A sigh leaves my soul, 
Compress beauty into words, 
Haikus, such a task!...

Futuristic melodies
And the beat of a broken drum
Compress my mind
While a single tear
Slides up my face
In reverse
As I take back the words
I never said...

Everyday has become more challenging
I compress my feelings of loneliness
Entertaining myself with uplifting words
In search of a way to create happiness 
Outwitting the minds illusion of being alone....

Its flow an accordion,
to stretch and compress
A double delusion,
old memory suppressed
New moments upon us,
the instant revealed
Time claiming them all
—redundant concealed

Evening calm 
Calling your name 
It's almost dusk 
And whom do you trust 
Randomly you spread your wings
You're flying solo you're free 
...free as you fly in the brisk sky

WEAKNESS
I am winning over my greatest weakness
Don't you see that we will never overcome to depress
Let's shake off the reality of compress
Universe is the combination of all the things to access

Sometimes I feel electricity.
Anxiety.
Using my brain as an outlet for 
It's cyclic nature.
A build up of feeling
and emotions
Like a cold compress placed on
my forehead,
And left there.
Watch me shake like I'm scared,
But I promise
I'm not....

Mastered,
understood,
and read,
he could,
compress,
and spread,
at will,
any bill,
in known,
areas,
impressing,
listeners' arias,
with his hands,
on the mantle,
he could assemble,
and dismantle,
with equal ease,
often without,
charging any fees....

Where the heart and soul compress
Is a secret garden of helpless bliss
Foreshadowed by any distorted pain
Unrelinquished freedom yet never vain
And I shall await your baited breath 
Today tomorrow until my death
For you are I and I am you 
An interwoven love no one a clue...

There’s this invisible shape that get formatted between my hands
A mold of a thing a statue of a being
Writhing my hands I compress to feel its pressure I press to feel resistance 
With the slightest push back 
I feel the attack 
I stand no ground 
I’m only out to live a merry-go-round...

our words one can compress
but our focus as wordsmiths
is to let creativity take charge
each and every conversation
becomes a writer’s permit to
master their authorship
choreographed words bestir
and challenge mind-numbing
beware of what you share
pursuits of passion my pen
not to be silently suppressed...

Yo, I'm not kidding!
This style of poetry
called Diminished
Hexaverse is the
new cool Free Verse, yall!

I really like how it 
challenges me to
compress my words
into smaller lines.

best part is, you can 
bend the rules a bit
and make the lines longer (i think?)

wanna guess what
the last word is??

SLACK TIDE

moon draws
back slack
high lows
collide

new address
to compress
I digress…

seas glide
as shores
abide
waves hide
then
subside

unpack
draw back
stress-smack
hide-crack

I assess
undress
and
digest

cast aside
this
great divide
worldwide
deep
inside

Femur sighs, given a break and transformed by love.
— by poet (inspired by Ira Byock)

What’s worse than an illness, an accident?
Imagine with me
helpless in the abyss…
Open to the curse of curs.

No warm or cold compress
No caress
No handkerchief

No matter how hard you have it,
if surrounded by compassion,
you’re not as broken....

She collected her names, family’s names,
friends’ names, strangers’ names,
and everything which had a name.
Her mind was like a basket,
able to compress all the names to threads;
the threads were too many that they doodled
creating knots.
“I can see you are tied up!”
her husband tells her as she tries to untie his tie.

new sights fall again…
                                           upon the previous sights
                                               compress into love 

                                              lovers passion forms
                                        slowly in both soul poles deep
                                         wish with warmth of hearts...

It's time 
and its high time 
That we together 
Rupture 
The cover to behold 
This hidden love 
To saturate 
The stubbornness 
Off our heart
Follow not our desire 
And let feelings be I charge 

It's high time 
That we become 
The slaves of our insight 
So to believe 
We can be one
Not even us
 
As we compress love 
through the power of love 
It's time...

Emma.

You may be handsome, you may be rich,
You may be clever, all factors which
May mean you have a happy home
And are blessed with the best that the world can bestow.

Your twenty-odd years may have passed with such ease:
No distress to compress, ever vex or displease.
Your match-making skills have succeeded again
And I'm left, at the end, in non-fictional pain....

as i inhale the cloud white smoke,
and listen for the beats and the groves in the song,
a stealthy trail of tears roll down my face, 
as now im faced with a sudden notice of reality, 
i am now open-minded and now care free,
i begin exhaling the now sour burning smoke,
and feel the cold air compress against my back, 
thats when i hear the song begin to fade away

Stars so far, so close, so near
Stars so many, so few, so one
Just think, all the lives that are fed by the sun

The center of a star, a prelude to you
Compress, disperse, explode, burn through

The matter from stars makes up the smallest and largest forms in the universe

After knowing this, how can we deny that everything is connected? Not just on a molecular level, but on a spiritual one as well....

Waking up kidneys hurt,
Trying to compress them with muscle,
Fluctuate blood but I'm not sure,
The blood rushes to my head,
I didn't drink last night,
Am I dead?
A rainbow of colors fill my eyes I hear wavelengths,
Am I about to die,
I remember I had too much sugar,
Woke up gasping for air,
Water out my nose,
Booger.
It was death that had me scared,
But I died so many times I can't really care....

Sentry is the sunset, as I de and compress
Optimism is a way to scrub the hopelessness
Perhaps I'll escape perdition with a healthy dose of beauty paste
Will insecurities vanities blind me pitifully to the incoming waste
No, this corner would not be built into the path if it weren't meant to be walked down and turned
Growth is not just something plant-based it's a lesson in us all that need be walked and learned...
