Best Overruns Poems
Is Your Mind FreeRemember worries and fear overruns your mind.
Hope, joy, and love become hard to find.
With my faith, hope and courage combined.
I find a deeper love for all mankind.
What is it that I do not realize,
Total chaos in this confused world, and yes I see...

Who Needs Red Tape!It seems it takes reams of paperwork to get things done nowadays.
You can become so snarled in red tape that it'll leave you in a daze!

Had panels and boards been involved to design for him a...

Or ruin our dispositions...

Run AmokPalpable hatred makes your nostrils seethe
As you inhale all the imagined wrongs
Grounded in ignorance
And no reality
A match is struck
Martyrs are made
And fools are kings
Grievances run wild
Fed by even more vengeful sins
The place is ablaze
The rioting season has begun
Who will outlive
This bellicose insanity
That is but...

Night LifeAs the beams in departure
darkness, they crawl slowly
taking charge and ready to rule
that surrounded shell above all
slouching in their aging gray
fresh again after sloughing its light
as plants in shift of their breath
and creatures, they creep in gloominess
in veil, another reality begins
As shadows of loneliness dwells

Grace and SolitudeHovering hemispheres habitual harmonics, symmetrical solitudes in their Sonics,
Mastering melodies with mnemonics, amidst approbation of acoustical avionics…
Stellar symphonies sailing Celestial Seas, applauding Angels aerially appease,
Birds belting songs on tranquil trees, botanical gardens blooming in the breeze;
Superstrings romantically resonate, virtuous vibrations valiant as they create,
Overtures upon...

A Malady of the MindA malady of the mind
Dominates the will
As the surging river
Overruns the mill
Omnipotent craving
The bullpen cannot hold
A temptation unremitting
Annulling principle
No affection or reason
Or threat of penalty
Can possibly deter - or -
Potentiate the will...

Musings From a FoxholeThe sergeant volunteered me for guard this cold and moonless night.
I was rushed to the front as a new replacement addin' to my plight.

The only friend I have is my rifle as...

Always AssumeI live
where the other world meets reality
Always Assume
ignoring, staring
at blinding glances of sun rays
I die
alone in a crowded room
echoed stress
deafening what’s assumed
Assume wrong
and wrong you will be
Assume long
and think of what they see
Assume strong
and read each body note
Assume gone
and despair overruns hope...

DilemmaSmidgen ahead of a dreadful time,
shatters a dream of wiser thine,
rage dipped words, in their seize,
all in breach, of my sleeping peace.
Douse my fire, not that lord of wind,
quench all desires, not though if skinned,
rob that tale, not the crown of crime,
and blight the bond,...

Raspberry Bloodher hands: blooming. sugar, hot
and humming. those wrists, sweet,
no longer sticky. yet stubborn,
reigning the laughter of two years ago.
her lips: fruit. ripe, or rotten, you
no longer remember. still, they remind you.
sin is where your body overruns your soul.
let nature trespass you once in a while.

Counting Cumulative CostsWhat does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?
Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.
Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot divide such universal costs
against ego resilience
too willing to sacrifice ecosystemic...
