Best Overlaying Poems

chieftains trade their loyalty behind the clouds
  high mountain king Carrantouhil commanding his Macgillycuddy Reeks
  men of begotten rank, scheming skulduggery
  secrets hide out of sight, Comeragh mystery shrouds Coumshingaun
  flighty earls flee from the Lough Swilly shore
  priests conspire,...

YOUR TOUCH

is a gift swelled inside my nape-
wrapped up in words of
love that suffice my desire
for you ignite my body’s fire

i tie myself snug with ruby red ribbons,
gentle whispers enveloped inside-
make sure the silver bow is in its
place so you may open with blown
kisses and...

A practical man with a talent for wood
viewed each morning as an omen for good
He tilled the land wisely 
and preached the goodness of God
but as each day passed there was much to portend
his land had grown evil and God was displeased
one day God called...

Mystical allure
The mist surrounds as a veil

bohemian rhapsody parades
     amidst greensward moored
erupting profusely toward cerulean skies
     ushered with invisible rip cord
this Earthling self assigned to an (elder)
     box office catbird seat - hoard

My preeminent life test
Cometh not by voice to air,
Nor composition be;

But my lifetime overlaying
The image of Jesus Christ;
The transporter of my sin
To Calvary's tree;...

February 28th, 1968 marked the date
Boyce Brandon Harris 
(my octogenarian widower father) 
purchased a small tract of land
Pooh would Winnie
  
constituting shadowed sliver 
once hailing, hallmarking, harkening, 
glorious vast "Glen Elm" estate,
which circa 1910 encompassed
 
a hundred plus acres of woodland
(including a pond frequented...

Inspired by Nocturne in e minor (opus 72, no 1) by Chopin

The sorrow of a harmony 
Never heard by it's intended 
The tears I shed cascade 
In torrents
I can't bring myself to look
Into the starless expanse
The blanket of night weighing heavy
I could lay there
With an...

The impetuosity of inanities
Life spills, deals and fills
In tones and zones of vanities
Raised to a crescendo on hills and bills

On the beleaguered bottom
Society sinks into new perspectives
Derived from the atom
Devoid of subjective directives

Issued at the behest of power corridors
In lumps and stumps of mispronounced announcements
Trembling...

The gratitude of this lifetime 
what isn’t there to appreciate?

my gazes reach for the sky
and bring a bit of heaven to earth
sprinkling the dark with love kindness
and overlaying the gray  with radiant joy.

I  tread amiably and dearly
leaving marked foot- trails of hope
and realized...

The water's getting wild, rough around the edges. 
And yet so peaceful underneath, the overlaying surface. 
With the rugged colored water, and the storm starts a brewing; 
the wildest fish are only caught, when the darest of them all, 
start the search, before nightfall.

It all goes without saying
At times it's mentally draining
Physically straining

In my head and heart constantly raining
Still in training
In order to reach great things
Can't get it done by waiting
Give it all your best attempt before chance is fading

From bad choices, still paying
Couldn't fix it by praying
Or...
