squeezed like a lemon
And being told of my financial state,
I grit my teeth poor as a rotting board,
I feel like a lemon squeezed, I dont feel great ,
Please dont sink my ship while I am aboard.;
And news like this,my guts squirt out lemon juice,
I am being squeezed dry -feel I want to die ,
Financially speaking I need a

Squeezed Flights of Fancy
A kingdom that’s ruled by flights of fancy,
suddenly whimsical has been turned sour;
Peasants facing collective tragedy
being brought to life is leaving them dour;
Afraid to truly close their eyes and see
they all fight the same nightmarish power;
Squeezing into all that they have outgrown
will bravely boost up that childhood backbone.

Squeezed Lemons
lemons crushed over iced glass
hot march sun, cape gooseberries
drenched umbrellas into the fog of sunrise
rain and march breezes bring in May bloom

Hugs Are Squeezed To Contain Bursting Joy
SOME thoughts are daggers
as others are kisses
while hugs are squeezed
to contain BURSTING
joy; ...my privately confessed
delusions -->. God pleasure return
my m i n d \. THESE pesterous
Cherubs sending L oVE
air mailed / i delightfully collect
their stamps for the golden saliva
by cherubic artist can visit me
post return of my comatic brain.

Out of Supporters Trump Squeezed
Out of Supporters Trump Squeezed
Trump always does get mad when teased,
And then only himself has he ever pleased;
Does persist;
Is an egotist;
Everything out of his supporters squeezed.

I Squeezed Hands Under Veil of the Darkness By Anna Akhmatova
I squeezed hands under veil of the darkness...
"You are pale today, tell me, why?"
Because I gave him drink with tart sadness
to be drunk to regret and to cry.
Can't forget, he walked out and he staggered
And the torture distorted his mouth,
I ran down stair to him and I pattered
passing by rail to gates with my oath.

Squeezed
who squeezed out/ you’re spirit?
Remember running?
Remember laughing? Really laughing? As your restless eyes lept into the silence.
NOW
suck down that second hand laugh. See how easy it is.
Dread shadows me. It seeps out of my mouth and clings to my eyes.
They see. They laugh.
Ha
Please shoot the messenger. He uses

Sun Squeezed Yellow
Paint me a day
with lemon squeezed yellow
Lime green meadows
beneath bluebell skies mellow
Brush in the shoots
of daffodils sunny blooms
delegating room
for a robins red belly plumes
Stroke in this scene
daisies white with sunny smiles
altering this trial
of winter’s cold, but for awhile

Sponge Is Squeezed
Sponge Is being squeezed
Blood is pouring out
Tears are pouring out
And
Love is pouring out
Creating love river
Undeniable
Maker of oneness
Weaving through nooks and crannies
Of souls of people
And nations.

Absorbtion Squeezed In
Slip away for a moment
Into yourself
Listen to life’s sounds fade into fog
Kin to a hawk sighting possible prey
Awareness sliding into focus
Gaining momentum as you sink
Aspirations of creation
Inspiration raising neck hairs
Such is the way of selfish
Transferring feelings to thought
Making believe for the joy
Younger and older at once
Can this be held for the nonce
Held in contentment

Squeezed To a Deadly Degree
Squeezed to a deadly degree
Trying to wriggle out
Of a constricting grip
Knees weak, as blood
Rushes to my aching limbs
I feel nothing
And nothing is all I want to feel
