Overthrows Poems

Destiny, the final milestone

My sizzling heart failing around the clock
No light colliding with the dark to spark
But essence dying passively through the dim
Dream's wall burning by the fire of terror
In a second, a sharp arrow infiltrates the soul
And silently overflowing blood around its artery.
Nothing emerged than an insane time,
Everything not set as materialised
There are volatile inheritance bloodstreams
Follows to end up with a quiet destination. 
What a life ushers for nought...
No, no satiety to purify the lure in life. 
Look at the moon shaded by a cloud
A hard rocky cloud
Cosmos horizon...
Never has it appeared over the sky
Even ancient times have yet to happen.
A silent mourning overthrows the time 
A path continues to the graveyard
And I found a frosted body lying 
cuddled with dreams. 
A scamp life left behind the snag...
A presence of fervent destiny, a final milestone!

Oh, Romeo

"From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star cross'd lovers take their life,
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife."
— Prologue, Romeo and Juliet


As teens, they were told you’re too young
Time passed and they both were married
Another vowed they were among
Lovers who stole hearts once buried

Time passed and they both were married
Like this might mend the wounds within
Lovers who stole hearts once buried
Bygones could tell of pain that’s been

Like this might mend the wounds within
Where battles left them so forlorn
Bygones could tell of pain that’s been
As they stayed in darkness to mourn

Where battles left them so forlorn
Star-crossed lovers - hear hearts breaking
As they stayed in darkness to mourn 
The feelings felt were earthshaking

Star-crossed lovers - hear hearts breaking
Another vowed they were among 
The feelings felt were earthshaking
As teens, they were told you’re too young

Because I Live

" As living  on earth , 
Some  decisions 
Can be above your choices " 
                                               Quote by poet

Because I live single due to some agreements with God 
Thousands of single women won't understand 
That kind of life condition as they always want to be
In lives of  servants of God to live in peace. 

I know that
There is time for 
Everything on earth. 

Because I live to work for God 
Many people  always be confused to see 
How I pay my bills and provisions in the house 
" Someone with no pay job , just  praying for people 
Here and there freely
But he is living happily and healthily"  
Some  people say daily. 

Because I live good with some  people 
There are some  haters who always complicate 
Things here and there to destroy  good plans 
For their useless dreams due to chronic envy. 

Righteousness guards the man of integrity , 
But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
Bible quote ,  Proverb: 13 : 6

The Transition of Palettes

Touch the soaring leaves of autumnal gold,
What canvas can capture such grains untold?
As the King Midas touch runs through their veins,
A November palette fusion now reigns

See the Old Oak standing erect and tall?
Its broad leaves a cascading waterfall,
Season impressionists blend the hues,
That overthrows the deciduous blues

Smell the rustic damp of the fallen leaves,
As the Willow wipes tears without her sleeves,
Drooping with envy at the evergreens,
Who mock her without her tender lush greens

Hear November lull for the next season,
To December, silver sage of reason,
Who will wrap around her chilled crocheted shawls,
Preparing the palettes before Spring calls

First Time Around

A smile on her face
and a gleam in her eye,
zeal gets her on first.
      W A T C H
Next play, pure luck
pitcher overthrows second.
She's half-way round.
       F O C U S
Third batter bunts;
out number one at first,
She makes it to third.
       G L E A M 
Sacrifice fly ball
she heads for home.
Ump bellows, "Safe!"

Real Eternity

I'm addicted
to fantasy because
if i miss it 
I have neither peace
 nor poetry...
My health becomes unstable,
any shot
of shadow overthrows  me;
any stab of
cold cuts my
quietness...
I don't live without the
impossible ... because the real
hallucinates me!
I got used to dreams
not to live in the desert ...
I got used to the idea of
not being clay or
earth nor flesh ... since
 I dressed for eternity ...!

When Folly Is Wisdom

When man turns into bandit,
and thinks folly is wisdom,
to govern the republic,
he overthrows own government,
he bitterly desires to hang on.

On his tomb shall be scribbled;
“Here lies the dull man
who was bitter with himself,
hugged and kissed  adversary,
to occupy this palace.”

Rapture

Let us embrace
the dark
with love and rapture.

With a passion
that overthrows life
a riot in our hearts.

