Candle glow at midnight
The hatch is locked
A scrambling splutter
As I reach for the key of circles and bolts and lines
But just as before
The circle ends
Four corners behind
And I'm scrambling again for another key
I plead the glow as I–
Well, do I cherish my existence once more?
Foot taps to the humming
Blood rushing under my skin
I'm thrown to the couch
A corner, I curb
Did I feel the end? Was there an end in sight?
My head tilts, and I
Can't quite seem to keep the colours
Steady in my mind
For better or worse, I do mind
Do I love?
I don't love, I don't love, I don't love
I don't love. I do love. I don't love. I do love.
Candle glow at midnight,
The hatch is locked
A scrambling splutter
As I reach for the key of circles, bolts and lines.
But just as before. The circle ends 4 corners behind
And I'm scrambling again for another key
I plead the glow;
It flickers as I-
Well, I,
I cherish my existence once more
As another circle starts to grow...
My foot taps to the humming,
Blood rushing under my skin, I'm thrown to the couch–
It's way past midnight. Immobile, so I curb the corner.
Did I feel the end?
For better or worse, the hatch unlocks, no key.
My head tilts, and
I can't seem
To keep the colours uniform again.
I spiral to only splatters of *pink* and *green* caressing the wall
Overwhelmingly.
Please, don't, love.
But I do, do I? FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
I plead once more.
And become void, I hate. I hate. I hate.
But only pink could resonate.
Love can be overwhelming somewhere,
It might push someone away,
As it scares them.
They have never seen that kind of love before.
Love comes with no limitations,
So, some want to shower all of it,
Often forgetting that,
The other person is different.
In the rush of emotions,
It is easy to forget,
That not everyone is ready,
For something so vast and consuming.
we rise
although gravity and time
may hold us in the cupping
of their hands
we rise in a plethora of dreams
escaping above the vents
of circumstance
we rise into the tent
of all embracing;
and as if, and but, and still
we rise into each contemplation
new as the reckoning
of togetherness
draws us to the breath
of our existence;
rising, always rising
to meet the air of every day
to stay through every
active play and to meet
what will become.
the beauty of this world so much,
that I must blink with astonishment
to hold back tears.
If I could not blink I fear,
sixty per cent of who I am,
would leave me, in abject eagerness,
to kiss the earth.
His love incarcerates her heart
Like a prisoner captive in shackles
Inescapable
All consuming,
Overwhelming
Like a magnet to its metal.

There is a special kind of love,
A gift from the heavens above;
A profound bond forever binding,
A love that's always reminding.
Of how my presence brings smiles to your face,
And how my love fills up so much space.
An overwhelming love of mama,
A love so pure, there's no drama.
And when I find myself in tears,
My mother's love stands without fears. She takes me in her arms so tight,
And hugs away all of my fright.
"Baby don't you cry," she softly sings,
And to my heart, her love she brings . With lullabies, she sings me to sleep, And in her arms, I can safely keep.
Mama sings for me, with a heart full of care,
Her love unbounded, ever so rare.
You are everything me, she says, What I'd give to remove all your dismay.
A love that fills every part of me,
A love that's forever, don't you see?
You are forever in my heart,
And in my love, you'll never be apart.
death cannot endure eternity ~ if it could we’d never be born
(quote by poet)
Find rhapsody, great rhapsody, fomenting on high seas
Come lift up waves of despondency, I’m flailing so deep
Bamboozle revenant senses, restore my latent zeal
Overwhelm one million fold, melancholy drowning me
Find ecstasy, give ecstasy, paralyse me with bliss
I’m hooked on saline solution, and compelled to resist
Rejuvenate exuberance, nullify emptiness
I want to be possessed again, in a wild wanton kiss
Find buoyancy, come buoyancy, aerate this lowly soul
Raise me up to the firmament, let heaven take control
I’ll face down blackest ether, see beyond its parasol
Never again to sit stagnant, just to bow shall I stall
Find gravity, sheer gravity, falls short on temple steps
Pressurising in nature, stopped dead in a gods codex
Free now to bathe in mercy, overcome but not by depth
Expanding on forever, where beginnings intersect

OVERWHELMING
Overwhelming waterfall in dazzling dynamism.
Overwhelming river on ceaseless flow flowing forever.
Overwhelming ocean on aqua opulence.
Overwhelming rain showers with cloud burst and thunders.
Overwhelming flora and fauna in astonishing diversity.
Overwhelming Nature on amazing happenstances.
Overwhelming journey of life in inexplicable experiences.

