Swallowed Poems - Poems about Swallowed

It lingers. Not on the lips. Lower. In the fiber of the tongue, in the spasming depths of fear, where words no longer light paths, but only fester in ancestral silences, like icons submerged in sacred rubble, beneath the cracked beams of a church welded shut from within, where even devils can no longer enter. Parting is not spoken. It is torn between teeth, swallowed...

My walls hear more cries more than anyone My pillow wipes my tears when I have no one I have always taken death slightly until it came home Since that day, like a lost puppy I began to roam. I have always felt...

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'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.

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,...

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...
