Pill Poems

Quack

If an apple a day
keeps the doctor away
to such proverb
he'd not subscribe
as the income lost
to defray his cost
foolish he would ascribe
and instead
if looking sickly feeling ill
on my deathbed
a home visit plus pill
he'd quickly prescribe
as a patient I used to be
but now a customer that is me
and the Hippocratic Oath
he ducks like a quack
as to quote

Strange, thou art such a passion pill

Well-groomed ye keep thy ample locks curly,  
Thy tender big eyes stretch nigh up to ears,
O slender heavenly fairy,
Bright teeth on fair countenance endears, 
Thy pearl garland adds to bosom’s beauty, 
Everything ‘pon thee untainted appears  
To cast upon us vibrations tranquil,
Strange, thou art to men such a passion pill.

Poison Pill Song

[Verse 1]

Dance near the silver bridge
Drop a penny in
A penny for your thoughts
You smiled like the end of the world

?

[Pre-Chorus – Extended]

You wrap your soul around me
Like silk that strangles soft
Every heartbeat borrowed
Suddenly, I’m suffocating

?

[Chorus – Haunting, Echoed Vocals]

I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe anymore
Your kiss was a poison pill
Your lipstick inked like blood
You swore it

Just One Pill

A pill to take away the constant dark clouds of despair. 
A pill to take away the thoughts on endless replay. 
A pill to take away the crippling fear. 

Now I pay the price. 
Will my body ever be the same? 

That pill took my waist. 
That pill took my desire. 
That pill took my

A Tough Pill to Swallow

Bitter truth descends,
Hard to take, the medicine,
Acceptance dawns slow.

there once was an old man named Bill
who liked to brag about his stamina to women for a thrill
one night it was said
with Molly he was limp in bed
Bill said I must have gotten a generic blue pill

One Very Bitter Pill

The pains of those ailments that grab us at will 
Once better, like stalkers, can linger on still 
But it’s patently true that life’s bitterest pill
Is the pain when it’s someone you love that is ill

When struck down, bedridden, we try to be brave
Though we feel our survival might be a close shave
But we’d gladly

My Pill Box Says So

is it Friday already; my pill box says so
how many Fridays have fallen
into my palm. my nickname
is Friday, and I pop
my morning pills, interminably
mindful of ginkgo-biloba
and the rest; pillage
of my youth. left
for the book sale; to drop
off books and pick up more
from the library floor. ancient
you must think.  watch me
amble row to row; I’m

A Pill Called Not Enough

Visible but not seen
Trying but viewed effortlessly so.
Scar's visible regardless of the hard work
Put to conceal them.
A feeling so unknown 
Yet painful to contain.
Spreading 
like a disease,
with a motive to bring one down.
How
I ask myself.
How,
do I fight against the befallment of such 
Clouds?
But unanswered I shall remain,
Infected I shall remain,
And without an antidote 
Am as

Giving a Cat a Pill

The feline is oft honoured in lands, 
It struts like an Egyptian in sands. 
     The fastest in town, 
     It won't keep pills down 
As I take my own life in my hands.

The Bitterest Pill

Generations of the entire world.. Once abided by a force fed conditioning, 
An indoctrination so deep, so vast and yet so hidden.., 
Reveals a new rekindled conscious bliss, 
For our obligatory fair questioning, 
And so, notwithstanding this, 
old civilians incredibly; are though, re-auditioning, 
The masses so previously unaware of what was anyway and always, right

My Goldilocks Pill Jar

The weight I carried has settled,
not vanished, but pinned in place -
a fragile truce between my mind
and the pills I swallow, trembling.
They don’t call it a cure,
and I don’t ask for one;
but it’s enough to feel the unraveling slow.

I feel the world bleed into softer shapes,
colours no longer clawing at my skin,
the air no longer

ADVENTURE PILL: JILL AND BILL

Jill and Bill glide on the rill,
Bubbling with thrills,
Embracing the chills,
Past serene hills.

Patiently yearning for gills,
Jill—with her bait and skills—
Fills her spirit with a frill,
As tranquil waters lie still.

With each catch, a hidden drill,
Bill, overjoyed, concerns distill.
Moonlit eve; savor the grill—
Jill and Bill, relish nature's will.
