"overlaps" poems
I do not believe in fairytales, so be straight, Experience was present, and it's worth the faith. I do not want to rely, on repeating hopes in oblivion, If promises were prayers, I don't have religion. Continuing is just a self-detonation, prolonging the agony, blaming myself, living life hard sadly. I am seeing the inequality, on every angle and scopes, sometimes I am thinking hanging my neck on the ropes. and as I blame, negative tendency, occurs. comes, sudden, unexpectedly. but, when I see you, negativity's gone, my inspiration's overflowing, keeps me away from frown. but, when I see you, my depth dissapears, and all of a sudden, I want to lend an ear, but, when I'm with you, my heart skips a beat, I step out of my seriousness, in your cup, I sitdown and take a sip, but, when I'm with you, I want to listen I want to know you further, overlaps, to what they're just seeing, to hear every stories told, with your cheerful voice, your warmth, that caresses my body, builds up my poise, transcends a choice, to be happy or not, I forget all my worries, and say I'm a little pessimist, but ..I am looking forward, to stay this way, for as long, as we both can, complete our days.

Positivity
A Cimmerian hue overlaps The thoughts encroaching my psyche They seem to harvest labyrinthine symmetries Of which I covet It matters not the appositeness The unidentified may bear For by passages of valor I transcend

****** Scream3
is it really so crazy me wanting you & your baby? i mean, is this reality? the magnificence lost is sad to me... i know not to blame now i get no where that way but somehow i take responsibility for how my actions shook you into leaving what did i expect, yo... our feelings is all we individually know i mean, ican see how you MIGHT feel from this end i pray one day you might heal And i pray you reconsider too that love overlaps me; a ***** into your boo with you, i'll never let go of how i feel because that brings me to a special place which gives my soul its seal I'm keeping it And a cold shoulder to anyone who threatens it i am good alone i suppose but with you it is when I feel i am whole Peace Love

Feelings
There's a hole. What seems like a minuscule hole in my suit jacket. Right at the seam, where it overlaps with my jeans. It's there because of the idiocy, the complacancy, the moronicy, of a girl I used to be. The girl everyone wanted me to be. As she ran away from life, because the man I was meant to be told her she was a freak. Now when it first appeared, I thought it was a gaping chasm. One that could never be filled. But I fixed it, as I came to terms with being her, and he. There's a hole. What seemed like a minuscule hole in my heart. Right in the center, where it puts love into the rest of me. It's there because of the carelessness, the idle hands, the love struck glances, of the girl I thought she would be to me. As she played with my heart because I was too weak to see otherwise. Now, when it first appeared, I thought it to be a gaping chasm. One that could never be filled. But I fixed it, as I came to terms with her being her and me being me. There was a hole. What seemed like a minuscule hole in my life. Taking over my world, absorbing all light making me terribly unhappy. It was there because depression was a beast, a monster, a thief. Stealing every bit of smile I had left in me. But only because I didn't know I had another option. Now, when it first appeared, I thought it to be a gaping chasm. One that could never be filled. But I fixed it, as You walked through the door and into my arms.

The Hole
Attires of a closer regime, Closed in on the muddling assets of a light, Flickering. On a dead end street, Through a meandering There’s an eventful animus. Past eleven, P.M. “To lobby is to redeem, Apparently(!) For I sin and repeatedly sin.” Only by 1 and only through one Single flock of wind-blown sediment, man acknowledges life and It’s dreadful stripe, Laid upon a landscape; Full of faux images of random schemes. Well, there the ongoingness goes Of moments that are no way chronologic Where one plaster over another Seems like a perfect match. When the clock strikes to 3 A.M Merely a sigh passes along, Yet another minute, On the cold street The light knows no acuity at all. It means for another tick, Yet does not wait for the tock; Tick-tock(!) Tick-tock. There lies 3 hour worth concurrence, Confronted for each tock, for half a minute, But only the seconds pass. And with each skip that matters, and only that matters nevertheless, The clock goes back to Eleven P.M. There(!) the gutter calls for another drink, For another trace On another strike. However mournfully, Escort of a humanly maze, The muddling sort, Births confusion. The attires seem gone by now. The heaves; quite impeccable, The path adopts another protest, For a much tackled breathing Time overlaps,dreamily, On a spectrum, Laying as a single faceted imposture; Mocking a postering of shed upon the pavement. For another street that seemingly differs; where the marching will always depend (Regardless) Solely on the counts of seconds By the potency of motives That merges as to defy The years accounted On the flesh and bone. Now there goes another strike, Audible over the plane And It carries on as “To lobby is to redeem For I sin And sin And sin On a 3-hour worth strike, Starting at 11 P.M, Over another man’s bearing.”

