Perhaps

If you look out into space, 
pictures on the internet 
taken from the Hubble telescope
you can see a nebula

a great big cloud of gas and dust
the birthplace of new baby suns
most of the gas is hydrogen
the gas that makes the ozone layer

hydrogen links together to build ozone,
so hydrogen is attracted to hydrogen,
yet I wonder is there a small attraction left over
after the atom's link, is there a small slight attraction

Is this slight attraction, the force that we call gravity
atoms are attracted to atoms,
oxygen links with hydrogen to form water 
perhaps, matter attracted to matter

When suns that are born 
they start out composed of mainly Hydrogen gas and dust
then having exploded into an atomic reaction
because of the growing force of gravity

they start changing overtime 
condensing slowly changing from hydrogen 
they turn into helium the next atom 
in the periodic table

as time goes by they slowly work through 
the periodic table until if they are big enough 
they turn into a lead, then they explode 
going supernova, creating dust that goes on 

to make planets, meteorites and the earth
our moon came from a collision with the earth
our moon was once apart of the earth
and broke away after the collision to become a satellite

The core of the earth is hot, perhaps because gravity, 
matter attracted to matter
the force of compounding atoms, creates an atomic reaction 
the outside shell is created because

The coldness of space cools the atoms down
creating a shell a crust around the out side of the earth
the perfect nest for nurturing life
Hydrogen appears to be the foundation of existence

I'm not sure where hydrogen comes from
perhaps the big bang theory is true
but with that much gravity 
the matter would be pure energy so no boulders

just an explosion of pure energy 
that cools down and starts forming atoms 
on becoming the smallest atom hydrogen 
would go on to form nebula clouds, suns and planets

Headed For Leadership

compound word verse

There is a worthy cause you see
could start a trend which needs to be
spearheaded.

Deal with arrogance, grand pooh-bah,
don’t act like some maharaja,
bigheaded.

Be stubborn and members you’ll lose. 
Teamwork succeeds under one who’s
clearheaded.

What to do with folks who complain,
a leader in angst must remain  
coolheaded.

Share the wealth and share applauses
lest you find your worthy cause is 
deadheaded.

I used Rhyme Zone and How Many Syllables?  
The latter lists both "coolheaded" and "deadheaded" as 4 syllable words. I  count them both as having 3 syllables. Have contacted them about these two mistakes and await a reply.??
Have found all of my compound words online at Farlex Free Dictionary.

Premium Member No Shortcuts

Can’t just jump to the finish line
Need to put in the work along the way
Would be nice to only reap the gains
But no shortcuts despite what others say

Progress needs to build upon itself
Can’t just jump to the finish line
Collecting credits creates compounding 
Building up as our thoughts begin to shine

Focus on improving the inputs 
The outputs will come in due time
Can’t just jump to the finish line
Must start at the trailhead for our climb

After reaching the summit we may
Realize the mosaic in the puzzle design
Stop to reflect before scaling a new mountain
Because we can’t just jump to the finish line

The Puzzle

Life is often filled with problems
that we cannot understand.
Surely, this must be a testing place
on the way to that fair land.

Troubles and trials fill each day.
I try so hard to solve them.
But only God has the answers.
Only He can dis-solve them.

While I try to search for one piece
of the puzzle that must be gone…
Another piece suddenly is missing,
compounding my desire to get it in place.
My solving it is only- wishing.

Only God has the answers to Life.
Only He can fit it all in place.
With His help, suddenly it slides right in.
He knows it can’t be done in haste.

If I trust in Him, He will work it all out.
Everything will surely turn out fine.
He knows what is best, but must put us to the test.
If we trust Him, He will keep us in line.

THE LONELY THOUGHTS OF AN ADDICT

i FEEL IT INSIDE OF ME,
THE DEEP DARKNESS THAT'S CRIPPLING MY MIND BODY AND SOUL,
CREEPING AND LURKING TEARING ME APART PIECE BY PIECE,
READY TO BE LET OUT,
IM SCREAMING FROM WITHIN,
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?
DOES ANYONE EVEN CARE?
IT'S ALL THESE DEMONS RUNNING RAMPID AND DEEP,
OVERFLOWING AND COMPOUNDING,
i CAN NOT SEE THE LIGHT,
MY FALME OF HOPE IS SWINDLING,
ALMOST OUT,
I WANT TO YELL OUT PLEAE SAVE MEM
BUT THE MISERY AND DARKNESS RESTRAINS ME,
IF I OPEN MY CHEST OF AGONY ,
WILL YOU BE THERE TO CONSOLE ME?
HOLDING ME CLOSER AND TIGHTER,
UNTIL MY SUFFERING IS DONE,
CAST OUT ALL MY DEMONS,
AND SAVE ME FROM MYSELF


