Short Anxieties Poems

Comatose agonies of turbulent currents, in breathless shivers of deepest anxieties amidst high tides in my soul....

By delusions, 
By obsessions,
By anxieties,
By fears
I’m trapped.
They’re buried now
& will appear to me later
In ugly ways....

one word can capture them
it captivated them
expectations collapsed

all is well when all is written

we thrived, in the midst of her anxieties, her pride.

I drive me crazy
- there's no hiding or help
for dark self distrust.

Frightening whispers
are like a levied tax of
doubt about my choices.

Anticipations
dulled on anxieties rough shore
- best to keep them deep....

Nights unveil the darkness 
Of dreary, dismal days
Thoughts plummet deeply 
And diverge in disarray
Anxieties surmount
Ability to cope is seized
Sad face, a pseudo-smile
Hope barely within reach

Humour and laughter are essential to me 

Not a want but a need

Both warm my being

Fuel for my soul guaranteed


Humour and laughter

Both the beat of my heart

Raise my spirit high

Anxieties and woes readily depart...

Mammograms
are an intrusive 
physical ordeal that
set anxieties on overdrive
so on follow-up visit
a genuine smile's
a good sign.

My shrink is depressed,
and I, yes  I, am to blame.
He cured me of all my anxieties,
yes, every single one of them,
with complete, yes complete,  success,
So I don’t worry about anything anymore,

not even those exorbitant bills
he keeps sending me....

Is this fate how we ended?
I hate how it can't be mended
Your madness, my sadness
We both ignite, but both lost the fight

My immaturities, just triggered your anxieties
I became toxic, we became tragic
Is there a cure? Maybe magic
But my love's pure. Baby it's not a trick...

Gone are the days of happiness
Cause I made mistakes I confess. 

Smiles were on my face now and then.
Anxieties were not in my brain.

Good were the days when you were with me
Sweet were your kisses as it should be.

Hellish life was beyond my dreams
I left you for worse now it seems!...

Read More

I recall how it felt the first time
I set eyes upon your smiling face.
My anxieties started to climb,
and my pounding pulse began to race;
yet, incredibly, it felt sublime!

Hills weeping

Streets and sex litter 

With echoes of anxieties

As pattering feet taking solace 

In their shrines

The second coming...

Oceans of nightmares garrison my iris,

Waiting for his coming, 

With a bottle of hallucination,

I saw his coming...

My name is Prophet Harold...

just
waking
reading your

last
last night's
email telling

me how
much you
miss me and

i
i feel
feel it too

so
now
awake

i
take
my morning

pill
to help
reduce my

anxieties
but really it just
makes me tired

so
honey
i'm back

to 
sleep
so shall

meet
you in
dream land...

Tomorrow they tell tales
Bring back bright boyhood
Dumped deeply in dales
Forest fled for fickle food

Could you clamour clean
Till tomorrow throw them
Last lingering lines lean
We wont wait to weft them

Around ancient anxieties
Ego esconced, embattling
Dull days dead drunk deities
Some senses seared still screaming....

Next to the toxicity 
Of childhood complexity 
And growing into the monster
The worst of the ways
We pass on these days
Are the crippling anxieties we sponsor
Next time you dine
At the table next to mine
We should speak with only our eyes
If they all saw me
As I’m meant to be
They’d forgive me for all my lies...

You find the words when I have none 
You explain the emotions that I cannot
You calm the roaring seas in my head
And cast away all the anxieties of my heart

I listen and am far away from my worries 
I am restless in the silence but melt in your sound
Music keeps my head above water
And keeps my feet on the ground....

Please Stay!

She pleaded a lot,
to stay with him.
She pleaded a lot,
not to leave.
She cried all day long,
Continued monologue.
She closed her eyes,
breathed deep.
Anxieties out,
took a leap.
Out of insecurity,
out of uncertainty,
a way leading her to herself,
was on her way.
Still she kept pleading him to stay....

many times over the 
past version of self 
fell prey to anxieties that
plagued the mind 
the past self fought against  
bouts of irrational thoughts  
that ran through the mind 
an obsession to find a way out of the 
anxiety became a compulsion  
self-over analyzation became the norm
that the past self fell prisoner too...

FEARFULLY I AM DIZZY As I stand up to the honey badger--

Sprinkling fluorescent muted dots of racing shadows,
Fatefully  anxieties hypocrisies dilemmas,
As vertigo swirls away constants fathoms.
"I stand up to the honey badger"


“I fear not the bee stings but run from the honey the badger brings”
---James Edward Lee Sr.

Tears in the corners of my eye
            attract her spirit late at night.
She shows in the lens, I supply,
            tears, in the corners of my eye.
Grief conjures her ghost when I cry,
            calming anxieties and fright.
Tears in the corners of my eye
            attract her spirit late at night.

P-ut your faith in the Almighty, 
A-voiding the doubt and fear; 
Z-ealously learn to believe that all anxieties will disappear.

G-ive your trust to God, 
U-sing your hope and love; 
T-wenty-fourth of January, 
A-sk the Father up above.
N-o cause for alarm, nor reason to worry; 
G-et up every time you fall, put your faith in the Almighty....

Bankers from their benches to cicumvent in webs
Anxieties of the dwindling bread in vicious schemes
Nation-states invent, becomes by promise celebs
Kindled on uncrowned hearts, now dries up dreams.
Ensnared we ponder at reforming this global art
Reviling old landscapes and phantoms of magic lust
Servile greed has coffled all to the stagnancy of trust...

SEEKING SHELTER
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS



I’m Unhappy I Need Something New
My Present Situation Just Won’t Do
I’ll Go to a Different, Fresh Venue
Find True Friends and Places New
I’ll Find Happiness, Never Again Blue
All of My Anxieties, I’ll Quickly Undo

“Probably Won’t Work, You’ll Surely Rue
You Are Taking an Old Nemesis with You”
 
You...

It's time to rest
and put my feet
on this footstool:
God will stand up
and work wonders...
do I deserve them?

It's time to rest
to feel at peace
with myself and be
assured I am bound
for a great victory!

It's time to rest
and let all the worries
and anxieties be His;
it's a peaceful sunset,
and I can lay down... 
not fearing darkness!...

A-bout ninth September cheer, 
N-ight cold chill is gone; 
G-ood morning has risen, 
E-njoying the break of dawn.
L-et ninth September cheer
Y-our soul, mind and heart; 
N-ever think of anxieties, for they will all depart.

B-irthday celebration comes, 
U-nder the sky lights appear; 
R-adio reporters are talking
A-bout ninth September
C-heer....
