This divine spark of ours, super informed
with images, sounds, words, so many
poor human mind, becomes numb, clogged...

A bleached blonde sunset that arrogates my depression.
I've outgrown the inability to smile at the joke with no punchline.
Listening to the noise on the radio is enough to bring anyone to an emotional crash.
My phone weighs much less without the numbers that did not belong in the first place.
I've found nirvana in making a new best friend in myself.
Turn inward for inner peace and the rest will fall into place.

I'm scared about a bladder overflow.
I'm recently leaving through your scarecrow.
Be shrewd if you go around the corner.
Yellow snow should serve as eye-opener.

Filling up my cup
watching the waves beside me,
daydreams overflow.

Every human being
is gifted ...
The greatest proof is
the thought ...
Ideas spring up,
swarm constantly ...
Not every Idea become words,
not all notions Thrive on action..!

Kick the leaves, let bodies grow
Framed in Autumn showers glow
Rake the peak of ‘tober’s show
Pumpkin hues a zephyr throw
Saffron shake of candy snow
And brittle brown tornado
Child’s reaction blow by blow
Swirling, twirling, vertigo
Rosy leapers letting go
Roars Calypso overflow

R-ivers and streams overflow,
E-verlasting graces above;
N-ever ever running dry,
E-ven the Almighty's love.
O-ctober fourteenth morn
B-lessings grow and glow;
E-very drop of rain has caused
R-ivers and streams
O-verflow.

Obama Overflow To Trump
There of course are many things we know;
From Obama Trump experienced overflow;
Trump bone spurs,
People up stirs;
Ability Obama gave for economy to grow.
Had to get this off my chest before I began
my Saturday chores. Hope you don't mind
my limerick style that I have down flat.
Of course, there may be a few wrinkles here
and there.

As I travel through the places in my mind
Like all the faces on the vine
The memories aren't all mine
Ready to go on the drop of a dime
When we have to walk this line
Coasting through life in a whole new timeline
That will no doubt realign our direction
When we meet it without exception
To discover it's just one big reflection
That will be met with our loving affection
Where I would like to unwind
All these thoughts that I don't want to bind
Because It helps me define
The one who I see dancing in front of me
Makes my spirit soar so free
As I swing from tree to tree
Trying to get to that happy place in my mind
To let go of these memories
That are not all mine
I would rather maintain this down low
So we both come to know
This love that is pouring out on overflow
Where our hearts come together
In hopes, our love will grow
Taller than the trees
As sweet as pie where our love will kiss the sky
Baby, where you will electrify
The outcome when we testify
Our love hits the bullseye

I captain the words to suit my mood
to curse or then to pray
And document those things I feel
to others then to say
I choose each verb and noun with care
and place them side by side
Reminding all of what we share
those knots we must untie
I move the future to the past
the present to the front
As what most lingers, then to last
the handle to the pump
Juxtaposing based on need
the lines as rivers go
Where currents cast my dreams adrift
—and wishes overflow

when something
comes to destroy
the peace that lays
within the sea of the
soul never allow the
storm to come and cause the sea
to overflow and flood the land
of positivity that had
been established over a short
period of time
