Define "love".

My heart beats faster
My lips tingle excitedly
My eyes glimmer
My hold tightens
My kiss deepens
His expression grows warmer

Premium Member Dosage of Music

Took a dosage of music. Now shedding tears as my chest gently tightens. Not enough to end me. But just right amount to make me feel so numb.

Premium Member November Flows Into Her Redness

scarlet cardinal laboriously tightens nest
leaf colors dazzle
November smiles at diverse colors
Flows into her redness as naturally
As December sprinkles white

Premium Member The Fix Is In

Stick a band-aid on it, patch it up
  Say I'm sorry, it'll go away...

Next time it happens, you'll know what to do
  The very same thing -- what tightens the screw


She Tightens the Grips

The British Petroleum
Oil slick
She tightens
The grip
Like a boa constrictor
Surrounding the flesh of
The Mexican Gulf and
From head-to-toe
She swallows
It all

our fontanel pulsates
we pause to listen
to whispers of God
sensed as bliss strobes

love’s embrace tightens
our soul yields
breathing in the elixir
of heavenly delight

Premium Member Black

Enveloped in black
Darkness of a living death
The black shroud tightens
Heightened frenzy of thrashing
Pinned in the arms of Black Knight

Taken

Tender toes,
Treading tentativly,
Taking time, 
Trying tactfully. 
Tendons tremble,
Tension tightens,
Tilting, Twisting, 
Tripping, tumbling!
Terror. Trouble.
Touching totality.
Tomorrow. taken.

Chimeran Crossing

Bridging the gap…
hate falling away

Into the chasm,
fate tightens the stays

Forging two armies,
to now fight as one

Entreating their union
—Saint Michael has come

Premium Member I Cannot Hold the World Up

My   senses  are  more intense than usual 

My throat tightens

My jaws ache

My eyes well up for tears

Why?  Why do I feel like crying?

Can’t anyone see I cannot hold the world up for everyone?

A Note To the The Ones He Left

Have tightens the necklace around his neck to kill the pain.
Empty bottles, and smoke fills the room.
The one he loved left, with his heart.
Now he breathes a sigh of relief.
As the pain he's felt falls to the ground.

I Realize

When i watch you sleep
i can tell you're not hurting.
i see how peaceful you look.
I realize then, how much i love you,
my heart drops,
my stomach tightens,
and my body collapses.
That feeling,
is what i live for.

Premium Member Drowning

Icy darkness tightens its embrace. Flailing, thrashing, clawing, waning; implacable liquid death threatens to overwhelm. Grasped by unseen hands; propelled upwards. Surface breached! Sweet, sweet air!

Dread

a shiver down my spine
alerts me of a sign
something isn't right
will i die tonight
every day my stomach tightens
and everything around me frightens
don't tell me it isn't how i feel
I'm telling you now this is for real

Dog Park

Barks of frustration and irritation
Man, their counterpart, shall not be moved 
At an impass, tension slowly tightens
The stalemated similarity between different species 
Listening is not a choice in this debate 
Just another adventure at the dog park

Premium Member Thought of the day

the noose of fate tightens
even as time slows
and space lengthens 

such interpretations of mind
fickle, unsound, temperamental 
are politely declined

be it instinct, be it reason
if we choose to indulge in thought
it is against soul’s light treason

Premium Member Emotional Bloodshed

Always there, something that I dread;
Tired of emotional bloodshed;
Tightens and unravels the thread
inside my head, inside my head;

Keeping a serene habitat,
grabbing a close friend for a chat 
quick to lower your thermostat;
Imagine that, imagine that.

Haeley

Her beauty surpasses the most majestic of scenes
Her laughter resounds like a rolling sea
My throat tightens at the thought of losing her
Her smile brightens the most tepid of days
With her I’ve learned “I Love You” in a million ways
She is my daughter, the love of my life.

Premium Member Signs of the Times

The sky is clear
  the air bracing
Yet streets are empty
  social distance spacing

Fear grips our hearts
  keeps loved ones apart
A deluge of dark news
  tightens the screws  

But wait: What is this
  I heard some good news
Dare I repeat it ~
  If they let me, I would

Vaping

A vaper does not really care
If anyone can breathe fresh air
With flavoured dung
Dusting a lung
They're happy just to have a spare!

Vaping delights their lungs and blood
Like blowing smoke as thick as mud
Repeated use
Tightens the noose
Until their heart can't beat the crud.

machinations of life
exert a stranglehold 
as the noose tightens
we choose to vaporise
whence fate as may be
is rendered innocuous
thus in, within but not of
earth life play underway 
with our ego immanent 
presence transcendent 
           ~
we have the cake
and eat it too

Vitals

Doctor blinks, breath caught, face goes still.
“Oh,” he says, voice sharp, split.
Hands tremble near charts, numbers all wrong.
Room spins quiet, cold like a grave.
Chest tightens, heartbeat thuds, loud, slow.
How long have I lived this broken?
Sick laughs die. Fear lives in bone.