Hasina had gums of a prune colored play dough, much like the type which he used to mold and model into similar contraptions and cases. Contrasting with the teeth of a superb suburban plaster, the ***** contusion continued its conversation. Collecting admirers and adolescent adonis’ innocent of their sins. Since the inoculation, passed away, a pretense to nervousness approached the very essence of our chest; the bead of the brooch where we found the philtrum too close to the nose. Curling inside its own bare curves. A bed without sheet, hindered, harnessed, the horse dragged on. We soon found that the things we feigned to hate would come close to fame, In a magazine cover sheet, handed in late. Hasina, and her mother, certainly did not suppose that that beneath the floor boards, neither harm nor concern would be discovered. And neither was. With the way their will worked things became distributed. Disturbed guests of unwanted presents and gifts soon re-sent to other more malleable means of hospitality. Hungered as the hundredth wolf come to late. He too howled, but not at the moon, or rather not its simulacrum of a glowing truth, its silver light, or any movements its clearly showed. Growing loose the tumor slipped out, slowly. And with a plop, pressed against the walls, The jaws dropped and the mason jar closed and posed on exhibition for lessons, and interests, obsessions, dreads, things grotesque pressed against the walls. To be captured, resting above the skyscrapers. Where in the hours of dawn, space overlaps, a frowned pace of a clock grows fondly of the time that is lost and past.

I had too many things in boxes Shut for too long. I had the doubts hidden in the memories And the faces I tried to recall. I let them all sit in darkness As they pounded my mind Slowly I let go of it And I preferred driven mad inside. My heart was all I listened to, I must have forgotten How the beats were mine and mine replied. All the questions I repeated But never asked you once, Two possibilities I believe - I thought I knew them all Or that I was scared of what I didn't . Now you have left my heart all empty Too empty and I'm unable to have it shut. The boxes have spilled over And I stare at them Strewn across my feet. They are brown and bland and boring As I used to be, Insides are the truths I denied my heart to see. They lie so lifeless and dark I am scared of its sight, You have left me where I once had lived But now I am scared of the things I see. They are the remains of my heart All broken and hidden for so long, But they are the only truths of me And I hid them from you, all. My heart was a fool Always have been, It tried to win you over But my mind was what stood of the truth. Now you are gone And the boxes have all fallen Off the shelf and off the rack, My mind is now all empty And I can fill it with the world. I should have shown you those Maybe you would have been gone long ago Now my heart is all vacant It gave away echoes of your words. I sit here now staring Upon memories and memories They resemble so much of the lies I know I am almost afraid Of the truth taking over. I learnt my lesson I learnt the truth , My mind has spilled over And stained all that I knew. I stuff my heart with boxes Boxes I will never use, They have your words and your promises That you have kept And my mind is now open And harbors the truths I knew -you would leave, You would forget, We will live as if we never met. There is one box though I don’t know what to do with Whether to give you Or have it hid, It says the thing I never said , The one truth that overlaps doubts And each and each possibility we would regret.

A Time Glitch Hypnotised by the rattle-clank of wheel on world, your eyelids sink, seduced into darkness by the soporific roll of machinery. The outside blurs and folds, the world overlaps. Your chest begins to heave and slump with sightless breath and mindless beat. Caught somewhere between here and when, you slip and fall into yourself, onto the bed, the bed of a stranger. A soulmate. You linger just a moment, a time glitch, relieved by the horror, horrified by your relief at the jolting pleasure between your parted thighs. A molten bead of sweat, from his brow to yours, branding you, marking you, claiming your skin as his. You are one skin now. And now, as if to take his newfound form, you feel his hand at your neck, his palm on your throat, your life in his grasp. Surrender. He demands your submission not with his words, but with his fingers: with the wheeze of your will to live as it leaves. And you do. Like you always will. For you know that just as liberation is a form of control, submission is its own power. And just before your moment fades, you catch his eye; that final instant is haunted by his furious love, the adoring violence in his gaze. It's over, and you wake to the strangle-gag of ghosts to inhale the present. It fills you with sensation-- not feeling. You don't feel. You can't.

