Best Overlook Poems


From the Overlook
a Spanish sonnet

Passion thrives on forgiveness, oh my sweet.
Your scorn will reason well to wonder why 
I attempt a smile even though your eyes   
refuse to cherish blooms laid at your feet. 
We need to take stock of trust when we meet; ...

Don'T Overlook This
6/24/17


I've been thinking of a whole lot
None of the same old thoughts 
Never has it been about any jewelery or a gold watch
And the same could be said for having my soul lost


I'm not going to ramble on
Talk about babylon
Or what happened when there was...

God Will Overlook
God Will Overlook

For God, would you want to go to work
As maybe quite a genius or plain old clerk
Milking many cows or working in a field
Hoping to produce a very good yield.

How about being plumber or a typist
Be in a beauty pageant and hard to...

Could Love Overlook This Pain
I  consider you my chief, at one point of time
My commander at heart , leader of our military
The big gun in our castle, but mental confusion
Came upon my soul, heart and mind
Disturbance was in the air, causing a big fluster
Flurry thoughts came in my...

While, alone, I gaze upon this splendored sight
the true meaning of Nature's spectacle is somehow lost.
I will leave with emptiness inside my heart, for, these
wonders of beauty are best seen and appreciated when
shared by two souls.

So, should you chance to pass this way alone and
long...

Beauty We Overlook
Beautiful flowers abound…
Yellow, Red, purple, and brown.
There is an abundance of beauty on this Earth.
We overlook it at times, and wear a frown....

Overlook Offense
Words or actions may upset you and me
If we allow them to control us, how tragic that can be.
We can avoid saying words like: “You make
Me so mad: that’s fuel to the flame, and will make their
heart glad.

Don’t admit that their actions
Have power over you....

Overlook

You make me feel so low sometimes
And you wonder why I turn to others
You cling onto me jokingly
But in all seriousness, it bothers
I wish we can just be honestly close
Not just close, but able to click
Instead you act like a prick
It hurts to...

Let Love Lead Tribute To Tb Joshua
Three things in life last forever 
 Faith, hope and love
 The greatest is love
 God is love
 He that abides in love
 Abides in God
 And God in him

Success begins in our lives
When the problems and hurts of others
Matter to us
When the wound of...

The world welcome you
You're free to travel globally
But we always see only the best
And overlook the worst
We admire others
We forget our love
Travel is only for leisure
Knowledge and experience
And not for a living shelter
There are racism and foreigness everywhere
And so let's appreciate 
What we've already possessed
Our...

Premium Member A Day In Life
Start the day 
Fresh
With energy
With confidence
With hopes
With plans
With dreams 
Full to the brim
So that you don't have any time 
To grumble uselessly 
To evaluate things too strictly
To compare greedily 
Until you confuse yourself
About today, yesterday and tomorrow 
And overlook today 
Which should be the most...

Darling, paint the eyes
Every morning I paint a pair of eyes
to see the world for me—
Mines scream at
the sky fracturing into neon glass.

The dazzling eyes I painted—
I use them to fit in
the crowd dancing in chemical haze
—reasons left out at the gate.
I use them to study
the rites of...

The Box
I was grateful for the love of family and friends

But I was longing to hear your voice just once again

Then I came upon a box that I had not seen

There was a note that read ‘just a few keepsakes to you-from me’

 

I would recognize...

The Bees of Denial
The world drones on, beyond
this amber membrane
I recline within the waxen chambers—
a sovereign of nectar
enthroned in illusion

Muffled voices leak through honey walls
distorted—like speech submerged in syrup:
“Gone… her mind distills itself…
hallucinations… delusional constructs…”

I attempt to see—
but the hum begins, low
as a beast dreaming in its burrow.
My...
