"choked" poems
Your seething tides churn in my mind As my shaky hands subside And though love can be caustic, You are sweet-tempered. Your voice could calm even the roughest storms. I wish I had enough time in the day to tell you of how many times you've kept my heart beating Or of all of the times you've interrupted the steady streams of woe escaping my bloodshot eyes All without even trying. I wish I could thank you for holding my hand while I puked up roses, and drying my eyes when I choked on the thorns.

This was titled “To My Soulmate” but that guy was a ****
let it not be confused let no one else's name ring throughout these sentences let this be a hatchet let me put this to rest this is not a test i don't want to think about shipwrecks anymore i am tired of folding apologies into origami birds and placing them at the headstones to your tantrums this is not is not geology class these are promises written on razorblades     *& if you are getting choked up      then maybe you should be* maybe we should be buried with our telescopes face down my mouth is full of sorry all for being honest we are falling out of orbit we are burning bystanders so cast away your callous condolences because no one is clapping in this waist deep water this is not a baptism so do not tell strangers that this was a chance to drown any differently i am not a catalogue of constellations you cannot name this is not mythology so stop believing your horoscope i am not a wishing well i am just a wall for you to paint post nuclear fallout & antonyms for catharsis on we destroy the things that are not ours- the wanton ways we embody wrecking ***** and then cry over the rubble this is not a heap or a mosaic this is leaping off a thousand story building with no one to catch you at the bottom & maybe that's why some quiet moments are so fragile, maybe that's why butterflies have mimicry your words are black powder and poetry is your musketry i guess that makes me your blindfold

hands on fire
You sat on the other end of the table Glistening, shining, and taunting me Rosy cheeks with spurts of Yellow and Green Silently teasing A juicy, little Apple. Hopefully no one would see me, no one would pay any attention As I grabbed the treat and the knife And began to dangerously peel. I knew I was doing it wrong My hands shaking while my cheeks began to flush Embarrassed by my ignorant inadequacy. Are you left-handed? she asked from my left. Humiliation filled the corners of my eyes, wet and distraught. No, I mumbled. My cheeks reflecting Mose's Red Sea. I was beginning to drown. Your thumb needs to move, You make me nervous, and she sounded nervous indeed. Put it down here. Help yourself control it. Guide it. Everyone was staring now, the whole table awed My ignorance showing, like a medallion at my chest My shameful Apple as pathetic proof. You're doing it wrong. Non così. Basta, faccio io. Let me do it. You're about to graduate, and you can't peel an apple. I began choking, drowning in tears of Humiliation. No, let her do it the small Voice on my left said. She is finding her way. Let me watch her. I finished peeling the Apple Suffocating my tears as I ate. You remind me of Daisy, she said soon after From The Great Gatsby. I choked and laughed, more ashamed than ever. I'm not sure that is a compliment. I could barely muster a mumble. She couldn't do anything by herself. She looked at me, gentle and forgiving. I think it is, she replied Wistful and Wise. Daisy was vital to the story, you know. And I believe that given the chance, she could have done anything that she wanted On her own.

My Sister, I Watched You Fall-2 My little nephew, I was sorry for your sorrows When the whims of your mother stormed your tomorrows You didn't know who your father was Or why the branches of your tree sagged its paws For you walked thru the halls of life mauled By a lost paw that grabbed your mind and sadness walled I could see it in your mind's eyes, the question marks Of why other families have fathers at the parks From the time you were a little child of two You would love to go with uncle to the zoo Then as the wheels in your mind started to click Seeing other kids with fathers, it made you sick You were young seedling lacking the nourishment The parts of the puzzle missing fulfillment But hear this, my little nephew, your uncle tried And ... at the mercy of your mother's whims, I cried We'd play the role of father and son Fish a dream, toss the past, paint some fun We'd **** weeds while wrestling through a reservoir of tears Aborted in time, a lake, two swans and a duckling in good cheers My nephew, I would take you around the world if I could But hear this you were never, never driftwood For I had spent as much time visiting you In absence of a fathers touch, you never knew I shed more tears today as I catch wind of your child For its teeth bites and gust of whims, again, run wild Do I offer congratulations knowing the lake is devoid Of future swans and a duckling, walled in my mind's void No. My nephew, I'm choked in tears that crawl On the face of the earth, I sprawl I thought you learned, child uncorked On wings of albatross and not the stork Logan Robertson 8/16/2018

Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little soldier boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little soldier boys traveling in Devon; One said he’d stay there and then there were seven. Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. Six little soldier boys playing with a hive; A bumble bee stung one and then there were five. Five little soldier boys going in for law; One got in chancery and then there were four. Four little soldier boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little soldier boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there was none.

