"overthrowing" poems
I'm speechless That's my approach as you approach me And usually I'm too focused on finding the perfect words To penetrate the simple space I provide So when beautiful girls intentionally invade my atmosphere My need for speech is satisfied Your beauty speaks sufficiently for two So while I'm struggling for oxygen, I hope you recognize Your presence is all I've ever needed to breathe easily I'm stuck Between unexpressed elegance And helplessness My mouth is screaming out But frozen completely shut I'm worried my compliments May be complications That my suggestions Might suppress my objective here We typically rely on our words To settle the score As if you and I are in overtime Of a tie ballgame Looking for phrases to frame the scoreboard With an absolute victor But I was hoping that you'd be willing to join forces To break through the proverbial force field That prohibits rivals from overthrowing obstacles Because I've always believed the input overpowers the outcome What if it were possible To eliminate our speech So our ears could erase the need to draw conclusions We don't etch our words in pencil Our words are enunciated in permanent marker Brutally beating through our eardrums Rhythmically reminding us That silence can be more sweet sounding than any set of syllables All I know is I'm hell-bent on remaining a straight shooter My arrows will always be designed for the bulls-eye But lately I've been questioning my targets They haven't been painted red and white for all the world to see They've been camouflaged by constricted communication Secretly searching for statements that haven't met the airwaves yet So I'd much rather absorb your definite thoughts Than accept your remarks as absolute    The truth is I'm not sure What needs to be said. The syllables I've learned to form Don't apply to situations where Words remain inherently absent. And too often we force our hand To make phrases appear Where they don't belong. But something about Silent speeches is appealing to me. Because the power in your eyes reduce The need for any type of sound. And the shock waves your steps make As you inch closer to mine Create the sweetest melodies. So all I will tell you is this: Let's leave words out of this.

Silent Speeches
I'm speechless That's my approach as you approach me And usually I'm too focused on finding the perfect words To penetrate the simple space I provide So when beautiful girls intentionally invade my atmosphere My need for speech is satisfied Your beauty speaks sufficiently for two So while I'm struggling for oxygen, I hope you recognize Your presence is all I've ever needed to breathe easily I'm stuck Between unexpressed elegance And helplessness My mouth is screaming out But frozen completely shut I'm worried my compliments May be complications That my suggestions Might suppress my objective here We typically rely on our words To settle the score As if you and I are in overtime Of a tie ballgame Looking for phrases to frame the scoreboard With an absolute victor But I was hoping that you'd be willing to join forces To break through the proverbial force field That prohibits rivals from overthrowing obstacles Because I've always believed the input overpowers the outcome What if it were possible To eliminate our speech So our ears could erase the need to draw conclusions We don't etch our words in pencil Our words are enunciated in permanent marker Brutally beating through our eardrums Rhythmically reminding us That silence can be more sweet sounding than any set of syllables All I know is I'm hell-bent on remaining a straight shooter My arrows will always be designed for the bulls-eye But lately I've been questioning my targets They haven't been painted red and white for all the world to see They've been camouflaged by constricted communication Secretly searching for statements that haven't met the airwaves yet So I'd much rather absorb your definite thoughts Than accept your remarks as absolute    The truth is I'm not sure What needs to be said.

Reaching out for what delivers its existence The thirsty tree extends its limbs further to the sun An encounter craved, but still valuing its bestowment Forever longing anxiously for that connection The summer winds carrying this hopeful firefly         Emitting the lonely light that calls out for another Releasing these signals in hopes of discovering you Again a flicker and finally the mate is matched Sprinting to the sea, the relentless river runs Passionately carving its way through the slighted landscape Obviously enraptured by its desirous charge Awaiting the second its frenzied rush reaches home Like the sun now churning our eager energy Overthrowing senses with this rampantly raging need Overwhelming magnetism lures us toward temptation Inescapably mesmerized by this sensation Profound in nature, driven by this timeless dance Sophisticatedly conjoining into fulfillment A base for these unbridled electrical impulses The quintessence of our fusion now realized We are the union of two wandering forces Ignition progresses affectionate meditations Quietly absorbing the synthesizing of segments Once unrelated, now entangled eternally