A Time Glitch
A ball of yarn full of intertwines, Though the core a mesh of twists and folds, One thread overlapping another all around, Like how one path crosses many others, Twisting, winding labyrinth, But organized into a sphere, And when the sphere unravels, The paths untwist and untangle, We realize, That the thread overlaps not another, But itself a hundred times over, A single, long thread remains, Encompassing all paths into one, Then we finally see, Despite the complex intricacies There remains a single thread, With one beginning and one end, Shared by all, Though we differ in between, I am you, And you are I.

A Ball of Yarn
a search outside often finds darkness in our other.. we hope for penetrating warmth our furnished light.. We ask how our light renews its flame.. enter Escher with his tiled lizards.. we see the fitting without any gaps scaled symmetry and no overlaps.. this oneness display feeds inner light.. our new inside and out...

Escher indeed
when my pen comes to paper all i can write about is.. you. ah it's been a while now since we last talked and i haven't been okay since. it's not like i'm ever okay but talking to you made me feel not so numb. not numb. made me feel. you made my heart beat when all i wanted it to do is stop, you made me feel complete when i was nothing but empty all my life, you gave me a purpose when i always believed that life has none, you changed me. completely. i don't know if it's to better or to worse but i'm thankful to you for both. some days though, my heart fills up with so much hatred and my lungs fill up with unbounded rage and all i want to do in that moment is make you feel the pain i did when you left. i want you to hurt so much that it becomes unbearable for you to hold on anymore. other days i feel so much regret it's overwhelming and all i want to do is rewind time and make it right again. i need to make it right again. i have to make it right, but i can't. i wonder how i can have so much love in me yet so much hate, it's like i want to choke you to death yet sleep in your arms. your words are like daggers and the more you speak, the more i bleed. the more you speak, the more my chest heaves and i feel like i've lost as much oxygen needed for me to breath. less each time. you'll leave me breathless one day and i don't mean it as a metaphor. it's not a metaphor. my suffering will never be a metaphor because i can't compare. i believe pain is perceived differenlty from one person to another and somehow i feel my suffering is the worst. everyone feels like their suffering is the worst. with you, it's always a charade. a guess. a thought. a feeling. you're unpredictable, and god i love this about you. you're not perfect. perfect is flawless and you're flawful and with every flaw i yet get to discover, i fall deeper in love. i fall deep. i fall but i get up. i get up to prove you wrong, oh how i love to do that. maybe i am a little bit too obsessed with you? okay too much and you've got no idea how much i hate myself for it. i'm the sinner and my sin was getting attached to you. ugh, when will this go away? when will you go away? when will i ever stop thinking about you? when will i move on? questions that i have no answers to and answers i think too much about. you didn't love me, you did not care or at least not the way i wanted you to. one sided. my feelings are always one sided. sometimes i wish i was born with none. you left. you left. you ******* left and you are not coming back and i know it's my fault but you took my feelings with you, and i can't feel anything anymore. i need to feel. i need to feel in order to move on and i guess you didn't want that. you crave attention and you know i am willing to give you all of mine, for that you used me. betrayed me. more than once. and yet, i keep thinking so good of you because i believe the good inside you overlaps the bad. you're ****** up but that's what made me love you. i love you.