Ten little soldier boys
Compelled by calamity's magnet They loiter and stare as if the house Burnt-out were theirs, or as if they thought Some scandal might any minute ooze From a smoke-choked closet into light; No deaths, no prodigious injuries Glut these hunters after an old meat, Blood-spoor of the austere tragedies. Mother Medea in a green smock Moves humbly as any housewife through Her ruined apartments, taking stock Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery: Cheated of the pyre and the rack, The crowd ***** her last tear and turns away.

Aftermath
I have learned that life is not to expect But to only watch, and feel true respect For those who come, even briefly to me No matter the time that I'll allow them to be Look to them with love, and always with heart 'Cause, time will tell true how far we will part I hope and I pray, that my strength will unfold Through trials, and tests, when the truth will be told I look to the heavens, and hope I will see That no matter what happens, that I will always love me For that is what's truth, to know who you are That love begins here, not there nor far The lessons I've learned I know continue Each moment passes, with all that comes through Don't worry for me, I am made of hard steel Though you see someone weak, as my heart doth reel Just allow me my grief, my laughter deceitful My attempt to survive this world that proves cruel Don't judge me on this, these words that so flow I'm not who I seem, this me I don't know I try to believe with this weight in my heart And try to forget the reason we'd part Don't judge me with words that only brings pain For I try with my might, so I may live life again The moment I write these words that come through I only seek to find reason, and learn what is true Sometimes I will fail, like this time I feel lost So cold this chill as if I have turned into frost Allow me this time, so I can heal this pain No comfort, nor words, so I ask you refrain Do not try to change me, for I see will not be To become this person, that I wanted to see To stand strong and become the guiding light For those who have fallen, I've tried to do right But now I see that the one need to heal Is me, the one, that has never shown real How wrong I have been to seek outside To show them my heart, what is broken inside Tis only me that can heal my pain Forgive me, my friends, I've fallen again No wish I have to be such a burden I will no longer ask, for this I am certain Thank you all, you have shown me how To be a good person, though my turn is now To be the one that can only break free From bonds that have choked I so clearly see I beg you, no anger, this is my way My sins have been deep, now my time to pay

Do you ever feel numb It's that feeling when your whole world Seems to fall apart right in front of you And there's nothing you can do about it It's that feeling when you're all choked up And the words just won't seem to come out The tears are stuck, and they strangle you And all you feel is sole numbness It's that feeling when you're indecisive Do you not care anymore? Or are you just really tired? Or is this just a phase that will pass? It's that feeling when you're exhausted Mentally Physically Emotionally And you wish to close your eyes And never open them, Ever again.

Numbness
Loving you is like being kissed by the stars A whole galaxy of experiences, Caught in between that space, —legs that are wrapped around a face Our hair—a complete mess, and I must confess that the taste of you is a taste of cosmic prowess And I’m always stuck on loving you for hours As is our nature, we who dwell on this earth I’ve now learnt that your natural waterfall flows After I’ve treated your wet flower source with a timely worth A slow tease creeps up and down your skin Your arched knees are a resting ground before another journey of my tongue. As the sweetest taste is a taste of fun By the skin of teeth, are the few bite marks I’ve left here and there. Your digging fingers in my hair, Is all the pain you and I have to share. It all seems fair. You’re lost for words, choked up by fiery passion; my gentle hand around your throat And this rule of thumb; is the one you love to bite on An aggressive action, but never to be passive It’s 945, and quarter close to ten Usually the time we should be resting in bed But instead, I’m resting my tongue in you                          It tastes like a perfect end

do you recall the crunch beneath our feet a gesture small as we ambled down the street dirt and gravel I felt pebbles through my shoe I unravelled When I looked at you Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face Sunlight peaked through maple branches in such a tranquil way missed chances to make advances I always hoped you'd stay a fork in the road ahead we went different directions I used many different methods to try and snag your attention Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face you never seemed to notice you just stared ahead heart bloomed as if a lotus while I tugged at a loose thread sometimes I'd begin to speak but choked upon my words so I walked next to you without a peep and together watched the birds Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face it's odd and super subtle the synchronicity insignificant and pointless yet means the world to me quiet walks every afternoon past the garage and dead leaves we watched the starlings courtship do you remember me? Where did you come from Are you real? Is this how I’m supposed to feel? A dreamgirl In a dreary place I’ve counted every freckle on your face

