Ears ringing from the compressing sound
Feathers still floating to the ground

contemplating
old age...
compressing
the passage of time
in a streak of light

the arc shortens
coolness draws warmth from the earth
compressing darkness

theres no escape

from this place i learned 2 hate

this black hole in need of a nite lite

2 scatter the shadows compressing my consciousness

into little hard balls of lost moments

time stolen

molten madness peering through my brain

seeking entrance

into

making me feel 

out of...

Can time survive in purer form
  devoid of reference 
  future—past

Can the present become
  a bible 
  for every sage

Like a black hole
  compressing within itself
  imploding front to back

Its enigma leads 
  to an eternity dark 
    —lost candle to the flame

Students at Work


See them work!
Studious looks,
Buried in books,
Leaflets flipping,
Binders snapping,
Pencils tapping,
Textbooks slamming,
Nick-knacks toppling,
Back-packs rummaging,
Noses rubbing,
Nail nibbling,
knees flapping,
Foreheads scrunching,
Eyebrows rising,
Lips compressing,
Faces scowling,
Chins supported,
Tongues catapulting,
Coughs echoes,
Work Accomplished!...

Everything pressing on my mind 
So, I question, why?
Blessings are small when addressing
Where I am currently at right now. 
Life is compressing my being 
With every-day turmoil progressing.
I am a window dressing of peace,
But a different narrative inside. 
Blessings my Lord, gaze down on me 
And open a flood gate of discipline,
Help me transcend above it.

jive jubilation
free falling frustration
illegal illustration
victorious vivid verbalization
heavy speech
crushing
compressing civilizations

simple work
heart ache head hurt
sucker for butt hole jerks
being big breasted has it's perks
everyone has their quirks
baby got booty to twerk
throw me a smile
I'll catch it with a smirk
I'll always be a rebellious child of mother earth...

Impression is for now.
Trust is for the future.

Impression,
contentment,
ego-compressing precession,
is for  breathing out ego-now and eco-here listening;
Trust,
compassionate co-arising recession,
is for breathing in the future.

Extrapolations
of a Yogi Positive Energy tea-bag
as read,
and preferably incarnated, 
by Jonathon Wilcox,
breathing in impressions
breathing out democracy-building trust....

If one goes on compressing everything
In one’s own self,
How one is going to prosper?
This selfishness could be self-killing.

Make the others laugh,
Laugh and be happy.
Extend your happiness
Make everyone happy.

Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal,
One of the seven wonders,
To Make Mumtaz, his wife
And mankind happy to look at.

There is the turning point
He said like I should know
Twisting conviction tight
While frozern to the bone

This is that hopefull sign
He said like it was fact
Compressing doubt inside
Until my spine Began to snap

This way is saving grace
His tone full of pride
Almost deflated still
My rib cage open wide

This is where you say goodbye
His tone was empathetic 
My back turned painfully 
I pulled out my haert and left it....

A shattered piece of heart was left
Five thousand miles away.

Skin into skin dissolving,
Lip into lip compressing,
Breath into breath embracing,
Word into word caressing,
Thought into thought regressing,
Pain from another pain depressing
The lonely being craving nearness
From the other.

What is a cake without the sweetness?
What is a sheet without the words?
What is eternity compared to
The second of pure love?

Nothing....

Ecstasy shivering in musical keys
Squeezing, compressing melodies
Relaxing., exhaling an ode to the joy
Echoes of delight, pistils and pollen
Breeze succumbs to whispers benevolent

I open my petals...the clouds are angry

Emptiness  fades the dreams of gardens
The Sun? ...just  a Mirage... a prism in the desert
Sculpting naked hopes in indigo of sadness
A requiem or a Never ending story ?
Uprooted  Soul exhales The Miracle of Hanging Gardens...

Dancing with delusions, sparks of hellfire
Course through my lugubrious quill pen.
Distorted words igniting fear,
Anxiety fills crevices,
Encircling, silencing,
Asphyxiating.
Walls closing in,
Compressing.
Hope fades,
Doom.
Dread
Runs cold.
Veins poisoned,
Sanity slips
Unmercifully.
The angels are mimicked.
Light dimming, darkness descends
As demons mingle with the dead.
Apocalyptic skies crack open
To wash away all that you held sacred....