The Natural Progression
To be perfectly honest this was one of the more difficult poems to string together for the sheer fear of possibly jinxing it, as there appears to be a pattern to every story involving a boy and me lately, which begins with the same overrated butterflies in the stomach sensation followed by a poem, sleepless nights, cigarettes, ***** and a tragic ending. So having reached the poem stage my instincts and the part of my brain receptive to pain are already bracing themselves, I can feel them clenching in my gut.   As this three nights stand situation burns the lines between a ***** call, friendship with benefits and something to the extent of a budding romance, my expectations are protesting against being so fiercely oppressed, frankly they are getting out of control, as the dislike of not wanting to be clingy, chivalry of not wanting to subdue to any labels nor the fear of yet another heartbreak itself, are no longer sufficient to keep these rising hopes in place. Ironically, when I think of you I think more of who I become when I'm with you, than actually you, even though I do sincerely adore you. Very much. I'm bemused by how comfortable I feel in my own skin, naked and burnished, next to your warm, ivory touch. Each time you trail your fingers down my body and take in a quick breath as if you were seeing me for the very first time, I treasure the look in your eyes for later in the week when the going gets tough. I idolize your rough, blistered, bleeding palms with all its calluses for they mirror my own much subtle bruises, representing our shared interest, commitment, strength and transformation. Your new found superpower to completely eradicate my necessity to socially smoke when socializing with you, speaks for itself really, and we haven't even got to the laughter, the banter, the top notch sarcasm, the conversation, the warmest embrace, breakfast ending in a ridiculously serious spectacle of coffee making, which I thoroughly enjoy from the best seat in the kitchen wearing your shirt which fits me far more perfectly, and the skip in my step as I head home. So when the day comes for the revolution, of my expectations, overthrowing this rather tiresome governance of fear, I just might pop the question, will you be my forever one night stand? , in the hope that you might just say yes...

The sun sank in the tendrils of the winter winds Light quickly faded The long night begins What is our hope for the spring to come beyond this winter? The old rulers are dying, their grasp weakened Their desperate ****** clawing for power falters What will the youth of the world build? Overthrowing the gray tired old men with no vision Will there be a new light glowing in an abandoned barn? An opening of joy to a time of new growth? It is now dark in the cavern The animals have bowed their heads Fearing the burning world that surrounds Glaciers melting, deserts blowing Is there a song that will lead us to A new morning, Sagan's galaxy rise? With a billion suns shining? Or will we crouch in the corners again Fighting for any lethal advantage Sacrificing the world? We should pray

Solstice
High ground I concede to you in the disproportion of a time allotted to you for the choice of robe to grace a glorified cameo around your flesh like a sheet designated for an overthrowing in an honorary statue's unveiling Liturgy is looming in the bathroom already hot-boxed in the metal waterfall's mist of moisture and the mountain range of bubbles I have settled comfortably into in wait High ground awaits your hallowed prance into the concealed languish of your man's dangling imagination I salute you with incentive through a lowering of eyes made necessary by your towering above my horizontal soak I'm beseeching you to wield royal sway over the humility of my reclined posture with the hidden scepter of your body fated to dictate the pace of my anticipated knighting The gentle thud of fabric on linoleum incites a turning of my head to take in the litany of parts available to my frenetic feels and jumbled focus Stationary in your naked smile of proximity you extend to me excessive time to entertain options as I coat myself in lukewarm opportunities and rise to meet you for a bathing in my excess wetness I accelerate my exit to negate the bubbled tribuataries sliding to the floor to meet the remnants of your mystery The wall is cold and you protrude haplessly to meet the rapid chilling of my undried frame Warmth is of the essence Fingers split your hair in celebration of our uniform heights and I feel you slouch signalling our first hint of friction and a twitch in my diviner of your cradle of essential warmth Do you realize you now rescind creative license? Or have you filled the snare of your intentions? Now your balance shivers in the mercy of my curled leg of leverage and an coiled arm collecting your ambrosial attributes like an ice cream scoop Uniform heights allowing eye contact makes optional the visual acknowledgment of my elastic hunting in the smooth field of your breast with a dancing thumb I connect and latch onto what is now our binding axis and shuffle eye contact with the universal rhythm of a pelvic power ballad