Escape Pods
I was drowning. Underwater. Fighting for air, fighting to swim. Drowning, underwater. Something held me down, Something kept me from taking a breath. Drowning, underwater. I tried to float, but always sank. I tried to breathe, but always choked. Drowning, underwater. I had no escape. But you saved me. You cut me loose. Taught me how to swim, taught me I could breathe. Inhale, exhale. Taught me I could smile, taught me I could laugh. You showed me kindness. You showed me happiness. When I found you, I found me. You gave me life, you gave me purpose. But you changed your mind. Was I not enough? not smart enough not pretty enough not skinny enough not **** enough not happy enough? Was I too much? Did I ask too much? Did I care too much? Did I love too much? Did I need too much? Did I hurt you? Did I scare you? Why were you so ******* afraid Afraid of change afraid of unknowns afraid to let me in afraid to feel what we felt afraid of distance afraid of trying afraid to love me afraid to let me love you afraid of the future afraid of us afraid of this happiness afraid it wouldn't last But I needed you. Now I'm drowning. Underwater. Fighting for air, fighting to swim. Drowning, underwater. You're holding me down, You're keeping me from taking a breath. Drowning, underwater. I'm trying to float, but I'm sinking. I'm trying to breathe, but I'm choking. Drowning, underwater. There is no escape. But I can't forget you. Your words grab my ankles, tying me to the ocean bottom. I'm kicking and fighting, but your touch paralyzes me. I'm crying for help, but your memory suffocates me. No one sees me, no one hears me, no one saves me. You don't save me. Drowning, Underwater. But I still love you.

Feel empty in your post apocalyptic City of Angels, Where not even your pets are real! An electric android, a sheep or a frog, The whir-flutter of micro-electrical wings of a butterfly. Good, and so you ought. Now grab the handles of your empathy box, And in a shared virtual hallucination – Feel: empathy, depression, pain, delusion and despair, The outré myriad gifts of consciousness. Billions of discombobulated and disconnected wrecks: Adam's sons; Eve's daughters, And among them simulations too, Fakes! androids! A phony circuit of implanted semi-conscious memories, A hive of neural malaise! Welcome to our world; know how dead inside I am. You, yes, you: Need a pet to make you more complete? Maybe you can afford A Fake Fakir Flake like me who looks like Jude Law, Sounds like Richard Burton, And silently romances you like Rudolph Valentino. Come and stick what’s left of your mind, In here, In hair, Hear her: har, har, har… A box of lies... A voice, Mercer's, With texture from an age you neither lived in nor dared in: Al Jerry's, a TV actor, Droning on in pre-selected tones. The real thing, the men, the women, the children - their animals - Made in the wild, wild desert, In the green pulsing savannah, On the open crusted sea; Now too, washed, choked, and drained, Too many spliced and diced mutations, Iterating your image: The thing that was my heart, My Child, now its imitation.

*Fake Fakir Flake*
I believe it was the sawdust of summer when I found your voice in a shadow of a song it reminded me of my past hurt. You sang so beautifully of lilacs and photogenic water, you build harmonies powerful enough to save angels in a storm. Quickly I caught on and held tight to your butterflies you called lyrics. You spoke of love like you had a doctrine in it. I thought for men love was a learning curve. You proved me wrong. You did not just create music and magic you birth colors out of sound and called them stories. You blurred the lines between reality and fantasy. I bet your music is similar to the way God speaks. I bet you discovered a guitar inside of a black deity and the piano inside of a white devil's broken heart.   Prince, I bet you can play anything even the fossils of flowers. Your music is an endless drug, a purple high. Listening to you made me feel like all four seasons cuddled up with a kiss. Tell me when did you get tired of playing love songs? When did balancing the moon and a microphone become all too much for you? Who choked the life out of your vocal chords? **** I would give almost anything to hear you live again! To wear your songs in my ears like Heirlooms.  Oh Wait, I think I get it. Is this how you go beyond means of self to teach us dead silence is music too?

