Edematous Poems | Examples


Pain

The boborygmous sound I hear
As if a choir has found a habitation in my tummy
My throat so dry, longing for water
The ocean of tears, now like a desert
I can't see, my eyes so edematous
Trying to take a step, the cracks under my feet so painful
Trying to scream, no voice is coming out
All I hear is a whimper if not a whisper
I'm trying to run away, but I'm still on the same spot 
All I'm doing is staggering like a drunkard

Full of Empty

Between the beat of a broken heart,
Lie lonely light-years far apart…
Within my head an empty room,
Four cosmic corners in their bloom…

My screaming soul an empty space,
Edematous eyes with a faceless face…
My love echoing expands in the verse,
Losing ground as the infinities immerse…

A fading fall into obtuse oblivion,
Stars of solitude in their billion…
Daughters of desire behind their veil,
Tangible tears in their sinusoidal sail…

Illusions idol amidst the Dragons lair,
As the empty voids turn back to stare…
Sweet sleep subdue my burning flame,
Longing love thru whispers of your name.