The moon, a sweeping scimitar, dipped in the stormy straits, The dawn, a crimson cataract, burst through the eastern gates, The cliffs were robed in scarlet, the sands were cinnabar, Where first two men spread wings for flight and dared the hawk afar. There stands the cunning workman, the crafty past all praise, The man who chained the Minotaur, the man who built the Maze. His young son is beside him and the boy's face is a light, A light of dawn and wonder and of valor infinite. Their great vans beat the cloven air, like eagles they mount up, Motes in the wine of morning, specks in a crystal cup, And lest his wings should melt apace old Daedalus flies low, But Icarus beats up, beats up, he goes where lightnings go. He cares no more for warnings, he rushes through the sky, Braving the crags of ether, daring the gods on high, Black 'gainst the crimson sunset, golden o'er cloudy snows, With all Adventure in his heart the first winged man arose. Dropping gold, dropping gold, where the mists of morning rolled, On he kept his way undaunted, though his breaths were stabs of cold, Through the mystery of dawning that no mortal may behold. Now he shouts, now he sings in the rapture of his wings, And his great heart burns intenser with the strength of his desire, As he circles like a swallow, wheeling, flaming, gyre on gyre. Gazing straight at the sun, half his pilgrimage is done, And he staggers for a moment, hurries on, reels backward, swerves In a rain of scattered feathers as he falls in broken curves. Icarus, Icarus, though the end is piteous, Yet forever, yea, forever we shall see thee rising thus, See the first supernal glory, not the ruin hideous. You were Man, you who ran farther than our eyes can scan, Man absurd, gigantic, eager for impossible Romance, Overthrowing all Hell's legions with one warped and broken lance. On the highest steeps of Space he will have his dwelling-place, In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath. Floating downward, very clear, still the echoes reach the ear Of a little tune he whistles and a little song he sings, Mounting, mounting still, triumphant, on his torn and broken wings!

Winged Man

A loose brick in a castle wall allows the wind to seep through, Carrying with it the whispers of the outsiders The soft spoken words influence the beings within They begin to come alive and demand to be free'd Overthrowing the king and breaking down the wall All protection is lost now, through the rubble they crawl Out into the world With no fear of rejection.

Rejection.
On that western isle, bathed in gold- Drenching sun, my only, giddy love, Weaved a daisy chain and crowned Herself, above the clouds and purple- Violet seas, her grace, topping yellow- Sparkled weeds, to flower, marching In fealty, round her red, reign of crown, Soon, after new mornings impromptu Coronation, misty, bluer, eyes felt slow Distant dread, the subtle, burning fate, The inevitable nights of overthrowing And fade of love's noble, corona light. Were I shaper of dream, I would build A grand labyrinthian castle of granite Stone to contain that day— I would Conjure a moat, impervious to shifting Time, the mute corruption of sorrows Waking.

Darkness sets in with mankind, throughout time words will transform the inferior man into the superior man. The age of name calling will emerge. Barbarian, savages, uncivil, Let me stop for a second... Telling the world another man is unimportant shouldnt take away the fact that he is still a man. Name callers need peace while overthrowing others who also play a role in mankind by dissecting their own consciousness. They have a need to belittle,   discredit, transform, transform into something greater, even though it's all in the mind that one is greater. Truth be told wars are pushed forward to the masses by name calling the enemy, Imagine looking a man in his eyes and calling him a cockroach, for whatever reason one will feel like he is now squashing a bug, yet no bug is present. History will tell a story about mankind no matter the name.

