hope, love,
i lay searching
the night-grain nothingness.
discharged from the world.
still, It comes.
oozing through undefined space
in fire-grinning simplicity.
humming like steel .
It beckons.
and i am ready.
but It has long been in place --
this....dying
as all men die --
slowly,
by suffocation.
yet,
the black streaks
violet and orange.
you stir.
your untainted eyes open.
hold me
precious wife
in the world
a while longer.

They confine us to the dark,
So we will seize the night.
Shadows full and beautiful,
Full moon and pale starlight.
Closing eyes with parting lips,
And drawing final breath.
Drawing blood and lines of love,
Awoken in this death.
Pleasure, drowning, lost in you,
My skin lays bitten, bare.
The sweetest suffocation,
I’m loving, lacking air.
The moon has left me Lycan,
And you're allowed to bite.
They confine us to the dark,
So we will seize the night.

Competence adheres to truth
The affliction begins to throb
Fracturing the enchantment
Paralyzing compassion
Yearning for the illusion
To break from the mind
Materialize into undeniable
Ensure the lighthearted
Initiation of dissipation
Retention collapsing
Reality emerges
Ecstasy subsides
A feared colloquy
An aphotic chasm ensues
Suffocation in isolation
The curse of infatuation

when Berlin wall came down
humanity began to breathe
deceit, suffocation, and manipulation
Was no more
Eyes could begin to see the organic
To feel the organic
To be the organic
fall of berlin wall
collapsed upon a factory of poisonous pesticides
that was killing organic growth of humanity
we now see freedom sprouting everywhere
from Spain to Judea
Persia to Crimea
China To Chicago
cultural and historical legacy of humanity
coalescing into destiny of oneness
because we are human
peace is human
justice is human
love is human
peace is human
justice is human
love is human.

depression
The jolted anger that never bursts
The mind that is crippled by fears,
The agony in the form of tears,
The revenge that in the mind lingers.
The mind which is dipped in tension,
Always depression, depression and depression!
Those unheard cries,
Of falsehood, entanglements, bondage and ties.
Where love is murdered,
And unity surrendered,
Where frankness is shattered,
And aims, ambitions and aspirations plastered.
Life becomes a knife,
Pain, melancholy and bitter tears to wipe,
Life is a marvellous pilgrimage,
It is a mirror and reflects your own image.

depression,
What do you do when the river has run dry,
When there is no more blood to bleed,
No more tears to weep,
Alone in the bend waiting to die.
You can imagine things will get better,
A flow of light to guide you through.
Or face the realities of waste rather
Than try to row the dirt quite so.
Yet I am one with the bend still,
Both hollowed out and left for starvation
Of love in loveless quicksand til,
we reach a point of suffocation.
And realize the same fate we have if we
wait,
To be rescued, a horrible mistake making
death late.

lost love, sad, sorrow,
She use to say she loved me
Every morning
I guess her feeling changed
Am I to blame?
My day don't start with kisses
Now it's boring
There's no sex at night
No hugs before good-byes
Sometimes I feel like she don't need me
She don't want me
But how do I know?
Where did the affection go?
And now I'm feeling empty
And so lonely
She's here with me
But she's not here with me…
If you looked in my eyes deeply
To my soul
There will be a sorrow stained
Right next to my pain
At night I watch her sleeping
And I know
She is the only one I love
But is that enough?
I'm dying by suffocation
And it hurts
I'm crying in this room
Not knowing what to do?

introspection, life, people, urban, water, water,
Good to have realised
but I already did,
that friends and people
pass and go,
but still;
the water walks alone.
Magnificent you suddenly appreciate
but I already grovel,
at the foot of the Earth
at the foot of your being,
but still;
the water walks alone.
And I keep seeming to give
impressions
that you all own me.
Some snare in the rope,
but it is mine!
I want the echo's
to stand up hairs on your belly.
But still;
it's only boxed water.
My blood and love despise me.
and I never understood why
I am unforgivable.
Perhaps it's just nature.
Sanding away my skin
drinking in suffocation
drowning out...

