Ingulfing Poems | Examples


Premium Member Incandescent Sky

Until now, the skies were only blue or gray.
But today, wrathful Cacus set the sky ablaze.
Today, the spectral smoke choked ochre sky mirrors  
exploding wildfires unleashed below.

Today the tarnished jaundice sky measures
the crumbling Constitutional edifices,
the raging roving injustice burning
everywhere across the land.

Today as thousands are driven
from their homes, the pestilence 
spreads across the land, 
killing hundreds of thousands.

Today the sooted grimy sky
reflects the deceitful lawless tyrant,
all his crooked crony stagehands,
his white nationalist army of tormentors,
as their raw sewage floods the rivers and streams
of our theories. 

Today this climate rampage
has nothing to do with climate change.
We bask instead in the political climate 
of aberrant delusions.

Today this inferno in the sky,
this ceiling of hellfire, 
suffocates our oxygen of dreams.

Below, the Constitution provides
kindling for the flames 
ingulfing our democracy,
the fuel for our conspiracy wildfire,
our rite of passage 
                      to the underworld.

A Date With Destiny

Ice light blue eyes
Colored in like out of line crayons

Deep And Penatrating
Like the stare from your mother at 1:00 
When your breath smells like your grandpa's coffee

Lips like candy
Unwrapped
Child like
Tongue licked clean

Hair like oil painted pastels 
In The autumn sun
Like the curves of a women
Tucked away in your imagination

Her Smell is a simmered crf flavors 
Ingulfing the senses
Enriching the scattered ideas 
Deep inside of A brain

I yell out who are you?
But my eyes are still to heavy to open....

Brian Patrick Merrick


To Love More Than Hate

Chaos ingulfing morbid, malicious thoughts of hatred.
Filling my mind with grotesque images of rotting flesh.

This hatred for you knows no bounds or laws.
It fills me completely, leaving an empty, mindless husk.

If only you had listened, as I told you how I felt.
Perhaps we wouldn't have fought quite as much.

You drove me insane with your incessant banter.
Driving me to the brink of suicide, then to commit murder.

The blood on my hands, staining so very deep.
Is not my own, nor was mine to take.

So I sit, hot stinging tears rolling down my cold cheeks.
For as much as I hated you I loved you twice as much.

I deserve this more than you, to bleed in silence.
That is why I'm coming to join you in the beyond.

So that you may drive me mad there, and forever more.
That is my fate, and that is my curse, for I loved you more than hate.
