Long Overloading Poems

I am reading my Resilience Systems Manual,
avidly,
like an underfed developer
hoping to strike gold
while laying healthy habitat foundations.

Today I see Community Resilience mention
Tipping Points,
dipolar appositional,
when exceeded 
on a WayTooMuch Yang OverInvested
Western dualistic
nature ain't spirit
so divine couldn't...

“One can never consent to creep
When one feels an Impulse to soar”, once held by Helen.
When I desire to win Bharat Ratna, I don't want to accept failure without participating
But the politics, class discernment &...

Venice, Italy, is a crazy shamozzle of new and old 
Where junk, graffiti, decay, stunning beauty, 
     history and culture poverty and opulence, all reside side by side, bobbing. 
Water dominates...

Johnny grew up on the hard side of town,
Every day he got up somehow life beat him down.
The people, in his eye, were not very kind,
He’d rather move on and leave them behind.
His mom and...

The groom will keep his name
whilst she will change hers
to his. We talked over these things
as we constructed a home
that would become home to the new couple.
Some laughed when they asked us
to construx the place.

Suffering from the I'll effects of
terminal overloading of my brain
operation at full capacity 

The strain is palpable and starting 
on my face to show

These city streets and skyscraper
building floor wall's 

I fear are leading me...

WAITING TO EXHALE

Now that I have successfully alienated everyone else,
the time has come to liberate myself, having played  
this out in my mind…so many times I guess I have
finally acted on it—as you try...

What does it mean
To be brave?
I ask myself this as I cascade
Coffee, pour the coffee
Overloading vacant round things
With handles that are supposed to make it easier
Make it so much more easier.. Then it seems
Supposedly 
Burning...

I fixed myself
Rearranged and got reprogrammed 
You see the way I was before
I must have had tons of viruses
Cause no one liked me
The individual 
Stand up for how she feels
Type of me
You see to them...

Too much is on my mind and 
It's haunting me like a bad dream. 
Making it tough to sleep and,
When I'm wake when it's effecting me.
A form of fear that won't let go of me.

Video shock treatment 
got my thoughts moving wavy ... 
why ain’t my fear of the future 
dawn misty dissipating?
This mental picture is getting more hazy
Dr. Strangelove says 
the other patients are nervously afraid

The overhasty mind gets cluttered
often losing concentration,
not doing chores or things 
rationally, but overloading
itself with unneccesary thinking;
it happens to me sometime,
leaving the car key inside the ignation!
Imagine my grumpy mood...
I get very skittish and to...

A renaissance woman
Bathed in dust and light
Of many moods
Sometimes wild, often stormy
But never less then majestic
Her domestication
A mark of shame
Had almost erased her instincts
But sometimes nets are superfluous
She slipped through the holes
Putting up the great...

A glass.
Hollow, clear, innocent.
A glass.
Cool water dripping, drowning, devouring.
A glass.
An ocean flowing, raging, white capped fury,
Overloading me with the fear
Of dying, crying, sighing
Into a shoulder, of a bolder, colder, older
Lover who cares, shares, bares his...

I can't tell you what to think,
for your thoughts are 
exclusively yours,
and they are elusive. 
They come and go as they please.
With it's complexities,
It comes whenever it likes, 
overloading your head 
with it's multiple waves...

He sits on the edge of the hill
his abode from a society
that shattered his dreams

he can hear the echo of thunder
in the valley below
see bombs of color burst all around
as he looks for a place...

Hanging clothes on your exercise bike, driving to the corner store
Taking the elevator up one floor, snacking while watching TV evermore.
Eating ice cream out of the carton, overloading the dinner plate
Eating sweets and drinking sodas,...

Walking a tight rope without an umbrella
feet unsure of the next steps to take
heart heavy, mind uneasy, can't look down
equilibrium off kilter, yet still watching ahead
focusing on you alone, selfishness set aside
as days with you...

I could sleep here if my heart would slow,
Breathing you in, savouring this embrace,
Can't help smiling wrapped in you,
I'm drawn to your eyes as I stare at your face,

You ask me what I'm looking at,
Wide...

Concentration,congregations,communications
illustrations,consultations,relations
persecutions,sanitations,punctuations,hesitation
revised,surmised,surprised in a disguise

The reality is known, system re-booted
salute, population expansions
weather changes, climates are changing
social sites exploring, overloading in errors

sharing, caring, giving back
homemade tasks, ideas forwarding
showing, make known
groups of gatherings
experiments abroad
laughing full of joy

The sun is shining bright, but the world is dark
This pandemic has swept the world and every park

But the preparations were lacking, and scared me so
Now, some places...

Love and secrets
Yearnings bottled up
Desires tangled
In thoughts in deliberations
Mute, 
A voiceless heart

The fear unrelenting
Crushing my heart
My soul
Battering my confidence,
My resolve
Rendering me impotent,
Neutered
Mute
I can only be

Simmering deep inside
A love unproclaimed
Longing to burst forth, 
Blosom.
Emotions seething
Raring to...

Waiting for chips*
Hungry at noon
Vinegar, salt
Use a fork not a spoon

Eat by the sea
Where the waves are unhurried
Peas that are mushed
Sauce that is curried

Two slices of bread
A chip butty create
Overloading my buds 
Luscious carbohydrate

There are...
