Best Overstepping Poems

TIME WILL TELL

A modest planet and quietly progressing
Troubling no other and fealty confessing
 Surviving well enough and paying its dues;
 Quiet corner of the galaxy. No foreseen surprise to bemuse

The ruling committee were in contented mood
 Agreements reached and cautious plans reviewed
 Coffee served. The...

Place and Time, Time in Place
I hear the mourning dove,  her lonesome call
 cooing softly, somewhere in the shade.
The sum holds steady
 strong and blinding,  high straight up in the midday haze.
The days of summer
 creep to an end,  as August sheds...

Blasphemous mankind

Overstepping nature's laws.
 
Zeus's thunderbolts strike!

Friends take advantage of me;
they don't plan to, but they do.
After I have been their friend for a while,
betrayal often comes with a snide smile
that places the blame squarely upon me.
Defending themselves with lies,
they cut the bonds of friendship.
The ones I loved the most hurt...

When I close my eyes and drift away...
Resting my head on a cloud to pray...
I'm seeing purple butterflies across my sky...
With wings of an Angel that will keep them high...
It's your smile that brings these days...
Overstepping disbelief in the shadows of yesterday...
The sound of your...

Mired in muck. Appendageless.
Sinking in shadowy whispers.
Surviving is senseless.
Eternity is a marathon with no bathrooms, no water, no finish.
I pray for light, Satan pulls the shades
No hope, no truth, no tomorrow.
I need a friend to throw me a lifeline
But they are all busy avoiding the...

Rare are those among us 
who gain wisdom without errors,

       without overstepping a line 
       we are not allowed to go beyond,

Rare are those among us 
who gain wisdom 
without errors,

without overstepping a line 
we are not allowed 
to go beyond,

without daring to be different
from what we are
supposed be.

Yet, they're the ones who do 
the perilous trailblazing 
for all of us,

who map out the constraints 
that...

Resourcing faith, resolve, resolve
conforming brace of how
consigning brackets of identity, not slow
the entry of concern, between friend's row!

Yet, still enduring, we are them, their vow
this loneness of reserve, the leader's power
conserves some owning of their toilsome plow,
ne'er freedom is their choice, we rostrum flow!

Conviction, is...

Twenty First Century Civilization Gone Askew...?

Methinks perchance man
     kind always vain

moral hike polar opposite
     from human being:
uncivil, unethical, unsocial, et cetera

It’s tricky when you give advice
Without somebody asking,
For even if your words are heard,
The truth takes some unmasking.

It’s easy overstepping bounds
To offer an opinion
But often, you just trespass
On what isn’t your dominion.

It’s hard to know what someone thinks
For feelings might stay hidden
And honesty, though touted,
In...

Can I advise you something
One's right can never be
Simply questioned 
No advice is welcome
People don't like advice
A matter of humiliating
A matter of meddling
A matter of overruling
A matter of overstepping
Any advice must be surfaced 
In proper procedures
It must be said in a nice way
With politeness
With good...

A Myth Reconciled

The earth is flat on the surface and hollow inside as the sky holds the
bubble intact unless we tempt the Gods and the firmament crashes from
our heaven above loyal to mythological narrative yet so close to the truth

Earth wind water and fire at...

I


Which time is better?
Which season is better?
Which companion is better?
Which age is better?
Were some of my thoughts as......

I carried my drowsy cherub on my shoulders
cautiously walking in my garden
so that sleep is not disturbed
by my overstepping any cobble.
The night air was perfumed
by the queen of...

He found the road long and lonely.
From this seemingly endless trek to monotony,
He wished to enter a world, luminous and exciting;
A world spun in iridescent colors and shades.
He ventured to experiment with life
And in due course slipped into psychedelic pleasures.

As curls of cigarette smoke
Were expelled...
