Fear
A curse
Fight or flight
Quick decisions
Paralyzing too
Seeking comfort
A way out
To find
Peace

Black Hole
Never-ending

Always going

Deeper and deeper

Debilitating

Always painful

Stronger and stronger

Paralyzing

Always reminding

Darker and darker….

….is that black hole...

Beginning
gravity pulled
me to your eyes
for the first time
instantly paralyzing me
alone in that 
warm blue ocean
beauty lit the sky
on fire and the moon 
exploded into fireworks
melting all my bones

Moon Freezing Moon
Freezing moon, shifting light
separates thin branches.
Creeping mist, rolling fog
rises slowly upwards.
Howling wolf, frozen lake
paralyzing fire.
Freezing moon, shifting light
under midnight skies....

Ambition
Wrapped around the pillar of humanity

As it slithers up it coils tighter and tighter

It's length spreads a warmth that is all too inviting

A paralyzing euphoria


Left unsuspecting
the snap is surprising...

       Paralyzing fear cages him in; 
  Perennially trained outdoors - his jealous eyes 
       Roaming about free - strange faces 
  Oh, how he wishes he could be... 
       One of those faces!

Dark shadow of past lurk the present
As a wrecking ball tied to you
Paralyzing your foot steps
Idle as automat
Sight is far away
Until recap
Your life path

You bite me
Paralyzing me.
Where I can't move.
Wanting me to be
Trapped in your web.
So no one 
Can know the truth
About you.
The lies you tell.
So every one 
Can believe your 
A different person then 
You are...

THE SKY ERUPTS
monsters forming
wreaking havoc
shattering serenity

BOLTS OF HELL
deluge descending
releasing horror
drowning beings

WINDS OF WRATH
power dissipating
scattering entities
paralyzing vacant minds...

Premium Member When You'Re Left Alone
Loneliness is scary
if you've never been alone
'Cos when you're left all by yourself
  There's no such place as home

Those who dig themselves a hole
never see the light of day
A paralyzing fear sets in
  'Til they completely lose their way...

Premium Member Divorce
Did it take you by surprise,
Invade your psyche like a sly snake,
Venom slowly paralyzing love?
Or did it come in like a whirlwind, 
Razing the romance and tenderness,
Casting sweet memories of marriage 
Even further into the chaos of hate?...

Reactions
Time drips down
The small of his back
Red streaks fill broad shoulders

Legs shake with 
Paralyzing frustration 
Twitching with hunger

The world stops
Relief rushes to fill
The space of need

Musk and sweat fill
The air
Barely masking the morning sun rise...

Black Hole
The infamous black hole
An unyielding abyss
Finding no bounds
Devouring all upon approach
A daunting  depression    

Painfully isolated 
Self inflicted torment
Twisted  into no hope
The black hole of me 
Paralyzing panic
From which I'll not be freed

Paralyzed
Black, 
Dances below my remains
In the former stretch of twilight, 
Paralyzing my daily plead.

Earths current can be sighted,
But not caressed.
Chilling the conscious
And their will to sense.

Making the sin-concealed night
Reveal the misty pit of time
To the solitary,
Whom is at fault....

You
Your scent, intoxicating
Your beauty, mesmerizing 
Your touch, invigorating
Your kiss, paralyzing

Your wisdom, underestimated
Your spunk, unsurpassed 
Your power, unrestrained
Your honesty, unparalleled

Your love, powerful
Your ambition, unbeatable
Your passions, untamable 
Your standards, impenetrable...

Loss of Creativity
You reside behind my eyeballs,
but you most enjoy paralyzing my fingertips.
You feast on the thought-clots 
plugging my brain.
You see what I once saw
because you watch what is stolen from me,
as I desperately grasp at what
was digested long ago.
When will my mind be freed?
When will my imagination be reborn?...

Silence
paralyzing the minds of the innocent
destroying the thoughts of the happy
terrifying the one who know
that silence is the devil
it makes you question
everything
it makes you think about
everything
it makes you feel mixed emotions about
everything
it eradicates from the inside out
silence, itself, is a scary thing...

Anger
Anger
On the surface, eyes closed, hands shaking
Paralyzing, soaking through my pores
Deep inside, welling within me
A rising mushroom cloud of bubbling acid
I feel it coming, but by then it’s to late
A self justified burst of atomic energy
Sweet release, hits like a runaway train
Everyone around me recoiling in fear...

Fear
Fear surrounds me; in his devious fog of doubt
His fickleness pretends to be my friend
Promising to protect me from a perilous end
Diminishing my courage into splintered heaps
I battle constantly; teetering on uncertainty
Piercing my vulnerability; Paralyzing my mobility
Stalking me on my primrose path
Tiled in miles of fool’s gold...

Nightmare
Reality screams, but I'm stuck in between the walls of my own dreams.
My eyes can't be opened, my body is frozen.
It forces me into a paralyzing trap called sleep.

Stuck in dreamland. Going nowhere.
In a never-ending nightmare.
Monsters chase me and rip me at my seams.
The world is never as it seems in the midst of the scheme of things.
I burn as my mind reigns supreme....

The days I cannot stand Noise So much noise Inside my head Paralyzing Immobilizing Attacking relentlessly Emotions So many emotions I know it can’t all be me But the sun sets And ends the riots People sleep The world quiets Peace Soothing peace Especially at 1 am Five hours later comes 6 And it starts all over again
