For the want of a tighter screw!"

Holding on to a dream
Holding on ever tighter

Calories are the little buggers that get into your wardrobe at night
and sew your clothes tighter. My closet's infested with these parasites.

Premium Member My Boa Constrictor Enjoying a Sauna in my Mouth

My girl grew up in a tank
I didn’t

Victoria, you are more constant
than the reliability of air

You hold me tighter
than true love at its best

Shackles

The hands of time
With those fingers worn
they unravel knotts of life.
                 Then!
Tie tighter hardship strife 
bind its shackles that hold.

Come and hold me closer, tighter in your arms as you thrust deeply.
Oh come on baby, make love to me so passionately.

The tighter I curl, the more open I feel,
The looser your grip, the tighter the seal.
The harder I cry, the sadder I seem,
The better I lie, the more truth is seen.

Did Take Another Slip

Did Take Another Slip

When ship over started to flip,
On floor did take another slip;
Wobbled a bit,
And had to sit;
Then on God did get tighter grip.

The Shyly Anxious

Clings to this one daily need
Feel they cant survive without 
The Solitary's.
Tighter, out which harm so led
Further still, by their own hand
Lightning's starey is.

May Our Father embrace you?
Even tighter as you walk alone the way
On this trouble old world
Let us pray His will

tighter her shapes in capture
silken ropes more taught
excitement arises I

Through Baptism

Is my life quite kooky?
Does seem rather spooky!

Tighter than a high-strung cat
What about nerves? Get rid of that!

Yet somehow I made it through
Become baptized you can too!

I look far ahead and wonder wheres my next instruction
Shivering softly in the breezy openness
I clasp my shawl around me tighter

Escape From Tape Rape

Escape from Tape Rape

With much energy was quite an escape,
From what can be called the Tape Rape;
Nails now tighter;
Knuckles whiter;
Trump with the law had another scrape.

Dark Whispers

Language
is required
to go insane

The beasts of
the forest
politely refrain

Words
ever forming
into a net

Trapping
insanity
—the tighter they get

At the Rehab Center

Squeeze a little tighter 
the therapist said at the rehab  
a tear drop fell at the corner 
of her eye 
as she smiled

Love

We're in a cold, lonely paradise called love
Each fight hits harder
Each cold word crueler
But each kiss warmer
And each embrace tighter
Love can be bitter
But it can also be all that is good!

Premium Member Winding Up


   Spools for a day.
   Wound up with what they say.
   Tighter and tighter.
   The insanity won't go away.
   A year or two marinating.
   Chaos has won.
   Then the spring becomes undone.
Form: Rhyme

Ambition

Wrapped around the pillar of humanity

As it slithers up it coils tighter and tighter

It's length spreads a warmth that is all too inviting

A paralyzing euphoria


Left unsuspecting
the snap is surprising

Dia De Los Santos

On all Saints Day I’m impressed to see
Old Ford’s, cherry bombs and Chevy’s
In support of Dia De Los Santos
Together peacefully ever so tighter

My Tender Downfall

Your lips will be my Downfall,

I think I lose a bit of my soul  when you kiss me slow,

Hug me tighter as I draw my last breath,
Because your touch will be the end of me.


By Stretch C. Daniels

Fade

The heaviness of heart lifts.
I want it gone, but I hold it tighter still.
Crashing through me, knocking me down, picking me up. 
It needs to go, it has to.
Lost to love, feeling our hearts fade.
You are gone.

Little Boy's Come Home

He holds his little
boy's hand so tight,
that there is no fear 
of losing him again,
after so long

The boy, 
no longer little 
looks down and squeezes
back, tighter
and thinks

Fear no longer, Daddy 
I'm home