A Million Tears

It's often said that true love 
comes but once,
Truly in your case it came 
with a bunce
Should i say letting u go 
was the worst thing i have 
ever done
And the greatest mistake i 
have made under the sun
It's like a nightmare
Mixed with so much horror 
and  despair
Like a door to everlasting 
happiness
Closed With a seal of 
unending sadness
Like a sweet smile that 
fades
Fast and drawers near than 
a decades
 like a silent pain whose 
hurt never feels
But also as a broken heart 
whose pain never heals
Tears of blood falls from my 
broken heart
For once i never thought we 
would be apart
Sometimes i wonder how it 
all got to this very point
At the thought of it sends 
shock waves all around my 
joint
Truly they say love is blind
Cos your presence i can no 
longer find
My eyes filled with tears
And the thought of not 
having you compounding 
my fears
Each day my heart aches
Cos my whole world is filled 
with quakes
A treasure i once had in the 
palm of my hand
But now all lost and 
forgotten like an 
abandoned land
You made a void in my 
heart which only you can fill
And started a dream only 
you can fulfil
Your face hunted my 
dreams
All through when all i hear 
is your screams
It took too long for me to 
realise that
You are the only one that 
suits my heart
You are the best thing i 
ever had
Losing you will forever 
make me sad
when you went away my 
world turn cold and gray
Peering into the mirror i 
don't know what to say
To hope on your return or 
finally say goodbye
For am missing you as the 
day go by
Now the question is how do 
i find hope in a brand new 
day?
When i let the most 
priceless friend i have ever 
had to go away
I guess i just have to stick 
with what tomorrow brings
And to live forever with the 
pain of it sting

Premium Member Drip

Drip Drip Drip
A drop here and a drop there
They all add up, without any flair
Drip with a penny
Drip with a nickel
Drip with a quarter
Drip with a dollar
Over and over
This is how
Poets one day
Become rich enough to write and stay
With time to think and time to ponder
How mathematical compounding is such a wonder
Math and science and philosophical notes
Fate and destinies become very mote
We are, what we are
We will be what will be
With a little education
We can become more free
So I kiss the artistic mind that one day
Taught me compounding is here to stay


Notes:  A DRIP = Dividend Re Investment Program, often offered by 
Big companies to allow the small investor to accumulate shares in a company.

The Unborn Sun

Blooming lavender lilac print,
                                        splashed on the hues of April tint;
                               
                                    your sundress.


   Perky eyes curious spring face,
                                      will love old stories of the space
                                     
                                       at sundown.

   Bubbling life in taciturn swan,
                                    changing patterns shadowed upon
 
                                           sundial.

   Whispered lullabies melt around,
                                      resting on my lap dreaming sound

                                         till sunrise.

   Awaiting your sweet soothing muse,
                                       reviving kiss for morning blues
     
                                        my sunshine.

Premium Member Apex?

When an apex predator behaves unnaturally
The balance of power becomes upsetting
The scale is not just immeasurable
It's behaving dysfunctionally

Reason is cast aside
When sides are paramount
Differences mounting to the sky
Becoming mountainous, unassailable

  Forgetting we rose from the ooze
  We didn't choose what was discarded
  But it was nature made that choice for us
  And not something lightly regarded

The borders crossed were nature's own
And no one owned what was provided
No one claimed as theirs alone
What only nature has decided

What's unbecoming to presume
Has become our nature to resume
Some think that challenging is treason
And choosing sides is tantamount to reason

	Ignoring what has led us here
	In willful ignorance compounded
	Compounding what leads only to fear
	And thoughts of our ascent unfounded

Premium Member Dividends of Love

How heavenly these memories I’ve stored
with you. Warm August days, strolling on piers
that gently rock and sway. Worries ignored;
right now, our bag of gold. On hold, the tears.
Deposits in my mental bank – warm nights
watching the darkening eastern sky together…
then magic! Full moon rises in our sights
to surf the bay (except in cloudy weather).
Investments paying dividends; as now
we watch the news update today’s death toll.
Businesses closed, new wrinkles on my brow,
compounding bad news borrows from your soul.
Remind me to recall when life was good -
help me withdraw fond memories as I should.
