CAN'T KEEP YOU IN

I breathe you in
a whiff of life
Feel you diffuse
and fill my mind

Induced rush of blood
Renewed surge through my head
Your whiff soaks through my heart
As life imparted  to the dead

Head thrown back
I gently close my eyes
Let it work its magic
As you save my life

Locking and unblocking
Throughout length and breadth
Teasing and releasing
Spanning width and depth

Sinking deeper in,
It’s hypnotism grows
Exhilarating every cell of my being
I seek you more
Alas, deceptive air,
Your ringing elation
Metamophoses to throbbing
Pricking, a  stinging sensation

Second by second,
In pieces and bits,
It corrodes and devours
Your toxicity hits

Sudden panicked heartbeat
It begins  to clog the mind
Constricted breathing
Its viscosity slowly blinds

air to mist,
Mist to smoke
Smoke to poison
Poison to choke
What filled and thrilled
Suddenly burned and blocked
Sucking life and blood
and osmotic shock

Once exhilarated smile vanishes
As life slowly drains
Once a face of serenity
Now contorted in pain

Hands; struggling and spilling
Eyes blurry: under the shadow of death
Self preservation kicks in
I cease to  hold my breath

Tears running down my cheeks,
Body struggling about,
Gasping for a breather

I choke you out
