Lims are a-blazin', trying hard to keep up
A-poppin' so fast, ain't nothing will disrupt
This limerick king
Is floundering
Need help to avoid my overflowing cup...

fragile
dainty
a survivor

lithe
light
lovely

she peeks above the grasses
showing her loveliness
an orchid!

I am in love
purple too
my cup runneth over
I gain everything...

They wept into their cups of tears
until they could truly say,
“My cup runneth over.”

—Life Lines by Forrest Church

if your cup is dry, try mine —
            the salty taste of wine borne of grief

Live life to the fullest!

Let your cup runneth over!

Everytime I try to live life to the fullest,
I get so thirsty I drink from my cup.
It never seems to get full enough to runneth over.

Do I HAVE to achieve both?...

My cup runneth over
  your chalice half full

The emptiness suspect
  both murky and dull

It shines on the outside
  jewels christened with fire

But to drink from that liquid
  —forever a liar

As the Cup Runneth Over

	           thirst
             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
            quenched, blessed
                  wellspring

The word of God is my pill of life
It keeps me happy, joyful, out of strife
My strength is renewed like the eagle's
I'm free to soar, and live abundantly
My cup runneth over, so I give abundantly
My pill of life is medicine to my bones
It also reminds me, I'm never alone





My pill of Life

IT HAS BEEN ONLY WEEKS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FROM ME
BUT TIME HAS PAST SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY
MISSING THAT WARM SPIRIT THAT WXUDES IN YOU
HAS MY BODY COLD AND TREMBLING INSIDE
THE LOVE WE FEEL FOR EACH OTHEROVERFLOWSLIKE A FOUNTAIN
OUR CUP RUNNETH OVER
HE HAS BLESSED ME WITH A TRULY SPECIAL ONE SO LOVINGAND KIND
SO OUR LOVE WILL STAND THROUGH THE TEST OF TIME...

 My love, poured into you, 
'til your cup runneth over.
Traded my heart for your own,
anything and everything, 
for my lover.
Nobody knew my inner storm, 
as I drowned inside of regret.
Nobody knew, I was gone,
No one felt the need to check.
I held on to the knife, 
you watched me bleed,
I never knew 
giving love a chance, 
could easily break me.

I gasp at your crazy pace
You call a life
And make a conscious effort
To keep you at arm’s length
Your cup runneth over
But I won’t let it
Contaminate my lake
I want to keep mine
As serene as I can manage
There’ll be time enough
For craziness
We each have our turn
But for now
I don’t need to get
Wrapped up in
The delusion that is your own

Im tryna find Heaven
I heard it ain't hard to find
but I can't find him
where do I look?
to whom do I go?
I can't speak of his touch
I can't explain the sweetness of his kiss
I can't tell of the intoxicating effect
that caters to my bliss
I must keep it all inside
it fills me up
to the point where
I feel like I wanna die
my cup runneth over
I feel like a fiend
and I can't breathe
I need to find Heaven 
one more time
Heaven please hear me..........

I Am Risen
Why do we sorrow?
We chosen?
Sorrow gives way to joy, when belief triumphs in inspiration,
Creative bursts of healing and ecstasy,
My cup runneth over,
Why do we sorrow?
We chosen?
Is it our fate?
There is another way,
The lamb’s yoke is easy and his burden is light,
Joy is the destiny of the prophet,
The cross waits for everyman, but after the cross resurrection triumphs in inspiration,
I am here, I am real, I am risen.  Selah!...
