underground secrets
suppressed for seventeen years 
no wonder they're loud

Her Smiles and Laughter

Her smiles and laughter
Endure in everyone’s soul
Usually persisting
In form of inactive volcano
With suppressed magma
Watch out
Eruption any time

rumbling discontent
suppressed passion seeking air
steaming stained tears
evolution’s resurgent
blossomed introspection

Their blushing cannot be suppressed
Green tomatoes have this protest:
Lettuce fresh out of bed
Turns us shades of red
When we watch that salad get dressed

The Poet

To look and search for the elegant word.
Seeking an emotion never expressed.
Expressing a thought that cuts like a sword.
Conveying a concept that is suppressed.


Premium Member Holocaust Exhaust

slab of smokey concrete sky
swirls like swarms of ashen hands 
reaching away from skeletal grief 
someone's suppressed tears dissolved 
~another's anguish ignited

Premium Member Let the Sun Shine

inhibited
by the shackles of low esteem
she staggers 
under the weight
of suppressed emotions

Freedom To Go Insane

Allow yourself
The freedom to go completely insane

Our existence
Is not meant to be
Suppressed, manicured, and precisely arranged

There's a lion living inside
The realms of the beating heart

Darkness-The Hour of Self-Expression

Darkness
A locus for expression of tears
Muffled thoughts grow vociferous
Suppressed emotions arise uprighteous
Societal demands and self interests lock horns
only to be put to rest before dawn

Suppressed Desires

when life crushes your desires
one after another
what do you do?
you crush your own desires
it is painful
but when others crush, pain is more

The Trap

Its flow an accordion,
to stretch and compress
A double delusion,
old memory suppressed
New moments upon us,
the instant revealed
Time claiming them all
—redundant concealed

Best

BEST
In life, everybody tries to be the best
But they don't know how to care for the rest
Everything is be suppressed
Except for something deep in the deepest nest

Premium Member A Palimpsest of Emotions

The lanes of Yew trees
in the Garden of Remembrance 
cast long shadows 
over the wilting wreaths of regret. 
The miasma 
of the colophons
inscribed
superseded by
the suppressed vignettes
at each service held.

Victim Blaming

Oppressed and suppressed
Facing hate speech
Rude snarky remarks
Unsympathetic sympathies
Bully laughs
Bizarre comments
Negative feedback.
Note.Victim Blaming is common in Pakistan.
Stop meddling and mind your own business.

Premium Member The Thrill of Her Hand

The thrill of her hand slipping into yours
     or her cheek searching out your neck

  That weakness in the back of the knees
     the lump in the throat that can't be suppressed

        ~ How did I let these memories evanesce

Suppression

Were suppressed
The kids are depressed
The scary tango till death
We scream till were out of breath
It’s dangerous
We dance beneath the stars
While covered in scars
We march to the dead beat
Till the death tastes sweet

Songs of Wababu 5

Words are suppressed before actions prevail.
Feelings are denied before intentions laid.
Their are many of us who want you,
but only one matters.
We all chatter your name in STORIES OF MEN,
but still as the day falls my feelings rise for you.

Your Great " I Am "

And there you stand
with your hands on hips
telling the world why.
You liar; misguided fool.
Part of you is lost
suppressed in infinite
to be found with your great I AM;
free of distortion.
You will feel your pure pain;
the lot you were given.

I Am Conscious

I am oppressed,

suppressed,
enslaved,
robed and raped.

was thrashed,
insulted and killed.

but I am alive,
by my conscious,

I won't surrender,
and compromise

don't they know?
Who am I ?

I AM _conscious
and conscious never die____

Today's Now Tomorrow

Speak to me, 
with those words, 
that only you can say

Whisper softly 
the very thoughts 
that come into your mind

Let your tongue 
express the feelings 
that seem to be suppressed

So we can make 
them all come true, 
leaving yesterday behind

Sleeveless

bare shoulders ripple
straining with unseen weight
scarred biceps bulge
saturated by interior rain
veins bursting forth
exploding from darkness
forearms swell abnormally
hiding suppressed emotion
fingers clutch frantically
for a heart shattering......
