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
Cup runneth over; chalice of sorrow
Drowning in each sip I take,
Fighting for one last breath.

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
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
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
Decided to rent out my heart, I'm known as a happiness loaner
My love of this earth and all things beautiful do totally runneth over
With my advancing years it seems
My love has become more extreme
But please be aware the heart that 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
Decided to rent out my heart, I'm known as a happiness loaner
My love of this earth and all things beautiful do totally runneth over
With my advancing years it seems
My love has become more extreme
But please be aware the heart that I offer is really only a loaner

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
HAS MY BODY COLD AND TREMBLING INSIDE
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
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
AP: 2nd place 2020
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.

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
Desert Poem
Always chasing the wind
Sweet sound soothing violin
Air dry, subdued quiet room
Poetic drift embrace gloom
Paper waits, ideas bend
Wrinkled clouds ascended
Just a small black desk
Embrace silent voices isolated
Mind runneth off the deep end
Desert poem heat index
Quench a poetic journey
Nightly shadows with creative scenery
No validation
Posted stamp flies freely

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.......
My emotions runneth over.
I wish to be rendered numb.
My depleted feel capacity
is disabled for more to come.
Current news and social media
triggered my emotional anemia.
Riots and division,
disconcerting tension,
a clustered decay mission
lacking fruitful intentions
swells dubious ambitions.
No more can I watch or listen.
I love my home country,
I love my fellow man -
thus I pray current upset
finds positive space to land.
Blessed be the name of Lord Ha-Ha.
I worship at the altar of Ha-Ha.
In his blood I am washed.
In his raiment I am clothed.
In his breastplate I will conquer
And in his name I will trust.
The honor of his blessing I will seek.
The grace of his presence I will covet.
He leads me to channel 60
He splitteth my sides.
My cups runneth over with mammary juice.
The fruit of his womb is as ambrosia
And I will dwell in the house of Ha-Ha forever.
