Intrusive Poems - Poems about Intrusive

A mind, a quiet room, suddenly the door bursts open, uninvited guests with muddy boots, tracking dread across the clean carpet of my peace. They whisper, sharp as glass shards, "What if the sky falls, right now, a blue ceramic bowl shattering?" Or "Did you lock the door? Really? Is the stove off? Are you sure?" A fly buzzing, trapped behind my eyes, its frantic...

We were standing nearby the sea …Drinking; It was night. And I had traveled from my city To meet my cousin; It had not been a happy decision, It was simply an intrusive decision, Of a devastated psyche, Caught by a mental breakdown; But there was this thing with this state …It would somehow give you those outs, Cuts! Changes of routine! That apart from the painful melody. …Had...

Dark ramblings play in my head trying to snuff what was declared; knots of words litter hazy thoughts on bite of evening as I plead for silence. But a litany of defenses intrudes my space as I blindly look up, framing a starlight to assuage this deep tug of anguish, where own feelings are not heard, barbed thoughts grating, welling each time you explode...unaware of...

Dare I share my intrusive thoughts Once suicidal in a mood so dark I actually tried to stop my heart Using vitamins to sin with life to part It was a low that got so deep Manic tide had overcome me Was hearing voices in trilogies Mad as I was bipolar buried I recall walking outside Collapsed in the sunshine Barely recall ambulance ride Feeling lost...

I have a voice within my mind that never stops talking, it is rattling and annoying and intrusive most of the time: though, at times it speaks to me of random memories, like the smell of grandma's cookies with hints of chocolate; or the feel of my baby's soft downy hair.

trees tremble, quietly in the laughter of sweet winds leaves rustling, waltzing, twisting through the fresh noon gentleness abiding in my spirit, the stirrings of a hesitant dream… predictions of glowing silence in the moonlight whimsical stars, breaking through the heat of a star sprinkled night, where my heart remembers silvery peppered skies, during the times when I felt more than I heard, more...
