Sulphuric Poems | Examples

Premium MemberMILL TOWN

In town of Holy Face, now Halez Fax 
Are rows of back-to-backs in terraces 
Between the mills that spill their thick black smoke.   
Industry now dominates hill and dale.     
Manufacture is master with muscle.
Sulphuric fumes poison the once green hills
Turning the trees to charcoal skeletons.

The peaceful sound of silence that once was 
Is killed by loud clatter from textile mills
And clogs clomping up the steep cobbled streets
With steel segs grinding on the granite setts  
As folk trudge to-and-fro in day’s routine,
Between the terrace rows of back-to-backs
In that old mill town known as Halez Fax.

Premium MemberSulphuric Poems

And I lose 
In the sulphur
Of the loss.
I'm pushing forth,
All guile,
While all the while,
The world spins around.
Turning with it
Bursting 
With light and sound.

Premium MemberUniversally Yours

Universally yours she never bequeaths an empty womb 
because she is space, containing the sparkle of all eternity 
She is a matchstick sulphuric light that never extinguishes 
but churns into the deep without dupe, full of blue   

cherry bomb thoughts arrive at the base of my skull to rev 
the fantasy of a magical combustion made by great intent
She's a star shine chit  made for wishing, only jarred  
by the purple hues of my dreams, she's quite a sight   

universally ours she caresses our eyes with an explosion 
of atoms and molecules alike.  An element of chemistry 
she's a wash bath of cool, like the sighs of an evening high
planetary surprises await while we barely open the gate 

so transfixed are we by mundanity that we never deem 
the mystery of her capacious heart.  Only God is privy to 
her masterpiece from on high.  She is not a sophomore  
but rather an antiquity that fascinates me to no end .

Premium MemberFire Shouts

Voices of fire, booming, 
crackling explosions cry out their sulphuric elation.

Another celebration, of every nation and 
baby new year’s rattle rings out to the heavens;
transition is sometimes sweet; sometimes sour.

Hopes ride high for the coming months; dreams’ 
are revived by Father time’s passing.  
Like the phoenix, he will rise again; 
his labors fill the days and nights of mortal illusion.

It’s said that, we create our own reality; 
if so, why does he labor through every incarnation?  
Could it be that we are he?

Fire shouts to our collective subconscious 
and we are renewed; 
an opportunity to create peace lies ahead.  
Happy New Year it cries; a new reality waits.

Chemistry

Our friends used to say that the two of us had chemistry. Their little in house joke.

Strangers took it to mean we got along great.

What they actually meant was stable when separate abut volatile when mixed.

It was true. Though I was blind to it at the time.

How could I not be? I was in love.

He was everything. The other half of me.

I felt it whenever he was near.

Maybe that was the chemistry?

Like sodium and sulphuric acid; slowly fizzing, heating up and up and up until the inevitable explosion that finally tears through destroying everything in its 
path.

It was a long time coming.

But when it came it hit hard and fast and left little unscathed.

He was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I'll never say any different. Even now.

But he was also the worst of me.

And I was the worst of him.

It was no one's fault really.

Not his. 

Not mine.

We just...had chemistry.

Never Again

5/24/17



Not going to adjourn
Since you never learn
Going to make you squirm
More than a worm
With a stance that is firm
Then make you burn
So that you never return
Showing no concern

No more chances
Or free passes
You'll find out what happens
Over such foolish actions
When you are thrown into sulphuric acid
Or taken out through using gases
Then put below the grasses
And any branches
The universe continues on, as the scales tilt or balance
Whether it was done in good will or from being callous

Once or twice
Might not take your life
But make you pay the price
With the ultimate sacrifice
The outcome chosen by a roll of the dice
Since you never took advice
I think this should suffice
And if not then it will not end nice
Getting eaten alive by rats and mice


Too late to take back what you said
Going to bring you to the edge
And toss you from the ledge
Doesn't matter where you land or if it's on a hedge
So long as you remain dead
Oh well many other lifeforms will get fed
Body parts including the head, brought back to a den
Never seen or heard from again

A New Age of Darkness

The era of darkness is near,

I can smell the ground starting to rot.

The penetrating scent of Fetidity

Assaulting the nostrils of pure souls.

 

With the putrid scent goes along,

Your last uncontaminated Exhalation.

There goes the only hope you had

For by tomorrow all this will be dematerialized.

 

The sulphuric spoor consuming nonstop,

Leaving behind traces of what once was.

Vast Emptiness within the dark realms,

Something is missing, but nothing to be found.

 

Unseen corpses embalmed in raw eggs,

Reaching out through the increasing pressure.

Flesh and blood mixed with perturbed fear,

Despair, Misery and an unruly urge to imbibe.