Fabricated Respect
I've been quite busy of late, Work and life got me in that state. Poetry got put on hold for the time being, But an observation and a chance encounter got the poet bleeding. This little flower I saw standing strong and shining bright, Smiling and dancing in the bright sunlight. From a bud to blooming and bursting with energy, This little yellow flower making use of the soil and water synergy. Then came a day where a little worm came her way, Caressed her delicate little petals and made her sway, His words rang through her senses and made her petals flutter, Little did she know his dark intentions were from the gutter. He talked about the little details of her beauty, This poor little thing fell for cutie patootie. Then one day without any warning, He started nipping at her petals after adorning. She thought it was not intentional as he pleaded forgiveness, But then he started nipping, biting and eating with swiftness. She bore all the pain as he continued with filling his tummy, She thought he would soon go back to being her lovesick dummy. Down to the last leaf she was when the wind started blowing, Off the worm flew , the wind his fat overgrown body overthrowing. With time her beauty she restored to her past glory, Took care and made sure she did not fall for the same story. Along came a bee buzzing his way in, With her every move his heart over n over she would win. He tried to make conversation with this pretty little thing, Tell her how he felt about her and got him buzzing. Her scars grew red again from her past encounter, Fearing this moment she had built walls around her. Her response to this stranger was heartless and cold, Any advances he'd make she'd curl into herself and enfold. No matter how much he tried to convince her, Her walls wouldn't budge, for him to deter. All he wanted to do was be with her, But at this point everything was so blur. She had advanced in life far ahead, Achieved what she dreamt of in nature's bed. Confident and bold she had become in this time, Love was all she was left to fear of that feeling sublime. The bee continued and never gave up, Every morning to her sweet face he wanted to wake up, Seeing his stubbornness something changed within her that day, A leap of faith she took the walls breaking away. Had she not, she wouldn't really know, A fruit she would transform into with a lovely glow. Love has been given a bad name by a filthy few, But with the right person it can be sweeter than honey dew.

*The thing about love is that      It is strategically tragic, Built to last, made to make you feel, Feel good and alive, to feel enough,      Gracefully and sudden Like a gentle kiss, the spreading Of wings of the soul, the fall      Of listless stars, but           Just as lasting. I do not know what else to feel Upon seeing this ocean, except To remember you with the same      Natural feeling, inexplicable, Like the color blue catches on      With the bleach of white, Aiming to accentuate, searching      For the old burn of red           In vain. And beauty is felt more      Than it is seen. Eyes have Seen more than they have rested, And they have seen things best,      While they are closed. More than sorrow, pain and suffering, More than sure looped-goodbyes,      It is the serendipitous affection That rules over all, overthrowing The flowing madness of passing worlds, Passing all the lovers by, mad enough,      And mad still, yet the fight           Is worth loving for. Love is worth fighting with. Life is worth it. Love Is priceless, yet, I love you A little less      Than love itself. Love never grew, it just stays beside, Just beside, them, us, blown      By the havoc of life, fate and time, Drifting amongst the drifters Surrounding us, dizzied,      Ever-tested, enduring all.* © 2015 J.S.P.

I am A feather duster. Clogged with fears and Fluffy cobwebs How odd There is no more me Only more It. A thing a material kind of demeanour fling slash overthrowing one night plastic wonder And I have found myself hiding beneath oblivion and a cheap stock price Renewed, exchanged changed paid with loose change a chain of recurring events Money making plays me out of my hiding spot And I gross in all vastness the price times infinite of what it took to create me The other feather dusters they would be ashamed to have me sitting with them Because I cannot begin to stop wanting more More than an item of plastic. a.l.h

The feather duster
Father sees in secret Praying in the closet To let the cup pass on Fulfilling not destroying The curse of family units To let the cup pass on Planting mustard seeds Overthrowing tetrarchs To let the cup pass on People full of dead men’s bones A generation of vipers To let the cup pass on Wailing and gnashing Once it’s 70 x 7 To let the cup pass on Convert to little children Align your heart and mouth To let the cup pass on He who isn’t with me Is surely against me So let the cup pass on

