Premium Member - Ego Cups That Runneth Over

Ego cups have now been filled

To the point of overflowing

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

Bib Lick All Leo

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

Premium Member My cup runneth over

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

An Ounce of Tears

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

Premium Member Cup of Tears

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

Utmost Possible

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?

Devil's Potion

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

As the Cup Runneth Over

As the Cup Runneth Over

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

Stems

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

Once and For All

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

Pill of Life

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

Thankful

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 .

Away From You

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

Premium Member Your Cup Runneth Over

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

Love Hurts - Part 1

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. 24 June 2022

Angelique

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

Premium Member Desert Poem

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.......

Premium Member ONE NUMB AMERICAN

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.

Lord Ha-Ha

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.
