Shoved into the light
Speeding through the tunnel bright….
Smashed with all its might...

I saw a bird
With a yellow bill
It landed on
My window sill
I coaxed it in
With a piece of cheese
And I shoved it in
The deep freeze...

Could it be heart brake
Which gags this young girls soul
Never casing pain
Shoved in her face everyday
That aids this wound  which must stay...

Poor Scarlett O'Hara had gas.
Her Ashley would not make a pass.
She went home to Tara,
did Scarlett O'Hara
and shoved a corn cob in her--uh--ear!...

Your actions spoke,
Louder than words,
Your actions shoved,
Me outdoors.
I don’t want,
 You anymore
Because your actions,
Spoke louder than words....

surely hate 
being in jailed seat
I'm battling
to be heard
not shoved back into silence
halved to denial

Most of my life I have pushed and shoved

Me first, You last, Your love put to the test

Interrupted by grace, the possibility expressed...

wasn't government
authorities were shoved
replaced by being loved
Vietnam Kent State
started all the hate
those days are long gone
my long hair days done...

Know Death Does Occur

What we know is death does occur,
When we lived life good and pure,
Each moment loved,
Then were shoved.
By Trump, who we had to endure.

Perhaps too fearful to love or be loved?  
Perhaps there's that special one to cry with?  
Perhaps like a Bobsled I need be shoved?  
Perhaps there's that special one to laugh with?...

Mom's deserve to know they're loved
Not ignored pushed or shoved
Let them see the love in you
They will notice each day through
Show them you can't live without
What their job is all about...

Pushed and shoved
Still I stand strong
Feeling so good
Never felt so wrong
Hopelessly holding my breath
Impatiently waiting for death
Soft whispers in my ear
I no longer stand frozen in fear...

There's a 
half-orange shoved in the 
greening distance that's burning the edges of cotton; 



or perhaps it’s 
a     fat      coin     that's 
rusting under the metallic weight of oxygen…...

lay me here
watch my bones
begin to dry
here are the stones
now cry me to die
still breeze these
blue lips
passion
from
me
sipped
love being shoved through shears
lay me here

Hot Shot Susie, had once shot a SNAKE,
Then shot a WOLF HOUND, oven did bake,
One catch she snatched, just won't go,
Tried have it shoved, still was no,
Sly RAT, git, you owe me your LIFE JAKE!

Packed away
I found you crying
Begging for comfort
Yet pushing me away
I noticed you
Floundering in a sea of madness
An outcry for love
And I gave in
Only to be shoved away
By your indelible infancy...

One moment, a hint of love
The next, abruptly shoved

Hands over heart: Pray
Unpromised is the day

Yet when sure is certain
by Noonday's light --
  
Shadows stalk dark alleyways
  ~ Pray, slip away...

We shoveled stuff under the couch.
Piles of it, until it was lumpy and the cushions rose in the air.
We shoved stuff under the refrigerator
But the mice shoved it back
This is when we fired the exterminator....

Politicians will not ever be amusing;
Mishandle things they were misusing;
Pushed and shoved.
And no one loved;
Have found it hard to be excusing.

Foils and perils
Horrifying and terrible
Well documented after the fact
Misunderstood totally at the time

Fouls and perils
Shoved to the back of your mind
To be brought out and made fun 
During family gatherings...

so can i steal one star out the sky
no, dont look into my eyes

dreams shoved to my left
and right side

i had watery eyes

save a place for me in your heart...

what does your vision depict
a soul or vessel, one to evict
one who should be showered and loved
or me, victim to being devoured and shoved
a masochist when you were hurting me
a pacifist but only hyperbole...

Down at the station where the trains are meant to run
A fellow shoved his tickets up the station master's bum
The station master called the docs and said he was in pain
The clinic said no doctors here... They all come in by train....

ran from hiding
still hidden

hidden hydes
my love spilt
like milk

she shoved running
we pushed together
we be came fallen
we stood still
perpetual

we
two hearts colliding
ran
from
hiding