love, me, love, me, i love you,
I could only imagine
Your hands
Wrapped around my waist,
Hugging me from behind.
Oh, the worth
That you embody
Ignites my heart, my soul.
Your touch drives me wild,
Like you’re another side of me.
The words you recollect
Not only comfort me, but enlightens me.
You make me smile regardless,
Any storm or trial.
I know you'll be there with such charm,
And that sparkle in your eye.
You say you love me.
And that means the world to me
I’m yours, and I love you like no other
You’re my peace in mind,
You’re the sun in my storm,
The air in my suffocation,
Your all their is to be.

You don't have to bleed away
My profound profane love...I hold your heart in mine
I can feel your heat from the love places, I can also feel your thumping pain
Crying into the broken, bloodied mirrors
I will pick you up for you've picked me up
The wringing love you hold, the shallow eyes from which you weep,
your claws into my skin
I will softly, sweetly kiss your beautiful brown skin
and wallow in the Sunday soaking blue
When do we swallow each other whole?
That will be a perfect time
Hold on a little bit closer
...suffocation isn't very strange.....

love
When I finally realized
That she only gave her hand
As a request for friendship
That was when I made up
my mind
And decided
Not to do anything at all
Because whatever I may do
It'll wound either of us
Victory creates happiness on both sides
Loss can inflict pain to yourself,
if not to her conscience too
As I really cared,
I lost by my own hand
In order to save her conscience
That decision
equals suffocation

lost lovelove, me,
I have lived through something so malevolent to love as hatred. I swim through this sea of
lukewarm agony. I crash upon the brutal jetty's of devotion's failure. It is simply
impossible to explain to you the shortness of breath I am constantly feeling, for your
love to me is as crucial as air, without it I am doomed to suffocation and suffering.
Truer to life than change is constant, this lingering reality in my mind is forever
condemned to a fictitious abnormality in your eyes...I am forever the Ghost of our endless
affection, but the effect of our love has left me a Ghost

imagination,
Suffocation chocking down my throat,
My eyes shuttering,
I cant even lift a finger,
My chances of survival too stiff,
My heart skips a beat,
Now singing the melodious beat of survival,
I see Heaven,
Angels lifting my soul high above,
Can't even remember the last time I fell in love,
But one thing is for sure,
My heart still beats for a second breathe,
Dreams come true,
I just want to overcome this,
In my mind...
I dream of that moment,
Drowning in the ocean of catching a second breathe...

In the hospital wanting you
At night thinking of you_awake
For how many hours and long days
Will be glad to be home_goodness sake
Hello poetry soup have_missed you
The long seconds seem to just crawl
In the hospital room no wind
Trapped within these four gray plain wall
Alone this one woman_one man
All the staff here has been so kind
But this is not where I want to be
Suffocation plays on my mind
Life has a trap_caught in its ways
What a story to sing and tell
How when one truly does love
The story of life always ends well

love, love hurts, sad love,
It’s what fairy tales are made of
Those moments that
Make the heart stop
The flutter
The onset of love
But reality crashes in waves
And it wasn't the right
Time, person, place
It wasn't a movie
It wasn't a fairy tale
I expected a warm embrace
But it was suffocation
I was stripped of my being
Because what was once mine
And mine alone
Is now his to hold

depression, lonely,
Trees blowing in the wind of the moment
Now flowing they lend nothing at, towards
To them they speak the language, sacrament
The love of the daylight hours with awards
Seeing a lady sounding scraping swords
Feeling the bark of the tree suffocate
Like a smash in the stomach, penetrate
Leaving a mark of breathlessness, no sound
Taking the toll of whispers, signals fate
With no one but the lonely left around

sad,
Lost, drowning under your gaze
Lost words of an unspoken time
Anger locked up and no where to escape
Lost, drowning under your gaze
Hidden by my cloak of love
Fearless until your drowning gaze
Tears of suffocation
entering my immortal wound

depression, love,
Imagine five swords into your throat
Fighting to make space enough for them
That how much painful breathing is to me without you
Dark suffocation into my head
Engulfed every memory but yours
This happened when I try not to think of you
Severe pain in my chest
Like an unbeatable boxer hits me with an iron punch
This much dead i am when I see myself standing alone without you
And in this chaos between
Mind and heart
Truth and false
Love and pain
Anger and rain
I realized
My pupils dilates
My brain gets relaxed
Swords stand still
And I feel lesser pain
When I try not to forget you.