Five years ago I died. I don't know if I revived. **** thirteen really was hard, But it was the best played card. Seems like every day in the past Still continues, overlaps, and lasts. I don't know if I'm living in the future, Or staying behind like an immobile creature. I don't know what happened. I don't know what's happening. People just come and people just go, 'Cause relative to arrival, departure is slow. You want to see the reality of me? Good luck finding it, if it may be. I died five years ago. Nobody noticed. My mom said she loves me. My father did, too. I think I believed her more than him. I think he only cares about himself. That's were I got my **** from. I can't say I'm better than that. It's all I was taught. And now it's hard to get rid of it. I'm pretty gone, now. Trying to get rid of some things erased me. It was an overshot, But it was a shot. I say **** a lot of things. A lot people say **** me. But I'm not them. They're not me. What does it mean to be lost? I might be, even though I thought I found my way. I thought I stood up, To get off the ground. I think it was ***** That must've been it. But I think I just crawled into a chair. I'm a pretty lazy guy. From a couple feet higher, I can see where to go. But without my feet carrying me, I can't go anywhere. And though I know a lot of things, Getting all the way isn't one of them. I think I died one day. It may have been five years ago. I've met the same person eight million times. She didn't exist. I did a lot for her. She was inside my head. I did a lot for me. 'Cause I'm not quite selfless. But I could be. Could I be? I don't know. I don't know a lot of things. It makes me unsure. It makes me unsafe. One day that will **** me. If I'm still alive. But I think I died one day. It was maybe two years ago. Five years ago, I wanted to die. But only two years ago, my heart stopped beating. It was all a process. It was a matter of time. 'Cause no death is instantaneous, But it happens in a single instant. I think I still exist. If not, there'd be no head for this to be in. It's not all just inside my head. That's one thing I'm sure of. But not completely sure. Only a little bit. She left two years ago. She's not here anymore. I made a new her two years ago. She's inside my head. She left two years ago. I met her seven million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine times after. But only for an instant each time. Then she would always turn into another person. I got used to the phrase. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else." I wished she'd come back. But not anymore. I died two years ago. She'd be wasting her time here. But maybe she wouldn't be. She wouldn't come for me after all. She would come for other people. To see people that surely still exist. Why waste time on the dead? Better to waste time on the living. I might not be either of them, Since I might not exist anymore. Or I might. I might still be a few songs, some words on a page, and some marijuana smoke. I don't know a lot of things. So I can't be sure of anything. I started dying five years ago and might have finished two. I don't know if revived, if I ever made through.

I Died Five Years Ago

The homeowner called up to me as I danced across the attic floor, "careful on the creaky boards." But I didn't listen, now I don't know where I am, and everything is dark, and I miss the way your bedroom smelled in the spring time, with one window open, and a fan blowing hot air in from the kitchen. I told you I didn't wanna go back there, and you asked where "there" was and I said "I can't put my finger on it, but I don't wanna go back" and it made sense even though it didn't. I keep falling into these empty spaces, void of fruit bowls & hands to hold. I keep falling into these empty spaces, where I can't walk a straight line because there are only circles. I keep falling into these empty spaces, where mirrors refuse to turn away & familiar voices are distorted by the unique echoing of silence when it overlaps silence. Here I am, on a bed of thorns that hide their roses, wanting desperately to rip my thoughts from my skull, scatter them like petals on the ground and rearrange them...

Empty Spaces
The homeowner called up to me as I danced across the attic floor, "careful on the creaky boards." But I didn't listen, now I don't know where I am, and everything is dark, and I miss the way your bedroom smelled in the spring time, with one window open, and a fan blowing hot air in from the kitchen. I told you I didn't wanna go back there, and you asked where "there" was and I said "I can't put my finger on it, but I don't wanna go back" and it made sense even though it didn't. I keep falling into these empty spaces, void of fruit bowls & hands to hold. I keep falling into these empty spaces, where I can't walk a straight line because there are only circles. I keep falling into these empty spaces, where mirrors refuse to turn away & familiar voices are distorted by the unique echoing of silence when it overlaps silence. Here I am, on a bed of thorns that hide their roses, wanting desperately to rip my thoughts from my skull, scatter them like petals on the ground and rearrange them... Here I am, timid hands, wabbley knees wanting desperately to pick my body from flesh to bone til it's raw and naked and ready to grow in different I think that's why they call rock bottom the wake up call you get when you need it... I need it, I need it, I need it, and if there's no foundation, all that's left to do is build. I'm ready to climb out of these empty spaces.

