Wandering into
Mist-shrouded, cavernous rooms.
Gliding past ghostly
  Mirrors. Choking on Pages
  Of a Faded Existence.

In the End

Blue Collar—White Collar,
choking the same

Their difference endemic,
as time casts its blame

life hands out marbles
I swallow mine on purpose
clogging my body
loudly choking and screaming
blaming everyone else now

Scale of Life

Snared by the moment
Details turn into stories
Choking petty minds
Liberated when they find
Stars are the true scale of life

An Empty Bassinet

Anguish paints the mask.
Choking on dysphoria
begrimes a collapsed heart.
Hypothermia sets in
when squeezing the color blue.

Glitter, Glitter Yellow Gold

Glitter, Glitter Yellow Gold

coruscating yellow gold;
all the choking splendour
emerging from mere bog!

Choking Dreams

I choke in my dreams
I’m struggling so it seams
A conflict with me and the inner me
Unblock this plague and let my words free

The dance of dances

The dance of dances as he swung:
his twitching legs a rhythmic fight,
as choking, gasping, praying hard,
he danced  into eternal night.

In the Grave She Stays

up close a face, death
a strangler, choking my breath,
here you are, my wife says,
time's up, your crime pays,
in the grave, she stays.

Vain Illusion

Laying bleeding my insanity
Choking in a pool of my vanity
Blinded by my pride and couldn't see
Cracking the mirror doesn't change reality

Boxed

the chains that are bound
choking on each other's ignorance

fall short of the key

linked in division and plight
unable to stand as one

Trappings

It’s not what you put on
  but what you take off

Each trapping a hangman
  —and choking its cost

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Dichotomy

struggling to breathe
the choking hold on my chest
your  hard words like bricks
bury me deeper
bearing the weight of your love
until I’m breath less
Form: Choka

Entrails

Only a few succeed
Countless fail
Choking on bills
Dreams that don’t sail
Foreclosure of fortune
Liquidated entrails
Empty homes
Lives for sale

Strangling ribbon 
Choking ancient sleeping elm
Revenge of the vine

On Peanuts

Small, crunchy, n` creamy.
Father X-mas between the two
Salty, tasty, n` nutty.

Merciless.

I am

I am suffocating 
I can't breathe 
I am choking 
I can't see
I can't move 
I am scared 
Is this real
Is this a dream
I cant scream 
Someone wake me up

Death

Death.
Dark, longing.
Crying, sufficating, screaming.
Grasping hands tight on ones throat.
Clawing, choking, bleeding.
Blank, heartless.
Gone.

choking ice dust heaven earth
worlds cauterized black

Entangled

Entangled
Can’t feel my heart
With your firm grasp
Choking the life
From my essence
Yet
It’d gladly stop beating
Within your clutch
Seize my soul
For one more lifetime

Joan of Arc

The crackling flames that scorched her flesh
and choking, blinding clouds of smoke
were not enough to sway her faith
as, bound, she died upon the coke.
