My goodness, I am drowning
Under my own body’s immune system response
Can’t breathe, my throat is on fire, my voice is silenced
Useless coughing causes my core to ache
Sneezing to loosen up the solid wall of …

Limit (an acrostic poem)
Looking for that little bit more
I push the pace past what was comfortable into the red zone
Making me breathe harder, faster
It rips a growl from my soul as hit that wall
Then I break through that ceiling. On to that next level.
Extinct (an acrostic poem)
Every single one of them were gone
X marked the spot where the last one had died
That seemed such a minor thing at the time, and yet
It was the beginning of the end for the rest of us
Now I stand here to make another monument
Chiseling an X using my fingernails on the spot I stand
This is where the last of us will take their final breathe
Pain (an acrostic poem)
Punishing waves of agony crash along your nerves
And as they recede they leave riptides of aches behind
It makes it difficult to breathe, to think
Now you wonder if you can tough it out, or if this time it will break you
Bath (an acrostic poem)
Bubbles piled high upon the water
As she slipped underneath the water’s surface
The hot water became intimate, kissing her whole body
Her need to breathe forced her to surface, but she still felt the love

Breathe (an acrostic poem)
Bringing in the air slowly
Releasing it through his lips
Every cycle a glimpse into her scent
As he kissed her neck
That touch caused her to gasp
He trembled as he pulled back
Even the air seemed to shimmer
