Atlanta Rain

Retreat for cover
Atlanta showers the streets
Humid air now chokes

Decadeath

The whore train rubs its warm thumping body against the rails
The heat rises and the chimney wails
A smell of melting chokes its throat

It's Hard

It's hard;
living in a 
world where
your voice
is so desperate
to be heard.
But when there's 
a chance, the 
ocean chokes 
it up.

Premium Member Ugly Little Poem

Old age has the edge over youth
It's not the other way around
Old age gets youth in a headlock
Then, with wisdom, slowly chokes it out.

Premium Member Thought of the day

death’s the ultimate earth life test
a reality check that chokes
what we hold onto fate does wrest
whence we see this dream life’s a hoax

Darkness

Is it a presence of black rays or the absence of light
Either ways, its the same plight
The time when time chokes tight
And only fear seems bright

I 
Cannot
Breathe my
Throat is
Blocked it
Bears a
Chain that
Chokes and
Locks my
Lungs are
Flat my
Eyes are
Wide I 
Cannot 
Breathe I
Cannot
Die

Blue Whale's mouth is huge

morning glories wrap beautiful flowers climbs, squeezes, chokes their stalk, limbs so like some humans who climb, squeeze, choke until

Clear Warning

Stan was one of those insensitive blokes, 
who gorged on Jerusalem artichokes,
when gas formed in his gut,
he thanked God for a butt...
now the entire USA gags and chokes.

The Soul's Poison Ivy

Hate,
Looks like poison Ivy that is slowly killing a tree,
Smells like death,
Sounds like a victory cry when your enemy is dead,
Chokes your soul so that no good feelings can grow.

Murmurs of a Chair

Anxiety chokes thought
Hearing murmurs of a chair
In a shadowed room
Some glimmers of secrecy
Hankers in this lonely end?

My Persian LICKS with abandon
A cat with a mission in hand'en
When suddenly he chokes
HAIRBALLS stuck in his throat
And upchucks over me where I'm standin'!

Eternal Circle

Life is a circle 
That seems to never end
Every day a struggle
We must fight through again and again
Try we might
To find peace within 
But darkness chokes the light
In the circle with no end

Premium Member My Crux Oddquain

Tear 
           into me,
mold with your scratches;
Carve away all the excess;
           Sculpt,
reshape the left over bits;
Take heed with matches;
    My crux chokes 
              air.

Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)

My Sons

I look at you and I feel intense love.

A love so indefinite that it chokes me from within.
You are mine, I made you.
Finally, something good came from me. 

I never understood what love really was, until I had you.

Untitled I

Swirling mist
Chokes us all,
Whether or not you’re
Gasping for breath.

Thickening fog
Blinds us all,
Even if your
Vision is perfect.

Pounding rain
Brings back the pain,
Especially the one
You never knew you had.

Yapping

Sleep Off Or Out

In that tautly made hole
they rehearse on an icy sheet
and deer graze on the roof.

With boned limbs on a trunk
a pink witch pops into view:
chokes in giggles.

After which they desired to eat
the old creep’s snatch,
in the corner her laid out leg.

Ego

A masterful foe
  This ego of ours
  It clothes itself
  In arrogant guise
  We know not
  From where it came
  But it chokes our lives
  With its pompous game
  With cruel intention
  It hardens and binds
  While we cower behind
  Our fickle minds...
