"overpowering" poems
It’s deeper than that. It’s deeper than the ocean. It’s this feeling I can’t bare. My heart thumping so quick Adrenaline rush when I heard the Words that you were gone. Altitude is so high I can’t even cry. 12 Empire State buildings tall, and I still really couldn’t reach my soul. My emotions overpowering many things Wishing you were here, wishing there was a golden stairway to heaven. I would climb milestones just to hear your voice. I wish I could come up home, and sit down just to see your reflection. You’re shining brightly with flashes of light. Looking like an Angel I feel your presence.   Things are unreal   time is not ours,and Forever you will be in my heart. Rest In Peace to you beautiful souls.

Rest in paradise
it's getting scarier by the HOUR OUR world will never see PEACE PIECE by piece we're overpowered overpowering us as our fears increase we sit idle as hatred BREWS BRUISED by the war torn SCENE SEEN as only pawns to lose losing all of our hopes and dreams

pawns to lose - homophone loop poem
Patted into sticky spheres of tender delight and spotted with chocolate chips. I watch carefully as they melt into the dough. The smell of overpowering joy wafes throughout my tickled nostrils, and having to wait another second for them to cool is anything but bearable. All I can think as they rest on a plate before me is, “They’re mine, ALL MINE!” I grab one and let it explore my impatient taste buds as it travels down the dark tunnel and into a tomb of pure happiness. Like a mother to a child, I hold you tight (Into my stomach, that is). How can something so small cause so much explosive excitement to travel through my veins? Chocolate chip cookies are little bites of heaven.

Ode to Chocolate Chip Cookies
I feel as though I am losing you to a snake. One who's venom has the ability to warp your mind. I feel as though I am losing your heart to its bite. A strong overpowering sensation of pure manipulation. I feared that when I awoke this morning you would no long be mine, but in fact hypnotized by every scale and slither. And while you are still resting soundly, arms wrapped around me, She whispered in your ear last night. (i. r)

Manipulation
When I saw her The first woman with the first wide eyes Bright and light and dark and deep With life and mystery My heart beat like the first hand struck the first drum And the first song was sung In dark caves of ten times ten thousand years ago When I first breathed that first scent My sight stopped My mind stopped My mind was my body and my hands and my gut And my legs extending to the ground and the earth and time And it slowed down like an ice age beginning Then it melted into warm fire Where it burned The first touch of the first woman Was electrical chemical radioactive bliss Every piece of matter in me wanted to move and dance and shake and fly apart The spark from the start of her heart beat Crossed through the fibers and Traveled down the pathways of her body Down the chemical electric synapses Through her arm and jumped across to my hand And traveled up and started a new beat It was a faster, and stronger beat And it beat And it beat Like the first dance, Shook with the slap and smack of ground and hands and feet Oh the first woman was all women And then there were other women And they were people Flesh and blood And minds and thoughts And feelings that I could not feel Good and bad and indifferent With hangups and problems Blemishes and baggage I met women coming Women going Here and there Now and then For coffee, for beer, One evening or ten I met scientists, nurses bartenders and baristas. Living lives I didn't mind Giving time when it was mine Asking for things I couldn't find Then I saw You All of you In time and space and speed I caught the scent of you Your fragrance and perfume And the primal musk of you That fatal lusts allure I felt you The gravity of your body from across the room Your electro-magnetic force pulling Pressure of the displaced particles pushing As you walked so slowly towards me And time stopped Light and sound and movement were captured Captive to your hypnotic sway Prisoner to your power over my perception You moved through the still air And it swept aside like a curtain as you passed The world was quiet And then it pounded   The pressure of it filled the air and everything around it As you moved closer, Like ride of the Valkyries Rising and crashing in waves It rose as you moved towards me You carried it in your wake And then it was a crescendo A vast overpowering transcendent orchestral cacophony Of immense intense sound and light and energy erupting Cymbals crashed and horns blew and strings snapped under the pressure of the vibrations Brilliant fireworks exploded in the black sky of your brown eyes As you stopped a few feet from me And time was stopped You were the first woman You were all women You are The only woman

