"claustrophobe" poems - Hello Poetry

a hammerhead percussion box: an inert crystalline cymbalist’s gong. a confession of tined tuning forks of perhaps a familiar keyboard? the siren sphere rings of a chime— brittle yet consciously polite, composed by nature’s ragged pen: plinking injections; stymied to tin. ! let it all reduce the klang to mere cacaophony ! a descent of bells, i am in plume, a riddle delivered in aged runes— evenheaded shots of ****** cut by the lotto wanderlust: fractal prism, stormy rhythm, thunder’s din to rainy hymn. up those tulip-eared scales, so brisk, the glugs and gurgles of cosmopolis. ! let it all reduce the tolling to glorious symphony ! a vagabond melody, no metronome, a metallurgist’s claustrophobe, an orchestral performance at home, where i am absolved in the entrancing drone...

In the bain marie of life The boiling, evaporated water underneath, Scolds untrained fingers and hands. Unscathed are the extremities of workers who serve: Little Hitlers and Maos, awaiting to have their egos inflated, and their endowments stroked. All so they can perpetrate atrocities in a world craving for more, entertainment. All so they can penetrate their animosity towards girls craving for more containment. Prepare ingredients in metal tray, made from Futuristic technology. Erected steel, carved and shaved, moulded to perfection. Finesse in Postmodern civilisation, Allowing hungry Delinquent to stuff cake holes with garbage. Gruel, bangers, tripe and trotters, spotted **** black pudding, haggis, bulls testicles. Plastic. Gum, and wrapper. Thrown, in bin. Mess and stink. Perforating orifices and permeating nasal passageways. Kitchen sink, The end of day arrives Sanitation process occurs. The end of shift awaits. She takes off sweat filled hair cap, Takes off juice stained chef pants. Kicks off steel capped boots. Pulls out Smelly, Sock. Rest in bed, to awake for new day. Gravity raises the sun. Rinse and repeat bain marie reheat.

Keep your friends close But your enemies closer, So you can punch them whenever you want to. Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me, If you can still fool me thrice, you're really clever. Success is 1% inspiration And 99% perspiration Plus a thousand prayers, just for good measure. There's a rainbow Always after the rain Just make sure you don't look at the clouds at night. It's always darkest Before the dawn So set your alarm to six or seven in the morning. There's always light At the end of a tunnel A claustrophobe has two things to worry about.

Stale air, claustrophobe— a terrible fit for a coffin, this person— he can languish here. A good warmth, the kind you feel after bourbon deep in your chest, yes, a very good warmth— the kind you won’t find here. Here, is where, as gentlemen say, “the wicked rest” as there is, indeed, no such rest for men like that. I am wicked, I suppose, wicked in my own way, so I deserve the test. I will languish here.

Exile, For The Truly Deserving

Stale air, claustrophobe— a terrible fit for a coffin, this person— he can languish here. A good warmth, the kind you feel after bourbon deep in your chest, yes, a very good warmth— the kind you won’t find here. Here, is where, as gentlemen say, “the wicked rest” as there is, indeed, no such rest for men like that. I am wicked, I suppose, wicked in my own way, so I deserve the test. I will languish here.

When night comes wearing it's black robe When pain encloses me i struggle to breathe because i am claustrophobe When regrets clogs my throat When my mind is like a blank note When suffering in my blood starts to flow It kills me once, but then I grow A pen and a paper with words, my thoughts who shape Out of this feeling of helplessness, this is my only escape. #nk

ESCAPE

When night comes wearing it's black robe When pain encloses me i struggle to breathe because i am claustrophobe When regrets clogs my throat When my mind is like a blank note When suffering in my blood starts to flow It kills me once, but then I grow A pen and a paper with words, my thoughts who shape Out of this feeling of helplessness, this is my only escape. #nk

Memories, few I have now. Which is better, if you think how? I do not think it was planned. I pray it was never intended, I hope it was destined. I would love to believe, that it was a bad timing. A result of mixed up, wrongly fused confusion. I knew from the beginning, or should I say from the ending. This love of mine won’t work out. And so you left. I burned out. And you couldn't even see the damage. My hot tears scaling down and leaving scars on my skin. The noise that your absence left behind. The clutter, the mess, the chaos and the scrapes and the caramel taste of the days gone by. You rejected me. I rejected me. Until, I was a claustrophobe I couldn't breathe. But, then I cracked open. And light seared through my aching, contused soul. I stitched my unbolted ends. But the flowing thread faltered. I erupted. I detonated. Leaving myself weak and disrupted. So, I laid in the sun and I allowed. The wind, the storm, the rain came, and I weathered whatever they gave. I stayed open and empty. And finally opened my eyes. I discovered, you ruined us but you hadn't ruined me. I was glistening, glittering, shimmering and glowing. My aching soul that was burnt and pressurized had now, crystallized. Dear, you whisked away the love. But, you left behind a diamond. So, thank you. © TanyaC. 2015.