Light a candle
we feel
the vibration
coming from the flame.

It burns it's way
into our psyche
clear as a crystal
we possess an eagles eye.

I lay bare before you
feeling content
loving you
in your nakedness...

I Mind

I do not think my mind,
Is like he used to be:
He used to chat with me,
Contradict and chide me,
Play cunning wit, puzzle,
Chuckle with, amuse me;
But now he's darker;
He hides things from me;
No longer open,
Like he used to be.
When he speaks to me;
Commands me simply;
To do such actions,
I am loath to do.
I cannot fight him;
He is stronger still,
Then ever he did used to be;
By some bold force,
Which powers him,
Quite overthrows,
My weak body,
The pact he had,
With self-control,
That part of him,
I used to know,
No longer is

Wonder of the Dusk

As dusk overthrows the dawn,
                                             the sky's face glitter,
                                          Another call for moon play,
                                              where lover fritter
                                            in love's hide and seek
                                        two dreamy souls intertwined
                                             in night blissful shriek

Ultimate Judge

ULTIMATE JUDGE

The earth sits on His royal palms
His palms wide enough 
To contain all the elements of the earth
Both great and small
Seated on His heavenly throne
His royal legs resting on the earth
He rules in the kingdom of men
Directing the affairs of the universe
Judging righteously
Executing justice for the oppressed
And punishing the wicked
His sovereign will always prevails
Over the affairs of the world
He neither sleeps nor slumbers
No one ever questions Him
Nor challenges His authority
Though the high and mighty
And the earthly judges
May pervert justice
He ultimately overthrows their judgment
And imposes His own
For His judgment is supreme
He does whatsover pleases Him
For He is the ultimate judge.

Money

Mere means of being master of all labor, this power
Overthrows all virtue, and write the metered history
Nations spin web in web, and now it is the cocoon hour
Emerge the spider on spindly legs from calyx tragedy
Yelping bankers and their merchants billed for all wars

Consumers credit lost, money minting on us its scars
Ruined trust in men awake us to being pawns of greed
Economy after economy in goldless tatter and its shame
Dies, drizzle, toxic in resuurection the fawned at weed
Industrialist used to circumvent taboos in the blind game
Trapping with historic dream the energy of men stagnant still.

I come not to Zion yet but old Jerusalem in desert sand
Sighing at the prints, O garrulous the nail marked hand

Debt and deal transacted, the calyx shrivels in winkless sun
Orbituuary of Babel's history, Mammon's feathers unwaxed
Nature in sure cycles recovers, wind breaks the spider spun
Emancipated faith confronts the Ceasar, ransomed and taxed

Dreaming 'Land of the Irish Isles' Part 1

It's a brilliant and starry night,
The moon overthrows it's light,
As shadows dance across the warm wet earth,
Like fairies illuminating the murky forests,
With their otherworldly glow,
Playing hide-and-seek,
Beneath the toadstools,
And the hollows of sleeping flowers,
It is quite mesmerizing.

Think of vast emerald green hills,
Rolling towards the sea for miles,
The coastline with the sound of colliding waves,
The heavenly scent of the sea breeze,
Drawing you closer toward it,
Beckoning for you to enter,
As the minute fish that flip into the air,
Almost seeming to fly into the still night sky.

Just thinking about it reminds me of a poem,

To my love,
I give thee the sky,
The earth, The stars and the heavens,
The land and the sea,
The creatures that dwell in and upon it,
The fire that burns on a cold winter night,
The crystal palace wrought from the shimmering ice,
Everlasting life and faithfulness,
And most of all,
My never ending love to thee,
My sweet goddess of eternity. 

Hurt

Passion overthrows -
Virtues unforgiving ache
Cries ‘til love returns.

Running Option

The salty sweat dripping into my dry mouth
My heart's beat in my ears
Head throbbing to the same beat

My whole body is running
Sprinting away from my world
That was falling apart anyway

Turning back will never be an option
I must keep going and not stopping
Otherwise the world I left might catch up

Numbness from running overthrows my thoughts
Which is what I want
If my past pain catches up there will be only one option

That I try not to think about
I'll just keep running until maybe
My old world will repair itself, and I can be happy

But until then I will keep running
To some unknown destination
Where maybe light will come into the dark world I left behind