Nothing lasts long enough To out live its time line So I weave mine into A concert celebrating the sound That our bodies beat to This organic clockwork armada Of single cell ships singing lions roars Before time aligns my spine with the dirt And though I know gray hair will claim crowns Overthrowing the royalty of youth These ball headed blessings Are nothing more then a water park river slide We must all ride toward oblivion So my fatal flawed form Speaks a beautiful broken clock symphony For these poems to fill up Facing the future as if it was an old friend To bed down with Laughing at how long it’s been Since we claimed tomorrow As a carpe diem doctrine To rock in And I hope that when the waterfall of my life Meets rock-bottom-spray-mist-rainbow-prism-old-age-epiphany   My grandchildren will cling to me Like vines to a towering oak tree So I can whisper to them through a white Walt Whitman mane "I may be a washed up old lion But you You are the roar of a crescendo To an aria arranged before the birth of music As if each note was placed purposely to hang in harmony With the budding of your bones They sing in the same key as the fickler flashbulbs Of the stars you were forged in Who sweet talk to you in your sleep nightly"   Saying         Listen my lovelies         To the lullaby of the universe         As it sings itself toward salvation Which when translated into night         Says come gather your dreams         In the concert of my body Babies You were born         As a single rift         In the solo Of some Charlie parker bird flight ascension So let this bedtime word weaving remind you of the halo about your head For you Were born as angels Back when the big bang band first leaned how to blow So if you stagnate          Like we all do Fearing that you are all alone in the prison cell of your skin Remember the old lions still roaring in your gut Listen close         For there has never been a moment of silence         And there will never been a moment of silence Cause there is music buried beneath your bones my children Come sing in the choir of your forefathers the winds         Your solo is about to begin

Aria to Everyone
I.

On that western isle, bathed in gold- Drenching sun, my only, giddy love, Weaved a daisy chain and crowned Herself, above the clouds and purple- Violet seas, her grace, topping yellow- Sparkled weeds, to flower, marching In fealty, round her red, reign of crown, Soon, after new mornings impromptu Coronation, misty, bluer, eyes felt slow Distant dread, the subtle, burning fate, The inevitable nights of overthrowing And fade of love's noble, corona light. Were I shaper of dream, I would build A grand labyrinthian castle of granite Stone to contain that day— I would Conjure a moat, impervious to shifting Time, the mute corruption of sorrows Waking.

Princess of Aran
Life, be not arrogant, though some have called thee Terrifying and delighting, thou art so; sowing random confusion, Overthrowing mortals with unequal puzzles of both extremes, Humans, condemned, to collect travails, improvident provisions, Live, Life! But only through us, for thy are slave to imprecisions, conflated constant reversible, the free choice of souls' decisions, Random and inopportune, thy bedeviling choice of hurdles, Our swelled heads so vulnerable to robbers and roadblocks, But cannot thou onfess, rare is thy victory, oft thy defeat. Until we meet thy comrade in arms, our paths irregular coursing, Of our own choice, so acknowledge thou makest our path to veer, Impotent prince, 'tis always our hands, arms upon the tiller to steer.

Dueling Sonnets: Death, be not proud by John Donne/Life, be not arrogant by Nat Lipstadt
fuzzy buzzy flickering light fixtures court me for days - tired, unlatched and in a daze broken hinges hang from untapped doorways, painted with shattered looking glasses and laces overthrowing unseen faces crawling at ungodly paces, blind red rages boil over onto sentient pages to die on unlit stages, reeking with rows of rotting audiences, decomposing millions of masterpieces. sleepless death undertaken, like a sorry soul, to a hole new level six breaths under reborn into a dogs tail clenched between it's own teeth.

i stop at the t-junction between your throat and your collarbone loving people with a t-suppliment overthrowing any judgement you forced me up and squeezed lemon juice down my throat i'm pretending that this was never real but feeling my skin flake and peel do you ever miss the pain of a new scar? because there is too much space between my fingers and it feels raw and unwelcome. there is something alluring about unraveling string- loose ends splitting and breaking forever vanishing into oblivion

Princess of Aran
People don't know it, but I'm subtly overthrowing the world. I'm in the process of rewriting reality; of changing global paradigms. Maybe people don't realize it, but the world changes every day, and so do they. I'm a catalyst of that change; I'm commissioned with vision; I choose to follow. People don't know it, but I'm subtly overthrowing the world with love.

Subtly Overthrowing the World
Torn down by television, poisoned by *********** raked by regret and bludgeoned by biography. Anything but retrospect will happen in your head. It's crammed full to shut it up then sent to bed. There are the loudest of riots happening in your brain. Dictators overthrowing sense and establishing reign! And you fund them in all of their their warfare! I can no longer in good consciense send my words there. You struggle as a product of your fight and the proof is this: The words are useless.
