In Drought Thirsty Dies

mind's suffocation
                                 midst of hearts' intervention 
                                     in drought thirsty dies

The Decoration

The water-pool was 
thickly covered with
roses;
a decoration for the
marriage.
The fishes in the pool
died after some time
due to suffocation.

Some days later the
roses rotted.

Long live the
newly-weds!

Under Your Gaze

Lost, drowning under your gaze 
Lost words of an unspoken time 
Anger locked up and no where to escape 
Lost, drowning under your gaze 
Hidden by my cloak of love 
Fearless until your drowning gaze 
Tears of suffocation 
entering my immortal wound
sad

Suffocation, is that the word
For this lessening strength within?
This discomfort needing fresh air
Gently stirring, encouraging
How can I pack treasures to move?
"Stuff" to go, and then, begin.

Echoing Slogans of Life

The shying of success
When thou call to success
To overcome temptation 
and suffocation.
Adaptation of beneath
And low underneath
Befall upon the falling
Scheming of town and 
properties.
Patience is the overcomer
extremely.
Don’t be in a hurry
It will be your turn sooner.

Pandemi

As easy as the air you breathe but can't see.
Blind to the airless suffocation.Speechless for your last breathe. Gasping to be cleansed choking to death.The lights dim then bright again. Wasn't the first time. Won't be the last.Do you feel the routine of pestilence.

Insomnia

Long night
                lingers longer and longer
                in our insomnia...
                We inhabit her and I,
                the same space, and the
                even suffocation...
               What is our insomnia?
               friend, enemy....

Interpretation

INTERPRETATION
The clouds darken my mind for your interpretation
The universes brighten our souls for their implication
There is nothing can be replaced for everything of realization
Anything can become stunning suffocation

Escape

They escape 
Through a small opening 
On the side of my head 

Liquid skin becoming cellophane 
An accessory to suffocation
Tries to trim the threats
Of an unfurled canvas 

In my pocket
Artauds’ anguish
Stitches together absurd reasoning 
One kiss tooled the empire
Only the smart escape

Immorality

Immorality

dishonourable
bad
sad
sour
and
a bitter form of life
that drives one into a deep hole
astray
a wrong direction
on an uneven path
with sinful mentality
a dirty mind
a serious suffocation of life
error
wrong intentions
unacceptable behaviour
unethical.

Clouds

Thick
Surrounding
As though you were alone
On stage

Swallow
Your whole world submersed
In white

Hills 
Shrouded in suffocation

Water
Covered
Like a giant Lilly-pad

High-ice
Like teeth
Baring down on the Earth

The sun
Painting
Different shades of hues
Spectacular, like the Clouds

Thought

The taste of fresh air
Feels so much better
When life feels like
A long string pulling.

The breath of air
Between two people
Gives that string of life a heartbreak —
A pause in suffocation.

“No” as a pause
becomes a beautiful word to hear.
And “sharing” feels
Closer to better
Than bitter.

Depression

SOULLESS AND FADED
WITH THE SUN DROPPING PAST HOPE
BLACK CLOUDS ERASING THE SHINING BEACONS 
NOTHING LEFT TO PREVENT THE SUFFOCATION 
NO WARMTH OR LUSTER REMAINING AS DEFENSE
STAGGERING WAVES OF RAVEN DAGGERS
MURKY FLASHES, ONLY REMNANTS OF ILLUMINATION
SUFFOCATED INTO MINOR EXISTENCE
TRAGIC DESPAIR TURNED TO SOUR GLEE

Premium Member Suffocation

Keep the eyes and palms in the sunlight.
Lest they deem you a petty thief.
Leave the brain in the blue of the shade.
Lest it overload, then quickly burn away.

As for the heart, keep it locked away.
Deep in a fortified ribcage.
Give the key to a cloud above a stream.
So, nobody can see or hear it scream.
Into a silent oblivion.

