Best Overwhelms Poems
Embrace That Love, Romance That So Overwhelms
Sad and alone, missing your breath again
my heart's softest beat, my one truest friend;
with your smile a dawn's symphony of lights,
your ardor the wondrous magic, our nights
and your caress, the treasure of paradise
no more needed, such will always suffice.
Walk with me, into depths of kingly realms.
Embrace that love, romance that so overwhelms.
I sit sad and alone, singing my pains
my soul's deepest desires, our love's remains;
your sweetest touch at morn's new brightest hours,
our bed of silk, together our showers
and promise of day's pleasures with you
each a bounty, a blessing, just we two.
Walk with me, into depths of kingly realms.
Embrace that love, romance that so overwhelms.
Sad and alone, missing your breath again
my heart's softest beat, my one truest friend;
with your smile a dawn's symphony of lights,
your ardor the wondrous magic, our nights
and your caress, the treasure of paradise
no more needed, such will always suffice.
Walk with me, into depths of kingly realms.
Embrace that love, romance that so overwhelms.

Rhyme, ( A Romance That Never Dies )
Miserable is life on earth.
Drab to the life we use to enjoy.
We see sun dancing above, but the brightness only bleaks our persona.
It is a beautiful day outside yet our minds are not alive.
Desperate we seek for remedies not known as
we question the effects shown.
We may not see the opaquer side, but we are on a quest for insight.
Yet, the deeper we search the more dismal are our lives.
For salvation of what we know, our souls must demand a release.
We must find a way to embrace each other to make ends meet.
If we are not part of structure, our life will remain dreary.
Not anyone can be an emergence of spirit without a reason to be contented.
The reformation of government is imperative.
It informs our lives that we are the greatest intelligence.
That we are of segmentation and variations.
That our cultures expand to another’s individuality.
We must communicate on all levels to understand.
If we cannot define our purpose, we will for sure become extinct.
Mentality is a way of thinking.
Our identity will be lost without a frame of meaning.
Joy comes by night and arrives during daylight.
It forms from transgression of the plight we fight.
When sunset, we anticipate our accomplishments, and
may we find our engagements were fulfilled.
Our mindset has overcome the quandary.
And, our natures are cohesively involved.
Our country has formed super vision beyond tomorrow.
Plus, our determination is executed and we are inner cores.
Life on earth is our fortitude.
Endurance that we are within.
With grit and courage, our tenacity will be seen.
Our framework is edifice transparency.
This is where limpidity overwhelms opacity!

When Passion overwhelms
Passion my weakness that tends to overpower,
as if I am living only to nurture love and hover?
Logical thoughts beating and buzzing in head,
my biggest strength, words are better unsaid !
Heart full of love pumps into my farthest cell,
yearnings sizzling hot that refuse a tranquil.
Tears from starry eyes slip like quicksilver,
life nearing end, gloom and sorrow shimmer!
Wake up, can't let my being vanish in vain,
betrayed love why am I craving to attain ?
Unaccomplished, Unacknowledged, Unsought,
can't let suffocate and blot out my thought.
Love be soft as feathers, mind strong as reins,
my strength my ideas, firmer than any chains.
Sprout and grow fast and tempestuously,
making me stand venerable conspicuously !

The day overwhelms me
I stand naked before the Creator
My sins and stains exposed
on this, the Day of Atonement
How can one atone for all the iniquities
of the year that has passed
Words are mumbled; some sobs are heard
Is all forgiven? Am I cleansed now?
The day overwhelms me
He sees who I am; He knows my heart
Is this real? This cruel game we play?
And yet I fast; I go to synagogue
To stand with my fellow sinners
In kinship, there is some small comfort
Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement
begins 20 minutes before sunset
today, Sunday, September 27
you're goodness overwhelms me
I an scarily take it in
you broke my chains and freed me from sin
you showed me love and compassion
and pulled me out the deep dark pit
and in my life your light you lit
you made my darkens bright
and stood by me both day and night
you still loved me when I did things that I wanted to do
and now my life I give back to you
I am sorry for the times I may of had doubt
and my life with you I can not be without.
Sometimes, the longing for her overwhelms me, and no one else knows this silent pain,
Most people think my pain is just poetry, just words, images from my wandering mind,
They don't see the battles I fight deep within my soul, where shadows dance on the edge of memories,
Maybe sometimes I lie in poetry because the truth is too heavy to bear aloud.
Sometimes, what I don't say echoes louder than all the words I lay on paper,
Sometimes I feel a dull rage, a boredom that engulfs me, and my mind empties completely,
Like a box with nothing inside, just her name, her face, her voice,
Playing in an endless loop in my tired mind.
Sometimes I just want to give up, to leave everything behind and sink into oblivion,
I am so tired that I don't want to get up even when the train stops at my station,
I sit there, caught between somewhere and nowhere, hating myself for being too weak to stand.
Sometimes I feel like a fool, a man lost in his own silence,
Carrying wounds unseen by anyone, signs of an untold story,
Sometimes I want to cry out for help, to shout from the depths of my being, "Please, help me,"
But the words remain stuck, trapped behind the walls I've built myself.
And yet, the world keeps moving, and I must move forward,
Even when every step is heavy, burdened by the weight of her absence,
So I walk through this sea of silence, searching for light among shadows,
Learning to live with the longing as a part of me, like a flame that never extinguishes.
