Denial

safe in the cocoon
  of sweet shock and disbelief
     cocoons become tombs
       moths suffocate and wither
          rather than fly to the flame

Doubts' Seeds

doubts' seeds grow tendrils. . . .
invade deep childhood beliefs
and suffocate faith

Suffocated Soul

Break your narrow, thought cage..
Don't suffocate soul, with wrathful rage..
Keep yourself calm, always up to sigh..
Don't prison yourself more, than your zealous age..

Abyss

Skulls on the wall of this dark abyss
Forever looking for the end 
Suffocate diminished air
O' endless pit of doom
Why do you insist 
Upon making 
Me suffer?
Please help
Me!

The Last Chapter

Surrounded by friends I never met
I suffocate
In the vortex of my own distress
Desires unfulfilled
Memories burned... and broken quill
The last page of the book, empty
As am I

Darkness Dies

We suffocate the light and let the darkness in.
We massacre our angels to let our demons win.
So afraid of knowing where our purpose lies.
We'll find ourselves where the darkness dies.

Exhiliarate and Should Suffocate

Our energy has caused us all to exhilarate,
Once all the Trump supports will suffocate,
They have resigned;
Removed from mind,
While what they do with devil is to negotiate.

A Cobras Words

The words said to me
Well they're not very kind
They keep me up late at night
And tear me up inside
They suffocate me
And slither through my mind
Then like a cobra closing in
They strike

Dark Parts

Denial, a painful slow killer;
Perfection cannot be achieved;
Your soul starts to suffocate 
as it trips on your flaws;
Moods swing low to high;
All types of me?
Explosive;
Dark parts 
shine.

change

change
is all so sudden

like a caterpillar
in their cocoon
wondering if
they will emerge as a beautiful butterfly
or suffocate in its
supposed coffin
or brand new
space to grow and learn

Shackled Art

Blue
Divine 
Shine
Madonna and Child
Suffocate the Papal decreed 
Sowed the seeds 
Indoctrinated godly status
Art distorted the power courted 
For Church convention 
Hidden shackled 
Never to tackle

Sadness

Sadness is about to consume me.
Joy no longer abides in my heart.

If one was to take a knife and cut
into me gloom is what you will find.

I can't breathe I'm about to suffocate
from a profound darkness aka
SADNESS.

Loneliness

Loneliness can be favored But not fancied Loneliness can over power you, Your thoughts taking over control Loneliness is quiet, Its isolation will suffocate you If you're in loneliness Far too long

My Pack Rat Eye Tis

accumulation
choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly

My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company

Equality

Justice is not equality,
Freedom is not fairness.

It's better to admit you don't understand;
than to torture the hopeless.

Waiting for peace on earth,
you dare to hold your breath.

So I'll let you suffocate;
We're equal in death.

In the Midst of My Madness

In the midst of my Madness,
Encountered, I, my Fate
It sang to me a song of Sadness:
That my Soul would suffocate!
Death doth drip in doleful fits;
It asks, "What have you to give?"
A thousand hearts of atoms split
In the place where Love once lived...

Snapping Turtle-Old

Youth's stream of dancing diamonds
a sparkling frolic without ending
a burst of naïve beauty before the fall
at the brink-the pinnacle of big dreams
youth crashes into the cold rocks below
diamonds suffocate in the dirty foam
In a flash, youth is snapping turtle old.

A Channel of Thoughts

routines
     always
       stagnate
suffocate
    as they
        envelop
dreams
    in
       silent
         confections:
beauty
&dignity
     disappear
in
abstract
uniformity
     consumed
     by
     chance,
dwindle,
diminish
die
without
     purpose

Acrostic Symbols

Lunar observation  -  vehement eclipse
Insolvable notions suffocate ideas. Dead ends.
Naked  - onerous  - torrent
Dilute obviate
Silent torment inside lost lacuna
Energize vexation   -   every rationalization
Yourself -  odious   -  unquiet

End.

Kindness

It can be too sweet.
Kindness can numb the tongue and irritate.
It can be too sweet,
but it can keep one from claiming defeat.
Causing the disinclined to suffocate,
or keeping locked away death’s early gate;
it can be too sweet.

Who Are You

who are you? 
that you should
come into my heart
to kill me 
to suffocate me
to burn me up.
Who are you?
that you should
break up my fallow ground
penetrate my darkness
stir up my emotions.
Who are you?
that you should
fill me
burst me
surround me
with love,
lover?

Untitled 3

Murderer of my dreams,
how you suffocate them
like newborn babies,
claiming they were born wrong:
an inbuilt cancer,
an innate illness.

I can't help but sit beside
their little graves
and peek into
their open coffins,
entranced by their empty insides;
Marry me or bury me with them.

Suffocating

Watching me

my personal

spy

you think

you're a
fly guy

just not
as good

as I

over my
shoulder

you watch

you wait

as you
suffocate

me

I can't
breathe

you're all
over my

ass

will this

pass

I hope so

cause

I can't bare

the 
pressure

of your
stare

you're

always

there



watching....

Slice of the Knife

one slice of the knife.
i see bloodshed.
im free to break away from these chains that suffocate my soul. 
nothing left but blood on the floor. 
no more pain. 
im done with the game of life 
someday it may make sense
but all i see it death. 
break it down 
crush it 
take my heart 
no more pain
