Jab We Met

His soft touch and 
I shrank a little.

Kite like heart,
Reached heights.

The Ship

THE SHIP

I was stood on the deck of a ship
When I swallowed a big orange pip
My beating heart sank
And my poor stomach shrank
So I just let a massive one rip

While I Strived At Wilmington Treatment Center

I strolled with God, and
God with me, as
I shrank from booze to clarity, through
Narrow doors, and sculpted lawn, that
Buffered me with accountability -
The hands of God my confidence
No one can stand
Like wall against.

He Found a Cubic Zirconia In the Rough

He Found A Cubic Zirconia In The Rough


he sat at the bar looking over at her tee
in bold letters it read catch and release me
after a few drinks he was game
closing on the brink of her flame
his shrank as she imparted a handling fee

Close Enough To Hear Men's Screams

the fifty cal pierced the tank
flash and bang, it quickly shrank

shrill high screams,so briefly heard,
then comes the death's, savage bird

thus pecked clean; blue eyes and spleen,
not more terrible, death, seen,

and so the night's moon I'd thank
died, I  not, in fiery tank

The Library

The world shrank
Into clusters of words
Into remote silence
Into piles of bulky pages
All stood neatly and politely on selves
Waiting and serving their admirers 
Suddenly the internet broke in one day
And conquered them 
But they remained silence 
Still hoping for their old friends 
To drop in one day

My Dear Son

My Dear Son...
--------------------------
Will you remember this,
Your first day at school
In the principal's office?

You shrank into my arms in fear;
Your rosy cheeks fiery hot, and dark red as ripened plum.

When I am retired and old, 
And you are in your thirties-- too busy with your flourishing business!

Creeping

The shadows were creeping like golden summer,
Upon arising covertly, from crimson dawn mists,
And they shrank at noon to a realm just under,
Then idly resumed, their daring sunshine risks,
'Til plum twilight, and a kingdom they'd missed!

The Hurt

She peered out from the safety of her closet
Hardly daring to breathe lest he hear her
His footsteps echoed loudly in the hallway
The worn wooden planks feeling his anger
He entered the room barking her name sharply
Beads of sweat formed on her head while she hid
The door screeched open, he glowered down at her
His body filled the doorway with darkness
She shrank back into the shadows of her mind

Love Thaws in Winter Embrace

Listen to poem:
Written: February 03, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This clock let forth one painful scream Bliss time shrank, as a speck of dream Just one drop of rain ruined peace Must hide from massive flash near trees Charm of winter was freezing love Smarm melted as spring leaped above If that was love or sigh, it's slow Stiff time—season fleeting the glow

Molten Anger

And, it tore through dumb claim;
the fakes had commingled with
the truth. Nowhere my soul
found peace.

One by one shadows were losing
their skeletons. The tarnished face
was forced to recant its nose
and shrank into hole.

Blood grievously turned grey
and skin tanned blue in fierce withdrawl.

He tracked naked in squall
of abuse leaving the eyes for blind rubbers
and bald wolves.Legs tweet, the child
is coming back home.

Sociability

Wearing masks in check-out today
  Computer glitch meant delay
Thought I'd strike up a conversation
  Chase the boredom away

My first target looked at me strange
  OK, his right, didn't think much of it
'Til the second fellow eyed me the same
  Hmm, I thought. Gotta rise above it

The third fellow visibly shrank back
  I felt that sociability was under attack
Don't think I'll frequent that store again
  I'll take off my mask and make me a friend

Rose Thorn

Memories of your dress fiddling
your legs in the summer
night breeze
made my heart to leap with ecstacy
that can light a bulb.

The sweet fruit cakes that you have made
for our anniversaries
have been finger-licking good.

.......but.......someone.......a man......
holding holding your hips
and gazing at your face,
is the LAST thing I expected to see;
the album of you and I shrank
at lightning speed at that instant!

The sight left me and you
in love as a myth.........

Past My Bedtime

The concert, a singer who’s great,
Is all set for a not-too-far date.
I am sure that the show
Will be wonderful, though
It won’t start until sometime past 8.

Since I often wake up around 5,
By the time Jackson Browne did arrive,
It would be no surprise
If the lids of my eyes
Would be closed with no chance to revive.

So most likely, I’ll pass on the tix,
Though it’s something I’m sorry to nix
But my energy tank
Isn’t shrinking – it shrank!
Sadly, aging and night life don’t mix.
