In autumn air most lovely
Her mouth wide open...

I dropped my ice cream cone 
On a birdy's nest
I am destroyed
My ice cream's compressed...

My mind's kryptonite
Compressed in a single name
Synonym for love
All that my heart has to give
All the dreams I wish to live...

Free style trucks and real fast wheels
Landed flat on my back

With lonesome fingers I now trace
the lost impression of your face
that once compressed my pillowcase
washed away but not erased
now by polka dots of tears replaced

Compressed separation, reality unveiled
Suffocated freedom, identity confronted
Coalesced spaces, vision uncharmed
Memory inscription, chapter closed
Closeness obscure

Cut land in the water is called island
Beaten copper is wire
Love bitten man, lover
Compressed, cut n’ beaten man is husband

vocals

The one who stays,
        becomes
        compressed...
        who leaves,
         is broken...
        I've suffered in the
        two ways and
       I didn't learn any

Love me for who I am,
not the way I dress.
Or my looks so-
compressed into this body.
I can't escape.
I need a living form,
so I can-
contemplate this thing to my head.
I'm not a fake.
I just am who I am....

The distance between what you feel
  and what you write…
    —your measure as a Poet

The difference between what you think
  and how you act…
    —your measure as a Man

Within My Trembling Hands 
I Held A World
Scared 
To Share Its Space 
Such a One and Only Time
Its Wings Compressed
In Shallow Breath
Heartbeat Fearing Death
I Placed Softly It In A Nest 
And Left.
 
I Never Said Goodbye...

Daring walk of someone so savvy
Emails of applicant’s CVs
Life compressed into a short movie
Under attack, needing the Navy
Girls, in public display so curvy
Entry to a show without levy...

Rosebud so compressed

impatiently, your fullness

labors to unfold . . .

How short the ripened glory

before your tired petals fall.

Life is like an hour glass.

Never standing still.

Never the precious times, that all seem so unreal.

But times in the darker days, emotions you

can not feel.

Are all compressed in this pretty, little mess.

The hour glass of steal....

'A Suited Soul'



Left behind
A tortured mind
Life confined
A Love declined
Left to rest
Days dusty dressed
Love gone wrong a soul compressed.

Magnetic blanket weight
Heavy pressing down crushing air
Compressed can't breath can't do

Changed blanket lighter one helped
Closed eyes, plugged ears, go

Lover’s Lunacy

Ah, togetherness
compressed hearts beating as one
salt water kisses linger.
How can I miss you
wave to you love’s bon voyage
if you will not go away.

I'm honored, if love is expressed.
From your eyes depth of spirit found.
The unmeasured distance between our eyes compressed.
Simple feeling, to understand, profound.

Limerick : Once a dashing Damsel with tough biceps

Once a dashing Damsel with tough biceps
Tried to bulge her pectorals with triceps
Compressed air back-fired
To where moon was mired
Since then carries pec-pumps in contracepts.