"A Poem For Prince Rogers Nelson"
He was large as frogs go Fist-sized happy rotund dweller of backyard pond Garter snake large, too large with his ominous yellow stripes and jaws to take a larger than average mouthful Choked by abdomen's girth Legs drooling from his glut Before the victim's even hit his gut's digestive juices Kid with hockey stick makes him puck for his sin Frog makes  desperate slim swim for rocks Where he lies in recovery from shock and teeth marks on his belly Underdog gets defense from phone call-- Eve 150 miles away intercedes Frog gets mercy of a transport to another backwoods pond-- to find his life forgetting trauma Suns himself and swims Eats the bugs and ***** the froglettes of another day

Underdog Frog
I remember that placid night... Sitting in my room alone. Something inside me was filled with fright, Knowing that there was no one to phone. And I suddenly hungered, ached, desired— That animalistic feeling, That urge left unhindered— That lustful tingling. A lust I lusted after, But to no avail. My lonely heart started beating faster, But all I could do was wait and wail. I felt choked up, Stifled beyond belief. I felt like I had dealt with enough, And I needed to help my soul breathe. A lust I had lusted after, Longing for that forgotten feeling. But my hopes were useless chatter, No one could hear my silent pleading. I felt so very hopeful— Hopeful and excited. But I was left feeling wistful, With my lust uninvited.

Hear the LION'S ROAR As the many indignant souls Find themselves restored In his majestic presence As he rattles the very fabric Of this world as many Broken men become renewed Their fractured parts Collect in the melting *** Of the Lions stare So let us all dare To live life like a Lion Lounging in the sun Owning and surveying His beautiful life Storing great forces Reservoirs of strength To pounce and punch Soft pads of silent stealth Gather for all his wealth His appetite strong He honors every parts of self But there is no where To hide in the cats eye stare As my many fumbling phoney selves Dissolve in his melting glare As I am shamed by a look As I approach life like a crook My procrastinating belly exposed In my lack luster display As I breath a contempt For my precious life Standing strong in stature And rich in golden shine Radiating with a presence Of Absolute rule The air washed with A bristly respect A natural pride Beams with a beauty Freed from all that is false His being effortlessly Embraces the fields Of his own nature As I am silenced by The strangle hold of this Bitter dysfunctional world Tightened by a Multitude of silent gestures I sit to listen To the LION'S ROAR I feel my throat burst My gagged tongue freed My choked throat Beams like the sun As I softly delve In to the LION'S ROAR An open infinity Cuts my many collars Releasing my self expression As a thousand trap doors Open in me Learning from the loving LION Our self expression freed And our appetite renewed We live a new adventure

Hear the LION'S ROAR As the many indignant souls Find themselves restored In his majestic presence As he rattles the very fabric Of this world as many Broken men become renewed Their fractured parts Collect in the melting *** Of the Lions stare So let us all dare To live life like a Lion Lounging in the sun Owning and surveying His beautiful life Storing great forces Reservoirs of strength To pounce and punch Soft pads of silent stealth Gather for all his wealth His appetite strong He honors every parts of self But there is no where To hide in the cats eye stare As my many fumbling phoney selves Dissolve in his melting glare As I am shamed by a look As I approach life like a crook My procrastinating belly exposed In my lack luster display As I breath a contempt For my precious life Standing strong in stature And rich in golden shine Radiating with a presence Of Absolute rule The air washed with A bristly respect A natural pride Beams with a beauty Freed from all that is false His being effortlessly Embraces the fields Of his own nature As I am silenced by The strangle hold of this Bitter dysfunctional world Tightened by a Multitude of silent gestures I sit to listen To the LION'S ROAR I feel my throat burst My gagged tongue freed My choked throat Beams like the sun As I softly delve In to the LION'S ROAR An open infinity Cuts my many collars Releasing my self expression As a thousand trap doors Open in me Learning from the loving LION Our self expression freed And our appetite renewed We live a new adventure

She’s cracking eggs. “What are those?” she asks, pointing to white and red specks in the bowl. Once I’d have told her it was shell- but she’s too old for that now so- “Where the eggs started to grow” “Into chickens?” “Yes” “Oh” she says, staring intently at a gooey mess in the palm of her hand. I finish weighing out the ingredients, wipe her clean- “Which colour icing do you want?” She’s carefully spooning cake mix into bright-striped paper cases. “Can we make angel cakes instead?” I go into the kitchen to pre-heat the oven, steal two minutes silence. Deep breath. “No. We'd be cutting up perfect little cupcakes to make the wings” Choked. I can’t tell her why I don’t do Angels in December.

