"swollowed" poems
Alone the groans of humanity that were once united in love at last. finds its rest . We wait for a call that never comes , and close our eyes in death . Now the cricket finds its leaf on some Tunisian shores weaves silk it’s song of love , just as My hand reaches out to yours only for you to flinch and turn from love . the pebble washed over by the shore  finds itself on ship wrecked Oceans of thee . Where once lovers walked hand in hand their love like the sands of time exposed . Like pebbles stolen from the beach where once Greek lovers found  play ,Their. wedding songs bliss , hand in hand on moon set tidel bays . So the twilight casts its gaze , Soon my time moves ever on  , the midnight flyer i once caught Only to never find the one . Love and death have yet to follow me , their paths I know not well , the sunshine tomorrow’s ring brings sage of old to tell . Out of these dark ages Saxon roamed , Autumn leaves once green in bloom , have turned a golden brown only now to deaths decay . Their  sorrows winter shall take and find , An Ampetheatre of Chicken bones they gorge, eight thousand demon hoards , helmet , belt and sword and my victory is assured . “ Now set the table honey just mix the salad dear “   “ Look mother an olive all by itself can I have it please ? ” “Yes , now wash your hands “ and i was swollowed , ...whole ..

Chicken salad .
We have made mistakes before in the past, I hope thorns don't grow from them in the future. I hope to only see roses in our garden. I want to throw up all my worries, I can't hold them down any longer. I've always been so scared, and you know that. But I'm just looking out for myself I hope you understand. One night is all it takes, I let my needs take over and stop the worries momentarily. My guard was down, And I still felt secure with you. You were my confidence and you took away my torture. The bed was so inviting and so was the skin that you wear. I wanted to be soaked in y(our) sweat, and to float in y(our) panting. You dance your fingers up and down my spine, They cause goose bumps to follow behind. They exposed my fear that still lingered under my skin, but I still let you in. Nothing could be better then having you by my side. What if at the end of the song that we are singing together doesn't get to be on repeat because the audience isn't calling for an encore. No more melody to caress me to sleep because your touch will be gone. I keep my door locked on the inside because I don't want you to leave, and my dear I've swollowed the key. Maybe we are trapped in this pool of mixed emotions, battle of us versus them. And the future can only tell who will win. A perfect then doesn't always make for a perfect now. No pill could **** all the worries I feel.

Worried.
At times in my life i asked for help but no one came At times I felt abandonned within this skin At times i hated all that was my life The knife was too sharpe The stone too hard And peoples hearts were too transparent God sent jesus He also sent his forgotten angel lucifer The bringer of light Through his darkness We turn the night into day We turn nightmares into illusions He got swollowed up into the plan which god created A darkness darker than any humans heart We in our physical form felt the darkness The strong ones manage to climb through To become enlightened They will be True survivors in eternity But the souls of some Can't take the strain Death and disallusion Was never the aim As we become lighter So can lucifer take his his place once again By God's right side Now tell me Who really is the saviour of men

Bringer of light
Purgatory feels like... A dance with the devil who wears my lovers face. It feels like a disregarded boiling tea kettle of our responsibilities that is ready to burst. You hand it back to me as if it were an unwanted gift, making promises with fingers crossed in attempt to silence me. You force it into my arms and my arms alone as you are shaking your head in disapproval.  Selfish snakes have stolen your once sweet tongue, now sour, as you ignore the fact that I already bare the weight of the world which clings onto my shoulders. Animosity swells inside me as two lives crash and burn. You walk away disconnected from it all, continuing on in your child-like life in a cusioned bubble of ignorant bliss. I am swollowed by quicksand inside this burning fictional house we built - standing here, paralyzed, mouth sunk open in disbelief. As you walk away...

Purgatory
Bring me a lantern dear , Strike out the fire , for my bed awaits me at this late hour . The curtain is drawn , my blanket lies o , I rest my weary head , and Oft to bed I go . Awake me in a thousand years , Why don’t you , and watch over me as I sleep I pray , until I awake. . For as long as I slept the earth froze , or cooked , or both ! and hell ( they called it that ) men died from its Icey breath ,         and even they cursed the day they were born . Vermin rats mice scurried then froze to death as even they found no relief from its polar vortex . For babies were left out to die in its falling snow , Old men stumbled and fell near their homes , of which even they did not see again . I turned and the earth burnt , It’s heat burnt forests and grass land as I slept , if the suns rays didn’t then man set woodland alight , for the thrill . Men abandoned their pursuit of recreation and kept indoors , Until the heat from the sun had ran its course , and the earth found shade in the shadows of its night . I turned again , Fly tippers left their unwanted garbage over farm land , at the end of the streets , In the country where ever they liked , for no one cared , Certainly not them . Silt turned to mud and buried towns and fields , and man looked ever on lost in grief , or weighing their silver on scales of death . Creatures of the deep of every kind lied dead from plastic bags and toys of every kind , Mattresses., Supermarket trolleys dumped . Cans of fizzy drink were left discarded tossed on beaches . Migrants sailed from their captive shores on dingy unfit for the sea . they were swollowed whole by the great waters . . I turned again , Children wrote obscenity s on walls for their thrill , carried knives and stabbed each other , for their own gratification. Then A man who slept in a doorway awoke to freezing wind , a lady bent down with  hot broth to warm his poor heart again . Children with bags in hand picked up litter , And I awoke after a thousand years of wrong , the sun cranked the ice on rivers and lakes , and the man fell in love with the world again .

A thousand years of sleep .