The First Woman
When I saw her The first woman with the first wide eyes Bright and light and dark and deep With life and mystery My heart beat like the first hand struck the first drum And the first song was sung In dark caves of ten times ten thousand years ago When I first breathed that first scent My sight stopped My mind stopped My mind was my body and my hands and my gut And my legs extending to the ground and the earth and time And it slowed down like an ice age beginning Then it melted into warm fire Where it burned The first touch of the first woman Was electrical chemical radioactive bliss Every piece of matter in me wanted to move and dance and shake and fly apart The spark from the start of her heart beat Crossed through the fibers and Traveled down the pathways of her body Down the chemical electric synapses Through her arm and jumped across to my hand And traveled up and started a new beat It was a faster, and stronger beat And it beat And it beat Like the first dance, Shook with the slap and smack of ground and hands and feet Oh the first woman was all women And then there were other women And they were people Flesh and blood And minds and thoughts And feelings that I could not feel Good and bad and indifferent With hangups and problems Blemishes and baggage I met women coming Women going Here and there Now and then For coffee, for beer, One evening or ten I met scientists, nurses bartenders and baristas.

I pop a pomegranate seed. It bleeds, Delicate fuchsia delight, Mineral scented, warm, bright, Full of nectar and promise (now wasted) I pop another one, In a soft cove on my arm- A slight dip between two veins - And watch the blushing drop Edge closer to my elbow. Stop. A third time, With the fury of fear Tiptoeing listlessly in my mind, Like raindrops on a rooftop.   It is sweet, and ****** A waste of time but an act of god Nonetheless. I crave the sound and texture of it, So a fourth time comes around. By now, the citrus is overpowering But I keep going, For the sake of purity, For the sake of the shock of vibrance On deathly pale skin.    When my arm is covered in juice, I give up. There's no sense in envying the wasted. Scarlet sticks.

an act of nature
The pathway to the hidden falls, greenest trees and ivy walls, Humid day and rain a threat, Forest living, thick and wet. Pebbles on this path to be, Never ending, fast to me. Flip flops make an obstacle, For me to keep the pace we go. The peach in hand is almost eaten, When roaring waters reveal this Eden, The water falls so quick approaching seems to stick my memory's poaching. We climb the uphill train of rocks, more like boulders, need for socks, Majesty miracle's tickle my senses, Like watching babe ruth swing for the fences. Something here is overpowering behind the force field something is flowering, Wet smooth rocks lay geometric, something alive and something electric. Native American premonitions, Thoughts of the beginning of all of this swishin', Waterfall dreams sparkle like diamonds, Foam and water, slippery minded. Brain chemical explosion. Somethings been bound. Something is gone something I found Burned in my imagination is this place that I visited on my vacation.

Waterfall Dreamland Memories of Yesterday
On the molded plastic black keys Tip- tap tipping away   Smiling wickedly With self-satisfaction Words deliberately in a sociopathic array Crazed Eyes agleam Thoughts rambling across the planets In and out of reality Both far and away Each letter vibrates with its own life The deranged wordsmith's release So the clicking and typing Systemic vacant sounds Never seem to cease To the mad poet The combinations of descriptive words Overpowering Promotes the disease Hypnotizing Beguiling Calling in a sweet voice To the mad poet In letters A to Z This poem is copyrighted and stored in author base.

The Mad Poet
The first cold letters, alone on the page. A quick pencil found them, and the lively and beautiful syllables blossomed. The pale book felt the pencil, and the terrifying, hot words entered. The lines grew, living and sensitive, gleaming as never before, and I knew the unheard lines! First, a tiny and unselfconscious sound. A noun struggled to appear among overpowering words. A strong, golden adjective ran out, a short, fragrant adjective, beautiful in the early spring. A young verb grew among tiny blue conjunctions, and a fortuitous adverb understood, instinctively. The first sentence dreamed of trees, and a sad cloud. It dreamed a grey rain, and the tall trees felt the rain. There was a first and unknown river, imagined, inconsequential, like snow in summer. A red bird glided beyond reach, as if it had never happened. The soft sounds fitted the lines, and the quick bird cried, Remember the short rain! Remember the sad poem!

