a workman-like
attititude
can become
a tour-deforce,
to express
to explore
without a 
proviso:
a reciprocal
to compensate..
a
neglected
imagination...

Your soul is more important than all the money in the world. A grand a day for the foul works of your tongue is not enough to compensate the loss of your soul.

Percent of time

Truth, fate
we

It might not be the sharpest of blades,
But that doesn’t mean I can’t skin a deer and,
Rather than curse the inefficiency of the instrument,
Wonder at my own ability to compensate for its dullness....

She utters faint sounds,
I swear they're syllables,
But they sure aren't words.

Hidden behind veils,
Of succulent red flesh,
And rigid white bone.

Her "words" shatter glass,
But will never compensate,
For their lack of worth....

One shouldn't 

worry about the lack of good looks, my friend, 

for

our Lord has found the way to compensate him

by

hiding one's real beauty, beneath the depth 

of his skin!

I was set free
By Grammerly
But Spelchek
Held me by the neck

They said AI
Could make me fly
But t’is my plight
To miss that flight

My keyboard batt’ries
Running low
To compensate
I type real slow

Then I learned
To my surprise
To get to Harvard
Just plagiarize

Logs melt slowly in a stone pit
Lights the night, in silence we sit
by fireside
Darkness afar illuminates,
as if the night must compensate
the firestorm
A battle of flames now delight
Claims the visual in the night
with fireflies


contest Fire,Earth,Wind
The Night of Fire

we heard our parents  
were afraid to deviate;
lost out own dreams fast.

Young ones of today
Grow up in virtual world;
our influence wanes.

we had listened then
we even tolerate now;
we a bridge age group. 

happy that our young
fly on the wings of their dreams;
compensate for ours.

Frida Kahlo self portrayed her face
though little feeling it was to trace
She began her art whilst ill in bed
of her marriage difficulties,much was said

Diego Rivera ,the husband of Frida Kahlo
did not always true love..show
His many infidelities made her separate
perhaps.causing her art to compensate...

feel, then fight the day
what do u think is in your way?
tell me something I'll accept as rational descision making, 
I've torn apart my heart and flesh to compensate for time your taking. 
Take this line, 
to say its mine and impress the mediator.
Shes been crying all night long, 
her eyes are sore and tender.......

I need a metaphor for this
My mood is
Perfectly balanced
In the sense that it hovers
Exactly at that mid point
With no ability to stay there
Should there be any vibration
Or breeze
To mix my metaphor
I over compensate
Or steer into it
I've never quite figured out 
How to act at the moment
I start to lose control...

To model she
         forced herself to salads,
         energetic products
         and gym
         To beautify herself,
         amounts of time,
          cosmetology ...
         To compensate,
         solitary abuses,
         stuffing
         of chocolates and
         delicatessen ,
         confectionery ... "...

Granted presence, granted love.
When you feel taken for granted
What do you? What do you say
When the "granted prsesence": feeling,
Happens because of the close ones?
Do you no longer linger?
Do you no longer compensate;
Share or care? Less?
Do you step aside and stay aloof? 
What do you do? What do we do?

Granted Presence....

I am tired,I am winded,I am sad  I can not die,I can not leave,I am mad
Come and relieve my pain   Come and compensate this sadness
Let us,build an abode for our selves
I want delicious food and tasty drinks
and a bit of smell the smell of your hair for bringing me to mood
Then i hear your lovely voice saying:I want sex for the food...

Kind of mentality
to fight for dignity
life for humanity
and living to unity.

Composite fighting for humanity
it is the truth to compensate
parents come to the fight
children silently react.

Sometimes is the professional duty
Sometimes talented possibility
Prison of the west
Read the escape of the east
Life and living ago dealt....

Feel the hurt
The pain inside
Feel the need
To over compensate
Run and hide
Reach out, reach out
Get up
Face it like a man/(woman)
Forgive those tests
Learn to bless
See the need
Fall on your knees
Don't regret
You've passed the final test
Define, demine, 
above all else
Denine
yourself

The t.v. series,
A Little Princess,
reminds me
of my dad's gift
of a dark-haired
porcelain doll...

...I gave away
to compensate
for feeling spoiled
--that I begged
for her at all

Being a generous
gift-giver was one
of my dad's
main languages 
of love

I hope even though 
I've hardly kept 
any of his gifts
he still cares--

When things are somehow going wrong
And get you in a funk,
It helps to try to lift those spirits 
That have sadly sunk.

Resorting to plan B or C
May boost your sagging state 
And going for a walk or ride
May more than compensate.

But trying different avenues 
To fix a major plight
May prove that sheer persistence 
Can make everything all right....

God knows why I can’t read my own fate!
God knows why love has turned into hate!
God knows I have no more love to waste!
God knows why I am in wretched state!
God knows why we had no tête-à-tête!
God knows why I am not your playmate!
God knows you were like my heaven’s gate! 
God knows how you can now compensate!
God knows your love could make my life great!
But it seems it has become too late!...

The world I cannot give to you,
Yet let me hold you close when you’re blue…
Hear your rants and fear
Let you be the center of this sphere
I’ll see through your hood of perfection
Through your imperfection I’ll find connection
In the sea of lies; I’d rebuild your faith
Though that one sided love I can’t compensate
Still, be the start and end of my day,
Leave me someday but here I’ll stay....
