dusk
is pressing
as the mist
rolls in
with the growl
of thunder
and the eyes
of Jupiter

Pressing the Word

I press the word
to find what juice
is inside

No idea can hide
as I press down
firmly

Sucking the sentence
for its worth.

Presence

my heart hums
love I won’t confess—
close, she glides,
a lone shade,
pressing palms against my skull—
where ancient pain cracks.

Soul is weary
Heavy heart's dreary
Breastbone crushing resuscitation 
Pressing rhythms flatline
A moldering past
Alas—a day to die for

Wine In King's Glass

On the metamorphic I sprouted
Sun and snow I braved;
With sickle I was weaned
Pain of pressing who can stand?
Let no one envy me:
Wine in King's glass.

Premium Member Manipulation

Manipulation
Pressing the buttons that count
       Refined seduction


          Manipulation
Of puppets on strings controlled
      By hidden agendas

Underwater Attraction Or Don'T Build Those Condos Just Yet.

Ponce DeLeon
kept pressing on
for the waters that made time stand still.
But he found no flow
and for all we know,
that fountain flows under a landfill.

Monkeys - start on your typewriters now.
I need you to work fast - and how. 
There is nothing more pressing than a
contest deadline - no time for a banana.

Premium Member The Sun

Pressing flesh
Emerging flesh
One born of two
The sun surrounded
By its moons
Visceral  ties
Bound to one another
Through eternity
Broken by no man’s laws

The Room

So she stood, arm against the corner, echoed voices. She waited. Kneeling now, pressing her hands to the floor, reaching through the cracks in violet shadows formed.

Late at night i sit
on the edge of my bed
my ears stopped up with medical rubber
pressing the diaphragm of the stethescope against
my chest. Listening
for a sign.

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

Where

Crawling slowly into the notion,
Undeterred by obstacles before me,
Pressing onward with determined uncertainty,
Seeking guidance where none appears,
Pressing on shedding fears.

Pianist who is blind
Performs at train station
Pressing keys to play a
Perfect piece from Chopin 
People were moved to tears
Piano prodigy
Played Bach for the new king!

A Poem Is Brewing...

Stolid, terse
Ferrous verse

Raw, crude
Pressing lewd

Fiery, rage
Warring sage

Wild, free
As the open sea

Clever, deft
Mindful theft

Longing, attentive
Yet pensive

Peaceful Planet

Ideas we once knew
    and supported
  have turned to dust and ashes
     Our only hope is to 
keep pressing forward
      with our creative powers
defy mortality 
    with a pen in hand
art

Piano and Pa

They were one
One continuous thing
Hands outstretched
Like spider webs
Moving joyously
Quick and nimble
Pressing black and white
Tickling my eardrums
Tapping my feet
Feet on pedals
Echoing

An Immortal Dream

My perspective of immortality,
nothing to hide... just a wish,
a secret revealed...
An unconnected dream,
a pressing hallucination...
have a woman back
that was everything for me... !

Pressing On

On shaky ground I find I walk
I hobble and wobble but still I walk
There are shadows that lurk in the dark
I can feel their eyes and see their mark,
But still I walk, I know what I seek.

Senseless Words

my fingers
roaming
like my mind
tenderly
stroking
thoughts
through keys
but making
no sense
beneath
the trembling

perhaps
they'd
rather be
pressing
against
the edges
of you
