Short Compounding Poems

Our real investment is love
Is it compounding?
Or losing?

There spelt some say so badly
acceptance might be taken sadly
but
Why should accuracy matter
writing talking of delusion
thereby compounding a fault...

Love’s compounding 
Enumeration 
Of inner interest
The summation of our hearts
Affection 
Is appreciation 
Serving desire 
Through our end…together...

acceptance taken sadly

Why should accuracy matter

just compounding fault !...

Oh have I spelled it incorrectly
Does it matter maybe it does
Or maybe not

Why should accuracy matter
When writing of delusion
Compounding fault...

Deposit after deposit, memory is stored,
interest compounding anew

To transfer its balance of riches and gains
—avarice must first bid adieu

Just a Beleif

acceptance might be taken sadly

Why should accuracy of the matter matter
writing and talking of the delusion delusional 
compounding the fault like a fool

Just a Belief...

In Each Endeavor

Scientists are excellent in each endeavor;
Constantly compounding things and clever;
Study much;
Stay in touch;
Do remain responsible always and forever.

Am currently reading "Undeniable,"
2015 by Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Pressure compounding on the center of my chest 
One weight that I cannot lift 
Physically strong but emotionally out of shape 
The cool breeze of the night air kisses my neck, 
The spec of hope during the hard times 
Silver lining in the Raider's Jacket 
Minimal but powerful imagery...

Exponentially excited amalgamation

The ownership of my strength

Geometrically wielding my radius boundary

Compounding circles sharing equivalently

In the thirsting power of my vortex

Bending sheer influence of my vertical sovereign wind

Unleashing aftermath of my restructured points chosen...

One after another-
I fail to fast an egg for another-

one after another...

I ready reasons-
corroding all of the studded,

I claim to be beamed-
compounding my bummers,

shouting to withstand,

or reprimand my shudder,

ending in the rudder,

rotating a lover,

loading of the stowaways hover....

Oh spiracle sight-
will you drop me and break me
lest I ingest of an oxygen taste?
Everything now is indulged ultraviolet
Compounding eyes, allegorical face
Liquid from apples returned to the ground
Nectar envisioned it brings
Breathe me, receive me 
It's chemically easy
as spiracle siblings attached on the wings....

Star strung
like Bette Davis Sundays
marathon watching 
and sitting in tears
Wrestling emotions
which calm and confuse us
Confound us and move us
beyond golden years
Broken
like black and white vision
fuzzy and stationed
with grey rabbit ears
Lost in commotion
which break and betray us
which bullet gun lays us
compounding our fears....

Sitting here, blanketed, the night is so dark
I look through my window and up at the stars
But something is missing, my heart sends a cue
That something is someone, that someone is you
All that you are I'm just waiting to know
But what I know so far I hold in escrow
With compounding interest I've yet to realize
The fact that you're priceless I do recognize...

In the mist of the strom 
The eye of uncertain feelings come
Asking the questions who, what, when where
Then why so long
Silent partner called on
Waiting in sureness 
Enjoying the right out look
Dressing up in spirit
Forming and focusing the God step
To remain at this time 
Hard pressed to find
Strength holding of love
Situations compounding 
Moved with arousing
Faith lasting...

There spelt some say so badly
acceptance might be taken sadly

Why should accuracy matter
writing talking of delusion
thereby compounding fault 

Or maybe not 
let them slice each others throats

Both writing such rubbish poetry about religion
hate their minds all addled just so much indecision

All drinking coke drooling dreaming of relaxed blondes
Hate in their minds trapped by parents tied in their bonds...

Punctuated by the virtual fifth degree, 
 he placed his neck on the line,
 the sucking, pinching tidal wave to slip away from the soft comforts and relapsed boredom.

 The new, energized voices, never spelling the conventional way,
 the pages of books he'd read, once or twice, erased and reread, compounding and retreating back to proto-motion.

 The motion that is now, clear to him, a cog in a single machine....

The burst soapsuds dissipate.
Six doves outside my window
Enjoy their meal, congregate.
Wings whirr, head to the gingko

Baby phoebes see surroundings.
With wide mouths expose tastebuds
Hunger each day compounding!
I look, then see burst soapsuds   

So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone.

The warbles of Rapture reverberate at the edges of me and of you
Mixing, melding, and compounding the essential with the abused
While truly losing what differs and brightens the things that make move

Blackened, bloated corpses stood on foot like clustered trees in copses
Arms that dangle, 
Holding rotten fruit
With visions of ravens and vultures
Pecking
Pecking
Pecking
Pecking to allow the sweet release
That sweet and welcomed black...

Woven together like fine mesh
A perfect fit of flesh with flesh
Handshaking

Mutual between romancers
Affirmations flow like dancers
Handwritten 

Pearl earrings, dress of lace
Roses, baby's breath, and vase
Hand-chosen

A diamond in a ring of gold
The framework of a new house sold
Handcrafted

Young bride and groom, fifty years wed
Sunrises and sunsets ahead
Handholding

Too often I am sure I read the world aright
When only my own heart it is obscuring light
And few often I would turn again
To deny its purpose in my pain
But would not know who there to meet
Except compounding error in retreat
Yet if you are sorry that I say not I am sorry
I shall not deny your coming
Not from your forgiveness seek to hurry
Since there is so much fixing in forgiving
Let me not though be sorry in defeat
If I my purpose, God-given, finds itself to be complete...

When western winds in my ear sing
The memories of rivers bring
A horseman

Cut of rough land and bronze timber
Surefooted walk, lean and limber
Horsepower

I fumbled where he was at ease
Our hands would touch in flirty tease
Of horseplay

Through golden grass, me and my guy
Galloping free to chase the sky
On horseback

Now, in my city life, I keep
Over my bed, to grace my sleep
One horseshoe.
