist on suffocating slowly 
still 
i refuse to die 
imposing my will to weakness 
avoiding applying the “why”

implications are closing in, opressive 
my mind is open, fluid 
suggestive 
interposing meaning and form with 
the spoken and written letter

the light source filtered through all this 
wreckage 
the squeaking moving in, opressive 
regressive, the way my vantage remains 
a disjointed unit-whole

you persist, and i suffocate quickly 
you ask so nicely for me to die 
deposing my God damned will to power 
why do i seem to avoid the “apply”?

THE SYMBOL ON MY HAND IS BURNING

into the flesh, and back out from inside 
illuminates Prison, a chasm, a prism 
dividing a spectrum of impossible light

we wholly refract the soma, the psyche 
The Panic transforms into beauty inane 
compulsion, obsession, redemption, addiction 
we know we’re alive 
we perpetuate pain

Lingering bits of joy
Outlasting grey episodes of sadness
Always prevailing in fading shadows

Laughter's light always shinning

Hope sustaining faith
Love deposing evil
Age the friend of reason

It is but to assume the role

The journey is the play

Encores await