loss, love, sad, time,
Half awake, half aware, in a blanket of twilight,
silent suffocation beneath it's vacuum weight;
in the severed grasp between realisation
and the drowsy semi-dreaming state.
I miss your kiss, sweet dew-bathed lips
pressed light as crushed luxuriant silk
upon my dormant, hungry mouth
with honeycomb zest and buttermilk.
Your absence won't suckle or resuscitate
the passion emaciating deep down in me;
I will feed and dream of surrogate love,
of kissing your ghost for company.

angst, animals, devotion, happiness, love, passion,
Strong, muscular, moving in sync,
like an ocean of lavender their bodies move.
Waves of clapping hooves consistently beating
the earth like thunder beats the sky.
This is how my heart moves,
like a panther to its prey,
towards the stampede.
Suffocation, intoxication, devastation.
Refusing to be tamed as sure as life is to
death.
Spring, summer, night,
day, month, week,
hour to minute,
run in time.
Refuse to be trampeled.

A drop which comes only,
When word start vibration in heart;
A drop can grow the plant of happiness,
When old seed show the sign of existence of love;
A drop of elixir to spread life,
In the dried branches of relation;
A drop of magical fluid,
This can convince when all efforts become useless;
A drop suddenly comes out,
When pain and pleasure crosses their dignity.
A drop become bloody,
When circumstances become uncontrolled;
A drop become more viscous,
When love one say Goodbye forever.
A drop of remedy,
When love organ feel suffocation and intolerable burns.
A drop of love,
Because it tells all which we cannot express some moment.

depressionwords,
Cruel words escape from her lips,
She touches her throat with her fingertips.
Feeling lost
Feeling hated,
It's something many have debated.
A choking feeling a gasp for life,
But somewhere deep she longs for a knife.
Somewhere dark, somewhere deep a innocent soul wantes to be free.
Cheated of love.
Cheated of peace.
How can she give if she never recieved?
Cruel words escape from her lips,
She touches her throat with her fingertips.
A choking feeling.
A gasp for life.
Something deep makes her grab a knife.

love, self,
I’ve been given a gift
The ultimate gift
Correction
One of the ultimate gifts
A way to undo
A way to redo
A way to rewrite
A way to reject spite
A way to free myself
From suffocation
Mediocrity
Unfulfillment
Disillusionment
Fear
And it was simple
Far simpler than imagined
I found who was to blame
Who was the tormentor
But it was the same reflection
As the protector
It was always me
Me as my worst enemy
Me as my best friend
So the choice was made
The choice to undo the damage
To love
First and foremost
Myself

I can't breath, everything
is going black, why does
life hate me? I don't want
this, I still can't breath
Suffocation is taking me
everything is starting to
leave, but then I see light
no I'm not dead someone
Is pulling me up, I fall in
love then they throw me
back in, i'm suffocating
again, I'm losing a fight
They say love is will
kill you, they're right
now I'm at the bottom,
I lost the fight, drowning

dark, farewell, imagery, lost love,
Ash
It falls
And lay still
Burning city
But it’s still my home
Smoke clouds inhabit skies
And skyscrapers crumble down
We watch from the cliffside and mourn
A disaster soundtrack lacking sound
We only hear the ashes falling
Everything we loved, now debris
The sun charred over with greed
Memories in piles
The darkness warns me
Suffocation
We lay still
And breathe
Dross