Time, an absolute, yet relative. During hardship, forlorn, moments: it is slow, tick by tick… a lackadaisical jester. As if tomorrow will never come, as if hours felt like days, as if you wish to immediately die. The pain is unbearable, the torment treacherous. Excruciating agony, with anticipation of therapy. Permeating through the skin, right into the bones. Every blood valves suffocating, each vessel about to burst. Your train of thoughts, muddled in convulsion. Pollution, Persuasion, Permission. The three overlaps, the three intervenes, and the three clash. Like loud bangs and rambunctious cymbals. CLANG CLANG CLANG. “Make it stop!” Your thoughts deter your peace, and your sickness prevents your happiness. The insecurities and hate abolishes your well-being, all you wanted to do was breathe. We almost forgot that we had the right to breathe, that oxygen was given as a gift to release. Inhaling and exhaling should be a blessing, and every minute should not be this stifling. Sometimes we forget that time is against us, and we are the enemies of ourselves. Don’t continue living if you are actually dead, but do things that make you alive so that when you die, you will have no regrets. Time is absolute, but you can also make it relative.

The pains of time
What was the time when we started the evolution of ourselves ? What was the time set when the first clock was built ? Past is only an abyss overcomed , Passed and been through with our minds physically and mentally And future a chasm to be magnetized into and dragged down in ; working and going so hand in hand that like writing this piece of verse being the present is being my future as well The window of transition from present to future being so narrow it actually overlaps one another in ways So thoughtful and ineffable The present being me writing these lines and the future being the outcome the whole verse which is now in process while I write this Only a thin line of perspective and time difference or backlog occurs between them Keeping the both distinguished from each other letting them mean what they truly attribute for There are three abstracts working simultaneously -the past present and future The cognition of the brain undergoing a change in every single milli - seconds ; a transition from its current state of mind , carrying the neural data of the past nostalgia into the future Those 3 abstracts Playing its game of mutation and novelty over mind and body ... While in all this the soul is the one feeling the time .....

Blank canvas I cleaned my brush So do I need to know About your past And drag mine Into this now? Saturated colors Some dark edges; A focal point Can we not paint on white Start out right? Blank canvas Is not ours I do not require A new work of art, Superimposed Upon our past. I take you As you are Along with each stroke of brush You have crafted until now; The anatomy of us Overlaps with the portrait of our lives I see the whole spectrum Let us look at the big picture.

Tessellation & Interstices **”A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps…In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.”** the insistent need to be distinguished means many are not,   indeed, this hunger to be an influencer and never just an influencé. creeply creates a linear surface, a flooring to be trod upon, a tessellated plane, were we each fit in right-tight juxtaposition and we are noticeable for our uniformity and the scuff marks of having been trod upon, well used. it is in the chips of irregularities, the overlaps and the gaps where we touch and connect with our individual Ah Ha’s, where our Venn Diagram Lives intersect, infect, interfere, inject, in the tiny interstices tween us, the jagged, irritatingly edgy rubbings that the friction of creativity is comedically inseminated. I love a good tense sweat, that invasive, deep boring burring, that demands instant creative solutions lest the angst of an unwritten-in-the-moment-poem is even more annoying, before it is annoyingly, befogged, lost forever. that is why with old age, fearsome fast short term memory loss, some turn to the speedy freedom of free verse, unconstrained by socks and well fitting shoes, and the slip on sneakers of rhyming, so insistent on perfection, that the burr is absorbed, the irritant rubbing is creamed away, and that loss of a pouring of the soul’s *********** of Done! is our exclamatory mutual curse

Drug me with your strongest dose of addictions, between the spaces of our future sins I embrace every adventure behind closed doors as long as mine is embedded in yours I feel safe and anxious at the same time not physically mine However for that moment we unite intertwined, tight Unbreakable strength within the space adrenaline you can’t replace This feeling even in absence of time rough yet smooth, each line Overlaps my own and I search to caress the inside skimming sweat from both sides It's okay, slowly caressing my protection merely fit to perfection I’m addicted to the movement, and touch overwhelming rush Of serenity, and flutter nowhere else I’d rather be you drugged me