Inconsequential Syllables **
It is said by smell Impossible be detected I am here to say they are quite mistaken For it is as heavy as night blooming jasmine Overpowering Intoxicating The smell of white calla lilies Heralds the coming of death Announcing another soul from life taken Despair indeed has a scent Lain on a headstone in reverence The wreath of flowers Posses a perfume of its own Depression and loss infiltrate the heart A cologne that permeates the air There is I can assure you A fragrance of despair This poem is copyrighted and stored in author base.  All material subject to Copyright Infringement laws Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.

The Fragrance of Despair
Something about the woven leather Reminds me of sandals you once wore, In the garden enjoying the sun. Your shorts and that old cotton vest the one that was probably once white, but Nanny wasn't around to do your whites anymore, and so it grew greyer as your hair grew whiter. The sun's rays danced through the waves of your hair and into the garden, Filling it with light, shining down upon plastic flowers planted among coloured stones. Smells of stale cakes from bargain stalls and the sugar from flat lemonade in murky cups wafted out the back door and clashed with that overpowering cooking smell as you sat in your sun lounger and baked yourself in vegetable oil, cooking your Irish skin to a crisp! The flower patterns of your walls in the garden and cast iron patio furniture, The plastic mat that covered the carpet and always managed to trip us, The halogen heater in the parlour and blanket on your knees, The clumps of bullseye sweets in your locker and Quality Street tin of empty wrappers, The damp and stale smells of the kitchen in your care, The holy pictures and moving Jesus on the stairs, The bath marbles we loved to play with and how they'd smash upon collision, And the pink, silk quilt that enveloped your bed, They're all pieces in the mosaic that illustrates your memory now and they'll never be broken. I've glued them so tightly together it's as strong as your jaw! Your jaw, always known to make eyes water when you'd turn during a goodbye kiss on your cheek and crush our noses! Even when we tried to approach with caution! But oh what anyone of us wouldn't give to feel that again, just to say goodbye and think we'd be over to the Bluebell to see you again. So now I sit and look at the woven leather on my sandals and remember all the details, all the memories that are woven together to make you. Sometimes I wish I could click the heels together. Bluebell Bluebell Bluebell And be back in that garden, once more.

A feeling in my heart, fast as lightning striking the ground So much passion, but you hear no sound Losing all control I can feel it in my soul Determination is overpowering. Close your eyes and feel it within Let yourself travel to where you’ve been Don’t stop till the world is in your hands For then the world is under your command Determination is adrenalizing. Tear down the halls Burn down the walls Scream and shout Till the lights go out Determination is everything.

I see you from across the room I've known you for years But I get this feeling inside Like I just met you And as I watch you You slowly walk towards me And my insides start to melt As you get closer, our eyes lock And I feel things I've never felt You move me, make me wobble Once your close enough to touch I can't help but giggle You put a finger to my lip And I secretly smile to myself Your fingertips move down my arm Softly landing on my hip You caress my face with a gentle touch Then get closer until there's barely a breath between us My knees go weak This is all just too much I sigh and lean in to your mouth Your lips surround mine Removing all my doubts I can feel it in your kiss And a sudden bliss overwhelms me This electricity is too hot to miss I go in hard, I can't help myself My arms around your neck, I feel you losing control of yourself No holding back I can't help but want for more And in a flash We're lying naked on the floor Fingers, legs, hands and arms We're completely intertwined From our souls to our hearts I feel love to depths divine And there's no greater sensation Than when your body finally enters mine It's an overpowering friction I'm surprised we're not engulfed in flames yet These sparks are flying I've never been hotter The sweat starts dripping We've never been wetter The passions an electric surge And my body's on fire I fight the urge Taking myself higher and higher I'm lost in you In your touch, in your eyes And I'm surprised how unafraid I am A guilty pleasure with no shame We climb together as one A game that we'll both win Reaching peaks we never knew existed Crying out in ecstasy Again and again I sigh... And sleep Cuddled in your arms Heart and body Safe from harm

