PRACTICAL    LOVE



He caresses her tress

She presses her dress

He guesses her stress

She addresses his lustiness

Premium Member Pressing Page

A poem presses page
	To pot I rant and rave
To Amsterdam sizzle
	Smoke hash in the drizzle
It’s no small task
	Just bitter-less tact
In driving my bees
	To insanity please

Morning Walk

In soft, pinkish robe—

on the shoreline rocks,

this fair bloom greets

the early morning ship

of dream, and presses 

my fingers on a dirty 

patched road of life.

Trust Now Broken

I once Confront this familiar look into ones vacant soul. I now see what seems darkened by echoing anguish. Here and now a betrayal presses denial into a love lost stare of disappointment

Premium Member Dadagital

He presses down the keys on the machine
putting four images on the page
Manipulating them in a cubist manner 
with his magic filter 
He puts a halo around each
Like Christ
Man Ray goes digital

Swabbing My Nose

Swab
inside 
my nose
presses, swirls. Twinges,
twitches, runs like it’s bleeding.
I wait in lobby, till rest home screener
smiles. “Negative! Good to go!”
Grandmother, I only
do this
for 
you!

shadows lengthen
chestnuts roast-
winter bides

catkins murmur
easter eggs-
spring tides

bluebells chime
wasps picnic-
summer stays

flower presses
fruit preserves-

Premium Member MEASUREMENT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a child presses a sticky coin into the cup of a man who smells of winter pavement. neither speaks. the transaction is not measured in copper but in the silence between them.

Premium Member WAR - An Existential View

War
asks why,
a shadow
without a name,
a tremor of doubt,
a question in the dust,
a silence that won’t explain,
a mirror with no clear answer,
a weight that presses thought to its edge,
leaving the soul to choose what meaning is.

Premium Member Astigmatism

Glasses for astigmatism
Helps one see even a prism

Without them black runs into white
But these glasses are not that nice

Presses on ears, rides on nose
Can't get colors to match clothes

To see or not to see
Now that is the question

Premium Member Compounded In Verse

haiku seasons
frozen in epigrams 
tripping from a pen

shadows lengthen
chestnuts roast-
winter bides

catkins murmur
easter eggs-
spring tides

bluebells chime
wasps picnic-
summer stays

flower presses
fruit preserves-
autumn frays

Premium Member Long-Forgotten Dreams

Sitting on my front steps
  delighting in the scene
Discerning in the ordinary
  long-forgotten dreams

A toddler hides in mommy's skirts
  A dolly-girl presses dandelions to her nose
A brave lad stays up on a unicycle
  Can I, my imagination regrow?

Time Not Taken

Knowing that time does not move, that I move through it - I take my time. There is nowhere to go today, nothing presses, the journey to take is inwards, and even this can wait while I watch the falling rain slowly wash my moments away.

Premium Member Earth

Eighty revolutions
Around the sun I will soon experience 
Residing on this old planet while 
Time presses steadily toward  
Heaven—for eternity.

All Alone

I float in a pool of darkness
Cold presses in and on me
I am alone
Floating aimlessly
I reach for sparks of hope
But rather than warm,
They only burn.

I ache with sorrow
I hunger to leave
To escape
To leave this prison
I crave to be free
To be heard
To be loved.

Maybe I Am Just Another Monkey

If you sit a monkey in front of a computer
There is a chance, no matter how far flung
That if it presses buttons at random
It will type a magnum opus
Well, I took a dictionary today
And guess what
The words were always there
I just picked and rearranged them

Squealing Brakes

Silent empty train,
Lush warm body presses mine
Slow down or derail

Eyelashes flutter
Blue eyes flash intense passion
Too late now, no brakes
