Short Supersedes Poems

to be immortal
strange wish for the human race
history repeats
lessons misplaced by culture
still---war supersedes logic

retribution for wrongs,
real or imagined;
ruthless drive for payback,
regardless of outcome;
rancor that supersedes
reason, overriding
rational, moral thoughts...

My wife and I had words but I never got to use mine
Her verbal diarrhea supersedes mine every time
An incessant stream
I wanted to scream
It was like starring in my own pantomime...

Broken hearts
don’t often mend
after first loves are gone.
They simply hang around
sitting on a throne
wearing a crown
called “trophy love”.
Love comes and goes
but first loves
lingers on until the end of time
unless, of course, another love
as strong as the first
supersedes the number one spot....

as strong as the first

Dainty at birth; still quite the same
Admiring life’s wonders; seeking your fame
Unique in your ways; each and every one
Gentle little voices; as warm as the sun
Heartfelt glances, mom is under your spell 
Tender constant touches; knowing you’ll do well 
Emotional and moody; my girls are all of this
Rarity supersedes the shade with an award of eternal bliss...

Go beyond rumour
That seems so true,
Truth does not lie
Yet dismay concedes

Be aware of fear
Cheer cannot stay
For very long here,
Indeed pain supersedes all

Here there is only change
Strange as truth sublime
Pain is not brief
Plight of surplus grief

Vain needs and wants betray
Our common humanity
There is no end
To insidious intent

Forgiveness

N Noting the feelings that cause us concern 
E Evolving, learning the steps that intercede 
S Standards are now highest for your needs
S Standing tall your truest feelings supersedes...

Dance

Yet we didn't fall off
The earth still spherical 
Killing me with magic 
Vibes to show you off 
Should you be cynical 
It's allergic

A move always lasts too
Allow it to flow through your blood
The reverberation supersedes the soul 
Step one,step two
And you are lost to the flood
In soul

The stars can't keep a steady watch
The ground can't hold your feet
The moon can't take your breath 
It's easier if you can match 
As sweet as beet
Like dance for soul-health....