Silently the social media hero strikes again The swift and ruthless keyboard warrior Crushing political correctness Debunking liberal drivel Overpowering the opinions of the obsolete He grows and grows With every post And tweets make him feel Like the torrent of thoroughness Raging through a landscape That needs to be cleansed Outside lies a hostile world With prying, judging eyes Online, a world of possibilities Where virtual battle cries Are the prelude of a rally Between the devoid and the deluded But through his own gaze Focused on the reflection On the computer screen A social media hero rises While outside, the world passes him by

You look at me. I look at you. The heat rises. Arousal is overpowering. The nausea begins. You ask, ‘Shall we?’ And, I blush, wondering if eternity will come together at least this time; Going against my celibacy of a year, Bowing to the blushing nausea of the routine arousal of a forgotten yesterday, Awkwardly I crawl on the bed, sliding closer to you. I sit on your lap. I feel your hard on in between my thighs. I rhythmically move with closed eyes. Blushing, I open my eyes to look at your long black curls. I cup your long brown beard in my moist palms My eyes meet yours and they stutter, scatter and flutter. Blushing, with halp open eyes and wide open ***** I ****** my jumpsuit harder on your hard-on. Your hands wary over my ***** and I clench my fist slowly over your manhood. Suddenly, I become faster than you. I kiss you madly, rub your beard over my tender cheeks and almost bruised lips. You pause. I don’t see you no more. I heat up. I remember kissing your manhood, loving it, eating it and  nibbling it for what seemed to be forever, Until I choked. Paused. The clothes are gone. And you pulled me by my hair. Bent my waist before I could grasp a glance  of your rugged beard, Of your sour kiss, And, then it was just thrusts. And thrusts. And Thrusts. And a million more thrusts. After an eternity of an endless void, It pulsated inside. I felt a mild tingle. Nothing much. Nothing heavy. Nothing shivering, to me. To you as well. It seemed strange. And then you were out. And then you were gone. I dripped. I dried. I spilled. And, I oathed that I will be celibate for the rest of my life, Again. Because you grow upper, and upper, You forgot to make love. You forgot to kiss me. You forgot to look into my eyes. You forgot to caress my hips. You forgot to clench your nails into my neck Because the ground does not move anymore. To let me see the passion in your eyes when you're inside me, Because there is no more passion left of this copulation. This coitus is a blank frustration and none more. It is just a routine now. It will just be a routine again. I swallow the pink-butterfly pill. And I know, that this nausea This arousal Will enslave me the next time as well. And next time too, It will never be the same as I moan in my solitary void, Feeling the tingle in my crotch, Awaiting a warmth, Tingles, and all the other fantasies. I will just stand, stare, hope and die without the holy tingle, And you will too. We are just jaded, and Jade till it all dims to an oblivion of a momentary jade.

everywhere i look your blood laced fingerprints. everywhere i hear those tintinnabulating anklets. everywhere i smell, the overpowering musky marigolds. but where are you my black goddess? when no one in the universe can match your ravishing beauty, have you chosen this time to hide inside pure dark matter? © 2022

kali (part two)
The sun is setting blissfully and subtly touching the branches on this hill. A flood of color is emerging from heaven and enveloping the world in heat. All I am on this hill is a part of the grass. Broken by the wind, and taken by the rush of beauty. All I am on this hill is and was, and will be. And it is alright. Because mother nature is resting her head. Enlightening the world in an overpowering aura. For a second malice is nonexistent evil is unheard of, and every piece of good seems part of this day, so fragrant. All I am, on this hill is a stranger glancing at the light.

