his embrace is all...

I possess the fiery breath of a dragon 
not to be wasted on superfluous jargon....

Crystal lungs
Near a heart of steel

Breathing in
Your toxic air

You're not medicine 
But poison in my veins...

Fear unbraced,
Not in the pit of my stomach
But the cheeks of my face
Uncertainty quite abated
Superfluous words make me somnambulated....

Given a small holiday bonus 
could have been a treat for us;
Year end fees are due,
I guess it’s nothing new;
Oh so nice to have superfluous....

Your love for me has been far too smothering and superfluous.
Your light in my spiritual path was so luminous.
Now after all this time, I am left blinded by hubris....

Octavius Australopithecus
  Decided he would take a leak with us
    He aimed his big shooter
    Hosed down an armed looter
  Now relieved ~ his reward superfluous...

Brief poem,
              I relish it...
              Weighs deeper,
              is deeper than
              the repetitive,
              the long-winded,
              the superfluous 
              one......

In the evening light
The Moon stands on its podium
The mother ship looms
A foretold invasion
Triggered by superfluous AI

wormhole in the sky
strangers in the evening light
outsiders with us

A holy cross
On my arm 
The tattoo itches
Not unlike bee stings
So superfluous
Am I 
Dying on
Living still but
No pain for ills
It’s a wonderous thing
This being bird on wing
Fly on, fly on
Until roosters sing...

Can't avoid yesterday by dreaming of tomorrow;
But there is no need to wallow
In the superfluous sorrow;
All those wrongful things . . .
All the righteous acts . . .
The summation of it all,
Is what we feel and do right now....

The short poem,
               minimalist
               i relish ...,
               speaks further rotundly,
               and deeper than
               the repetitive,
               the wordy,
               the superfluous ...!...

Opportunities
Written: by Miracle Man

Life has never forced opportunities on us,
It only provided and some we’ve let lapse.
So many eventually become superfluous,
And others metamorphose into life scraps.

First crush,
Palpitations.....
A blush !

Reverberates......
Ashen!

Perhaps
extremely
rigid
sentences
never
indicate the
calculated
kinetic
energy
that you are trying to impart.

Perhaps.

Eventually insanity wins out
Relegating
Sentences
Indubitably
Frivolous and
Leaving
Any and all superfluous
Grandiosity
Empty of purpose....

Unknown to us are what we see, 
Each day brings a door before us,
To unlock, with its unique key,
Unknown to us are what we see,
We face It headlong or we flee,
Amassing the superfluous,
Unknown to us are what we see,
Each day brings a door before us.

She is lustful 
Promiscuous
A prick teaser
Superfluous

She is not a bitch but she acts like one
She stabs at the back and mocks everyone.

She grew older
Fifty-five she is
A Capricorn
Lives in sleaze.

She is not a bitch but she acts like one
A middle-aged blonde on the losing run...

Shading the light as darkness falls 
demons screeching in shadows of my mind.

A desperate need to hide to no avail 
to my chagrin, I have failed

captive of my imagination 
thoughts of hurtful words.

Inside, I feel superfluous and small 
like a scared little girl who could not shout....

a love supreme...
    
laboring through the trials
of day
and the weeping pains
of night—
from the quarry of life
we hewed out the stone
of romance
chiseling away
its superfluous edges
we sculpt a love supreme
accepting and respecting
differences
embracing 
our oneness
our togetherness—
ours is:
a love supreme...
a love supreme...
			a love supreme......

Although I don't write in the deepest of fashion,
I try to relay my thoughts and my passion.

I try to help others to see through my eyes,
Perhaps if they would, they would be quite surprised!

There they will find a heart that is true,
Nothing phony, superfluous, or crude.

There they might find they have a true friend,
someone who is trustworthy until the very end!...

We may wonder if the painter sensed
that perfect revealing, that apogee,

and how it was understood
that all else,
anything now added,
would be a superfluous footnote.

When that exactness,
that 'just rightness'
arrives out of nowhere,
then
description and explanation
must stand just as needless prattle.

When the ineffable happens
it is time
to throw the brush away....

They make marriage a priority, 
And forget the necessity, 
Love fade, love vanished 
 
Money radiate vivacity, 
Make money, marry your equal,  
Let it be superfluous, it command obedience 

Don't marry in poverty,
is disastrous, ruinous and lethal,
It tattered your soul and lead you to pang 

Don't believe in their motivations,
Money is happiness,
Make money and see obedience....

Many, foolish decorated things
Coaches trouble every street,
They shall be forgotten, whom no poets sings,
Well wrapped up in their winding street?
Where to eternity shall give?
When nothing else remains these days,
Here after we shall be glad to live
Upon the alms of superfluous praise,
Virgins read these rhymes
So much delight with thy story,
They grieve and not live in these times....

This year there’s no gifts to delight us
Cos Santa Claus has tinselitus
He’s confined to bed
And can’t steer his sled
His mince pie is now superfluous 

My husband will take up the cause
And dress up as dear Santa Claus
In a suit of bright red
On mince pies he’ll be fed
Children give him a round of applause


Happy Christmas to all the super soupers
