Short Compromises Poems

time comes to say good-bye
long hugs and kisses
muffled by tears

a time of sorrow,
mixed emotions soaring
long overdue apologies,
truces ad compromises...

Bumpin' on Life's street's little surprises
leaves us too few---------------compromises
we filter our choices
through various voices my 
Lightness of being harmonizing....

Coalescent compromises confound
Complimentary conundrums creating
Criminal cranial collapses compiling
Complete catastrophic complications.
Caution-------Cafe Cacophony closed....

I watched 'Buns of Steel'
  'cos I wanted the real deal

    Did all the exercises
    Brooked no compromises

  But when I sneaked a little feel
  My hot cross buns began to peel...

splitting halves
battle unsolved
no compromises
no justifications
the price of beginnings
an endless sought
in the irresolution 
I am caught
flawless in the contraries
the tearing poles of 
my conscience
Assessment is evaluation,
Sometimes, repudiation.....

Knowledge never dies 
But knowledge never compromises 
Sometimes too abundant for destructions 
Sometimes too scarce for salvations 
Sometimes too much for a wicked man 
Sometimes too little for a saint 
Sometimes too hard for a student 
Sometimes too innocent for a child...

When I see you unkempt
I know you’re having a bad day
And;

I can’t help but laugh
When you say how disgusted you are
At things all around

We all make compromises 
In order to make it through

You have that nasty habit 
Of forgetfulness
Don’t you remember when you said,
	“Trust Me”

And;
I have that nasty habit 
Of forgiveness...

Does it matter?
To have you only just as a chatter.

Does I have to show?
How much I love.

Compromises, restrictions keep me killing. 
And you are asking, "How am I feeling?"

Does my happiness mattered?
Because when it come to this you just shattered.

Does it feel? 
When a person rebuilt after facing many deals....

Remastered memories
renovated compromises
Say thy brother's name

Touchstone compadres
Manifest of broken years
Be thy brother's keeper

Astral time prisms
empirical passengers
Keep thy brother's heart

Light years of reverence
99 flavors of forever
Hold thy brother in arms

Detour ahead----
Over the rainbow realm...

Lady with power

                            Some painful compromises

                                Trump want to avoid

                             Germany's nuclear power 

                              She, not a climate angel

With myrtle and listenability
I undertake the words of the prophets
Memories relapse in an unhealthy fashion
Man the forgetful
this rectangular mouth
compromises loftily
The Moons harsh splendour
boasts its specious context
as marigold and beam
sway across my October windowsill
like salt peter cleansing the pelt
truth is unburdened...

He wears that thick black belt
but that doesn't make him a man.

He does heavy duty work but
he never goes, is he a man?

He is tough and talks a lot of trash,
does that make him a man?

He provides,utilizes,and compromises,
with his child and keeps child from going
through denial,come to think of it,he's a
                  man now....

beginning of dawn brought me joy
to wet dormant grass and crow's caw
yellow mums still in bloom in awe
and the love of my boys

blessings and great expectations
sun caressing sweet promises
with choices and compromises 
to my motivation

Thank you everyone here on Poetry Soup for the birthday wishes, I've been blessed with your friendship. Hugs my friends

Listen to poem:

Bring in the din of children's cries
    the kin of family ties
    the chagrin of forgiven woe betides.
Let in the breeze of summer skies
    the wherein where laughter resides
    the grin of warm welcoming smiles.
Dial in the joys of compromises
    that the peacemaker devises
    to hide all conflicts with disguises.
Ring in the calls to claim the prizes.

'All In' for all is the call, 
which harmonizes....

It doesn't matter to me
the pleasure you had
out of me...
What your body felt
it was your feeling,
not mine...
What was past,
already passed...
If the soul was not corrupted,
this is what really
it matters...
the pleasure you felt
It was yours, your memory...
Our time has now begun...Now...
The commitment is from now on...
From here forward,
your commitment is with me.
my commitments to you...!
So we will have a chance
to be happy together..."...

War yields massacre
Peace defends with war 
Deaths are unavoidable
To start a war with 
Conflicts and quarrels
To ends a war with
Destructions and deaths
To start a peace defendance with
A war too
To end with
Destructions more than peace
No round table
Conferences and compromises
No logics
No truths
No limits
Everything can go 
Wild and limitless
Hegemony and democracy
Never compromise
War is the outcome
And deaths and destruction are 
Two amongst the spoils of war...

Parenting

The 21st century;
Changed the quality of our parenting

The busier we get;
the less time we have;
 to spend with our little ones.

We buy them off with gifts.
We cast a blind eye; 
Hoping their tantrums will soon stop.

We hope for a quiet moment to relax.
Giving in to their demands.
Hoping it will ease our guilt
Of not being better parents

As our children run amok;
With little values and lots of gifts.
Guilt compromises the quality of our parenting &
the quality of our children....

Nancy took a tumble
And went falling down the stairs.
The slickness of the marble
Must have caught her unawares.

Yet who at 84 years old
Wears shoes with 4-inch heels?
Though since a hip replacement,
There’s a photo that reveals

That Pelosi, back at work,
Left her stilettos in the dust.
She’s sporting clogs, a look to which
She might have to adjust.

We all make compromises
As we ratchet up the years,
Though despite her new flat shoes,
She still will tower o’er her peers.

I want an Andalusian woman.
Dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin.
One who looks beautiful in a summer dress
and has a Gypsy song in her heart.
All men dream of their ideal woman
and I'm sure most never actually find them.
Most of the time we find one who is the
complete opposite.
Compromises, always compromises. 
But I hear Lorca's guitar weeping
and the flamenco rhythms in the Mediterranean
air, coursing through my Mediterranean blood
along with every other silly notion I've had lately....
