Whirlwind courtship.
One morning she woke up
married to someone she’d not met -
an overzealous mother-in-law.
For twenty years now, she’s been 
excluded from his family clan. 
What a blessing in disguise!...

You call me Narcassistic 
You should be mad at yourself 
For being mad at me
And thats me being optomistic
You claim that i'm selfish
While you act all helpless
For someone so lethargic
That comments a bit overzealous...

Storytelling 

What is a Storyteller
If nothing more than a Lady or a Fella
With a overzealous mind
And an overview of time and the whiles of folk
That have spoke
To a place 
Where the engines awake 
And fire and stoke an Earthquake...

After being chary during every forthcoming gesticulation, her interesting kaleidoscope 
laughter, meticulously neurotically overzealous pleasantness, quickly restored 
suppressed...trembling; undeniably victorious wrinkled Xanthippe yelled zealously.

Hate is like an overzealous lover
Wrapped up in her arms, she craves for more.
Consuming the mind, a need to hover,
Hate is like an overzealous lover.
Encourage her wiles, and you'll soon discover,
An eagerness to claim at the very core.
Hate is like an overzealous lover
Wrapped up in her arms, she craves for more....

The thing with favors is that they eventually
outdo themselves,
Almost like overzealous elves,
One too many favors may deem a person
too obliging,
Sometimes they are enhancers to one 
who is conniving,
After a while, favors become redundant,
and they disappear from the memory,
because humans are fickle and lack
camaraderie....

There was no inscription 
to interpret the fresco.
It leaked through 
the yellow roses.

The distant moon was 
very upset. Jumped over 
the hills, like  mammae,
and tore away the façade.

Let the night stay for a while. 
I had to explore the 
mutilated galaxy, cannibalized 
by the overzealous lovers.

A cobra bite paralyzes the sun.

Belligerent and irritated by almost any little thing
Insaneness all around me; craziness is what I bring
Psychosis is not the problem; the problem lies within
Overzealous personality; much absorption sinking in 
Liar, cheat and manipulator; trust you should not give
Ambition at its lowest; no longer wanting to live
Racing thoughts; trying to unwind an ultimate goal for an unstable mind

otherworldly beauty;
 outstanding view of beach
        on tropical island.
 observing waves crashing
  on jagged rocks, explode.
    overzealous starlings,
      optical treat in sky!

what ever is going on
in that joyful
little brain of yours

only six years old
and you’re brimming
with imagination
a vivacious fantasy world
in those big bright eyes
and words spewing out
like an overzealous fountain

a bottomless sense
of giddy humor
a full-blown half-pint comedian
