"overburdening" poems
(seep yourself to leak away)
all reveals are feints;
I take you right
but I am moving left,
always left,
then left again
when I turn the faucet of me on,
brown, rusty pipe water comes out,
never turning clear,
even if the flow
went on for a millennium
someone traveller passerby
reads my excellent explicit illicit words,
with kind sweetness
observes a valid conclusion:
Poems take.a lot out of you
correct+wrong
not take, give
they are the slow seepage
of my overburdening
which is
yes, yes, I know, all relative,
but perspective is a
sometime summer thing,
and all the springtime streets
filled with filthy frozen slush
having come from some rusty water leakage,
never turning clear
no matter how long the street runs away
from you
so you take yourself to give away,
seeping and leaking
ah words;
so useful and so inadequate
crushed petals from the Tree of Life
you ask me If I have read my brother,
the prophet-poet Jeremiah?
*The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?*
*When your words came, I ate them;
they were my joy and my heart's delight*
*Then the Lord reached out his hand unto my mouth and said,
"I have put my words in your mouth."*
these are those words

I just need a closure
A real reason why you came and left
Did you come to carve me deeper ?
Cause all the excavation work has left me hollow
With deep scars and traces of overburdening
Or did you come to me for your benefit ?
Cause now my 'friends' are slowly slithering to you
Or maybe...
You came just for entertainment
And now the movie has ended
And you've left without any comments or suggestions

"Lost" , "Direction" - contradicting?
Of course yes!
Truly depicts her state of mind
constantly asking this or that?
Not sure if things are wrong
or she is deliberately picking up rags
The thoughts are overburdening
and she is buried under the stack
Standing on the edge
this time she wants to jump
and not step back

Your ghost haunts me daily
It looms over my head
Fills me to my feet
Overburdening and overflowing
Melancholic love
Consuming
A smile would give life to an apparition
A moment in your eyes
One moment before the rest
A touch can soothe the burns
A moment lost in caress
One moment before the rest
The spirit fades into memory
And you in its place
I lay down my arms
I prostrate at your feet
My fears laid open before you
One moment before the rest

Yes you’ve lost your mind trying every possible way and sometimes the impossible.
Overburdening me with obstacles in every f* corner but I am indestructible.
Unaffected by your vicious plans untouchable leave me be , is that really so horrible.
Can’t you see the brightness in my eyes or the music in my heart yes remarkable.
And yet you insist to reflect your shallow soul and I will reflect mine unpredictable.
Neither you nor I wanted this but you chose to choke on your own blood bubble.
Take a fist on your sleepy eyes to wake up and remember I warned you uncountable.
Blackness takes control now with open red eyes. Can you see the new me no longer humble.
Right and wrong are difficult to know in this word but I will never be inconsolable.
Eat now my destruction fury and hate till you suffocate till you endlessly mumble
Kiss my indecisive a** crack and in pain tumble. Your heart as mine will crumble.
Me is the ultimate solution. Take a closer look to my soul and problems will be simple