Drug Me
And on he goes like one who rose To walk a sea of spiders’ lace Along the fields, and seems to sense The breath of heaven on his face And now can see a lovely thing To charm his blinking eye: An opening, a sky of blue With cloudlets coasting by! The fragrance of the morning! His sense unto him shows The Earth, and springing from its dew, The grass with sweet winds sighing through, Bushes and trees as yet wet through Borne with the happy air into Both channels of his nose. And to his ears now comes the tale In which all this is said, The treetop finches descant high While on some low spray growing nigh Blackbird both murmurs lowly by And frames the melody’s reply. Eager to bring this to his eye The good man gladly runs, The tunnel opens to the sky, He issues forth at once. All in a woodland clearing The small, unresting bee Visits each offered flower, The breeze each offered tree, The dandelion thrusts forth his head With yellow fire upon it, The trim, demure anemone Her neat, white, modest bonnet, The little winking violet By light unvisited And tiny-fingered stitchworts Their dainty napkins spread, Within the wood the bluebells Their peals of colour ring, He knows the place – Old England. Also the season – Spring. His long, perplexing journey seems No more to vex his head, Like one condemned and now reprieved He leaps for joy instead, And shouting runs and waves his arms With unrestricted mirth, And throws his face down in the grass To kiss the reeking earth. We come from utter darkness And soon return again, Why is it, in this fleeting life Of grief, of loss and pain, The fit of bitter sorrow Outdures the weary Moon While joy and with it comfort Dissolve away so soon? Just as the pecking sparrow At Winter’s scanty scraps May not enjoy his morsel, The short day’s last perhaps For fear the shadow of the hawk His business overlaps. No sooner goes the good man Upon that meadow blest, No sooner is his outstretched back Upon the rich earth pressed Than all his limbs go tense again, His brain can have no rest. Once more into the tunnel He has to make his way…

Crying Heart
Oh, give me my exile and send me away, For passion is the bed that I lay. My heart being the star poet, Creating ideas not so foreign so that, You can know you are the ink in my pen, And I cannot create the beauty of words with an “if”, but a “when”. I will not live in a land that blurs at boarder. I will make it so that I am love’s hoarder. But a strange habit, I am specific with my choice, Desiring but one with an impromptu voice. As my vice, I will fix you until you can see, Using my words, you won’t have to read. They paint pictures of what could be and what will. Here they overlap. You are my lengthy thrill. Knowing I should know not to indulge in your eyes or you touch, Whishing that my hands and heart let me do as much. Alas, I cannot keep myself from you any longer. This game of catch will be caught. I will be stronger. Enough for me, and the both of us. I will speak with conviction and pride. No longer behind my prose will I wait and hide. You and I are one in the same. I can see you see it too. The silence overtakes the city’s traffic. It overlaps and cuts right through. So in this last moment of silence, I hope you hear what everyone sees. Vice or not. Scared or distraught. You belong with me.

Overlap
breathing in and out breathing in and out so many words the beginning and ending of the worlds words the eternal loop from word to word and to the sound of silence the sound of silence that overlaps a lot of beginnings and endings of words words and again words a lot of words and voices a lot of talking, talking and talking a lot of a lot of things the sound of eyes closing lids clashing, open and shut open and shut, open and shut foots hitting the ground left and right, left foot coming after the right and the same over and over and over and over and over the beginning of the breath that goes in to the ending of an exhale, breathe out and in and out and in wind over wind, that speaks and speaks and speaks to me and at last the last clashing of the lids eyes shut to blank silence a vision less vision in a tubular void in the dark, and sound of silence getting louder and louder and louder it is never quiet in my mind and self that envies the ability of a needle in a clock to move on second to second and not dwell in the past -Kaya

should I lay chin pressed against the pillow I held onto as i child times where I believed the world consisted so little of the color black the hue overlaps my movements even when I wave hello to every man that has ever come across me the hellos to every man that has ever possessed me in that sense but no not ever really tunes that fled into my ocean when I was a child oh times where I knew that life didn't offer much mercy for your plead and your case never stretched so far so little so little you will always be in heaps and large amounts of light hearted daunted quainted quilted catastrophe ebbs into clear water that tastes like medicine down me down me the day that i came into this place I learned to stand straight live so gracefully under a veil that will become permanent and under eyes under my real eyes hands that moved under my real hands and thoughts that spoke themselves on paper and never never out loud I stray walk and smile into every being of interest destroy captivate release inhale exhale all the love all the love
