Best Overspill Poems

The lilies were excessive.
Bless her, she does her best to
Lift the funerial hush
That's settled on this damned household.
Get them out,
You can't contain their boisterous bloom
To the kitchen alone.
The overspill of white
Does little to obscure the silence they're replacing.
Graceful, disgrace,
Wretch like me....

born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting
  alongside the southern Iapetus Ocean
  equatorial deep-time child of Laurentia and Avalonia
  journey northward, surfacing, submerging
  surfing the waves again, a colder Hibernian dalliance

A little light entertainment on another wistful people distancing day...

The Owl and the Puddycat went to sleep
tucked up cosy and warm
Till Little Boy Blue come blasting his horn
causing a raucous storm 
The Cat and the Fiddle
both jumped sky high
Mary and her Little Lamb, startled
began to...

Hyperthermia can be caused by standing in slip streams in sluice dumps. It never really fails if ice water can run a lake from a rusted tap. And the mid morning broken by the drip drip drip from a nozzle. Squirt then. Nozzles are not...

A template swap is a switch over to a swimming sword. Swordfish are very pleased at this and dunk their noses into goblets in a godlike fashion. Such etiquette in a swim. Formational framework finds format. And even a small pinnacle of cake icing could...

The past few weeks have been so tough
As you can clearly see
Four funerals for us to attend
But its not made me teary

The first was Aedan’s he was a lovely young man
I worked with him at school when he was aged eleven
He told me then he...

What's behind the smiles
What's behind the sparkle in your eyes
Is it tears?
Fears?

The laughter
The craziness and banter
The fun weirdness
The mere queerness

A wall you put up to the worlds eyes
Even to those you love there are lies
To protect them from a world unseen
By those who have ever...

Leave your past behind,

 take a look with fresh eyes.

 View the world with heart

 felt emotion, love and

 devotion. Your eyes were

 wide shut, now they have

 been truly opened up. From

 Heaven above, let your heart

 overspill with love....

The pointed ears of a snail can be quite ornate really. Especially if adorned with precious stones as earrings. Buffaloes bulbous brows bear banging bunions. Marvellous. Just marvellous it is to watch the glass moving etiquette of a toque faced turtle necked triangular train man....

Behold each surprise, like the wise
Bliss magnetism fills us
Ego illusionary dies
Bubble bursts without fuss

Witness consciousness, still
Nectar doth overspill
The joy we feel, His will

Cascading bliss rise
Behold each surprise

Tension overspill weathered
Sparks chain lightening

The storms of earth way 
Searching for the next shot to quench it's thirst today
Colors scintillating into the thundering airway
Creating a glowing natural fairway

Winter wants rain ignite
Stubble rub after a rippling night 
Thunder rumbles like a deep-belly laugh incite
Stirring the air with unease firelight

The sky...

Dead glass pipes reproduced singing drops to pitter patter amid flesh. 
Flesh stretching between two flinching to open lids. 
Pale blue lips creasing blisters that welcomed warm breath. 
Dilation of hazel nut marbles caught the end spitting pipe. 
These sleeping sordid sores supported the bruises...

Looking back over all of one’s life
one was to stop and ponder so much
so many roads I could have went
but through it you see God’s tender touch

The providence of God is so vast
so many evidences of His divine mark
this fills your heart with real thankfulness
so...
