Shadow of Death

My shadow flirts with the sun
As I caress the darkness
We are one and separate
As my shadow smiles
Anxiety suffocates me
The shadow will soon fade
I shall die
One happy, one not

Silent Solitude

In our world,
  noise traps 
    and
 suffocates us -

 We desire fleeing
   to silent
    solitude.

Weed

Weed sprouts in my garden
it stays humble, unnoticed
grows together with crops
but suffocates most
then takes over ownership
and it laughed itself dry
when it noticed famine
biting my family

The Aristotole Files

Hate
Rage 
So strong,
It destroys
And suffocates us
Into believing it doesn't die
Our chldren will forever be infected by it
A disease that will never have an antidote but will spread like a fire season

Citylife

The brashness of crowds
Suffocates cool air at dusk
Raiding hurried urban tracks
	
No peace to behold
For invisible faces
Mocked by heaves of survival

Damn Love

It happens
When you least expect it
Its terrible
When you don’t get it
Its hard
When you want to leave it
.
.
And it suffocates
When you can’t get over it
And yes its all waste
If you choose to wait for him

Two Faced

It smiles to you
Speaks kind words
Encourages you
It's your friend

Then it turns its head
Stabs your back and suffocates your front
It destroys your name
and dares to claim - 
A different side
A different face

Survive

blackness drowns you
suffocates you slowly
creeps in
seeps in 
drowns your heart
kills your soul
your an empty shell
never to feel again
wondering through life
empty and soulless
sometimes its the only way to survive

- Keep It Wild And Cold -

                The cold winter suffocates the world with its icy breath
             dark petroleum horizon, trembling bodies - chattering teeth
           Sparkling snow crystals have yielded silver, nothing was spared

The Golden Silence

The golden silence
Honorable achievement
Some can’t complete this

Suffocates when tried
Received with no sound coming
Hearing quietness

Beauty For Ashes

Her House was ablaze,
Smoke filled each room she
Was barely alive,

Congested and faint,
A withered rose suffocates,
She fell to her knees,

Voice heard loud and clear,
Severed through the pollution,
Arise, your set free!

End of Innocence

blood suffocates my broken heart like darkness suffocates the sky 

remembrance of fog on a rainy day perception deceiving the eye 

they say time heals all wounds yet it still leaves a scar 

we can never again go back to innocence to change who we are

A Child's Death

So still in that night, 
A newborn slept quietly,
In her mother’s bed.

In that dark stillness, 
The infant suffocates.
She is gone. 

After that
this poem for her.
For her memory leaves....
a lasting impression.
of that night, that darkness,
that nightmare of stillness,

Loneliness

Loneliness is a dark vapor
That surrounds and suffocates
Chilling the soul and
Willing the self to die
But in my mind I speak
To things not easily seen
Despite the darkness and gloom
One must look towards the light
It may take reflection or reason
Perhaps the healing waters of time

Trapped Within the Fallen Curtain

The curtain drops and Ethereal hand grips me How it suffocates! I wrestle with the monstrous Draping beast to free myself. Nights when a blanket Of dense mist draping itself Across the land, I Feel the damp and moldy air Gripping me in its clutches.

Blankets

Another warm blanket 
smothering our soul;
its threads 
bound with toxins
weave through us all.

While our north
suffocates
caught in its fold,
our Inuit future
is already sold.



The hem is dripping milk
sour from the breast.

The weight of this truth
should be crushing our chest.

Wilderness

          Wild and desolate land
                    withholds hope, suffocates
               winds whip hot with warnings
        weary wanderers faint
wretched predicament.
        Where can one escape fate?
            Watch for a Redeemer.











A Pleaides Poem

She

She
The word traps me
It crawls under my skin 
And suffocates my mind
She
The word cries with me
It steals my confidence
And takes my will 
She
The word is not me
It’s known with a different heart
Called to a different mind
She
The word they call
The one they know
But she will never be me

You Cannot Have Both

Delusional by choice
Reality suffocates dreams
Sleep is only nightmares

Burned by the rising sun
Swallowed by the mouth of darkness
One eye open, the other closed

Never at total peace
Restless at all hours
Turns between life and death

Laughter and tears
Love and mourn
The other eye closes

The Lions Den

Walk of the ages step by step down pavement and dirt bare feet and linen, bark with the weight on shoulders king of king of all fiery eyes that knows thy enemy that laughs at the face of danger at first and last glance the prey that don't stand a chance of survival as he suffocates the opposition one by one

A Methylated River Flows

A methylated river flows
Through the verdant hills
It suffocates the pastures 
It maculates the mills

Its waters burn and blister
They torturously bend
To Tartarus below
They slavishly descend

I only hear the torrent
On certain times of year
When days are counted fewest
And Death is reckoned near

- the Doubt Suffocates Me -

the fear inside me

                       ripped - of thoughts that ask questions

                                    -     dressed in armor - safe

Death Phoenix

Don’t consume now.
Never.
Death Phoenix.

Spilling your ashes.
Suffocates my dreams.
Don’t rise.
Never revive.

Why don’t you die?
Why won’t you fly?
You only revolve in the sky.
Above my life as if you love to listen to my cries.
Watch my dreams die.
Every time.
Within the ashes from which you rise.

Death Phoenix.

Anger and Hate

The pain that one feels,
For no gain doth anger bring,
But hate that cometh from within,
Burns like a witch at the stake,
Suffocates like a hanged man on a noose,
Back stabs you with a blunt knife,
Like uncertain delivery from a drunken midwife,
Love and hate both have pain and strife,
But only one brings forth life.
