Short Suffocated Poems

The pesky fly comes
in aimlessly, then drops-
Suffocated by Raid....

Quite suffocated,
chugging a salty water.
Drowned to shout for help....

Suffocated, grief,
Birds silent, mourning softly,
Slowly swallowed whole....

onus
traps me inside
myself -- suffocated.
to love but be unloved -- my cross 
to bear....

Surrounded by indifference,
Swamped by ignorance,
Suffocated by illusion,
Starved by idiocy,
We stumble on....

an idea suffocated by conversation
a stifling situation completely misread 
rhyming words falling apart
so I'll dream up some others instead...

close the eyes to your heart
Now hold your breath...
How do you feel?
Suffocated? 
Dead?
Lost?
Hopeless?
Frustrated?
Well, that's how you make me feel...

 I'm filled with such emotion-
That my chest tremors with the earth itself.
I can't-
Breathe.

Thoughts of-

You.

Have suffocated-

Me. ...

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.....

Eleven items in a ten and under lane
This act and murder are exactly the same
Suffocated to death
Till no more breath
Deserved for trying to get ahead of the game...

Compressed separation, reality unveiled
Suffocated freedom, identity confronted
Coalesced spaces, vision uncharmed
Memory inscription, chapter closed
Closeness obscure

The floor crumbles
as thousands of cockroaches
running away from grief,
a fire that consumes them,
letting a hopeless condemn, 
a tragic, helpless landscape
suffocated in dire and ashes...

she climbed a big man
hoping to be suffocated by flesh
and not have to think
you can't rescue everyone her husband said
wisely
he turned and walked to the barn
leaving her with streaks of green
on her face...

Sell my soul by the gram
empty on the inside
surrounded by ghosts
careful of my step
I walk on eggshells
around puddles of pain
suffocated by clouds of angst
in fear of tomorrow
and the consequence
today may bring...

Depression extreme
I feel only darkness near
I’m suffocated
By sadness, the trials within
Holds me with a hopeless fate

It's 6 AM in the morning and I'm wide awake,
Insomnia has been a close friend, and so is heartache. 

When I can't sleep I write poems;
they're my anodyne to dull me to sleep,

When I get suffocated 
by all the wicked things I keep....

Suffocated by lonliness
Gasping for air
So lost in this world of darkness
Strangled perpetually by the hands of despair

There is a storm on the horizon
The phoenix wants to rise
I face this army fearlessly
I possess the tigers eyes...

Like the blood spilt in a lifetime;
Just dripping down the drain
Like an overflowing street being suffocated by the rain.

The devil and all its evil escaping into
Everywhere and anywhere,
No one can hide from the redness
Of evil,
It’s all around us....

these thoughts have been in my mind

for 39 years

they have been

sequestered

submerged

suffocated

inside desks

inside books

inside traffic jams

that’s where they’ve been

they are coming out now

capitalism’s crisis

is drawing these out

like wildfire

and waterfalls...

verses gnomic verses
limericks sonnets haiku
poetry bottled
suffocated caged
waiting for liberation
senryu tanka cinquain
crystalline nonnets acrostics
terrible,ballad ballade bucolics
poetry packed into bottles
odes no more kings or queens
still we bottle up poetry...

I feel suffocated nowadays
amidst the pollution spreading at a fast pace
but I do see friendly hands approaching,
they save me at a situation that's life taking.
They are the reason our world still has some warmth
Let's conserve those plants before they are completely lost.......

A prayer for our household friend
Please bow our heads

Dear Little Fellow,

We’re very sorry 
you are dead
suffocated in the trap

Hope 
your last supper 
was enjoyable:  homemade roasted pine nuts
May you find peace
in mouse heaven
Reunite with your love ones

Aman...

Drowning in the darkness
suffocated by the cool air
Breathing in forgiveness
yet not exhaling all the confusion
Frustration 
comes to seek 
While I run to find
the path already chosen
That way we will succeed
I'll win this battle with all my might
For your love I'll always fight...

I feel suffocated
By the bounds of a
Chainfilled marriage
Even though I am not a part of it
But a product of it

Every pain
Every shout
Every scream
Every fight
I feel it as if it were me
I feel its heavyness
I feel its depression
I feel its walls closing in on me

And I want to be free...
