Best Overreaching Poems

Her thoughts were like a great machine
Driven by a force of unlimited potential
Reactive responses tempered to produce such diversity
Each image a symbol that armed her mind to Manipulation

The winds of puberty recently passed
Bringing with it a cruel mimicry and argued caution for
Sensations of the body...

Simplicity

Is a rope
And a note

Note

Sanity was a plea
Completely reversed you see
Behind the bars
Safe in the murky lurkings
Of Ambient sentiments and whiskey sour
The minds overreaching memories
Existed or not
Little matters
Of loves long sifted
Drifting closer to shore
The boat demands the rope
Be tied 
Just before, from my grasp I...

I'm a speech punk; kind of a menace
Not sure if the word is permissible in these parts
But that's the word I need, life's a furnace
So flush that. Gosh, you leave me no choice
I'm trying to speak, hear my voice in the whisper 
Through the walls...

Always in such a hurry
Pressing forward, moving on
Reaching for that which you think you are due
Every moment of the day spent in pursuit
Climbing that invisible ladder
Instead of taking time to look around
Overreaching, over expecting, demanding
Unrealistic measures of success
Simply noticing the beauty
God has placed along your...

just when she proudly posed as a puffing magic dragonette 

the bubble burst and a shiny sword punctured vulnerable skin

pierced the façade and made her reveal true person and posture

	I can’t hold this together without compromise

a circle to be squared with fumes of empty promise...

Ever have I fought,
Against God,
Against myself.
Ever did I struggle,
Always demanding,
Always overreaching.
Whatever I thought I wanted,
I was given,
I was granted.
Never the dream realized,
But, reality pure,
But, reality harsh.
Always given what was wanted,
But, obliged to pay for it,
But, obliged to struggle for it.
Now, I cease to fight,
Against God,
Against...

They hated Nixon for being too formal
  though he made relations with China normal
They hated Ford for pardoning Nixon
  though his own future he was risking

They hated Carter for his toothy smile
  though for M-E peace he went the extra mile
They hated...

I toss a stone into 
The poets wishing well
Just to hear the echo
Of the overreaching quill...

If you don’t grok (1) this does it mean
That I’m too smart and you’re not keen
Enough to even cut a cabbage,
Contemplate a simple adage?
 
If you don’t grok this who’s to blame
The pen, the paper, ‘Pudding Tame?’ (2)
Let all I’ve dreamed be overreaching
Who’s the student, who...

Overly possessing the karma, 
you sail in meditation.
Does creation tag along 
the destruction of self ?

The chain persists. You leave 
the theater. The ancient 
voice gives the soft resoundings.

Something was always left 
to say. The neophyte will 
not speak. The arms 
were overreaching.

Take hold of...

Winds of change 
are fanning the flames 
are fanned by the deranged. 
The flames of misdirection, 
the winds giving chase 
(orchestrated by instruments to enrage. 
Horned cheering section.) 
Drones of the BlackRock, riders in holdings 
park their game pieces in place, 
holding and withholding payment...

tight rope 

Fear of the Unknown is
in my mind
The free-falling descent of my better judgement
I've gotten so high
The fear of falling is sickening
My eyes fail me 
blind folded by nights dusk
On the edge
Tight rope walking
I feel a breeze from behind 
Pushing forward
Dare  I follow...

When the flowers bloom
And the grass is wet
You know its spring.

When the sun shines
And your skin simmers
You know its summer. 

When your lies are outrun
And exhaustion is overreaching
You know its depression.

When you cry
And feel your spirit break
You know its death.

When you dance for joy
And your...
