Strangled Poems

strangled in her own messy maze

Her mood was somber, gloomy, macabre, sad.
Napping all day, nothing made her feel better.
It was raining out, terrific day for a funeral.
Too bad she does not know any dead people.

She returned to her bed, hating herself.
Missing her therapy appointment, but not caring.
Too down to want to get back up.
Her house is a hoarder’s house.

There are

Strangled Star

Sounds of burning water lilies
Disorient the future contours,
A shivery breath fills
My cheery corner.


The blazing shadow of the sun crushes
The sphinx of my star,
And the promises dissolve
Before the strangled star.

Strangled

one at a time
thought forms climbing
love’s chime throttled

Strangled Justice

Just another siren roadkill:
A low-down, 
rabid raccoon resisting arrest
at high noon
A feral noted asphalt death

So says the official pol-pol report
In a Terminator monotone
was the desk commandant’s
brass tact,  swastika vapor retort

Abel-bodied justice, sho’ nuff — 
A redacted cam footage snuff
Grim fire Cain desire,
hate-lust displayed 
when coldly 
slapping on the Reaper cuffs

Tar baby fetal prone pinned

Strangled

I'm feeling strangled,
but I'm not being strangled.
I try not to think,
but it's still there,
staring into my eyes,
with that stupid look.
I kicked, I screamed,
but one dark moment,
it will only stay,
strangling the rest of my life.

Strangled By a Godel

(Based on the seemingly-paradoxical logic behind Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem, in which the self-referential Gödel statement can only be seen to be true from outside the system.)

I cannot believe that this statement is true.
Don’t try to convince me; you’d turn my face blue.
I’m choked by its verdict whatever I do.
The freedom to see it belongs to

Strangled Whispers

Devilish cavalries and blazing hoofs.
Over-crowded graveyards and watery roofs,
Strangled whispers of colorless pain; I breathe.
Unemotional embrace and freezing wreath.
The scene is desolate, forlorn and inhumanely cold,
I got those feelings of abandoned cemeteries and wrinkles old.

When We Have Strangled Virtue At Her Birth

When we have strangled virtue at her birth
And evil thoughts are all that we can find
We cannot take a draught of cheerful mirth;
Escape from this black prison in the mind.

When friendship and esteem have been foregone
And lone as buzzards circling are our hearts.
Remembrance of past joys will never come
And soon from us the last love

Strangled Dictum

you panted for air as panic pained 
   as the young life in you drained
   a ghastly gagged youthful life 
   strangled dictum…

   and relatives chocked with grief
   as friends shocked with disbelief
   seeing your destiny you would not reach
   strangled

Strangled Destiny

Through the peep hole of  Egyptian darkness shackled by conquerors hypnotic scheme 
awaits the incarnate spirit of Ra.

Summoned to defend the skies of eternity and the land of death 
against the traitors to the throne of the sun god
peace in these savage times shall be your curse.
may your conscience be your pillow  
and

Strangled
By Kevin Robey
March 6, 2013

The invisible man gripping at my throat
Gargled sounds are audible but remote
Gripping my wrists, and holding me down
Think I’ll drown, darkness closing all around

I feel the pain, the knife in my heart
But never felt that I played my part
This isn’t the image you had of me
The steady hands you’ll never see

I

Strangled and Mangled By the Estranged

To know a man

to know a man
is to know what he expects
without him telling you

know what he hates
know what he loves
know what he wants

without a word said
his desires are understood
and prepared for him on a platter

but, once love, respect, and honor
has left the marriage, it becomes
all for nothing

there's nothing i can say that matters
nothing i

Strangled Intentions

You were the gasoline
To the flame inside
I was lost in between
Your fame and my pride.

You want me back
Your interruption is late
This heart is turning black
As corruption spawns hate.

But I'll let it go
As we all forget the past
Only if I surely know
This time it's going to last.
