Runneth over
Cup yellow, Mellow
A sip
The grip.

A drink or two
Hidden from all eyes
Fooling you....

Ego cups have now been filled

To the point of overflowing

Confidence and power now heightened
 
 Fuel to keep ego’s growing!

A lady who shops at the mall
Bought a bra a wee bit too small
Because she has more
Her cups runneth o'er
The Pride goeth before a fall...

Lims are a-blazin', trying hard to keep up
A-poppin' so fast, ain't nothing will disrupt
This limerick king
Is floundering
Need help to avoid my overflowing cup...

fragile
dainty
a survivor

lithe
light
lovely

she peeks above the grasses
showing her loveliness
an orchid!

I am in love
purple too
my cup runneth over
I gain everything...

They wept into their cups of tears
until they could truly say,
“My cup runneth over.”

—Life Lines by Forrest Church

if your cup is dry, try mine —
            the salty taste of wine borne of grief

Live life to the fullest!

Let your cup runneth over!

Everytime I try to live life to the fullest,
I get so thirsty I drink from my cup.
It never seems to get full enough to runneth over.

Do I HAVE to achieve both?...

Seems like this dude has got all youse guys going
Limericks runneth over and it's growing and growing
We'll rename the group
Call it Limerick Soup
I'm so thankful, my pride is literally overflowing

My cup runneth over
  your chalice half full

The emptiness suspect
  both murky and dull

It shines on the outside
  jewels christened with fire

But to drink from that liquid
  —forever a liar

Decided to rent my heart, known as a happiness loaner
My love of this earth and all things beautiful totally runneth over
With my advancing years, it seems
My love has become more extreme
But please be aware, the heart I offer is really only a loaner...

As the Cup Runneth Over

	           thirst
             dire, immediate
 pleading, despairing, compelling
 newborns, world, pneuma, rivers
    living, assuaging, redeeming
            quenched, blessed
                  wellspring

I am both a robinia
and willow o the wisp
I've prolonged my growth
my roots washed down by the tropical rain
I've counted my loss
no stems on release
Who give me comfort
when the bitter winds runneth
Who will be my confident
for tomorrow's encroaching winds
avoiding tendrils bleak reflections...

Miles apart from the 
lost,stages in ages 
seeketh thy merry in a 
glance......
Victory won in a longest 
losted battle,a stripe 
healeth thee,

Merry days,slavery 
slayed,freedom 
gained,by His blood 
cleaneth we-e...

Mercy  and grace 
runneth from THY 
throne,by His blood our 
sins are no longer 
known... Alass...

The word of God is my pill of life
It keeps me happy, joyful, out of strife
My strength is renewed like the eagle's
I'm free to soar, and live abundantly
My cup runneth over, so I give abundantly
My pill of life is medicine to my bones
It also reminds me, I'm never alone





My pill of Life

Be thankful 
Runneth the water 
Be thankful 
Poetry in our hand
Be thankful 
Spilleth over the waters 
Cool like moss upon our toes
The end 
Of our feat
Be thankful
Walketh our blessed Land 
The end 
Of our feat 
Be thankful 
Beside me sit beside 
Drink my love my friend 
Be thankful 
Life eternal
Never will life end .

IT HAS BEEN ONLY WEEKS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FROM ME
BUT TIME HAS PAST SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY
MISSING THAT WARM SPIRIT THAT WXUDES IN YOU

THE LOVE WE FEEL FOR EACH OTHEROVERFLOWSLIKE A FOUNTAIN
OUR CUP RUNNETH OVER
HE HAS BLESSED ME WITH A TRULY SPECIAL ONE SO LOVINGAND KIND
SO OUR LOVE WILL STAND THROUGH THE TEST OF TIME...

 My love, poured into you, 
'til your cup runneth over.
Traded my heart for your own,
anything and everything, 
for my lover.
Nobody knew my inner storm, 
as I drowned inside of regret.
Nobody knew, I was gone,
No one felt the need to check.
I held on to the knife, 
you watched me bleed,
I never knew 
giving love a chance, 
could easily break me.

I gasp at your crazy pace
You call a life
And make a conscious effort
To keep you at arm’s length
Your cup runneth over
But I won’t let it
Contaminate my lake
I want to keep mine
As serene as I can manage
There’ll be time enough
For craziness
We each have our turn
But for now
I don’t need to get
Wrapped up in
The delusion that is your own

Oh Angelique
yesterday’s hubris
ached my heart
chasing too many Tennessee's.
The swirling colours of red and blue
obscure your Boutique and
midnight finery.
The night after makes
a fool of my outwards intentions
There's a barrack room discipline
ripping up my heart
Blowing hot and cold
your intentions are unbalanced
tis the fool’s tempest of false hope
My cupful is still
far from runneth over

Im tryna find Heaven
I heard it ain't hard to find
but I can't find him
where do I look?
to whom do I go?
I can't speak of his touch
I can't explain the sweetness of his kiss
I can't tell of the intoxicating effect
that caters to my bliss
I must keep it all inside
it fills me up
to the point where
I feel like I wanna die
my cup runneth over
I feel like a fiend
and I can't breathe
I need to find Heaven 
one more time
Heaven please hear me..........
