Short Siphoning Poems

Lines and Lines

I live, I die for lines,
not the nose siphoning
mind blowing 
heart racing kind.

I live, I die
for ink-injected
comely designed lines
the heart fluttering kind.

Blind obedience is slavery.
Freedom siphoning governments count on your blind obedience.
I was just doing my job.
It's not my fault I maim and, murder.
My personal ethics and, morals disappear as I am blindly obedient....

Metal thou art not,
Ye alchemists’ Majestic Aluminium
Thou regal geometric shape with equillibrium
Siphoning H2O to the nether world,
Making us not to rot,
Metal thou art not.

Internally, I am at peace
Making the most of those
Idle moments
Simply siphoning every last
Second of sanity
Yet there is the yearning
Opening the dusty heart has risks
Undeniable, soulful yearning...

Still the bone remained....
Pulling on his chain; ever snarling
A tug of war with, her tree as meat loaf 
Became his dreams and gobble said the turkey
Unto her queen bee ? Blue bishops atop pogo sticks a fly
With one big eye siphoning the marrow from time's sparrow; slobbering
Their madman howls holy cow his orange cat meows wow, where has Alice gone....

as midnight strikes
Count Dracula
sweeps across the floor
his piercing onyx eyes
locked on his prey
executes with artful grace
his macabre dance seduction

in one captivating swoop
charming the panting victim
she offers it up
as he sinks his teeth
siphoning  from the porcelain neck
her ruby essence

The Sprite
Sprite, Sprite sucking light
Siphoning thoughts and might

Who is watching
To determine your border?
What mind will expose you?
Who will betray me?

Where did you come from?
Is it original sin
Or someone closer?
Is their purpose in 
Your gravity?

Who will lift her head and cease accusing?
From whence cometh my help?

Jehovah Rapha
I settle in your palm.

You are greater than the Sprite.
I rest in You...

You make me crazy
Every moment drenched in gold
You take hold of me
Like a love story once told
Swinging in the park
Enveloped by the sun
Young in love & full of wonder
Never wondering about the future
Taking pictures
Remembering how we used to be
Running in the rain
Siphoning the pain
Swimming in pools of blue
Staring at me, I stare at you
Wanting us to remain frozen in time
I have you on repeat
In the corners of my mind....

Let your soul stain the paper
Like your blood stains the floor
Smearing squalls of liquidated life
On the palms of your scribbled war

Squeeze your heartache with your hand
Like a sermon spills a pariah’s plight
Cleansing the sins of your visceral voice
With the tears from which you write

Strain the sediment of your strife
Like starvation scavenges a gutted shore
Siphoning the spoils of weeping wounds
Dripping from the lines of your lore...

Your cool as frost stare,
while coyly playing peek-a-boo
from behind a fan of clouds,
has kept your wanton visage burned
upon mans imagination.
You have mystified for eons,
with a slowly batting eye.
Drawing upon our souls,
as a tree draws moisture.
Slowly, yet surely siphoning our lust.
Men have stepped a kiss upon
your delicately powdered face.
You have left them craving more.

Out beyond the window
Deep within the sky
My eyes trace the light
The specks of hope
So few in the cascade of night

How can it be possible
To stare yonder
And be swallowed 
Falling in an abyss
Flailing for a holding

Twisting in my gut
An unwanted knowing
Shredding my being
Siphoning liquid from eyes
Destroying all that was

Binding me to the specks
Only able to observe
Undiscovered in the darkness
When the time comes to be your star
I’ll already have become a black hole...

Gravity
Sprite, Sprite sucking light
Siphoning thoughts and might

Who is watching
To determine your border?
What mind will expose you?
Who will betray me?

Where did you come from?
How did you invade 
MY PRIVATE UNIVERSE?
Is it original sin
Or someone closer?
Is their purpose in 
Your gravity?

Who will lift her head and cease accusing?
From whence cometh my help?

Jehovah Rapha
I settle in your palm.

You are greater than the Sprite.
I rest in You...

There’s a God, under my hat 
        hangs out, to pick my brains
        Has one interest, on his mind 
        he judges my ill gotten gains 

        There’s a Devil in my pocket 
        he’s there siphoning off veins
        Sometimes tops up my wallet
        wanting my soul in exchange 

        The hat and pocket have holes 
        but on balance, cause no pain 
        My soul may be lost to money 
        luckily my brain, has free rain

Blowing through my area for a few days
gust making temperature bitterly cold  
rushing underneath my coat; soo bold
penetrating my layers of clothing and boots
siphoning my body natural warmth 
hands throbs with pain; gloves no help
feet and face froze noticeably numb
leg bones stiffening as I continue to step  
restricting my singing and dancing blood flow
left me feeling empty, cold, and stiff head to toes
wondering, "are you trying to steal my heart and soul?"
