Long Constrict Poems

So cramped ...
Strain to move,
Flex and budge in tiny increments ...
That's the limit.
Constantly testing, trying,
Pushing, pressing ...
Constrict, exert, constrict, struggle,
Spin slowly, push ...
That's it. That's all.
Nothing more.
But it helps ... relief,
A body sigh ...
But only...

I am sexually attracted to intelligence.

Intimate conversations springing from an

eloquent mind, undressing my conscience

and making love to my thoughts.

Giving me cerebral stimulating orgasms from

live interchange of mind blowing discussions,

direct transmissions tickling my wordsmith

senses in a...

Arduous agonizing affliction
doth unrelentingly assail...
aghast to exhale lest...lose
desperate clinging clutch
held by bloodied cracked fingernail
phantasmagoric tendrils constrict

stoppering me to whisper or wail
yawning abyss menacingly beseeches
hmm...release could immediately curtail
cumulative (lifetime's worth) travail
freefalling, pirouetting unnervingly,
unstoppably, unwaveringly... zipping

Not for the contest

No more do I despair 
writing for contests with an off the wall theme
Those that want me to create a nightmare
from what was once a beautiful dream.

No more do I care

Wisdom tooth, the oral root of prophesy
I respect you with all my worth
When you speak my eyes come
I wake up and turn as you order
I constrict like a serpent stung
At your command I fizzle like...

I as in ego, versus I as soul,
indicates there are two of us in here,
so whilst playing out our ordained life role,
what is the vibration, our heart holds dear?
Just like Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde,

My mind is already at the finish line
Right before the gun fired
My mind is already at the finish line waiting to foresee

Such an ironic plight in blinding light of day,
his appreciation, the cruel blindfold o’er eyes,
after his dark time served in dank cell of dismay,
taken out at dawn, a bright morn for his demise.

Digging into and detecting deep roots gives me a thrill.
Though raking up the foregone quarrels is a tiresome drill,
Values I have lost in the name of modernization,
Traditions that, like ancient hills, succumbed to damnation...
Should threads...

Trapped behind these bars
I grow anxious and continuously scheme
For a way to get out.
But this cage is extensive
And its door is a long ways out.

I try to squeeze through, but they constrict
And ultimately I fail.

I inflict and solicit my scripts strict to set out a rhythmic therapeutic antic/
While I’m poetic I’ll constrict any rap artists...

Words of innocence that reach my ears,
The chains constrict yet I still feel you.

I can't see you for your soul is bright,
but you can see me through shadows that consume my right.

Goodbye so absurd, we'll start anew.
Our shared years, keep me alive.

The length of my days were shortened by darkness.
Darkness, like snow, never ends.
Pupils accustomed to the light of autumn
Dilate, then constrict.

I fell helpless into a pile of snow;
Helpless because...

Heart Folds

Beginning so small
this mound of tissue
time's perpetual resuscitation
life's bellows for passion
protection's engine of flow

So simple its form
this muscle of pulsation
innocent of harm's way
liquid breathing of body's dependence
wanting only to maintain tomorrow's awakening

Sentries stand guard
immunity's...
