A Compromising Position
Compromise is only a weakness between
two people who are unwilling to work together.
I dwell on this statement. Just what does it mean?
Well, if with another you refuse to work,
I would have to say it’s very clear
your unwillingness makes you one big jerk.

To Journalists Compromising
Walking here and there,
Scrounging for messages of Care,
Journalists of the day.
Standing by at door or gate
Spirited, to interrogate the great.
A long-serving microphone,
Miking words from those interviewed,
And an esteemed bagged camcorder on the shoulder;
Always await eventual days
So they’d pace with grace
But, their presentations tremble under status’ feet
Whereto their integrity doth greet.
Their job hence counts slackness of

Compromising Positions
A night that truly almost never came
A number that I almost never called
And yet when I look back I am enthralled
Since then my life has never been the same
We met and I knew nothing but your name
How could I plan when nothing, I recalled
My nerves had taken over and I stalled
I never knew just how

Life Can Be Compromising
"Living here can be compromising"
says Dad to Danny
in a John Irving novel.
Isn't that our universal truth?
Living here is a compromising series of on-purpose accidents.
Living is compromising
with mortality heavily favored to win out,
maybe short-term,
maybe later.
But these odds
between two categories
switch places
between eight looking toward sixty-four,
and sixty-four looking longingly back toward eight,
measuring all small and large compromises
erupting through

Never Compromising
Never Compromising
My heart has moved on and tears have been shed.
Patience spread thin, relationship is dead.
When I talk you don't respond, withdrawn!
Tears have been shed and my heart has moved on.
Love was not enough, so much for destiny!
Tough, walking on eggshells is misery!
This life together has gotten rough
So much for destiny, love was not enough!
Never

Compromising Pain
Compromised
By pain
Joy is contained
Putting me
In an awkward,
Position
I want to let the joy show
That I know
But this little wall of pain
Often blocks my ray,
Of joy
So I sustain,
Discomfort
One can only wonder
What
Is the compromising agent
Which makes,
My joy appear vacant
Making the mind
The body
The soul
Frustrated
One can only wonder
What, is the answer
...

Compromising Fix
You're over there staring at
the sun within your eyes
Curiosity knows no bounds
with out ever a compromise
dignified with beauty as
you turn around and walk away
speaking with the wisdom
that comes from a certain love
I want to know you better
i'm going to learn from our past
I want to kiss your reflection
going to make you
