Best Overshadows Poems

Growing up with ADHD forces you to adapt,
impulsive behaviour controls how you react,
attention span wanders and naturally distracts,
you face an impact, that in fact, doesn't change how you act.

Turns your face red but still you face it,
hear your words with the rest, instant regret,
impulse isn't...

In the middle of the universe, I stand 
My mind seeking comprehension 
The mysteries of life tantalize my tenacious grip on wisdom
I stand
Observing omnipotent organization
The universe expands as I stand in wonder
What does it all mean?
Infinite answers press against my finite mind
Clamoring for recognition
I stand:...

Sunlight kissed the horizon; our young age,
leaving dots and dashes upon our crisp page.
Wild flower and Wonders, we both did grow;
watching seasons change from spring to snow.

Sunlight above and the noon overhead;
teenage verbiage and words left unsaid.
Wild flower and Wonders were left behind.
Sometimes snowflakes choose...

When sorrow overwhelms you,
And, pain is like the oldest friend,
Remember, when you’re down,
This isn’t where the battle will end.

When worries leave you fearful,
And, the clouds just won’t break,
Don’t forget – there in that sky,
Abides a peace that you can’t mistake.

When mourning seems everlasting,
And, grief prompts...

Welcome to the world filled with dark skin,
That seat belongs to you,
Let`s discuss the outstanding matters of our two.
Every pinch which will strengthen the rightful decision without hurtful rule.
I`m for the motion, and it`s not new,
“Black is beautiful”,
That`s what birds in the sky say wonderfully,
They...

Not long ago our destinies aligned 
and of all the people it had to be you 
your fragrance in the wind is left behind 
as you walked by as i held the door for you 
we wined and dined and hoped to outshine 
the glittering...

"MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE"

I miss who I once was and use to be
Bound by darkness, longing to be set free
Trapped by solitude, surrounded by pain
Nothing but heartache and sorrow to gain

A spiritual warfare, raging from within
Closer to despair than I have ever been
A battle that carnal...

Love's light beams from the hearts and souls of Man
but His insecurities shade its glow.
And in shadows, hate and bigotry grow;
though Man's conscience interjects when it can.
But, like a child, He fears the bogeyman;
facing repercussions, He lets hope go.
Scared of storms, He revels in the...

Summer days in a mining town
Lunch box sitting by the kitchen door
Whistle blows at the Colliery
Time for work, all my muscles sore
Long day’s work for little pay
No complaints, we’re doing fine
Wednesday, got a half day off
Have a few beers, forget the mine
Down inside that mine...

At first glance ...
Amid turbulent strokes
and vivid hues,
eyes mesmerized by
maiden's molten-red mane—
Love and Pain

Gently kissing
her lover's nape
in tender embrace,
while Pain's
lurking specter
overshadows their
intimate space,
threatening Love's
fragile grace

Second glance ...
Gent's deathlike pallor
portrays a chilling
alternative motif.
Is love really her goal, or
is she nosferatu feasting
on a submissive soul?
Dark eyes reflect...

A December sun sends splendiferous rays
to illuminate Dawn's Halo of light.
And bright sunbeams polish the dullest days,
dissolving darkness imposed by the night.
But shadows can't appease Sol's appetite;
and He rises to consume night outright.

Ice crystals sparkle, and snowflakes glisten
as first light puts Winter's white on display.
And...

There is a darkness in my life, 
a forecast of torrential rain that drowns my heart with sorrow,
and its gloom clouds my mind, 
washing away any hope for tomorrow,

This darkness overshadows me, 
eclipsing whatever light that remains within my soul, 
and the more I try...

In the realm of beguiling shadows where illusions paint the sky,
The bias for balance is ignored, as reason takes its flight.
Disregarding the light of truth, madness steers the moral tales,
Woven through repetitive histories, hearts are chained in the prisons of insanity.
Divide and conquer, their ancient...

Shadows  9-22-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadows

Living in ethereal shadows of compassion,
In profiles of grace,
Mercy overshadows stumbling stones
Revealed in a lens of benevolent focus
To eclipse blisters of ebony shades 
With wispy balms of healing from raining penumbras,
No longer shadow boxing with bruising lacerations.

Shadows of grace pursue cutting eclipses
And wraps...
