Premium Member Paralyzed

I have the will to conquer the world,
Yet I find I cannot move.
I freeze in thought,
I’m paralyzed,
A motion-
Heavy-
None.


Premium Member nightmare

nightmare central
old gooseberry in my dreams
i cannot scream

paralyzed with fright
no sounds come out
of my traitorous body

Premium Member The One Who Survives

post-crash
			      four funerals
		   not my fault, mourners say
	           paralyzed by survivor's guilt
			       what now?

A Lonely Night

A lonely sky
No moon in sight
Air faint and dry
Trees paralyzed

Curious bats
No fruits to bite
A lifeless garden
A silent night

Depression Is --- a Short Poem

Depression is...

Paralyzed within

Silent screams through prison bars,

The raccoon smiles.

No words from my pen.
Want inner peace, and amen.
Plus, God's rules, all ten.

Premium Member Fear Has Arrived

I cannot move
he is here
i can feel him

I am paralyzed

I  can hear his breathing
i look for a weapon

I cannot move
or scream

fear has arrived

Premium Member Help

lying helpless

can't move

paralyzed

immobilized

i can see everything

opening my mouth for words 

i can not speak

my thinking still goes on

The Prisoners House

Arrested by fear,
   Positioned to become prey,
       The snake takes a jab,
      Paralyzed, immobilized,
       Skillfully demoralized.

Premium Member Lucky Victim

She was depleted, drained, exhausted
But determined to live no matter what
Three days later her killer led police to her body
Except she was merely paralyzed, still alive

The Night We Met

This must be a dream, if not, you are a dream come true
Your hair gently blowing in the breeze
Your smile gleaming in the moonlight
your glistening eyes leave me paralyzed

Inner Trenches

Twenty and eight days in the dungeons
Munched in the guts of darkness
Nearly forgot what I was
Paralyzed by fear
Burning in fever
I longed for love
Buried deep
Inside
Me

Premium Member my worst nightmare

I cannot scream
I am paralyzed
stuck in place
my arms and legs are pinned

I try again to scream
nothing comes out
I am immobile, voiceless, terrified
my worse nightmare

When You Left

The day you left was the day life defeated me
The pain has finally taken a hold of my body and has paralyzed me.
I now just sit here,
waiting,
hoping,
wishing,
and suffering.

Premium Member Profound, the Implications

Awesome the ideas
  revealed only to me
Profound their implications
  as the deepest of seas

Envisioning an ovation
  I focus my eyes
the audience hushed
  ~ my tongue paralyzed
Form: Rhyme

Feeling

i don't know whats worse
feeling everything
or nothing at all 

having every emotion hit you like a wave
or being in a constant state of numb

drowning in sadness
or paralyzed by nothing

Premium Member Impossible

I tried out my hand at a Limerick
The words that I chose didn't do the trick
Every phrase that I tried
Left my hand paralyzed 
A tough trick when writing a Limerick





Trying another new style.

Gray Sky Falls

Paralyzed sunshine of the day, gray kissed skyscrapers in faint
Blurry dance stuck in the air as the dew pervades some occlusions
Day sketched gloom in beauty behind the droplets of breezy nimbus
Form: Sijo

Control

Can't control my heart
Over and over again I get hurt
Never knowing who to trust
They take advantage of my wounds
Rendering me paralyzed  
Oblivious to their deciet 
Losing ever thing inside of me

Premium Member Springtime Is Fun Time

Animals know the fun times, they become paralyzed Each spring they look forward, no need to supervise Males are on the hunt Females just grunt But somehow the deed gets done and fertilized

Premium Member Psych 101

When I feel paralyzed and can't get out of bed,
I remember they're only fears that live inside my head.

So I get up and dress to feel my best
and ultimately chase away the rest.

Premium Member Minus Seven Fahrenheit

The high (?) today was minus seven Fahrenheit That's ridiculous, it's a matter of fight or flight To some place more civilized Where my body's not paralyzed From November to May it's a constant fight

Reaper

The day ends
The darkness pours out
You close your eyes
Not knowing you have died
Speaking out to the world
Yet not moving
Paralyzed in your tomb
Escaping the knife 
For he has come to kill 
And so you have died

Ocean Eyes

Your beauty penetrates deep into my soul,
The aqua glint in your eyes, and rosey lips,
The touch of your fingers, the kiss we stole,
The sparks of bliss from our fingertips,
Leave me paralyzed, gazing into your ocean eyes.

Premium Member Let it Go

  An ache overflows his soul
    cries that bore deep holes

  Time skirts the crowd’s edges
    not the time, the Master alleges

  To sympathize 
    when paralyzed

  Let it go for now
    vengeance not his to avow
