Me

Drowning in a body of oxygen

And yet I can't breathe

Drowning in an ocean of happy

A happy I don't know how to feel.


Premium Member Paying For the Wakefulness of the Weekend

lids war the endless pursuit
of oxygen dispelled by
the gulp of grounds and stirred cream
...caffeine withdrawal

My Day

Inhaled oxygen
Then exhaled stress and inhaled
the stress I exhaled.

Continuing life
Though in hesitations, Ah!
Positivity

Living

You are the oxygen running in my vains
You are the blood pumping my heart
You are the air that I breath
My reason for living is you

Oxygen like Love
Often taken for granted
Lack one of the two
Face the harsh reality
You will soon be turning blue

my buds
unfurling friends
tiny trees for birds
   on fruitful branches
new oxygen
      for Winter weary
a welcoming

Asphyxiating one breath at a time
Oxygen levels not worth a dime
Gasping for breath
A step closer to death
We will soon hear her funeral bells chime

Still the Waters

So,
if  you
ever get
really angry,
simply hold your 
breath and count slowly
up to ten - unless  you have big 
issues about oxygen and numbers ...

Premium Member Pox Or Poker

They say I have covid,
Well, isn't that special.
So, they gave me Paxlovid,
And an oxygen checker.
Yet, I'm told it's better,
Than the pox or a poker!

Water

a moist transparent mess

one hydrogen atom

and two oxygen

98 per cent of the human body

the composition of tears 
and the seven seas and rainbows

Peace

Bread and butter for the just
tasteless soup for the wild

Glory for the Godly
betrayal for the aggressive

Oxygen for the vanquished
ammonia gas for victors
Form: Couplet

Problem Solving

What can two hydrogen; one oxygen be,
here’s a really good hint, it makes up the sea.
so now we should know,
water is H2O.
Now let us work this out; what is K9P?

Mother is her Name

Her vessel is empty, yet she is oxygen
Mother, is her name.
She sits in contemplation of
Tomorrow's provision
And you will never know when
Her weary soul is dying.

To Ashes

You were the oxygen to the fire in me.
As I consumed you, the fire in me grew
Until I burnt myself inside out,
Until everything that was left of me 
Was ash and dust.

Fire

Fire
Instance of combustion
Fuel
Ignited
Oxygen
Light, Heat, Flame
A burning mass
As on a hearth
Destructive conflagration
Heat
Greek fire

What if oxygen
Is a slow killing 

Poison that 
When taken 

In takes seventy
Five years, more 

Or less, to 
Effectively 

Take 
Effect?

Premium Member Covid

Cries of the sick and courage in death

Oxygen needing more air

Vicious virus afflicting the world

Innocence gone from boys from girls

Death denial never killing love