I think of the waves Crashing into the **** The rocks are sturdy there In west port washington. And on the rocks A shorebird got closer To where I stood proud On the unmovable Pile of boulders. I could tell you This was it. But a star fish Exposed the air I breath In a moment of beauty. The waves flicker like lite bulbs. The split seconds are eons With out times way of saying Got ya now. You know How the you And ocean. Meet in the shores And die in the earth. How can the spirit of mythology Tell me the rocks where once human. And the boy told his mother you swollowed A pebble. He returned to free his uncles. They called him the stone boy. if I stand here for four days Ill break down like gravel in the grange.

im sorry that i hurt you, you know that i would do anything to make those brown eyes shine. if only i could rewind and turn back time, i was so wrong and out of line, i have never been a friend of mine. im sorry that i whine, and get jealous that im too clingy and dont give u enough space, but when your gone sometimes its hard to carry on, i know its wrong, but i miss seeing your face. i love you more than life itself, i hate it when we fight, i just want to cry, and nothing feels at all right, i feel like ive been swollowed by darkness, praying and crying for light.

unforgiven
Ignored once again by you, And I know how you are, Problems of your own, problems that are hard, But it doesn't ease the sting, Of the harsh words you unknowingly fling, It doesn't numb the bite, When you don't care enough to even fight! Everyday you wander farther down the Yellow brick road, Tarnished and falling apart, but bright gold Where your foot steps, Down the road to bigger and better things, The darkness in you slowly, Easing up, getting better, As my feet refuse to move, And I'm swollowed in the night, You don't glance back, And I don't fight.

Goodbye Dorothy, Dorothy of OZ.
Fatigued repetitions clinging within me tightly. I just stare, ventriloquist words speaking without verse. Petals of white, decaying within my aroma glass now dissolving. They collected dead stems..

White Petals Swollowed
You should not be on my mind, lips on hips, between my thighs. Your tounge should not be searching for my blackend soul. You're a pill..... I swollowed whole. Intoxicated, I'm addicted, I'm obsessive, loosing control. A hatred for the girls who sleep, they speak the truth, they moan free. She has something i'll never have. living thoughts driving me mad. My calls for you fall upon deaf ears, my boys sleeps like theres no fears. In my dreams and waking hours, I'm yours to take and to devour.

Yours to take, and to devour!
If I were a poet would you await my every word ? Sing a song for me the sweetest I’ve ever heard ? Would you awake for , boil an egg for , In the upper reaches of the night ? To the tingle of my bell to any given hour.? If I were a poet a thousand tongues would you egnore , just to listen to my words would you explore ..to hear  for my name behind every open door ? Would you walk with me , dance with me as the waves crash over the shore , and the moon falls foul of the sun . or would you swoon as I embraced you’re tender lips on waves that broke upon the rocks that one day will take . There might be other ladies  who wait my Poetry with their soft baited breath . If my words did not rhyme or call love birds from their nests , then would you still rest you’re head on my breast ? Drink  from my skull in the ruins of my castle my sweet Aberfa Those craggy cliffs were never meant for you or I , yet you slipped and fell from my castle on high . the sea one stormy night, the sea my mistress swollowed whole . Now I await to dance with you again , for every night I stand alone , come sea monsters foul and dam the gates to eternity prowl , there’s no time now my waiting is done , the seas have my body and my new life’s begun . This Autumn sear to fire lights feary glow shall we dance as winters come, and go .

Fire in a Pine Forest
The problem was that I was sick and nobody even noticed I was sticking a tooth brush down my throat to dispose of extra calories then I'd slice my wrist in shame because I had no self control I wore nothing but long sleeves even if it was 70 degrees out I was sick but my grades never slipped I always smiled and I never caused any trouble and when people found out my parents had the audacity to tell me it was " just a phase " even when the night before I almost swollowed two bottles of Advil

Man is evil , he stole from the tree , he ate from the orchard , the apple , the plum , the pear ripe , yet no fruit did it bear . How he builds to his own Glory , Majesty power  . How resplendent his works on the sea's , Andrews designs his workshops in the ghost of Brunel , ' even God himself could not sink ,           this ship ' How proud am I that New Yorks lights may shine bright tonight .' Faster and faster she sailed burning coal fires roared , pitch black smoke they roared , like an uncontrollable beast foaming at it's mouth , Child and mother and Father did not awake , or like cattle with rats left to their fate . Nothing was spared for the great and the good , Oysters , French ice cream , Cream of Barley , Hors Doeuvie , Roast Duck and apple sauce . lumps of ice on deck enter this cold spring dawn that could only bring death . The wealthy sailed in boats that heard Angels cry , dolls and chairs , Kitchen pots and plates , mothers held their babies as salt waters swell . Only the moon that night could ever give away it's secrets to it's starry hosts . Children were tossed into sacks , then into nets pulled up into the Carpathias  ***** , Women wandered like lost souls looking for the're men as dawn broke so did the reality of their never ending night . New Yorks lights shone bright that night , not for Titanics waters did they part , Pier fifty four greeted the survivors to such surprise . The thousands that gathered with grief and questions in their eyes . How many dead ? the death toll rise, to this never ending night until the violin played and fell forever silent to the sea , nearer my God , yes nearer my God to thee . All that remained the crashing of each wave , the Atlantic Ocean swollowed whole , Swollowed whole .

The teeth inside my head Swollowed And overdosed on doubt Clamping my jaw shut The only thing that poured out Was oxygen Escaping my lungs Adding fuel To a already bitter furnace Inflating a over indulged balloon Ready to expload
