Short Overrides Poems

Parents crisscross
Love overrides a sullen display-
My mind is not on time...

Poetry as Art

Poetry only
is such when its WHAT
overrides its HOW.

Jumbled means in quite a mess
Just like my mind in distress
Jump says my brain at cliffs edge
Judgement stalls this death I pledge*

laughter overrides melancholy 
when your smile brings about mine
geared for the exigent days
supporting each other
through good and bad times
love in action
essential 
in our
growth

The world is bad,

Cold, hard, bad.

Life is good,

But, not like this.

Evil people doing evil things.

But, the good is not seen,

Because all the bad overrides all good.

So, no one sees the good,

But, the ones who do it.

And that is….

Life itself....

Somedays, the tide only laughs
at the sandbags we put up. 
When the ocean of emotion
breaks with waves above our hearts,
we swim or drown. 

The swell of current overrides
and riptides pull us down. 
Move parallel to shore against the tide
till firmer ground is found. 
Swim.

to define the soul
is beyond comprehension
determining the dimension
on a level you can't understand
why do we surround 
ourselves with animosity
we contempt the equilibrium
in attempt to be individuals
the equivocation
of our nature
abstracts the communication
overrides the originality...

Releasing this stress
It's taking over me
It's taken over me
Gotta get this off my chest
It's weakening me
It's weakened me
Depression overrides
I overwrite
Thinking too much
Thinking too much
Thinking way too much 
Gotta get out my head
Words will express
Release and relieve me
From this stress
But it's taking over me
It's taken over me...

Blackness overrides
Beauty thought eternal 
Poison engulfs
Life believed immortal
The chilling sound
Of the nothingness heard
Screams louder
Than corporate ever could 
All the tears 
Could never wash away
The spill that seeps
Through each moment, each day
For all here know
This oil is bigger
Bigger than us all
This oil spills anger...

Come pay homage to the
Holy Child Lord of all
Royal, majestic 
Incarnate, Prince of Peace
Sacred Redeemer
The Creator 
Master of the universe
Anointed and blessed one
Sent to save mankind

Love, the foundation of our faith
Overrides all manner of sins
Validates the soul
Eternal love reigns

The days become
a battle has won
elated, surprisingly sounded
begun
a war so deep
in the night hours
sleep, now awakened
kneeling, praying
not delaying
Victorious overrides
the will and strength to survive
humbled and meek
rise above
precious genuine love
Victorious.

The joyful hours
Victorious
Moments of silence
A great result ending
A newer beginning
Victorious....

Swirling smoke, coming undone in cool august air,
I'll have an unmarked grave-so long as your lips are my last lair;
A hazy dive deep in trenches of your chest,
closest to your heart-an otherwise impossible quest;
designs worth turning ashes for.
if unscathed, is it even amor?
How my etched footprints are charred-my
only residue, now your breaths marred.
Just brief blazed affairs, where passion overrides prudence, sensibility triumphs senses....

COPLA 106 RESOLUTION : This Bad Guy World

The still centre of independence
Is not inhabited by vacancy :
Inaction voids

Can Love alone ensure existence
In a void and make Bad Guys fancy
No harm overrides

Stand not alone unless you renounce
All the joys of life within your reach :
Dangers approach

Bad Guys derive pleasure from their stance
In damning Good Guys isolated each :
Then they encroach

Productive habitat overrides destruction 
Rousing happens atop ground otherwise reluctant
Entities touching, same faith entertained
Grass burst brave weaves together cracked terrain 

Gaia time turns pages, plot twists threaten pattern 
Arrested in laughter at last season's barren
Nudging sprouts mouth new determined language
Terra pushes Spring, customarily established

We live to absolve the sins of the past.
To assuage the guilt of the hurt we caused.
When appetency overrides wisdom.
How atrocious is the self when centered.
And evils allure tempts the unwary.
When life goes awry and you're all alone.
The anguish of it makes you swear out loud.
Yet difficult times can be auspicious.
With a little luck you can make it big.
If you find the gift hidden in the dark!
