Wondrous to be alive
Grateful for God's grace
Surmounted by His love

Self-flagellated sinuses
Sandpaper swallowing
Sinuous snot surmounted sneezes
Strange sultry speech sounds sexy
Stupid sickness
Saturdays should be savored....

linear constellations
publish prophecies
bereft of precision
birthing brand new eyes
like boomerangs they oscillate
across nimble currents
though once momentum surmounted
factualism had begun to trickle...

Complete Things

Complete Things on himself had always counted;
When the size of them all combined surmounted;
Then on it dawned;
Belief way beyond;
Committed with a courage which was undaunted.

Driving moods into just moments,
Fading like leaves and
falling like mist,
I am just surmounted by ice.
Trying to cope but I can't, 
Hey! Barvo... You need to..,
This world is so, filled with fakeness and
I am the victim.

Glorious human race!

Monstrous machines 
unto globe thou place.

Surpassed grandeur, 
overwhelmed with grace;

Heaven's territories 
thou subdue 'nd embrace;

Surmounted all mysteries, 
summits and space.

Yet, thy mightiness, 
perfection never pace;

Tiniest Coronavirus, 
fail thou to face!...

I’m surmounted by 
age-old anxiety,
and bright dreams of 
laying under a stone
to mark my place among 
people on every side of me,
worm-eaten and absolutely alone.

I move through the days 
in chains of nostalgic tragedy,
with new reasons to bury
beneath the old oaks
with wounded flesh and 
all of the things that madden me,
a heavy heart, and a vessel
that has to go....

The ragged precipice surmounted,
he stands, leaning forward, looking down
into nature's yawning rictus—
pondering flight without wings.

Restlessness in being,
he’s come unhinged in time
whose moments intertwine,
leaving him indifferent to his age.

Neither older than yesterday
nor younger than tomorrow,
life's review passes. Reaching out his arms,
he jumps...and simply floats away....

A beautiful ring 
with a distinctive design
two hands clasping a heart
which is surmounted by a crown
two souls joining hands in friendship
both hold a loving heart within
strengthened by steadfast loyalty
these remarkable traits 
transcend generations 
and the limits of borders
a very old tradition worth noting
especially during the times
of fading moralities

Nothing left to fear,
 it seems that everything fades and disappears,
 money, love and everything between
 slips through time unmeasured scenes.

Gone away the simplicity of days
 when life was so easily played
 and all experiences once counted 
 slipped into the past surmounted.

Nothing left in life's wear and tear 
 as meaning and importance are not spared
 from the actions forgotten and recalled
 when memory is lost in time's fall....

PRECARIOUS REALITY

insistent
    incoherence
deplaced
   broken
 as    coloured
 confetti

surmounted
pierces
  the soul
with anguish
&
rehearses
   nothing


THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

Angst of ascending
oh, stairs pose beckoning woes
once easily surmounted…

...Missing youthful* zest
ah, I still climb by God’s strength
midst soaring faith legacy.

*Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
