Magically settles nerves.
Sounds all the slower.
Feelings slowly overtake
My innermost mind's own core.

A rainbow suddenly appeared
It shined so bright that its
Colors called out to the world
Warning of possible danger
That could destroy or
Overtake the world

their description is so hard
they bleed just the same
people pray for both
yet war and hate overtake
they bleed just the same

It's when I was about to overtake her
I thought I'd give up.
Within my second reflection, I decided
Man? Woman?
Both of us are humans
Let her fight like me too.

When I heard that the first would be last,
I was so completely aghast
that I slammed on my brake
and let those behind me overtake
my future, as I slipped into their past.

Yellow fire hazards blemish the lawn,
prickly to bare summer feet.
Locusts overtake the heat.
Aphids feast and continue to spawn,
yet still remain strawberries to eat.

Friendship for a start is tremendous, I guess,
In awe as your countenance encapsulate comeliness.
Today might be bright, but I didn't come with torch ??.
I came with something brighter ??

Uncertain times, as fear will overtake
More dangerous than 1918, the last great outbreak
This seems different
Causing bewilderment
What will be left of the world in it's wake

My mind is cloudy
And seeming to tighten
Flashes if anguish
Pain, torment and loss
Overtake my life
Nothing is easy
Not even Denial
Must push through this
Through the blockade of indifference

sweet Honeysuckle
curls about the fence, reaching
out to the roses
Wanting to cradle their blooms
in a gentle vine embrace
Inspired by the honeysuckle on my backyard gate and the roses it tries to overtake

beyond rhyme and reason
I loved him
not from the first second
that we met
but soon after
I tried hard
not to fall
but the feelings overtake
all thoughts
are of him
my heart
beating a song
of love
unrequited

Verse
I drove onto a motorway,
70 mph middle of the road me,
Middle lane,
Overtake only when necessary,
Then on the otherside,
Slapping his huge stomach and laughing,
Was Sulaman the magnificent,
Fleeced on either side by elephants.

SUNSET DOG
My dog went out today
Over the hills and far away
He went as fast as he could run
To overtake the setting sun
The sky grew darker
And scared that barker
Until he finally stopped and rested
And realized that he’d been bested

Countless surfers engulf the sea
A feeling of peace overtake me
Lots of love and placidity
Overfill the vicinity
People accumalate in all degree
From the rich and famous
To the poor and nameless
Life to me is a cool ocean breeze
Accompanied by harmony

Ever read the superior verse of the gurus?
For this prepare anon before it be too late,
Or they overtake you the wheels of fate;
A guru rehearses behind the translucent curtains
Till its fully baked the dough of verse;
Will you miss this gala, so monstrous?

river,
flow by my feet~
as waters of my mind
do overtake and wet the page
and droplets step-dance to create, backstage.
for manufactured, processed verse
could never pulse with life,
the rhythm of a
river.

Wondrous warm wishes
Bountiful birthday blessings*
God's gracious great grants.
*Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Colors overtake me one by one,
as they fuse within my mind
To paint their ancient messages,
prismatic and sublime
The past is but enigma,
tomorrow still a dream
This moment’s image all that lasts
—in constancy redeemed

L Little hearts romanticize all literature.
O Ordinary people fall into it with joy.
V Very intense new feelings overtake our brains,
E Everyone hopes for their own partner girl or boy.

Intersection of
Overwhelmed & Exhausted
A decision to make
Venture out onto that
Autobahn of Freeways
Shake & Bake
Wide Awake & Overtake...
Turn the other way
Crash & Burn
Maddening price to pay
Yet ~
Overwhelmed & Exhausted
A DECISION to make

OF LOVE
The lover's tongue
Grows a bouquet of pregnant words,
That proclaims momentary eternity.
The inflamed heart races fast
Like hundred frightened footsteps
To overtake time and impel it.
Love plays with time, beyond time.
Love carries the cross of goodness,
And fills the void of understanding!

Let slumber overtake thee
And pleasant dreams ignite thee
For a moment in the dark
Is but a blink of an eye in the realm of beauteous dream
Take flight as you sleep
And do not fear for the future
For there is more love than what meets the eye
And it will bind all worry and pain
With the soft rains of many a dream

“In a rundown, the runner is in a pickle that could become a rhubarb.” ~ by poet
Rundown.
He's trapped between
bases being pursued
by the fielders who glibly smile
because they know they have the advantage,
to perhaps overtake and tag
the beleaguered runner,
to foil the run.
Rundown.
