Snap Poems - Poems about Snap

A stolen life. A split-second decision. Disorganised thoughts, jumbled— Tangled around an anaesthetised cortex. Clocks mockingly ticking, Ticking down inevitability, As a lone fly buzzes relentlessly around my head. Swatting at it—it returns mere moments later, Pestering, always just out of reach, Festering like a wound reopening, oozing with persistence. As the slant of the harvest moon traverses its way through splinters in the...

Dry logs redden and snap; The fire is soon impressive. The wolf moon takes better shape As night begins to settle in. I watch the conflagration spike; A spark flies off, then others Like the universe had coaxed them To become one of the stars....

[Verse] He snaps into me in all the right ways in all the right places that magic phrase he completes me says what I am feeling Excites my breathing gets me worked up and on fire lights up my hearts desire How could he walk away? how could he leave that way? Our love now in memories never fully realized And now I am left with a half open...

It’s not for lack of intelligence My inhibitor is on the fritz A frontal lobe phenomena I’m prone to gaffes and fits My amygdalae are loaded A hair trigger set to snap Sometimes words escape me Like rats outsmarting a trap ...

As I pivot to confront my offspring, I anticipate the sight of terror etched in their innocent eyes, a reflected horror that would mirror the abyssal darkness that has long resided within me. Instead, I am greeted by vacant gazes and uncanny grins, a chilling, mimicry of innocence that belies the sinister, nascent awareness that has...

Get in your room now,” as daddy fashioned a gun. Mom grabbed me and her facial expression was undone, something must be wrong, I ask she looked at me and welts started to run, down we hunkered under the bed hidden by overhanging covers. A howl and a crash with two gunshots and I gasped, fathers voice had me took aback, he...

Snap of The Past Forgotten A fragile snapshot trapped in time, A smile etched deep within my mind, One moment captured, yet so profound, An image shared, yet now all alone. As memories fade like morning dew, What once seemed clear becomes a blur, And through we yearn for those golden days, We hold onto love, through it may pass away. Thus speaks...

I bought a winter coat today; It didn’t have a tag, But when I asked the price, it was A bargain I could snag. It fit me to a T, although Another coat in black Is something that I do not need, Though I could take it back. I tried it on again at home; My husband gave the nod, Yet in the pocket was...

Do you feel the chaotic concerto? The cloaked and clandestine composer Plucking at the ivory keys, exactly eighty eight With even more ways to tangle those Countless red strings of taut linear fate. To be a being, we first must begin To begin, we must be born, then torn From the lively, slick, loud, and slimy link Of mother’s umbilical cord, now Cut. Cartwheel your...

I watch the world I know it's spinning off it's axis I'm sure should I ever find balance That will be the day the world ends Perhaps all the energy of the broken people Sends an unknown, unseen force out Mixing and colliding With the world and gravitational pull and black holes and shooting stars To buy us a bit of time To fix...

DO NOT PROD THE SLEEPING BEHEMOTH For in his wake, all donned in hope Torn enraged to tattered shreds of cloth Matters not to the blood lusting oaf Crimson tinted visions Through obstreperous milky orbs View a costly vital decision One any could ill afford Be urged to tiptoe in silence Round the pent up snoring goon For he's dreamt for moons of wreaking violence Drooling...
