And were smart, hardworking

palms sweat
hands shaking
Look for an out.
Mind goes blank, eyes dart all over the place.
Blood pressure rises  you start turning pale.

head ache

With subconscious desire
  my blood pressure on fire

And the needle ready to break
  through the glass

I try to calm down

salt and sugar
pull the trigger
high blood pressure diabetes
fight wars without any treaties
good food is much too sweet
causing some a defeat
alternatives are there
so keep yourself aware
think healthy and pure
fins and wings for sure...

You Quiz-puzzlers out there,
I hope you take care,
And don't sucumb to high blood pressure,
Please don't implode like the good sub, U.S.S. Thresher,
So take it in stride,
With the answers I do hide,
And you'll wake up all that much fresher...

I HATE how it squeezes
It unnerves and freezes
Blood pounds through the arm
Setting off my alarm
Read her face like a book
(The nurse has that look)
"It's high to the max"
"Just try to relax!"
"You're close to a stroke"
(Lord, I need a smoke)...

Caffeine

Soothe my nerves
Soothe my soul
Like a cup of gold

Black as an ace
Bitter as aloe

Increase the adrenaline
Up the heart rate
Low blood pressure treats

Decaff is a joke
Ill-conceived beverage
Makes me want to choke

She couldn't unsee what she saw.
 Frozen in shock, she dropped her jaw
           Quickly averting her eyes;
          Her blood pressure did rise!
  Protester took to the field in the raw.

Midst blood pressure surge, thanksgiving for God's blissful peace* engulfs me.

culture shock welcomed
so weird taking it easy

  take that one for nerves

  through a pill-free diet

    would sure like to try it...

you burn in me
a raging inferno
raising my blood pressure
quickening my pulse
a touch of a hand
lips that whisper
an urgent lover's song

let me sing it with you
as you lay me down
under dark velvet skies
as I softly sigh
sing this lullaby again and again
sing this lullaby...

Wait, wait, when will I learn
Getting there early is for the birds.
Here they come right on time,
By now I'm stressed out of my mind.

Oh well, oh well, I'll never change
Which sends my Blood Pressure on a rampage.
So I'll just take another pill
Which I'm sure will cure all my ills....