stranger at sunset.
Last weekend was “Parent’s” weekend at Yale. A time when parents are formally invited to visit. They have receptions and other events - but no potato-sack races (which is disappointing). My parents couldn’t come, they’ve never come to parent’s weekend, but Leong’s parents came again, from Macao, China, a 16,060-mile round trip. There was a time when boys could tank my self-confidence with a word. When the male gaze seemed overpowering. I’d felt constantly evaluated - but I’ve evolved - somewhat. We’re going to a party. Lisa, Leong, Sunny, Anna and I - we’ve got our shine on and we’re drawing looks. Well, ok, Lisa’s drawing looks and I’m in the general frame. Lisa sneezed, “The air quality’s bad tonight,” she announced, wiping her nose with a Kleenex. “I don’t have any allergies,” I bragged. “Me neither,” Leong added. “If you can breathe the air in China,” I said, “You’re golden.” Leong laughed “Tài zhēnshí liǎo,” (Too true!) She agreed. As we left the more street-lit part of the path, the moon, wandering in and out of the clouds, created moving shadows that peopled the darkness with phantoms. Was that impression the paranoia of fatigue? I haven’t been getting much sleep lately. Or maybe it’s October and Halloween’s just around the corner. I was walking in the rear, nestled in the mingled scents of my roommates' perfumes that, like rare blossoms, enchanted and excited the child in me. I wasn’t paying attention, and I stubbed my toe on a misaligned sidewalk tile. Don’t you hate the gap between stubbing your toe and feeling the pain?

There was a time when boys could tank my self-confidence with a word. When the male gaze seemed overpowering. I’d felt constantly evaluated - but I’ve evolved - somewhat. We’re going to a party. Lisa, Leong, Sunny, Anna and I - we’ve got our shine on and we’re drawing looks. Well, ok, Lisa’s drawing looks and I’m in the general frame. Lisa sneezed, “The air quality’s bad tonight,” she announced, wiping her nose with a Kleenex. “I don’t have any allergies,” I bragged. “Me neither,” Leong added. “If you can breathe the air in China,” I said, “You’re golden.” Leong laughed “Tài zhēnshí liǎo,” (Too true!) She agreed. As we left the more street-lit part of the path, the moon, wandering in and out of the clouds, created moving shadows that peopled the darkness with phantoms. Was that impression the paranoia of fatigue? I haven’t been getting much sleep lately. Or maybe it’s October and Halloween’s just around the corner. I was walking in the rear, nestled in the mingled scents of my roommates' perfumes that, like rare blossoms, enchanted and excited the child in me. I wasn’t paying attention, and I stubbed my toe on a misaligned sidewalk tile. Don’t you hate the gap between stubbing your toe and feeling the pain?

A Strong sense of unease fills my mind and soul my body trembles is it fear or the cold night looking around at seemingly quiet streets what waits in this darkness that engulfs me once feeling safe and secure now I want to flee evil exists all about in the form of human beings cruel calculating driven by what often a mystery few cause so much misery and horror in society overpowering subtle in their persuasive false way most want to live peacefully keeping evil at bay do  you not feel it to that unseen lingering unease always there ready to attack like a viral disease!

Evil!
Relaxing peacefully on her lap Her fingers ran through his hair, And,speaking soft, soothing words Waves of calm caressed him there. Delilah used her feminine wiles, Honeyed words dripped from her lips, A sense of serenity enveloped his soul From her tender fingertips. The secret of his amazing strength Was reluctantly revealed to her ears Leading to open the floodgates Of times of sorrow and tears. On her lap he continued to rest, Unawares of her subtle scheming; Carefully his luxuriant locks were cut With scissors sharp and gleaming. Little could Samson have known The intentions of her black heart, Her cunning and overpowering charm Hit him as with a poisoned dart. Samson’s strength suddenly left him, As weak as a kitten he became, Delilah had truly duped him, Although it seemed to her a game. As hard as granite was her heart, No true feelings of love were there Else, why would she hurt him With no chance of any repair? His life had a very sad ending, Of this most people have heard, It’s recorded for our perusal Within the pages of God’s Word. The lesson to be learned From this ghastly episode Is that disloyalty is as acid That the heart can corrode. Like a wilting yellow lily Under the sun’s searing heat, Samson’s strength melted Into a pool of utter defeat. Remember this we should And be careful how we act Lest our deceptive hearts This drama we re-enact…

