Finished Dream

Woke in panicked haste
Like coffee burning in my lap
Over slept two hours

Fear

Wide eyes
Panic
lips hovering right below a scream
hair pulled into a fist
mouth covered
panicked eyes
wide
heart rattling
fear

Are You Sure -

So,
when
I delete 
An App from 
my iPhone, the 
shaking icons make
it look like they’re panicked
over who is going to be deleted

A Numbing Necessity

They asked us 
In the absence of screens,
To dim your conscience, pains, and dreams
Would you resort to panicked screams?
Or would the quiet be obscene

Scurrying about...
Darting here and there... panicked
Whimpering feebly... 
Brave predators lick their lips...
Caged, trapped... helpless... caught fast

Premium Member Pickle - Mar 19

Pow! the pale powder pumps power into 
The pastor’s panicked pulse. Peeing his pants, 
He pulls his parcel and pitter-patters
To the piss-pot, paying his penile penance.

March winds, beauty ends... hair knots, frizzy globs... bad luck, locks stuck... sight...mirror, panicked terror... Uh oh, nesting crow!

Peace Is Time Stamped

From very far away heard the death.
Each word pounded against silence
Withered breaths of mine panicked
Reality forced a
whisper in the ear,
faded were gone.
Rush to the
time-stamped
Peace.

Thirsty

You left me holding an empty canteen
So I ran to you like a panicked stampede
But your fountain of love
Was all dried up
And my raindance only made you seethe

Premium Member Timing Is Everything, Zelda

Zelda, that tired old witch, she overslept
No surprise, with the late hours she kept
  Panicked, Zelda grabbed her broom
  Off to scare children she'd zoom
Stores sold out of 'B-r-e-w-m-e-t-h-a-n-o-l' ~ she wept

Premium Member Thrust Within Mine Charge

.

Heat rushed through her fleshy parts from the thrust within mine charge
  That look on her face as I made flight for rest did melt this cold heart
    Oh I panicked yet mustered the wake to cause her dream in sleep

SPY

Numbness poisoned flowers
spooky nights serenaded
with chattered cowers,

wounded grasp cascaded 
panicked voices bloomed
mother's smile paraded

with gleams doomed,
yearning hopeless answers
as death roamed.

The sale of toilet paper during the pandemic In the billions, we panicked and became schizophrenic Could read the evening news Articles could make us go pew Needed to be removed from the store with a derrick

Premium Member Absence Makes the Heart

Listen to poem:
Your absence hurts me,
Like a persistent toothache
Or a pair of too-tight shoes.
But, worse, your hard face,
When finally we meet,
Leaves me panicked, gasping:
A doomed and thrashing swimmer,
Drowning in your indifference.

midnight silence

                                    screech of eagle

Debtor's Prison

falling four days
sideways 
the crux of capitalism
crushing financial happiness
into a credit card cube
panicked children chained in debt
to failing governments and corruption 
walking green bricked roads
from Wonderland into the abyss

Sleeping In Souls

Sleeping in Souls


Frightened thought image,
   scared of the unknown.
Perception by envisioning,
   evil eyes of stone.

Reaction chose hastily,
   panicked stress whispered ear.
Garnished Souls devour darkness,
   lying next to you right here...

Talons

Talons.
A Pidgeon panicked!
It flew flapping in its thunder;
In a motion rolling beneath 
swaying leaves.
Floating in its light
eyes wide,sunlit,shattered
In its thunder.
Morning appears through
a misted velvet night !
A solitary coo, no thunder
or wings.

Retreat

teens overnighting
in the social hall
yet feel
apart, alone
panicked

a dark, quiet room
curl up 
in the corner
arms holding knees to chest
head down
trying to feel
anything

nothing there
empty, a shell
huge hole
where 
they say
a heart
resides

why?
no answer

I Promise To Stay Happy

Is this happiness?

Or is this healing?
  
If I promise to never let this happiness go…

Will I simply let myself down again?

Right now I am-  

Happy!

I am also-

Panicked,

Worried, 

And hopeless…

But I know I am strong enough-

To keep those feelings secret.

So Long

Changes, oh so gentle
Untold how many moments repeated
A place in time not my own
To see that which should not have been
Stole me,
For I panicked when I noticed
Realizing I'm forever in a time all unknown
This world, not my own
I can only hope that what replaced me
Keeps me safe
For I am, it

Hounding Me

Lost within the corridors of my mind,
With no end in sight,
I panicked  in fright,
For shadows hound,
And the ground groans,
Were must I go,
To and fro
My mind gos,
What is this madness,
Infecting,
Spreading,
My mind runs away from me,
Oh god the shadows hound, 
running me into the ground.

Somewhere

Somewhere, stark in lunar light,
A werewolf wakens from a wight,
And creeps throughout the sleepy night
To give his fellow creatures fright.

Somewhere, hapless sot alone
Through forest stumbles toward home,
Types panicked text on shaking phone...

Somewhere, werewolf gnaws on flesh-ripped bone.

Coronavirus

Coronavirus has good and bad timing
I know that a lot of people are dying
 The animal’s well-beings are inclining
The animals and plants really are thriving
The ecosystem’s cleanliness is climbing
So while this is hard on all of the living
The world has become a better planet
Even we are still a little panicked