Smoke

Stuck in a haze, vision’s all gray,
Room like a maze, I cannot stay
Mind is a blaze.
Choking on ash, trying to thinks fast
Thoughts will not amass, body’s about to crash.
Last moments starts to flash, 
Suffocation ends at last.

Short Letter to myself

Hey girl!
Sleeping with a heavy heart still?
Unquestionably, I understant!
I understand the anxiety,
the pain, the depression
of things not going your way.
Unquestionably, I understand!
I understand the weight,
the suffocation, the desolation.
But hold up still,
Wipe off tears still,
And Hit the road,
For, the journey ain't over yet!!!

Inhale

Inhale


my heartbeat slows,
blood sluggish
through stenotic vessels
unwilling to expand,
to breathe
to let blood flow

untenable, this suffocation
this dampening
it speaks of tired eyes,
of stolid limbs,
of stultified need

torpid blood,
when will you give up
your self-imposed stricture,
your closely guarded fear,
your wariness

and inhale

Unsure

Never follow, never lead
Feels like suffocation
Until I breathe
Some things as sweet, as a bitter pill
Regrets are common,
Or against your will
Does the heart cry 
As the soul does rejoice
Are we involuntarily beings
Without a choice
Can we ever find comfort in failure
Or sorrow in success 
Maybe go to the mountains
Write poetry to relieve stress...

Fairy Tales

It’s what fairy tales are made of
Those moments that 
Make the heart stop
The flutter
The onset of love

But reality crashes in waves 
And it wasn't the right
Time, person, place
It wasn't a movie
It wasn't a fairy tale

I expected a warm embrace
But it was suffocation
I was stripped of my being
Because what was once mine
And mine alone
Is now his to hold

Premium Member Webs Abandoned

Spider long ago abandoned Flown away and left his home Sticky mess entangled caught you Struggle in duress for life You find yourself a victim Too invisible formidable Forces silk like steel designed The more you struggle deeper still No longer for a purpose Lingers death like suffocation Crucifixion makes a statement All for mercy will the spider kill

Curse

Competence adheres to truth
The affliction begins to throb
Fracturing the enchantment
Paralyzing compassion

Yearning for the illusion
To break from the mind
Materialize into undeniable
Ensure the lighthearted

Initiation of dissipation
Retention collapsing
Reality emerges
Ecstasy subsides

A feared colloquy
An aphotic chasm ensues
Suffocation in isolation
The curse of infatuation

Some nights sleep without us

When my eyes fold,
they go not to rest,
they fall into rivers that flow behind the retinas 
this is a painting of unfulfilled dreams dancing in lonely grave
 
Suffocation is the metaphor for staying awake at 2am,
to demonstrate image of pain 
as i await the monster folded in my bones to break fast 
depression becomes the invisible bug that flies on the skin of nights.

Yea Baby Spit On Me

Yea baby! Spit on me!
Tell me how hot ignorance by masses turns you on
Talk dirty to me, vulgarity by race gets me wet with anxiety
Slap my butt, and remind me of just how much of a bottom feeder I really am
You make me so excited to see the new  S&M 
Sin & Money
Marketed by the Europeans, enhanced by the Americans
Come join my latex nightmares for erotica suffocation of morality!

Ashes of Sound

Ash
It falls
And lay still 
Burning city
But it’s still my home 
Smoke clouds inhabit skies 
And skyscrapers crumble down
We watch from the cliffside and mourn 
A disaster soundtrack lacking sound 

We only hear the ashes falling 
Everything we loved, now debris 
The sun charred over with greed 
Memories in piles 
The darkness warns me
Suffocation 
We lay still 
And breathe
Dross

Cubes (Cubes (Cubes))

Cubes boil in suffocation.
As cubes inject with insemination.
Cubes fall over with abandonment.
How the cubes sing out lament.

Cubes of purple red and black.
Help the cubes find out what they lack.
Cubes become a mental state.
When eighteen cubes begin debate.

Cubes cannot tell help depression.
Because they are not in session.
Cubes dissolve and become nought.
Helpless cubes cannot be bought.