Samson's Weakness
And the beat drops me alone It drops It drops It drops And it echoes In this tight space Full of my belongings Screaming solitude sigh And that echoes too Matching with the rhythm Of the bass Trying to escape from the speakers. Like I'm trying to escape From this solitude From these people And like that ******* bass I can't escape I'm not equipped to escape I can't be let out there. Alone. Even with people I can't do it. I don't know what I'm doing Or what I want But I know I'm hurt And I can't tell you where And I'm not sure I can tell you why But I know that as long as I have this Playing in the background Overpowering my senses Itching it's way into my scalp I can forget. I can forget. I can lose myself in it And forget the hurt And forget the confusion And forget everything As long as I have this music

There are boys that cry, There are girls who have dry eyes. There are boys that dance or play volleyball, There are girls that wrestle or play football. There are boys who drive VW Bugs, There are girls that drive trucks. There are boys that bake, There are girls that shred. There are boys that like the Notebook, There are girls that like Transformers. There are boys that are romantics at heart, looking for love, There are girls that aren't into flowers or love songs. There are boys with hair to their knees, There are girls with shaved heads. There are boys with diaries and journals full of memories, There are girls who have no desire to write down all the details. There are boys with names like Aubry, There are girls with names like Sam. There are boys with insecurities about their bodies, There are girls who don't weigh themselves ever. There are boys with eating disorders, There are girls who work out for the ideal 6 pack. There are boys that prep endlessly for a date, There are girls who take 5 minutes to get out the door. There are tidy, neat boys, There are messy, whirlwind girls. There are boys in dresses, There are girls in baggy jeans and a pullover. There are boys who shop endlessly, There are girls who can't stand the mall. There are boys that talk about their emotions, There are girls who would rather not. There are boys that look after the kids, There are girls that work full-time. There are boys who are nurses, There are girls who are engineers. There are boys who cook, There are girls that change the oil in the car. There are boys who are complacent and subordinate, There are girls who are dominant and overpowering. There are boys with no desire to get it in on the first date, And there are some girls who wouldn't mind if they do. And those are all okay. Gender stereotyping only limits what you can and can't do. Let the boys cry and write poetry and eat chocolate when they're sad and talk about their feelings. Let the girls be aggressive and wrestle their buddies and play ball and drive sports cars. Let people do as they please. You're born as you a are, you can't decide what gender you are. You can decide what you do with your gender though, or rather what it won't keep you from doing. Your gender is only an aspect of who you are, don't let it dictate your actions to appease a society that has deemed what is and is not okay for you to do simply because you're either a guy or girl. There are boys and girls that can grow up to be what they please, do as they wish and speak as they will. Don't be the one to tell them otherwise.

A futile battle enmeshed Overpowering emotions struggle to stay afloat Heaving a deep breath I sink in Isolated in my despair Sliced through bone and marrow Pain wrenches my soul, vice in its hold A fragrance wafts in Electrifying my soul Reverberating memories explode Bursting to surface Tender moments, the story of a heaped up soul In every cell of my being I feel you Emanating exuding your deep truth Your touch like butterflies Transcendental your love Rewinding reel by reel The story of an unsaid love I see you close, though I bear you not My heart lost inside your soul Irreplaceable the magic Weaved by those deep emerald embers Wants each moment to unfold I ease back and surrender once again To the assurance of this bliss Entrenched deeply in this moment Serenity shrouds a warm blanket Intense emotions lay calm, spent My soul in glorious serenity elevates You are undeniably a part of me My paragon, my serenity Issue forth bright light, vibrant colors Adorn the deep dark night sky Your love a painting a million hues Panoramic and divine. I LOVE YOU....
