Best Go Overboard Poems

From where I am I now begin
So over my head, so over my self
How can the future be my home
When I’m not here now?
I need to make a detour and return to my home.
The reality I have now,
My heart pounding, am still breathing.
But if I...

Looks like we could have a green Christmas this year
Which is great as long as it snows on that day, d'ya hear
Just that special day
Then melt all away
Let's not go overboard, can't wait for spring to appear

There is no greater feeling than to be alive and free

Spending our lives on God's green earth

Reveling in the warmth of yet another sun filled day

The rainy days are sent to us only to remind us

How much we appreciate dear old Mr. Sol

It's what keeps...

NOTE: I know I don't typically go artsy-fartsy with my haiku (wax eloquent as Eileen Ghali would call it). But in this case the sky was being too beautiful to NOT go overboard with the descriptions......

So many roles have changed over the years,
Went from being a child to a man dressed up in tears,
I wasn’t scared of nothing but now living in fear,
Visited bars rolling high in jacked cars,
Single now looking up at stars,
Went from throwing rocks at windows to...

Drowning-
Sitting there nice and still slowly sinking
you smile as the strangers smile back confused and unaware
you were just drowning in your tears
one by one the words rip through your skin tearing you apart
limb by limb you try to stay up but the weights keep you...

I need to relax for a change
One last time, I'm giving it all of my might to fight the good fight
It's eccentric how time flies; I guess it's about time to rearrange...
I don't have a clue if I can build up confidence tonight...
I need energy...

"That girl's eyes loved gazing into water,
in her doubly delightful vision,
but he was still learning the liquid language,
and there's danger and there's damage,
there's envy and derision,
when you love the ocean's daughter.

My knees don't like me very much
Right now I don't like them.
They use to be much friendlier
When I stayed fit and trim.

You don't give up on friends because
They've maybe gained some weight
But mercy me , if I was a three
They'd take me on a date.

I...

Anchor your faith on God's Word,
For many fail to interpret,
Many still will go overboard
Adding to what God had set.

His Word has Power and is complete
And He sent His Spirit to teach,
All our seeking will not forfeit
Our hearts' yearning, our God to reach.

In all things He...

love’s mattress rumbling with laughs
this couple’s bellies hurting

Lord, I want to write a poem about my thoughts
Random thoughts
Isn’t that funny?
I think about how people still don’t know 
That they don’t have to ask you for things
You already know
I think about how my mood can change with just a word from You
I think...
