Short Overlapping Poems

Sparks of the Divine
Shined hot between yours and mine:
Lips pressed together,
Hips overlapping closer,
Bodies quivered all over....

overlapping titanium sails strike some as scary
Bilbao the first
lately the Disney Widow said i just love being coerced....

Off the cliff,
rocks below,
kiss the ocean
as you go,
high and wide
arc extends,
overlapping
camera lens,
sun flare,
blinding sight,
flash of hope
     and
  endless 
    night....

Never not moving, Aching, Longing, Water lapping, Constant, Overlapping, Intelligent, Breakdown unbearable, Comprehending everything, Impossible, Fail, Start again, Losing, Why wont you end....

Darkness of the night extending
Countless stars far away
Bundles of worry overlapping
Waves of anxiety tangling
A wall clock dinging
The worms bustle and rustle
To join me 
In a lonely and sleepless night...

Silence..
let my glass speak,
bubbles rising,bursting,
snapshots of faces in my mind,
colours overlapping with each other,
first sip,first sin,mom and dad's face
try to peep in my heart,
then vanish like 
bubbles.

Strumming against rooftops 
overlapping gutters 
flooded sidewalks 
summers heat brings intense storm 
trees bow down 
as if to shelter 
the young and old from the storm 
who have dodged fierce heavy drops 
that heaven has sent 
for earth to quench its thirst...

Looking Deeper
By Miracle Man
12/25/2021

A game breaker it’s not,
the outer wrapping.
Inner beauty is stunning,
in someones eyes.
It’s a bonus when the two,
are overlapping,
That’s when we realize,
God’s given us the prize.


True beauty emanates from the heart.

Rain coming for a long time
Changes coming down too soon
I used to run like cobbled stones
Can't seem to carry down the hill
the overlapping branches remain undisturbed

Used to think of Ferris wheels
All neon rides come down,
luminous signposts
Freedoms come a long way down
I need to talk to someone...

be you
free and breezy
like a flower dancing
why do you fear
she was dissecting
stimulus of pain
in receptors of hidden love
overlapping signatures
of past granulations
whom do you fear
break the shackles
she was caressing
the strings of my broken heart
dynamic energy  released
open vast space content...

Lanza Del Relampago,
Feel from the sky on the wings of a crow.
Desiccating the dismayed spring,
And Illuminating.
Me on my cheerless lies,
And darkened eyes.
For evermore it is overlapping in crimson tears,
With an un-blissful joy that no one can bear.
For feelings left unsaid,
Is a sin that no mortal should thread....

Inky bruises smeared
Across papery white arms.
Silver scars overlapping
Rich azure veins.
Crooked bones
Under worn muscles.
Her body,
A canvas,
A book,
Full of stories
And lessons she's learned
And has told to few
And open to you.
Hold carefully,
Speak lightly,
And like an injured bird
She'll sing them all for you....

rough lumber
and 32 inches of 
concrete stabilized cobb
with interior and siding
and rough lumber ends
to make the interior
look like a log cabin
a overlapping roof
with windows centered
16 inches inside
the
rough lumbered walls
a rustic modern
living area
to sheild the
persons from the
ruffs of winter
and the harsh heat
of sumer....

A weekend of solitude in a hotel
standing on the sandy beach
watching sailboats dancing and drifting
in the waves at heels of the harbor
composing a song of island escape
beyond the soothing sunrise
and the gorgeous hibiscus
painting sparkles in the light
like a constellation overlapping in the wind
outpouring a taste of blessings from the heart...

White rain
Tumbling from an ivory sky
Blanketing a pastel slumber
Clouds cushioning night

Silent lucidity
An alter of tranquility
Baptized by rain drops
Caressing virgin skin

Legs overlapping
A fair maiden's rapture
Forbidden from capture
A beauty furled within

A silhouette
Bathed in serenity
A midsummer’s dream
Nestled in winter’s light...

Quills of sharp tips stick
                                           makes difficult to remove
                                                 overlapping scales 

                                            keeps prey under threat
                                              encounter to enemies
                                                 God gifted weapon...

Momentous feats out of ridiculous claims,
the people are right and we should be ashamed
Masking the most important questions,
by overlapping with vile suggestions

Congestion, is filling up the streets
and soon it will flood the halls and fill up their seats

When will they see that we bleed the same?
When we carve our brother's heart out, just to see the stains...

Capacious, my heart 
brimming fervid with emotion
voluminous as the sea

Waves of passion pitching turmoil
in tumultuous storm
launching forward in acrimony

Torn is my emotion
as the torrid winds are blowing
which way am I going?
ever ebbing and flowing
until once again
even and calm

Sound of surf overlapping
white froth on sand slapping 
low tide uncovers me...

People-shaped mists
Lapping, overlapping, floating.
Silent laughter, boxes and candles mingling;
Ribbons winding, curling bows;
The spirit man-designed year of our Lord;
Suddenly ending, suddenly beginning.

Love, lingering like a warm winter cape
In the afterglow of tomorrow,
Fading, drifting, gently, transformed into
A memory, lapping, overlapping, floating away,
Gone....

Everyone you see is the main character of their own story
With their own plots and supporting casts 
Friends are just people with overlapping narratives 
That's why train cars are fascinating to me
The entangling of so many narrative threads 
So many people that i'll never see again
We are a series of rivers 
Thousands of tributaries flowing and converging 
For a single shining moment...

We don't know who steals justice
But we know who steals your heart
Greed steals your heart
And your heart steals justice
At the very beginning
Conspiracy is set 
Unfair rules are set
Overlapping and overlapping
Overrule and overrule
It takes tremendous time and effort
To discard them one by one
Greed is just like cancer 
Which spreads and spreads
A long suffer indeed
Before it's cured...

Hi all, 

A while back, I published a long epic free verse poem about the Samsara. I originally wished to publish it on Poetrysoup, but as I had a specific font and overlapping picture design in mind, it was not possible. Thus, if anyone wishes to view my poem, it is available here for free and in Public Domain:

tapping
      into the eternal
yearning
for
       wholeness
without
boundaries

contemplations
in
a
quest for
            synthesis
                       drawing
whispers

irregular
overlapping
            participations

intermittent
tensions

      fascination
           with the insignificant
conjurations
of the lyrical

stains informel
                      abstracted
the calliagraphic
unformed...

humans are not all inherently the same
each individual is trapped in a room
with one or more unique cognitive windows
and i either have one broken glass window
or a billion overlapping windows with various distorting filters
i don't remember something ever being thrown at my window
from the outside, anyway
but i can't trust what's in this room
They have control; it is Them you see
i've been handcuffed and chained to the wall...

Overlapping occasions
Of experience
My past
Exists
Outside
Of time and space
My future
Exists
Outside too
Of time and space
Most of me
Exists
Outside
Of time
Of space
I am
Just 
A reflection
Of past events
I try
To define
My identity
But than
I have to stop
The flow
And I
Will slip
Wholly
Out of
Space and time
As all things
Material
Need to continue
To flow
To flux
Human becomings
Not 
Human beings...
