Best Overlaps Poems

there are times 
when my heart
remains silent
when its pulse is
steady and slow
there are times
when i am
right with the world
fitting in like a piece
to an irregular puzzle
there are times 
when the sounds
of the life that surrounds me
blend in infinite splendor
with the music that plays
within.

and then,

there are...

My fellow pilgrims on life’s path,
I greet you here today
To share a tale of gratitude
For help along our way.

Our best route is the straightest path,
And narrow from the gate.
But most of us went crashing through
As though we couldn’t wait
To see the things in store for...

The Rope

"You must be tired by now, 
go home and undo your hopes.."

the cracked pen and conscience, spill 
dark clouds into the background 
of the mind, pathetic fallacy...

The Rope: Pathos, 

covers the skin in ink 
until the illness overlaps the man,
until emotions overlap reason,
until he...

In this day of widespread obesity
THE TALE OF TOM

no!
but why?
he was kind
and so thoughtful
didn’t strut around
like so many I know
all the little ones loved him
i must say    though    he was so fat
he should have watched himself at mealtimes
just see...

A Powerful Tree I know
Outstanding in All its Growth
Great and Mighty Fortress
Overlaps and Grinds

Weighs Upon Greater Gazes
Surrender To No One
Shines Upon All My Troubles
Stands Firm on Sinking Grounds
Washes All the Past, and 
Present Worries

What a Hero! 
What a Friend!
This person I will Call
Is my One...

Life is entanglement plus time,
A Gordian knot of opportunities,
Each ravel a riddle to solve
or a battle to be won.

We grab and pull at the gnarls,
Greedy fingers seeking solutions alone.
Though the more we worry them,
the tighter the fibers cling together,
defeating our efforts with every turn.

The working...

Turning to face reality
a mirror tells no lie,
with no way to hide it
how can one even try

The image of myself 
not one of perfection, 
and still I can see you
in that gray reflection 

Every inch of yourself 
was not meant to be seen,
the wise woman...

Now that you have passed,
the days are mostly a crescent memory,
eclipsed by the night illuminating
what daylight darkens. 

And me...
sitting upon the edge of my bed,

I look down, 
down in consternation...
down to where the stars fall, 
down to where heaven overlaps emptiness,

slipping through the floorboards
like ribbons...

Your smile like razors
your kiss like knives
im drowning in your love
as i struggle to stay alive
i promised not to slice
and i still continue to do my part
but the cutts arnt on my arm
the cutts are on my heart
i didnt put them there
my hearts painted black...

Humid
canopy of
butterfly filled July
overlaps those sultry days of
idle bliss....

The ocean. The ocean is beautiful; a perfect harmony for anybody to desire. Glistening with sand, as the water calmly overlaps one another, causing waves. Soothing yet flowing, soft, as they gently touch the sand and bring up objects long lost in the sea. The...

Well today I find myself stretching again

Passed tests trials and wicked heart men

Playing games on courts

Who me no door

Shuts close with no reason

Freedom comes in season

Time gains its now

Hope despair somehow

Catches up with lost time

Almost lost the mind

Sandy winds in eyes

Differently to cry

Tears of joy...

A Cimmerian hue overlaps
The thoughts encroaching my psyche
They seem to harvest labyrinthine symmetries
Of which I covet
It matters not the appositeness
The unidentified may bear
For by passages of valor I transcend...

         Pending next droplet, drip mirror spherical 
         Rolls speedily down leaf spine, drops sluggish
         Earth splatter tsunami sends ants hysterical...

One Word #13
Word: Attic
Attic, Noun, A space or room just below the roof of a building

When you feel the need to do something,
Wanting, willing, to do almost anything.
Trying to erase the thick blank that is drawn,
Before you get tired of thinking and yawn.

The mind is...
