Feeling eyes on her, she is compelled to be a bit more provocative
I keep silent that she is my mother...

Standby
Your name is called
To fly

Compelled
To keep you, I
Am held

By woe
And now I can't
Let go.

My silent cry

Here in the labyrinth...
In the crossroads of my life
In this maze ...
I find myself compelled to smile
Here where my heart isn't content
I have found peace 
In my confusion......

May the moment’s perfection upon the soul caress
	And speak whispers of love, as hearts together meld.
Joined as one, and the songs from heaven bless
	The truth of which; towards all things compelled....

A young man gave his girlfriend flowers one day 
She felt compelled to kiss his cheek right away
But when he turned his head,
She kissed his lips instead!
She got tulips when she planted a kiss I'd say!...

Compelled To Get Off of My Chest

Feel compelled to remove from my chest;
Trump has been big crook like all the rest;
Looked near and far;
Next to Trump are,
And you should be sure to see big nest.

Rapturous youth and tranquil prime, 
Withered with a weird dream.
I was compelled to enter a realm bete-noire,
That of Stephen Hawking, O dear!
Despite the 'black hole' studs,
Our realm 'emits' a glorious radiance....

Compelled to fight dirty,
in attempts to stay clean
The shadows conscripted,
clandestine and mean
Surprise as an ally,
you stalk and you spy
To vanquish the monster
—declawed and defied

I want to believe,
your heart will still whisper,
it's safe to share a feeling or thought with me,
if compelled to do so.
I am here now to listen, not dream,
remaining emotionally free.
Can this simple wish,
fit your new reality?...

physically and/or mentally, because of circumstances, 
when our deepest heart's longing is to remain in a space
formerly occupied by a soul now passed.

Follow the line
Straight to hell
Bleached in sin
Corruption compelled

Follow the lies
Evil abides
The sin extends 
The light subsides

Follow the sin
The six roads south
Until death comes collecting
While hell marches out

As I lay in my bed lit room
I mutter to myself silently
"Powerless I feel"
But, compelled to thrive 
Maddened by intruders 
Yet mastered fitfully my role in life 
Formless doesn't exist in my vocabulary 
I will quench onto faith for evermore...

a Mystic candle
enamouring Fire
             is so light --

shimmering tenuously
lurching shadows
            and listening 

intensely disinterested
neither attracted
             nor compelled --

only
waiting
with storms all around...

Pale daughters
don't follow their familial duties
or wash behind their ears
laved in white light,
they sport a smile, when necessary,
compelled by an accidental mischief
pencilled in exclusion,
rendered in the shade
we wouldn't go dancing on the almost air....

Tell Trekkies This

Did you know my head had swelled
After they did perform a mind meld
While we were on spaceship
On myself trying to get a grip
Tell Trekkies this felt compelled.
