Short Contaminating Poems

Birds that soar cannot no more
all because of your oil.
Gallon after gallon it continues to spew
contaminating American soil....

Women contaminating unborn children
With killer lungs
Slowly became our unwanted deceptive profit
And yet will clearly continue...

Stale air permeates the mind atmosphere
Contaminating the happiness of the soul
Until one day, light shine again with intensity

your dulcet words from your lips slipped into my bloodstream 
and filled my heart with desire
but now even those delightful words sting like poison
contaminating my mind,
infecting my soul

After a cleansing rain, the open plains reveal:
    no sign of contaminating dust.
Clearly visible now: 
    emerald peaks rising behind hills.
The city gate enclose: 
    willows watered by the creek
    bordering fields yet to be plowed.   
With the advent of spring,
    it is now time to sow and toil....

The mistakes I've made,
have burned inside me,
they've changed me in so many ways.
Like a melting ice cube full of poison.
Coursing through my blood and 
contaminating it with its deadly venom.
Leaving me paralyzed and hopeless.
Then there's a light, at the end of a tunnel.
But I'm no farther out than in....

and in the light I see it
the frailties of man
contaminating the oceans
pillaging the land
it glistens in the sun
pours down with the rain
clouds of realization
hovering in poisonous haze
these sins will last for centuries
our children's children will pay
for the wanton disregard
of all the things You gave...

Anxious angst acquires accelerated aging
Mindfully meditating master’s molecular malevolence
Dispelling disease dysfunction
Chronically contaminating critical
Thinker thoughts thunderously
Eroding energy engulfing
Harmonious human happiness
Only original opulent oneness
Graduates getting genuine genius gifts......

The sting of shattered trust
fills his veins with toxic spite,
contaminating his heart. 

He finds solace in a bottle,
quenching his resentment,
slurring forth caustic fumes;
nauseating his liver.

Until he spits her treachery up
with a sickening heave,
in the shallow, murky gutter
of a jaded man's reprieve.

Emerald is her name.
She creeps up on you,
Unsuspecting.
Beautiful green eyes
Capture your soul,
Hypnotizing.
Energy vampire,
Sucking your happiness,
Fatiguing.
Consuming your life
With unbridled envy,
Overbearing.
Murderer of the positive,
Deadly sin of poison,
Contaminating.
An exhausting emotion,
Jealousy ruins her,
Unbecoming....

She was a shot of tequila,
Gulped by every tippler.
She was a vase of carnations
Set on a high table,
For everyone to smell.

She was a lodge napkin,
To absorb their bodies' muck
She was a cup of cappuccino,
To calm their tactile desires.

They contaminated her,
And she is contaminating,
The gullible satyriasis.
Soon, hearses will be
Moving around!...

a throbbing ache emanating from the heart
infecting the blood that runs though its veins
pulsating a malicious toxic venom
contaminating every thought
distressing and impeding psychosomatic pain
mind over matter in a dark defeatist manner

Oil contaminating the Gulf and the shoreline
Dead wildlife is not hard to find
Boom here and boom there
Boom floating everywhere

Life will never be the same
A sad situation and BP is the blame
A loss of culture and a way of life
A sad way for wildlife to die

It's a sad southern summer here
The people have many fears
The road to recovery is very long
Help us God to stand strong...

Doubt now wears a devilish smirk
Whispering in my ears it lurks
It sits stout on my chest, suffocating me
Contaminating my thoughts 
It won’t let me be, fear pushing me down
Anxiety now gets hold of my tongue! 
Self doubt and blame are my two feet
Always ready to walk me to defeat
Doubt will be my downfall I know
I will not let it get the better of me
I let you into a secret, you see
I never liked it’s company!

I fell for your Ocean eyes
The aloe on your skin
Waves breaking in your voice
Sunshine dancing in your laugh 

Those candles you burn
' Carmel corn' , 'the boardwalk'
Wafting through the air
An endless summer in your 
house

The cherry watermelon salad 
You feed me;
Picnics under the stars,
A long walk by the sea

 Contaminating my thoughts 
Like a hurricane landing on 
shore,
The ocean in your eyes hit me;
Your my Port and my Storm...

Them that never cease to claim
Everything that’s ours is theirs.
They take our lands,
They spill our blood;
Our children are consumed by lust.
The future, but a toxic mix:
Ancestors lived and died for this?
This legacy, blighting as a spell;
Contaminating, burns a living-hell.
Who is man and who is beast
When one pretends to love but hates?

You're the anchor of my mental health
contaminating the sea I'm in 

a place where ecosystems fail 
there is no life, my skin's rusting 

you don't believe my boat can sail 
instead a rust as rot seeps in

for now untraveled and still new 
a prisoner to shallow thinking 

and there is no changing you 
wanting me stuck slowly sinking 

I'm will explore the oceans blue 
away from you, your lies and drinking 

I see you a contaminator 
goodbye mother, I'll see you later...

Stealth and insidious
Slithery venomous viper
Creeping inside my brain
Uninvited and pervading
Vile contaminating poison
Infecting my fragile sanity
Dropping that black canvas
Of all consuming darkness
When I least expect it
Inflating guilt and shame
Grounding smothering
Clipping wings and victimizing 
Stealth and insidious

A world that once was. Is no more. Scattered shards of culture, lie dormant beneath its ruins. 
Waiting to be discovered, then discarded by those who would deny.

Future traveler's mingling with the past. Contaminating  mankind’s storyline.
Weaving webs of endless possibilities and our beginnings.

Savages turned scholars who’s knowledge of the heavens surpasses our own
Temples align with precision, marking seasons. Depicting time.

Knowledge passed on from future time.
