Though there are a few downsides in my life
The good still outweighs the bad
Love’s never deflated

When the emptiness,
  outweighs the content

The wind,
—forever ceases to blow

Had all wild animals the smarts,
They'd surely know it in their hearts,
That living in the manner mild,
By far outweighs the running wild....

You’ve got heart ill give you that
Any sane person would have given up by now
Not you though
You just cling on like the pain outweighs the prize
But in the end even the hopeful give up
If forced to measure the cup...

*Based on True Events
he chose to be under the moon
where the sunlight couldn’t convince him
that the quiet pounding in his chest
was once hers. His pain outweighs
his fear and he gently nudges the chair
under him. his desolate heart breaks one last time.
his body sways the winter’s night...

shine
on, my
brightest star-
my gold stardust...
for you’re the wonder that holds the sky up

your kindness outweighs all the world’s riches
crave my tame touch
quench my thirst-
you're my...
home.

The internet is humanity’s greatest invention
It connects us all and keeps our attention
It has so much to offer, too many things to list
It is truly, an extraordinary gift

While the internet is not always the greatest
And there are some very dark places
I think that the good outweighs the bad
And for that, I am glad...

With-in the projects
in the desolate graveyard 
cost outweighs the pain 

A facade lingers
his true intentions hidden
their money, now his

Building an empire 
floating along the boardwalk
his kingdom blinding

Willed

Vague sword

Weak heart and sight

Boundless wisdom, although

My soul has full enthusiasm

Body growing old and becoming weak

My resolve outweighs the bullet

Reeled swilled

Billed.

not taken into account 
years spent together 
creating supposedly 
unbreakable bounds 
that were supposed to 
last 
not taken into account 
years of unconditional positive
regard shown 
negativity outweighs 
positivity 
this should not 
be the case 
but unfortunately
this is the reality 
in which we find 
ourselves living in...

We need something

We aren't afraid 
 of

We need something

We can hold onto

All of this 
 life's
   consequence

Weighs heavy
  on the brain

Change is good

But change
 is hard

Necessity outweighs
 comfort

Freedom isn't free
  It takes work

And our last
  breath

Should Always
   
       Be

      Free...

As obvious as the summer’s moon
Full of hope and expectations
Yet clouded with uncertainty 
Sailing on the sea of dreams 
Waiting on the banks of exploration
Teasing time with sore of agitation and pure innocence
Till patience outweighs arrogance 
And the moon ushers in the twilight of hope
Behold, the fruit of the womb
Alas, the dawn of reality...

Tomorrow left abandoned
with every choice I make
Constricting all potential joy
and limiting my fate
Each short term indecision
restricting unrestrained
My future playing out of tune
a timed and dull refrain
Most often I have missed it
when no outweighs a yes
For temporal gain my judgment strained
—an orphan in regress

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)...

The birds are busy and the chipmunk play
For them, it is a fun day
Raindrops fall intermittently on leaves and ground
Acorns bounce in the grass to be found
Only a little yellow of autumn’s color has begun
Still shining wet, without the sun
Even on a dim day, shining things can be seen
Like every caring gesture, that outweighs what’s mean

Even though my body
is filled with pain
In my pain I feel a
praise and a
overwhelming joy
My body may be 
hurting but my soul
is at peace
My joy outweighs 
my pain
I find true happiness
is not in what we have
or how we may feel
Everything we have is 
because of God and
having Christ as my
savior is the greatest 
gift of all...

"s.o.s."
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Sin only shuns
Satan owns society
Stress owns success
Success offers selfishness
Selfishness outshines sight
Sight outweighs spite
Something overwhelms solidarity
Serenity only succeeds
Streaks only sustain
Simplify our situations
Sheep only sleep
Stand only strong
Sacrifice outweighs sovereignty
Supplies omit savoring
Semantics over syntax
Salvation obtains survival...

Just the slightest touch of your strong hand outweighs
      the stress of my days.

For I am your warm blanket, encompass me,
      affection are we.

Fear not all the pain that we’ve had to endure,
      embrace my allure. 

Just the slightest touch of your strong hand outweighs
      the woe life conveys-
      set my heart ablaze.

Killer whales but do they actually kill?
Killer sharks; I have seen Jaws. I am a believer.
Killer bees. I do not want to know.

Killer cats? I can picture them now. Eating the heads off
Like they do with mice and voles.
Killer dogs? 
Are you kidding?
Mine is sitting in my lap.
A Great Dane who outweighs me.
The only way he would kill someone would be if he rolled over on them,
Wanting them to lollygag and play....

Like the heart that got washed away by the sea
Like the blessings shown on us flying away
Lost love crumbles before us which cannot be
The need outweighs the displeasure of each day
But life ceased the unified heartbeat within
Time made these broken links, knocking off our grin
We were once inseparable, but now moved
Like stars in the sky falling, they’re disapproved

Russell Sivey

Based on an old relationship....

If asked, what could I live without?
Love would not make my list – up to
my ears in years of loveless hearts,
cold to the touch, insensitive to the
word...life without love seems deathly
absurd!

In fact, on my scale, compared to each,
love far outweighs even death's unseasoned,
tasteless reach: taking everything while offering
nothing in return – to my mind, the flavors of
love, always worth every risk of terminal 
heartburn.......

I hired a robot
To write poems for me
Now I'm able to rhyme
In modern technology 

Though his imagination
Isn't quite up to par
The relaxation I get
Outweighs it by far

From 0 to 1
To 1 0 1
He likes to write 
In binary bytes for fun

As long as the rhymes
Keep flowing from him
He can have all that is mine
From the head of my pen

If all this goes well
We'll just wait and see
But I might even hire
A robot to read poems for me...

So fragile and so delicate sparkling in the sun this crystal glass with glistening rainbows, left here now are none...

Broken bits with tiny pieces lying on the floor my shiny crystal glass, no rainbows like before...

Sometimes our lives are shattered like the crystal glass I had, but knowing life as we do the good outweighs the bad

So I swept up all the pieces and forgot about the past and with that too I tossed out my pretty piece of glass...

Out across the water
and down around the bend
is a place I've not yet seen
and a shore without an end.

Once you get to that place
just out around that bend,
they'll be another distance
to that shore without an end.

Life is a lot like that
as you're at that certain place.
Reach out at opportunity
and don't give up the chase.

Achieve the goal before you
as the distance you do cross.
And when you reach that shore,
you'll know that gain outweighs the loss....