We all bear scars in one way or other. Some from loving someone too deeply and some others from losing someone or something that you cared too much for. Some scars are intentional while some others exist for stupid silly reasons. Some we are but some we are not so proud of. I have scars all over my body. All over my mind and all over my soul. I have scars on my brain due to over thinking and over analyzing incidents that haven’t even happened yet. I have scars on my eyes for shutting it more often, for being blind to things that should’ve been taken care of. I have scars on my nose from all those endless snobs and sniffles from my horrifying past relationships. I have scars on my mouth from speaking the truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth. I have scars on my neck from getting choked up on false love and fake proposals. I have scars on my shoulders from lifting up responsibilities that I was accustomed to from an early age. I have scars on my hands from holding onto things that weren’t supposed to be mine from the very start. I have scars on my chest from my ice cold heart that has been stomped over and over multiple times. I have scars on my lungs from the “occasional” stress buster cigarettes that I am addicted to every now and then. I have scars on my stomach from one too many butterflies that flew when we first met. I have scars on my legs from running, miles away from people and that place I used to call home. I have scars on my skin from the many tattoos I got done that helps me reassure my self-worth. I have scars on my soul from trying hard to pull myself together, calm me down and compose myself through the rampant storm that’s been raging in my life. I have all these scars. All of them. And they don’t scare me now even though they hurt like hell, at times. They’ve become a part of me and looking back, they are just reminders of who I was, what I have been through my life and the person it has made me become. They don’t scare me anymore because they define who I am now. A survivor.

Chereè, Chereè...Her mommy cried and warned her to be careful, 3 months ago she left home for L.A in hopes for becoming a star. Five foot five, dark green eyes, skin complexion as a beige princess, at a pool party in the hills she met the producer to both whoms sparked interest. She had a voice of gold, a personality so bold, and he had the fill to her mold. So she thought, So she was told, Chereè was gullible a young 19 years old. She moved in with Jazzy, fell in love with him, and his savvy, way of making her feel so **** and strong. For three months he lead her on, head and *** every other night and she never recorded one song. Then he came to her and asking, "Baby do love me…Baby do you care." Thirty minutes after she finished her makeup and hair, they stared into each others eyes, he gave her a tender kiss as he caressed her thighs. "I love you girl, and I always will." As she strapped her heels, he uttered a comment about how love doesn't pay the bills. North Hollywood, for weeks the pay was good, until the night she climbed in the SUV. "What's your name sweetheart." "Whatever you want it to be." She hopped in the truck, and he had something tucked, he turned and flashed L.A.P.D. Just do me this one, and I'll let you go…and she prayed to just get back on the stroll. They went in the back seat, the ***** cop was a freak, he used his cuffs to tie up her hands and feet. She waited till he was weak, he came and then she beat, her elbows into his head and felt for the keys under the seat. He whipped out an 8 inch blade and slit her throat. He kept stabbing, and he ever choked her.....looked at the body, and rolled it over, took his cuffs and gave her a soft kiss on the shoulder, he wiped tears and blood from his face with her thong, because he told her……that'd he let her go. He dumped Chereè on the side of the road, and took off for his Beverly Hills home.………And her mother told her to be careful.

where it starts 1. your girlfriend will have a miscarriage for the second time and you, you'll start using needles THERE WILL BE NO DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN THESE TWO THINGS but you tell yourself a daughter is what would make life worth living and subsequently what it takes to get you sober 2. you lose your job because you're always in the bathroom missing veins loss of job will inevitably spiral into an "intolerable depression" or "extended sadness" or "whatever version of this is easiest to swallow" 3. you get to spend every holiday from your birthday until The Day She Dies sitting next to your mother's hospital bed (except for when you're always in the bathroom, missing veiins) LATER your sister reassures you that mom didn't know the way you also choked back guilt with all the bile and unpleasant things in your trips to the restroom but for now you will hate yourself hate the sticky needles and hate the way your girlfriend leaves all her ghosts behind when she leaves you 4. you find that bathroom floors are your new home splayed out after your 8th overdose jail cells are just a normal tuesday and you keep waking up to razor blades left neatly on your pillow where it ends 5. giving up ****** is like pulling teeth messy and painful but typically necessary and so hard to do alone

****** Addiction at 17: a series of events that will occur in the most inconvenient way
I am not beautiful...         I am choked up tears, cover-up smiles         the kind of light that turns you blind         from having too less or more than enough. I am not beautiful...         I am scratched out scars, burnt out heart         the kind of storm that wrecks up lives         creeping stealthily through the night. I am not beautiful...         I am not your quintessential girl         the kind that walks with a perfect stance         swaying waist of 26" and pretty face all made up I am not beautiful...       **I am edges and curves, messy hair and everything you never dreamt of        The kind that repulses you by skin, and attracts you by mind        Someone you'll never know because. . .** I am not beautiful.
