Swallowing Poems | Examples


Premium Member Swallowing a knife

If only swallowing a knife could cut the words from my minds eye
So complex open wounds would slowly bleed until its veins run dry
Carving a way for my vexations, though my heart will never be free
To release the tournament of deeply hemorrhaging wounds in me

Swallowing Broken Glasses

How painful it is
when someone think of 
swallowing broken glasses 
because of much hate? 
It is so badly
when a person decides
to kill himself " herself " 
because of envy. 

Don't harm yourself please!
I pray you to love 
other people and 
keep your life because
they love you highly 
And their  love is immeasurably.

Premium Member Swallowing Gum

Anticipation building, excitement on the rise
Melodies of heaven as sung through your blue eyes 
I hope I can keep standing, my knees often get weak
Whenever I stand near you, and I can barely speak

If Ye Can Swallow No Ill Word

If swallow you cannot an ill word
That curdles up to turn sour like curd,
And acrid goes from sour
By every passing hour,
Spell it out all aloud if unheard,
Watch it loose potent power,
Cooled as if under shower,
Till you laugh it all off as absurd!
_____________________________________________________
Swallowing ill words has upset no stomach, advises ancient wisdom; but it may upset mental health. Beware then every time you open your mouth. If you find swallowing too hard, this limerick (an extended one) shows a better way.

Swallowing Colors

Swallowing colors from a new day 
replacing the moon
Affecting my soul as it orbits this 
world I find you
Never have I seen such a beautiful 
sunrise
Until I saw one ignite the passion 
deep inside of your eyes

Turning the beats of my heart into a 
sweet melody
As I listen to your voice then your 
lips begin melting me
I can feel myself longing for the fire 
that once consumed all of my love 
It was like eating the sun so it 
scorched the taste of your kiss from 
my tongue

Quietly the day falls away with little 
drops of rain
Separating horizon from the 
sunsetting behind colors of gray
Now even beneath a black sky I can 
still see your radiant face
Tracing a silhouette of your world 
embodied with heavenly grace

Swallowing Pride

Crunch munch crunch, 
chewing fast,
swallowing pride. 
Well digested. 
Through my pores 
humbleness excreted.

Swallowing Spit

Some say a tad disgusting
Some say it may be gross
Some say it’s not appealing
But spit is good on toast (LOL)
Not trying to be vulgar
Though disgusting it may be
But spit that’s swallowed through a straw
Was more than enough for me
While watching American Idol
Some guy took Paula’s cup
And proceeded to take her straw
To drink her water up
I thought it was so funny
There was humor there in it
But think for now, would you please
Would you swallow someone’s spit?

Swallowing Anxiety Implodes the Light Sockets

This frenzy of feeling
this pull of hindsight
is bursting in optics
resounding in light
at the tip of a porcupine
centered explosion
this frenzy of feeling
internal implosion

This fanatic fancy
this race to be found
is shooting star tonguing
and silent of sound
at the tip of the mouth
on the verge of a thought
this fanatic fancy
can never be caught
