I feel riddled with sickness,
plagued by all infirmity.
Like a fiddle playing a -
score of sombre tunes.

Never-ending

Always going

Deeper and deeper

Debilitating

Always painful

Stronger and stronger

Paralyzing

Always reminding

Darker and darker….

….is that black hole...

The lid on the box says “Do Not Open”
Which, by itself, is too much temptation,
But, merely sitting around and looking at it
Is the epitome of debilitating frustration.

Without a warming
Suddenly knocks at your door
Opaquing the soul
Debilitating spirit
Fighted with praying and will

Excruciating and Debilitating

When we have pains that may be excruciating,
Have discovered they can become debilitating;
Much to learn;
This do yearn;
What we will really need is further educating.

Counting syllables
Deep thoughts dancing in my head
      In a Sunday state of mind

          Noon woolgathering
           Debilitating silence
    Broken by some kids at play

In ghana
no one dies
before a short illness
no tarriness
quick, swift

no prolonged sickness
debilitating, painful
by the barrel of a gun
or incantation
by the bonnet of a car
or prophecy

no one dies
no sudden death
before a short illness
no one...

It must have been love – or so I thought

When pain was all your teasing eyes and utterance have caused

This musing heart of mine doesn’t learn a thing

That even the sweetest device can be debilitating

Just like a tooth, from chocolates, end up aching...

Lilliputian minds oft affirm
Delusional knowing
Unstable, fickle and infirm 
Thoughts debilitating

Becoming as we choose
There’s no valid excuse
To thus cook our own goose

The false ego binds
Lilliputian minds

Power corrupts, strengthens ego
Plunging us in darkness
Please let go, oh hermit, let go
Entwine with That oneness

Voice of conscience’s bleating
Save love, all else fleeting
Soul debilitating

Desire erupts
Power corrupts

Dangerously cunning,
dressed to kill, she plans his 
downfall, relying on 
debilitating strength.
Driven by greed she acts:
Deft hand of betrayal	 
dealt by a femme fatal.

That sinking feeling of despair
Surely not ours to keep
Switch frequency and with love pair
Bliss the reward we reap

Fuel not ego unsound 
Know we are free, not bound
With each breath, new joy’s found

Debilitating
That sinking feeling

Endless blue skies home to gulls on the wing
   I'd trade a lifetime of winters for a bee's gentle sting...
Parched earth begs the debilitating heat to subside
   Were I a bird, far away from summer droughts would I swing

Depression is debilitating.
Hopeless days end with helpless nights.
I don't wanna leave my house I lost interest in life.
So lonely it hurts.
So many emotions to control and sometimes I cry for no reason at all.
An irritable feeling I just can't shake.
Miserable and unhappy So I lay awake thinking of ways to escape....

Ghosts from the past
They seem to last
Longer than i want them to,
I try to breathe
But the suffocate me
In the presence of my own mind,
I try to find
Ways to let them go,
But the walls close in
And they grow...
Ghosts,
Picking at my every thought,
Debilitating me,
I try to break free
But they never leave
Ghosts...

Excluded Trump for Being Excruciating

Making someone very weak and infirm
like a "debilitating back pain."
Tending to weaken something.

Again excluded Trump for being excruciating;
He never was humble and always humiliating;
Poor golfing game,
And him to blame;
Back stabbed with pains that are debilitating.

Startled by the hallucination
of himself upon the wall
The man of a compromised conscience
cringes with apprehensive velocity


Debilitating panic emerges
with a disconcerting air of predictability
Transporting him, intangibly, to a setting that prohibits
his own narration
Forcing him to endure his biography
without any preferred revisions...
