But sure beats choking on foolish pride....

I visit when feeling ill
He prescribes lotions
Copious pills and potions
That made me feel worse still...

HARD TO SWALLOW

Last summer I bought an ice cream
But although the taste was supreme
While eating my cornet
I swallowed a hornet
When I think about it I scream...

The NHS has plans to save money
Which ENT consultants won’t follow
They won’t hear of budget cuts
They think the plans quite shallow
Which have got up there noses
And they find them hard to swallow...

Lessons in life are not always easy to follow
Sometimes go against the grain, in pity we wallow
Then it all becomes clear
We get knocked on our rear
Hiding in plain sight, truth can be hard to swallow...

Ominous shadows
hold reflections from the day
Events catapult
The truth is hard to swallow
in a world with so much smoke

The clouds parted
and the stars have left
The seas dried
and all there is
is land
The burnt out sun
a hole where it once was born
The air is oh too
hard to swallow
And shadows idle
in missing light
where defeat has no fight...

Deeply rooted dark desires
of every deviant sexual urge,
divine and unconscionably 
naughty primordial  nuances
of sensuality unscrupulously
played out in dreamt midnight
rendezvous or reality if you dare...

it's not so hard to swallow...

Words are easy
Words are cheap
Hard to swallow
With tongue in cheek

A clap for wonder
A clap of praise
Left to wander
An endless maze

Broken promise
Broken trust
Words hid under
Flaky crusts

Crush the honour
Hush the scream
Take the objects
Please leave the dreams....

through so many slamming bangs
on the other side of that barricaded
locked closet door my tongue has bled dry
from pain too hard to swallow
face to the wind sweet winged dreamer
rise and soar in freedom
savor the knowledge of choice 
enjoy the precious moments of too short
flight...

The price to have to pay;
The rules we have to follow;
It all sounds so cliche,
It’s all so hard to swallow.

Equal opportunity for all;
The untruth of society, 
Now we are talking about a wall;
To cause all sorts of anxiety.

Rich man, poor man;
That is all it is about;
Is this the plan;
Equal opportunity, I do doubt....

At the first sign of life
Pull the plug
Why should it begin at birth
Why not conception
It is hard to swallow wisdom
Reason gets in the way of thinking
Do you have something for indigestion
And thirst for knowledge my savage friend
Something sharp and penetrating
A quick easy fix to take a life
Take it happy snow flake pretty
Dancing with a knife...

You were my one and only drug bottled
The label said 5000 miligrams of volite
The suggested use was choke one down
with a side of frustration to follow
The warning label said don't take with alcohol
or it'll send you into a mind numbing wallow
Taken daily it'll help you overall
This relationship won't feel so hollow
I'll  have to take one again tomorrow...

I tried to drown my sorrows, but they learned to swim.  Which taught me you can't run, you can't hide from our less than perfect side.  Even though the dog paddle is all you know.  Try hard to swallow your pride.  Because sorrow is along for the ride.  Sorrow teaches us to realize and appreciate the times that don't bring tears to our eyes~~Blessings  Catfish      3/17/2014...

Anger is an emotion of things unseen
             It burns and rages with a deadly gleam
             It is a passion hard to swallow
             Danger is the path that anger follows
             All sense is blocked when you are mad
             You cannot determine good from bad
             All fire and fury breaks loose in turn
             When you allow your anger to burn...

I'm getting high
On the stars
Downing the moon
Like a pill 
Hard to swallow
Need a bigger
Glass of milk
Because
The Swiss cheese
Is too hollow,
Skimming along
The ocean blue;
The water is cool
Find the lighthouse
By the ocean's shore,
As I sink into this coma,
Carry me deep
Into your slumber
And wrap your arms
My sweetest drug,
In the dark of night
Sleep come
Before the sunrise
Be it late than never......

Hiccups of music,
over and over again;
It's hard to swallow
a little more of the same;
Oxygen's needed to think;

A sound to expand
every thought from deep within;
You just hold your breath
until you're a shade of blue
dying to hear something real;

Fresh water guzzled 
while your lungs can't take in air;
Drown deep and exhale;
In your ear a clean rhythm,
you wade past shallow breathing....

Bemused my thoughts,they dance of you
perchance a ruse of fantasies hue's
color excite this dreamy haze
clouded vision...traveled maze

Chart the path that I may follow
touch untouched is hard to swallow
hungered tryst must not denye
enjoy the feast within' your eye's

Captured now within' your stare
into your hands of loving care
attracted hearts as magnetism
fullfilling lifes romanticism.........

Why do you stare .....
Stare at me?
Step a little closer
then you might just see.
Was it my shuffling?
That made you look fast
or was it my stumbling
when I walked past?
Whichever it was,
I truly don't care.
Walk a mile in my shoes,
I beg you, I dare.
I shake and stumble
with every move I make.
Hard to swallow ....
these pills I take.
For I have Parkinsons,
yes, it's true
but, as rude as you are,
I wouldn't wish it on you!...

Trying and trying...
  I've been crying and crying..
     stop the lying and lying..
losing and losing...
  I keep choosing and choosing...
     confusing and confusing...

missing and missing...
   no more kissing and kissing...
     I keep wishing and wishing...
sorrow and sorrow...
   not tomorrow...tomorrow...
     hard to swallow and swallow...

She walks upon the seeds
That should have been planted
And cultivated as her life
Only small, dried, would-have-been
Blossoms all strewn along this dusty 
Narrow path of stones and somber memories
Spiked with resolution 
She picks up the non-blossoms
And packs them up in a pretty
Treasure box
She keeps it in the darkest corner
Of her closet
And remembers them each day
She chokes on them
And they cut her throat
With their hard to swallow truths...
