Swallowed Whole
I've walked a thousand miles , lost in my mind , A thousand lies spoken , tears left behind. Anxiety's dark abyss has swallowed me whole , A never-ending hole , where shadows take control. Hurt a thousand times , I've sighed and cried , Lost in darkness , where light has died. This journey's paved with potholes and pain , Life's...

Earth has swallowed blackwoman pure seed of life
#Earth_has_swallowed_blackwoman's_pure_seed_of_life Hopes and wishes, dreams and expectations, observed as they derail, watched as they grew thorns, losing their shape, changing into pain and nightmares, tormenting and devastating, turning bitter and sour, daily. Like a cancer virus, festering Watched as a blackwoman, shook her head in disbilief, braking down into tears. Diagnosed with medical conditions, she never...

Ready to be Swallowed
A giant road is emerging. My sandy path is ready to be swallowed. Gambol, amble, ramble, saunter, stride… My way knows a variety of my gaits. This is a stamped path in my gene as an elephant corridor. It’s open for the rat snakes, mongooses, cats, and men. When I lose my way, no one will come...

Premium Member She Swallowed a Spider To Swallow the Fly
I don't know if there's a way to describe spinning whilst still Reverse vertigo, maybe I'm still whilst spinning But what if pieces of me flew away Centrifugal forces dictate that happens I don't know what I'm left with after the spin Only that which is loose can disperse To be left with the deeply entrenched I'd be a spinning advocate if...

Swallowed
Stones, Mortar, and brick Nowhere to turn without feeling sick, stoned To my stomach A bottomless pit Unheard, smothered by a thousand succinct voices' verbose drone Speaking as they spew toxic, putrid bile in the pit of my stomach Plummeting, swirling dizzily in circles - a cyclone - cyclically, alone Booming, the whispering silence of lucidity's susurrate disruption weighs heavily on my thoughts,...

Swallowed By a Whale
A man was swallowed by a whale And lived to tell this humpback tale. While lobster fishing, suddenly, Below the waters of the sea, He felt a bump then all went dark. In fear, he thought it was a shark. Not feeling pain, which sure was good, He was confused, then understood He’d somehow gotten swallowed whole By some huge whale out on patrol To...

Premium Member Swallowed By the Moon
*Super Moon 3/20/19 I was swallowed by the moon Its brightness captured me It hadn’t come too soon Needing light to consume me And so it did, from a dark winter night My soul moved to and fro With its endless moon path in sight Glimmering all over the snow Nothing but a lift, pulled me above From the place where I stood Igniting my heart...
