Suffocation Poems

Incarnation

Having been so long untouched,
I’d become a child beyond touch
and unclean.

So, when suffocatingly
roused from a nightmare of death
to unbreathable silence
in an oxygen tent, I cried

afraid of dying alone.

From somewhere
        (outside of all darkness)
you appeared
	(starched-pinafored and perfumed
	 a student nurse working nights
	 after classes)
bringer of light
restorer of air
redeemer.

At your

Suffocation

Hands
Crowd my neck
squeeze me of life
suffocate my mind
cruel 
Calculated 
Cold blooded
strangulation

The Ghost That Never Leaves Me

I met him when I was twelve years old.
He was like a shadow with no name.
He slipped inside my body,
And my fear acted like his throne.

When I'm alone,
He wraps his fingers around my throat,
Gradually fastening them,
Asking me to finish the game he started.

Through every sleepless night,
He whispers in my ears:
"I won't leave you. 
Not now,

DEAR PARENTS

Dear Parents,
We know that you love us a lot,
But sometimes, all a child need is
A little understanding from your side.

Dear Parents,
Love should not feel like an obligation,
Like something we have to repay by being perfect.
We never want you to stay in pain for us.
We never want us to be the reason you swallowed your sorrows.
But

nakedly afraid of the truth

your footsteps beat with lightning and thunder
inching closer with each bolt
as i feel your figure at my feet
i don’t dare turn my shoulder
for you might be there
with black soulless eyes
a clever grin
your hands by your sides
so i rush with caution
as the streets start to desert throughout the town
the clicks of your footsteps seem to fade
my

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!!!

Suffocation

He got buried six feet under
No eyes to see the thunder
He has no heart to feel sorry
He has no soul to feel any worry
He simply is and is all there will be
He would want a will but would fail a feeling of ease
He got buried six feet under rock and stones
Did his killer feel remorse?

The Space Between Us

Rotting away inside the living room wall
I hear you and your new family
Playing board games
Loving Monopoly 
They sound so happy
If only they knew how you disfigured me
Every time you touch the wall
I think about the plastic bag
You wrapped around my head
My cheeks blushed, turned red
Nails broke off
Trying to claw to no avail
Am I dead right

In Death

Death comes close in the night
when shadows grow and sleep envelopes, relaxing guards
who snore slumped in corners
their spears and shields useless on the ground, 
their dinner crumbs of cheese and bread 
just laying there for the rats to nibble.

Amid the sleepers and nibblers Death glides
like a mist; oppressive and still, and dead
leaving a taste, a

Suffocation

The clouds hang low, thick and dark
It reminds me of the suffocation I feel here
It is supposed to be my home, the secure native place
Drop me off in a corner here, and I should be able to navigate back
I suppose the land is lovely
Petrichor and sweltering heat plays portrait paint
Deathly beauty, stifling beauty
Rules I do

Suffocation

Breathing is affected today.
We're feeling like a shortage of adequate breath.
No, it's not for the closeness of lovers,
or not for their instincts awake,
but the bell of death.
It is ringing all over the world,
we are about to fall.
Though we had fallen before from humanity,
but now it has no effect to feel sorrow, feel guilty at all.
Once

Suffocation

Soul on fire fueled by deceit, insanity assumed power while fear controls our streets. Who can we follow when there's no one left in charge. Despite quiet whispers repeating another dead end.
I remain heartbroken but chest is still beating hard. Miserable at best hearing echoing confessions, self neglecting guilt, war is supposed to fight for

Suffocation

Trees blowing in the wind of the moment
Now flowing they lend nothing at, towards
To them they speak the language, sacrament
The love of the daylight hours with awards
Seeing a lady sounding scraping swords
Feeling the bark of the tree suffocate
Like a smash in the stomach, penetrate
Leaving a mark of breathlessness, no sound
Taking the toll of whispers, signals

Suffocation

I dreamt of you last night
I felt strangled in my sleep
You loved me so fiercely
A feeling I didn't know
I ran from you
Just to keep my sanity
I realize each day the mistake I made
It suffocates me to the point of pain
You walked in the day 
I walked in the night
I was the dark 
And you were

Sweet Suffocation

I'm drowning and no one is around to save me. The water is filling my lungs and muffling my voice so my screams go unheard. you're the brick tied to my ankles and I can't get the knots untied. I can't even get them loose. I can hear the voices above the water telling me
