Energy draining
Hot air is circulated
Life is going slow...

No one is the same 
I wake up hot overheated 
sweat running down cheek...

Freeze
Grapes Green,
if you please,
Separate, clean.
When overheated,
do not be defeated.
{Poetic form of 'Progressive Beat'}...

The heat of the sun 
bears down harshly

then a soothing breeze 
will comfort overheated flesh

providng a respite of coolness
on a scorching day...

Ladies lounged in his light,
fanning the flames of overheated desires.
He, the slick poser, the bad bronco
oiled his parts while he cantered past them,
whipping his buttocks
in a most convincing manner....

Just as I wrote about an unusually cool summer
We get hit with a severe heat wave, whatta bummer
Wilting would describe
Our overheated hide
Serves us right for carrying too much blubber

Naughtiness seems to be the topic that grabs
Especially with all you young overheated lads
Just mention girlie parts
And the quivering starts
And our inhibitions collapse much more than a tad

From my porch
Wrap up with extreme-cold weather clothing
The January sun bathes weakly through the early morning grounds
I seek alone by such astonished far-fat mountain-side
When some dared rabbits at burrow doorway gazing
Like a thief at the overheated clouds!...

giggle
pop bubbles burst
tears drizzle from crinkles
run down overheated rose cheeks
spit sputtering the side wiggler's guffaw
drop rolling to the greening grass
sibling tormentors tryst
belly bubbler 
giggle

(from The John Poems)

Transplant my heart;
I need it no more,
And remove my libido too.
Neither’s required
For this life I live,
Useless as love for you.

Lobotomize
The caring part
Of my overheated brain.
Then proceed to excise
The urge to dream.
I’ll never love again....

Elvis-worm
Eternity comes when you’re out of breath,
breathless paralytic
 your stone deaf,
when the funny stroke is due,
your body melting too,
all part of the deef n deaf,
an overheated you,
is left, the flaccid blue,
Elvis worm the building left,
Bugger, 
No diddle-dum diddly too,
Bereft,
bay-lou…

The cows, they lowed
   The sheep, they bleated
The pigs, they squealed
   Herded together tight, overheated

Squeezed into lines
   Individuality stripped
Indignity's design
   Poked, prodded, whipped

through airport corridors
  lines stretching forever
making tasty hors d'oeuvres
  for blue-uniformed beasts, however......

Paralysed by my surroundings
Enduring the visions you hold
Deep paths burned in all corners
My brain is a multi track mind
Anxious in sleep, beating fast
Thoughts all eratic and twisted
No sense a numbness no flight
My body wrapped in your web
Struggling to escape this fight
My body overheated and sweaty
Suddenly awake - such a fright!...

Searching every photo.
Analyzing every word.
Looking for some reminder of the life we once had.
I know that we will never find our way back,
  and there is nothing that looks like you in the life I have now.
My wine dreams and 
  overheated prophecies are wearing thin.
And my life has become a dinosaur of love and where we lived before.
I will stay there.
I will live here.
I will not speak your name,
  when the sun goes down....

Sun red hot like an overheated stove
Cracking the ground for twenty-seven days
Tall corn suffers from a failure to throve
Nature sometimes has nefarious ways
Setting yonder field of soy bean ablaze
The garden has become a toasted crust
Of shriveled up beans pods and silky dust
All hope has disappeared for this year’s crop
Next year it will be better, we must trust
For nearly a month there’s nary a drop.

The children are jumping in the leaves
Last Autumn frolics before the cold
They’ve rolled up their long sleeves,
Overheated, they are sweaty, I’m told
Covered with leaves, brown and gold.

The coming rain will create a soggy pile
No longer suitable for fun and game
Children will prefer to dance with style,
Indoors, until they are tired and lame,
Preferring to watch the fireplace aflame.

The Shining Lights through window pane
Arching spectacle brilliancy
Capitalization overheated Exchange
Brightly shines the Sun
Arching spectacle brilliancy 
Orbital glimpse of spiraling Lights
Brightly shines the Sun
Ever so shines ever so bright
Orbital glimpse of spiraling lights
Capitalizing overheated Exchange
Eversole shiny ever so bright
Shining Lights through the window pane

Indulge in juicy strawberry stars 
let that sugar soften your tongue;
The taste of Summer when it's cold 
you visualize the bright Moon of June;

Let that sugar soften your tongue 
that lazy grin will warm you up;
Frayed tank top replaces your hoodie;

The taste of Summer when it's cold;
Suddenly overheated and sweating
happy taste buds steal the season;

You visualize the bright Moon of June
splashing in the shallows of the sea,
a ripe time for something sweet....

Our conversations come so easy
a laugh here, a plot there
an innocent table falling victim
to our overheated exchanges.

We had 10 lessons to learn,
needing them to settle deep inside.
9 months to forgive myself
for the 8 months I squandered.

What a joy to watch the shy one
share 7 salacious secrets
and our brave ones change
their world with 6 simple words.

Times change, 5 becomes 4
then it will be 3
and we will be back at the start.
Now 2 days a week
I'll wish for a lunch plus 1....

The road is sluggish,
trucks burn the sky,
the sun roasts the blacktop.
We crawl out of one place
only to meander and inch
into another melting byway.

I count hawks and buzzards,
play the same music track
over and over again.
The air-con blasts
as we tinker with the time
we have left
before we can reach
that cube of ice 
inside a cold margarita.

First though
we have to pour ourselves
out of a wilting car
away from the combustible
fumes of all these
overheated thoughts....