“Wondrously overwhelming is God’s goodness that leads recipient toward wondrous good works.” By the Poet
God’s overwhelming love prevails
Freeing heart from sin-chaining pain
Since blest compassion never fails
Offering life eternal gain.
Christ’s overwhelming saving light
Always glows midst radiant grace
Cheering faith toward service height
To surmount tests along life’s race.
The Spirit’s overwhelming peace
Keeps on refreshing weary soul
Midst serene care that does not cease
For zest that props reaching-out goal.
I’m overwhelmed as I draw nigh*
To my Saviour for triumph’s fly.
*James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

1st place, "Writing Challenge - 'O' Words" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 3/26/2023.
Daylight fell into twilight,
twilight fell into the night
to leave me on a painfilled cobbled road
where I stumbled into the murky dark
confused, disoriented
feeling the gushing waves of upheaval
throbbing in my chest
where my heart was once full
and is now an empty vessel
submerged by pain
suffocating in a cavernous sea of sadness
I begin to wander in circles
as the road grows smaller
and the stars drip from the sky
one after another like mournful raindrops
that splatter at my feet
leaving a pool where nothing lives
I'm alone, cold in a desolate space
where all that was drifts by
my lungs fill with the black smoke of yesterday's ashes
I try to hold back the rising tsunami
that is welling in my eyes
where the only sound I hear
is my heart crying

Overwhelming
Lover, how you swagger in, so boldly brash
Overwhelming reason to seductive state
Taking my lips under sunset's final flash
Passion rich colors we recklessly create
I am warned of craters left once comets crash
Yet I blaze crimson with you, defying fate
If this night becomes but a memory shed
Into my gray age, let your thunder be red

Overwhelming joy when she replied, " I love you too"
Very beautiful woman seen and memorized in
Early 2001, when I was qualified to be an Electrician
Really , She was so sociable, godfearing and
Wise woman who answered all my criteria but
Heaven called her , she was filling my heart,
Elected by my heart gone, I was down in the dumps for
Long period to decide to go on with my life and
Meet other woman who could comfort me
In that forlorn period , oh! yes , I was over the moon as
New adorable face was captured to erase the old one
Glory was of God who gives and takes when He wants.

Theme chosen : OVERWHELMING
....Third place winning in
This poetry contest .....
Always subject to my teenager whims and complaints
Subject to my harsh words so casually thrown,
At blame for things for things you truly couldn't help
I say I can't express my emotions to you
But it is only half true,
the blame not actually on you
My perception of myself as a protective wall,
you merely a net to trust if I crumble
In fact, you're the wall
Some cracks you were unable to fix in time
Yet you stuff it with shards of glass,
trying your best to protect me,
at least from the heat accompanying the light that squishes its way through
I have not yet said a simple thank you
I know not why gratefulness arrives with a companion in the form of shame
Yet in the same coach of these two passengers,
my heart welled in gratitude when you declared your dream
The dream, so simply spoken, that I succeed in whatever I desire
And that you never force your desires onto mine
Just that you serve as a force so I may stand tall
I wished I hugged you then, said a sweet thank you and a love you
Instead of doing that in the kitchen
I write this in my room
Just a simple note
"Thank you dad."
The phenomenon, as it manifests itself over the course of a journey.
It turned me into an Orion in the form of rudimentary
When life’s trying to surpass me,
I suffice against suffrage and then I see
I strive for change, living in the Trans Lunar.
My body is here on Earth, but my mind is elsewhere.
Vigorous belief in the morning star
I ducked, crawled, and hid in things and behind.
I was laughed at, hated, and blind.
My heart is broken as a lost child,
but my intuition tells me not to give up.
It turned out to be ironic because
of where I was sitting. and I stand up.
I defy the prophecy of a wiry-breaking tongue.
in chaos for the poor child, Angels sang
I take my deterioration in appreciation.
From slavery, I built, in my own mind, a nation.
My eccentricity should not be dejected.
It's now a useless iron that can't be dedicated.
My time is now. I am in for an overwhelming delight.
The purpose of my life gave me strength for the fight.
Here I stand in front. I am the supernova.
It begins the story of my life. It’s not over
