"overjoy" poems
Waves of sadness as you wave in my direction. I see you go, I watch you leave. Just as the seasons appear and dispose of me. We take turns walking away, from people we never talked to. Wondering why it hurts the same. Hating that it hurts as all of these people go. Sudden realisation hit us one by one. As we wonder, and walk, and wonder around all the topics we may have avoided. The thoughts we’re apparently devoid of. Introspect, retrospect, dissect ourselves in this critical moment. Nostalgia knocking us over making us think and making us feel, for once. A remarkable feat, it must be applauded. Ovation, overjoy, overwhelm. Over this. Over them. Over it. Time moving so agonisingly slowly, wishing away the years. Needing to escape, yet wanting to eternalise the way they make me feel. Nothing lasts forever. Maybe you should’ve, yet you didn’t. Now you’re all that’s left tell me how it feels. It doesn’t feel good, it doesn’t even seem right. Yet it’s a must and a miss you. The question has to be asked: why are you crying now? After all these months, why are you letting it hit now? Stay strong, be strong, be you. Be fearless and young. The golden years fade away into shades of blue and black skies. I wish you all well, and a happy birthday. Get well soon, get there soon. It’s all getting to me too soon. It’s too soon. How are we already here? We were all the way over there yesterday. Faces flash and second pass by with smiles. Frowning back, the question must be asked, why are you so sad?

Head a hostile environment again
Emotion overthrows intelligence
Fragile skull accepts another beating
and indecency becomes preference
Absorbing black into gray matter
Meticulous infiltration;
Makes death a desire
and living a fear
Friendly fire
Mind battles disease, disease
obliterates mind to violence
collided with sharpened corners of myself
****** mess, wrong message
Swallowing hostile heavy medications,
contain my elation so that overjoy
doesn't morph into mania, or joy
Mass of electrons now inside
find nothing positive; thought paralyzed
Deviating cells that scare themselves
from the darkened sanguinary state.
wide eyed faces searching for a homeostasis
Far from stable since demon's rule
Constant epiphanies with no execution
turn to facts filed in brain catalogs
Fully aware solutions are there,
but the drawers are glued shut

You bring me tears of joy
and tears of sadness,
but old memories is something I will always enjoy.
We are sorry for being reckless.
I would not feel this emptiness,
If only I were not acting coy.
Losing you made me feel worthless,
but we promise that, one day, you will smile with overjoy.

here is the tablet take two
round yellow yum yum pearl delicious
always home to take my fix
swallow it down with water spit
***** lethal anyway
I’d shoot it up if I could
the sound of the orange sea
almost two years are measured
pill bottles collected in the drawer
mama said mama says mama will say
another habit she wants me to kick
I wouldn’t take it if I could
my lines are broken
my hands shake
my blood doesn’t coagulate
all to stop Kitty from coming around again
her cycles my cycles our cycles of overjoy and despair
fire and brimstone and eat me up so tired of being tired
whatever is left of me only me is there
fits in a tiny bottle like ashes like pills
like lethal overspent energy like fission
Kitty the mushroom cloud monster
elements which don’t mix well on the orange sea
daddy said that its my brain
biochemical broken reception
spinning and spiraling into oblivion

I shall Love each of you Forever and ever.
For you are beautifully created by our Creator.
I have been Blessed by our conversions we had.
I am so Overjoy, by your poetry that I read daily.
For he has created us to Love one another here too.
To fellowship with one another in this here Life too.
Which is what we do here when we share our hearts desires.
We open up to other people on how we feel and Love.
So I am very thankful to have met each of you here on HP.

I walk unseen through the
Shadows of my mind's capital.
Lurking, listening. Hearing
My heart talk in its sleep.
Searching the forbidden streets
And dark city parks within me.
I have no joy; only overjoy in
Sight. Somewhere inside is an
Enemy. Someone to fight. I'm
Meeting myself in the ring tonight.
This is you and me. This is therapy.
I have shot everything else that
Moved. Now meet me man to man.
Should be a close enough fight.

L is for life that just started
O is for overjoy to see thy spouse
V is for value to see thy heart
E is for everything that happens
Now that is love for the broken hearted
Though there is more loved than broken than we still have bigger hearts
When we decide to show them what we hate about ourselves
And they end up telling us that's what they love about us
L is for the Listeners in the world
O is for trying not to Oversight your looks
V is for being Valiant for your protection
E is for this moment being Everlasting in someone's eyes
Now that's what the lovers think of their spouse
They want to protect them in any way
Their favorite person that's falling apart is not what they want
They want them to sit with them on the couch under the blankets
Looking like sushi rolls with popcorn in their laps laughing with each other
Watching a comedian of their spouses choose and end up sleeping on the couch.
And will understand what they say because they need someone to speak to.
L that's what it means
O that's what it feels
V that's what it senses
E that's what it supposed to be

I’m a fool
My craziness is spilling
A page catching the words
Forever falling
Out of my head
Overjoy or overreact
Lean because I lack
