It's Changing Again

It’s changing again.
The world is shifting.
Twisting around new centres.
Both fixed and moving.
Worlds overlap.
Lives intertwine.
And I watch.
Alone.

Snapshot

Like snapshots our memories are
Fleeting only in seconds passing 
Rewind to double expose and overlap
Attempts to organize and remember
Flashes by at the end

Premium Member Some Days Are Crap

Some days are diamonds, some days are pure crap Jury's out, today could go either way, could overlap Those days cause friction Tween reality and fiction I'm confused enough without adding to my handicap

With My Eyes Scene of HORIZONS

Envisioned eyes watch the horizon;
Tunnel vision cross the skies;
Sun and Moon beams overlap;
As the rays soars cross blacken skies

Premium Member Zipper

Zigzag threads overlap
  Zip zap tracker aligns
      Zesty and shiny, too
          Zings along the backside 
      Zany patterns excite
   Zazzy razzle dazzle
Zenith night on the town.

Premium Member In Circles

seasons 
         overlap
elements
      promise much
but 
    nothing happens
sunrise
        unfolds..
a gentle
       ease
awaits the day..
expectations
          rise
then fossilized
derided,
forgotten..
     until
         next time
Form: Verse

Unparalleled

Like parallel lines run together
they never meet if they run forever
on different roads but side by side
lest in life they coincide
if they intersect they combine
they overlap and entwine
for it is how our twin souls run
how two souls turned to be ONE...

Preference Change

preference change
vantage point moves
perspective shift 
experience alters 
years overlap
within this existence 
glass half full turns into 
glass half empty at times 
dependent upon mind 
set at the time of occurrence 
dependent upon the maturity 
level of the present state of being
age

Premium Member Shadow Lovers

Could it be love when shadows overlap
Their beings blending, doubling to dark
Embracing tiled or terra cotta floor
Sliding silently as silhouettes of shame
Clinging to the still forbidden touch
Relishing the fevered heat of light
Cast upon this desperate aching need
To meld - a two so lonely - into one

Premium Member Slivers of Laughter

By Gail DeBole
Updated January 13, 2019

Thin shards of time spattered about 
Mis-wedged into spaces that add to our doubt.

Echoes of time vex and puzzle our souls
May overlap boundaries with science unknown.

Slivers of a girl’s laughter with no girl around
Sound disturbingly eerie and deeply profound.

Premium Member Waiting

I am waiting
for when it’s all over 
so that I can 
start all over again 
it’s a cycle

sometimes 
there is a space 
with a period of rest

sometimes
the all overs
overlap

sometimes 
the all overs 
are all over

I have faith
that
at some point 
the all over
might be 
all over
and there will be a space

Sun Loves the Moon

he glances back constantly, knowing all hands turn by degrees, they overlap, in the openings and gaps like fingers of a tree, he yearns to see what shape she'll become.

all hands point in the same direction, and the space between is what they share, 'as long as we remember' lies destiny, 'love lasts forever', a guarantee -

Premium Member Winds of Yesterday

  
                  Winds of yesterday blow vainly
                     in futile pursuit of today

                  What once ignited our several passions  
                     this day swiftly drives us away

                   Torn asunder by a thunderclap
                      hearts riven never again overlap

Party

Alone in a crowded room
Encased in a bubble
They move around me
Like water, past a stone. 

An overlap of traits
Each pleasant in isolation
Compounded and compressed
Into dark stillness

Practiced movements 
A very convincing smile
An anecdote of sport 
Try not to drink too much

The merry ritual
For everyone but me

Eye of Light

The Eye of Light,
Surrounding a little piece of Darkness.
Light trying to overlap the Darkness,
but one cannot exist without the other.
If the Darkness is gone forever,
the light will be the dominate force in the world,
The world will be imbalanced.
The Darkness is gone,	
The Light is taking over.
Darkness disappears,
Light dominates.

Longing

He sends her love cards and shopping vouchers
every weekends – hugs and kisses sent
in words and luxuries.
Her heart gets hungrier as the calendar
leaves overlap each other. She misses how
it feels like to be loved -the warm touch, kiss of lips,
doing things together, and getting lost together.
She misses the one who feeds her heart…..

Junkyard

Picture a junkyard in your mind
a weed infested field covered with rusting hulls
that once were dear
to someone
some met with violent ends
wrecked in the prime of their lives
others were simply cast aside
no longer needed
or wanted
superimpose a homeless shelter
over the scene of the junkyard
how strange
they overlap and become
the same

Wandering Weed

I'm feeling quite finicky today;
Perhaps a bit deranged.
Are those people gawking at me?
Have I been re-arranged?

I'm feeling like a vagabond;
Whose been left out in the rain.
This young punk is just daring me
To overlap my pain.

Good thing I'm not the big, bad boss;
I'd fire the whole damn planet!
Find God's hidden Garden of Eden
And go ahead and re-plant it.

Donna's prismatic eyes

                                       Overlap like dubious codfish
                                   staring at the hollow pennycress

Premium Member Prime Rises

The engorged sky billows,
a monochromatic delight 
of soft tones ...
a lullaby 
of tissue paper edges
fragile as a primrose.

The bashful sun blushes
sending pastel light through notes
of grey to white
soft, velveteen. 
harmonies overlap 
shadow less, spiritual.

Ah, the sweet octaves
of visual light defrayed by motes
of earthly ash
upon the sky
bring such joy to mankind 
fragile as a primrose.

Premium Member Decomposure

The gray granite outcroppings loom
masticated mountains blasted yet brazen.
Their jagged ledges and softer heights
topped with rust brown and burnt orange maples.
Fog distances them 
 softens them 
as they seem to overlap
Recede ..into semi transparent wash
like the edges of a tissue paper collage.
Each layer 	seeming to de compose
into the next    each symmetrically
more exquisite than the next…

Premium Member - I Am Green And Smell Good -


Through many generations
Roots have forged strong bonds
that overlap each other deep in the earth

I am the oldest,
not untouched by the outside world
beauty and decay

Mixed with nostalgia and lush forest
children's play and laughter
When I look back
in slightly blurry images

No echo in the forest anymore
silence reigns
The city is growing faster than my family
the crystal ball cannot predict the future
