X Radiation Poems - Poems about X Radiation

Atomic Reaction

If you could have been
part of the population
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
at ground zero
you would have seen
total annihilation
when the bombs were dropped
(Little Boy and Fat Man)
and if it weren't enough
you should become 'hibakusha'
victims of nuclear fallout radiation
the perpetrators censored the news
and only the survivors
were evidence all war must be stopped

You Make Me Smile

the diagnosis came as a shock
life altering-all came to a stop
several surgical scar forming resections
steady course of skin burning radiation
multiple courses of poisonous chemotherapy
grueling grind of gut-wrenching nausea
valleys of deep depression
alternate with hills of happiness
each day another day of life
totally different than the day before

through it all you have 
managed to maintain

Premium MemberIn the radiation waiting room

the calm here is filled with your presence
i feel your energy come over me
as it lingers in the air i breathe
and paints a warm smile upon my face
i do not feel alone

it's surreal how there is hovering
that's tangible between the two dimensions
meanwhile this still looks much like
a processing plant but feels to me
more like a

Radiation Waiting Room

Radiation lobby,
filled with unspoken sense.
I see a community of fighters and partners.
The partners are
the curious who know.
They sit using books as blinders,
or sitting watching others.
They are family waiting.

The fighters are strugglers,
arriving with smiles or stone faces.
They are:
slow walkers
fast walkers
chair riders
cane holders,
or with chemo caps,
or cancer wigs.

Travelers
funneling through a journey of hope.
Given by greeters and nurses.
Cancers

Premium MemberI am a Force of Nature

I visit the bug zapper on Tuesday
much to the radiology teams delight

I named it thus before meeting it formally
my comedic self puts up this type of dust

If you make fun of it enough
it can't cause you pain
it only gets three passes in each refrain 

Less than a minute and half on my breast
that's about the time

Ruptured

 Radiation stings sweet
Rivaling the burn of
Razor blades through my soul
Ready to leave a scar
Rupturing the healing
Right before the climax
Reflected in your eyes

Tear

a tear in each eye
surviving the bad hair days
my tumor and I
both shrink from radiation
the treatments tear us apart

contrast for the word "tear"

Premium MemberRadiation Sickness

Having failed yet another repair, on the leaking rods
I spit my liquified bowels all over the walls
Retching up toxic filth within 
an expectoration of black lumpy phlegm
forms a pebbledash of grotesque sin
Some I recognize, some I can’t figure out 
but it’s me, spewing cancer is my distinctive subtlety 
carries my mark, the mark of a

Drift

A craft ever afloat
in dark endless doldrums.

The drifting aether-boat,
station of static hum.

Fallout: the lethal moat.
Recov’ry never comes.

Just Be

I want to be just a woman,
Weak and dependent on her husband.
Life has already started to crack,
And the truth will come out.

I don't want to feel powerless,
I don't want everyone to be offended,
The days began to drag on dreary,
I realized that I had something to lose.

I always look for a spiritual light in people,
And even

Premium MemberSing a Song of Radiation



Oh, let my blood thicken, as in front of my computer 
I type.
Who cares if my retinas are being destroyed?
For we are being led down an electronic primrose path 
like bleeting sheep to the slaughter.
As EMF waves destroy the brains of our young sons and 
our oh, so beloved daughters.

Oh, how we chortle and snicker

Cosmic Background Radiation

Oh universe ye tellst to us thy tale,
thy megaphone part of a second old
fills all the vacuum in microwave
throughout the space ye darest to unfold.

So then more time passed than words might describe,
diverted by their dating with the stars
thy low cry was lost "electronics noise",
forgivest the limits of the species!

Fortune by their hunger of publishing

Radiation

Radiation they said, could be deadly
if used right, it may save your life
That tumor you have, that's on your left lung
cannot be removed with a knife

They said it is pressed, very close to your heart
with even a "nick" you could die
There's only one option, it has to be nuked
five doses turned up really high

Side effects?

Plank's Radiation Law

Joint configurations of embellishments....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I said, I thought?

You know, Satan has a way

Of subverting the truth of light

Casting it within the blurry

The obscure and the vague....

Abstract views

Of murkened hue's, at best

Make believe things

That bind within the crucible....

This crusade, of wonderlust souls

Traveling to and fro, and yet

Grounded upon the nowhere?

Marching in unison, this concourse

To the beat, of
