...no Air by firestar(f): 10:47pm On May 30, 2020
Breathe

Good versus evil
Evil versus good
Should Good cheat
Good seems evil
Should Evil lax
Evil seems weak

No air in lungs
And it’s no virus
Kneed to submission
Airways are blocked

Right in plain sight
And held down by four
Cuffed and beaten
By those who are Law

Release
I can feel
The return of air
I won’t bend
To your spell
I am free

Breathe easy
Breathe well


Face to the Most High
Your Time Tells

Breathe!


#Inhale True Justice

Your grammar composition on stanza 2 isn't up to standard .

The first two lines are bland
Re: ...no Air by PricyTech: 10:57pm On May 30, 2020
Last and first stanza is dope .

I'll advise you use I'm instead of I am

It's more mature

Uncut version
I am not in the right state of mind.

But thanks Bruh.

Termite Grub

Nibble,
the organic dead:

...bamboo
...sycamore
...cashew

Pulvérisé
the zombie lead:

...glass
...ore
...quartz

Flee oh garden bed!
Full wiry vines
Bloated fruit
Needled spikes!

Flee oh gourd
For termites nibble
On pots
Made of lead...

How is this a poem when nothing rhymes?
Re: ...no Air by firestar(f): 11:40pm On May 30, 2020
Unhinged

My style knows no rules
I’ll rhyme when I choose
Or not...
It’s unhinged
It’s raw
Be careful Love,
I’m a rebel poet outlaw

Not a perfectionist
But flawed...

Haïku or Sudoku
Rhythm and Poetry
Classical themes
All I’ve explored through
It’s just being me
Balancing on the beams

So before you get singed
I’m unhinged

How Much Longer?

A quarter to midnight
Tpp! Tpp! Tpp!
I type...

What should be inked tonight?
Tpp! Tap! Tap!
I type...

The birds of prey
Tap! Tap! Tpp! Tpp!
Space...

Busy aren’t they?
Tpp... tpp... Tap!
Paragraph...

Flaming up cities
Tssp... tssp... Tap!
Space...

Implicating communities...
Tap... tap... tap...
Space...

Ties are torn
Tap! Tap!
Trust is shorn
Tsppp! Tap! Tap!
A monster is born
Tap.

body of the poem? I laugh. If you write poetry or you know about poem you'd have known there's no such thing like 'body' of a poem.

Hey Firestar. Long time. I love that you have created a poem thread. Miss the club and you. It’s almost midnight here, so I’m off to bed. I’ll check in tomorrow.

Rehash and Return


Ocean eyes kept her sane...
Strong arms kept her steady
Even at recess,
It won’t be the same...
A pocket in time
Where one can hide
Safely within another being
Healings intense and sublime...
Till one gets home
Home is safe
Safe, cozy and snug
Safe to brittle completely
And heal whole...
Re: ...no Air by firestar(f): 8:47pm On Jun 27, 2020
Do You Know...

Do you know,
There’s a curse flying...
Eager to run its course
It’s seen with the unjust dying
As iron turns to rust

Do you know,
It is a form of script
On both sides inked...?
The size of a stadium
And more names ticked?

Do you know,
It’ll stay,
Upon a house,
Till desolation~
Have its way?

[] Rise

Reborn

After flames to dust
A violent Storm roars

A deluge of sulphur
A downpour

So fearless and boldly:

Let’s meet at Skyfall
Where the little horn drags the stars,
And tramples legions’ shrine...
Where filth is scoured
Where horrors thrust in limelight
Where beloved idols bow
Where the roots uproot
Where Script is spent

Just a little longer
A little longer

We rise
Reborn
We’re not beat

We will rise again.

Like Sea before Earth was birthed:

Formless.

Like landscape before Man explored:

Wildness.

Like sky before light shone:

Darkness.
.

. ...mined...
And see my limbs unaligned...
.
... tangible...
As a berg floats and melts...
.
.
....blind...
The Spirit is my guide...

I’ve only come this far
With crisscross stripes,
Raisin skin,
And Star crossed eyes...
With and without scars.
