ELEPHANT

An elephant is sitting on my chest,
It's comfortable there,
I want it anywhere
But have his butt exactly there to rest.

He crushes every silly hope to breathe.
He loves to hear me wheeze,
I cannot even sneeze.
He's chosen me to be his favourite seat.

If you, sweet friends, do know...

A brother-in-law has suffered from asthma all his life
Told my sister he'd die young, now 70 years his wife
Married in spite
Ninety years, still in flight
Sure had a great life in spite of the strife...

I fight this struggle every day.
I struggle to respire.
Like drawing air through a straw.
I'm always craving more.
I just never get quite enough.
I sit motionless, for conservation.
Afraid to expend my much needed energy,
energy needed to live.
My wheezing is strained.
Daily, I spar with my disease.
One day, I'm...

Count 1, 2 or 3 failed breaths
Insatiable hunger in my chest
Breathe, struggle, gasp and yawn
My body drowns in the air

I always pull through, a fleeting ecstasy of relief
Feeling exhausted, I wish I could quit
The next battle begins

-Note-
Hopefully some of the awesome people I met on...

A student battling with Asthma
And vaporous Miasma
Wouldn't he pack up Charisma?
Soon, confront the sure dilemma
Of suspending his Diploma 
Or sniffing Hard Work's aroma...

Espy I do Anathema,
Its picture clearest cinema:
A man from a great deal barred
And a future that might be marred...

Worse than malfunctional plasma 
Bad...

It hits targets like A Blizzard,
Victim, breathing-wise A Lizard;
Amynophilline in one’s vein
Expected Rescue sometimes vain…

For widening The Air Chambers
And dousing of The Red Embers
Marax Tabs that quicken The Heart Beat
But effects not often The Sweet…

Helped by Cough you are just finished!
You hang on to life,...

Asthma

A dumbfounding struggle for what is plenty in the air,
The shortest of unsure breaths drawing,
The hesitant oxygen inwardly cursing;
A judging of the whole affair unfair.

My trachea thinking of its resignation letter,
Worsening the picture of Seeker of the Better;
My two lungs scheming to lock up their...

My asthma wheezing has kept me home today.
Saving my life no doubt, in a most wonderful way.
Winter advisory is on her way to dance and play.
No one who wants to live should be out today.

One of my inhalers is at school, but not a worry.
The...

My child has a love of poetry
It is rare, for she is only nine.
In her bare mind, words are potpourri
floating, rhyming by stanza, by line.

Holding a book ever so tightly
(it relieves the raw ache in her chest),
my sweet Emma floats almost nightly
carried by puffins in...

Someone smells like smoke.  I can barely stand to sit here.
Clenching my teeth, I have a headache, everywhere near.
A friendly smoker has sat next to me, oh, dear.
I jump up, because her smell is killing me, so clear.

I am an asthmatic, and I cannot...

My head is a giant ball of hurt.
I doubt I would feel a Mack truck 
If it ran over my head today
For I am already that sore.

I had heard of a head cold
But this is ridiculous.
I am so over being sick
So totally over it

Yet here...

Done it once, and done it twice. Done it simple, and done it nice.
Done it a thousand times today. She is called breathing, and she don’t play.
Done it once and done it twice. If you’re an asthmatic, you roll the dice.
If you’re an asthmatic, you...

Listen to her death certificate’ 
Who’d  fought for life’s duplicate
“Severe Anorexia
Secondary to status asthmaticus”.

Oh! How it  had rung worse than Amnesia
And had meant some asthmatic curse.

Several struggle -out “God, Receive my soul’’
As death bell was about to toll
I, to the hilt, a struck-dumb...