 

Sulphurous Aroma caressing your Aura,

You’re holding back your spirit; but it’s gone.

You’re all alone and you know where you are;

The New Age of Darkness, has begun.

Letter To My Daughter

LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER

this poem reshuffled cabinet 
the rhythm resigned the president 
its metaphors adjourned parliament

my daughter 
awaken sleeping patriots eating peanut in slogan darkness 
rise dozing voters in the warmth of political acid 
awaken struggle heroes in graves tired of wrong epitaphs and fake eulogies 
awaken fat cats puffing zanunised propaganda burgers in slumber

rise green horns drinking much talked herbal tea of change 
grandfathers of patriotism to bring back 
truth drowning in potholes of grief 
god fathers of change to bring back my vote choked in drums of new renewed 
corruption

bring red hot charcoal to roast political bedbugs sucking our blood in daylight 
bring a word scientist to burn the justified injustice in poetic sulphuric acid

my daughter 
this poem reshuffled cabinet 
the rhythm resigned the president 
the metaphors adjourned parliament.

Seven For Chaos and Order-Of Hells and Heavens

Seven For Chaos And Order-Of Hells & Heavens


With Love abandoned and Demons are handed your serving succulent Soul
Megalomaniacal monstrosities, hideous oddities welcome you to the devils hole
Dreams of destruction for your consumption with sulphuric scorching smells
Blistering blasphemous bondage, you pay homage to the Master of Hells

My Soul escapes thru damnation drapes, I see the Loving Light
An Angelic reunion a Holy communion, the Heavens are within sight
No more enslaved my Soul is saved in harmonious habitual height.

TOXIC STATE

hunched, amidst creative ash:

H.D.’s sulphuric shell -

pieces of a deranged puzzle.

all           the president’s men

scratch their hairless heads.

they had thought to build a wall -

but no one in town owns a brick.

Ring Cyberspace Bells

Ring, Cyberspace Bells

Vitriol is crowding cyberspace;
A year of gaseous utterances unleashed and hanging;

Close your eyes, imagine a global warming of utterances;
It must be dissipated – no, dissolved.

Burst open spewing beautiful heart!.

Lean back in that easy chair;
Close your eyes, without fanfare.
Breathe into cyberspace’s sulphuric gas
The antidote, your own soul’s buried prettiness.

Melt away, delete, strike cyber trash!

Wispy clouds across the moon.
A newborn babe’s first smile;
Riding a convertible on a perfect day,
Sunflower fields for a mile.

The expression on a girl friend’s face,
As she accepts your hard-earned ring.
A wandering wind caught between hills,
When they happily start to sing

Fall leaves dancing like jewels
On old gnarled and stately trees;
Silver streaks, twinkling reflections.
On a lovely lapping lake at eve.

Now I have started a prism’d ball,
Of exquisite  glittering pastel things.
Lie back, lie back, create your own
‘Til cyberspace bells start to ring.

Awakened

She woke up
The bitter remnants of the past 
swirling in her mouth
eating her words
in a sulphuric acid brew
She woke up
and spat them out
before they charted a course to destroy
all she still knew
of the truth

Premium MemberIt Can'T Help Her

"It" whispered strange somethings into her ear.
As she gazed intently into the mirror.
"Its" voice was soft yet "it" taunted her so.
She wished to flee "it" but where could she go?

"It" bathed her mind in "its" sulphuric stream!
Lies upon lies "it" became a bad dream.
A waking nightmare she could not escape.
Her skinny fat body, what a wierd shape!

The more weight she lost the fatter she felt.
"Its" voice stonger as spirit did melt.
"I'm your friend, I'll help you disappear!
"Come to my garden, you don't belong here."

She stopped believing what "it" had to say
When she went for help the "it" ran away!

Jerks of Jealousy

JERKS OF JEALOUSY


Two thick n' lovely friends, friends forever type
Ugly poverty had its brutal curse on both of them
Thick n' thin of life,  equally did they share...
Both good at sports, budding athletes of their locality
New contest announced, In prize-trophy, sports shoe !
Both took up challenge, preparation on in full-swing...
Motivation n' moral  boost-up, coach and the trainee,  both were for both!
Arrived the D- day - One lost , One won!!
This is the point where story takes a U-turn..
One who lost got jealous, best moments till date
dissolved and diluted.
Wicked jealousy corroded his mind like sulphuric acid...
In fit of jealousy burnt he the shoes won by his own dear friend...
Another contest declared in neighbouring town, winner friend said,
I won't partake due to ligament tear.. but buddy you have to win this time
The new shoes I won, you wear and keep it as my gift all yours!
Good luck my friend he patted and left, still unaware 
about shoes' fate which he had kept safe in chest.
