nature,
superfluous drizzle
this tranquil cottage scene
April’s meadowlark sigh
sweetly symphonic slopes
green glistened gradient
hillside reeds rejoice flat
rejuvenation blessed
by philanthropic sun
illustrious wisdom
showers ivory slates
of winter remembrance
villagers swim downstream
lips kiss glimmered ripples
madly in love with reflections
how quickly forgotten
all quickly forgiven
natural mortality rates
the river wisely runs
babbles off mortified
naturally misanthropic
immortal tethers rein
superfluous drizzle

a love supreme...
laboring through the trials
of day
and the weeping pains
of night—
from the quarry of life
we hewed out the stone
of romance
chiseling away
its superfluous edges
we sculpt a love supreme
accepting and respecting
differences
embracing
our oneness
our togetherness—
ours is:
a love supreme...
a love supreme...
a love supreme...

I am acetylcholine
I am self-aware
I am norepinephrine
I am energy
I am serotonin
I am emotion
I am GABA
I am pain
I am dopamine
I am pleasure
I am an ancestral soup
Of neurochemical harmony
My steps are predetermined
There are no choices
There is no truth
Faith is superfluous
Hope is an illusion
Love is obviated
I am

Superfluous words
are not needed from my love
his embrace is all
by Jenna-Nichole Conrad |
Categories:
angst, dedication, depression, introspection, life, love, nostalgia, passion, sorry,
A dance of death, a greedy chore
Trapped inside these creature comforts;
A chance of life may become a bore
Outside this pleasantly right hurt.
But, soft and fair, though, of the skin,
In flesh a silent malice lies
Dormant, unnoticed, not used in
Context. Still, touch me as day dies.
And you, a ghost I cannot touch
By reaching out to Heart or mind,
Caught up in this sweetly rush-
Jaded: Nothing else left to find.
Superfluous and flushed, we breath
In gusts, unable to be free.

loneliness, lost love,
Yesterday saw her a bubbly girl,
Standing before the mirror,
That would admire and applaud,
Her face wore a smile of surfeit,
His love apparent in her deep eyes,
That She would go nuts about ,
Her long silky hair touched her knees,
Perfect that fatness would suffice !
But today she is standing desolate,
Ripped of all her beauty and joys,
Down in the dumps starved and craving,
Shaken soul is inconsolable,
Love that vanished as shuddered mountains,
Dark clouds engulf and hues of deep blue,
Emptiness constantly eats her to skeleton,
Superfluous is the Vacuity in her watery eyes !

GIVER OF LIFE
Her damp books in boxes,
Lovingly dried and pressed
At home on new shelves
Survivor sparrow
One-legged from cat attack,
Nurtured in a shoe box with crumbs.
Pensioner hamster
Superfluous to school pet-needs,
Straw-warmed in the garage.
Kids from beer-bottle bedrooms
On the periphery of love,
Made central again.
A homeless home where misfits fit.
Where she laughs lightly,
New life is breathed.

'O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than Nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beast's!'
~ King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4
The truth is simple
We are in love
What need we
creamsicle sunrises
or pink turtledoves
Our hearts beat as one
As each day is run
Wherefore wish for
magenta sunsets
or gossamer nets
Love's in our thoughts
~ Our needs are naught

The Elixir of Life we all need to sup
A teaspoon a day to cheer us all up
Our world is such a beautiful place
But evil spirits inhabit this space
If only by drinking the Elixir of Life
Like a magical potion; like waving a wand
A sprinkling of fairy dust sparkling on all of us
To change human nature; evil spirits superfluous
Banishing cruelty and sin and malevolence
Bringing back kindness and love and pure innocence
But sadly there is no magical potion
Just a whimsical fantasy - a far-fetched notion

money,
They make marriage a priority,
And forget the necessity,
Love fade, love vanished
Money radiate vivacity,
Make money, marry your equal,
Let it be superfluous, it command obedience
Don't marry in poverty,
is disastrous, ruinous and lethal,
It tattered your soul and lead you to pang
Don't believe in their motivations,
Money is happiness,
Make money and see obedience.

beautiful, blessing, character, cute, desire, universe, visionary,
As weakening as the sleep paralysis
You creep in unexpectedly
Making me weak everytime
Your words makes everything seem superfluous
Making me think I've not been alive till now
Your sweet tongue tames me
Your sultry eyes ignites a fire in my heart
Making my heart soft as the fur of a chinchilla
Sending shivers down my spine everytime
Your love rubs off on me
One could swear it's notoriously contagious
Because I've learnt from you
How to be a sweetheart

devotion, for her, love, romance, romantic, woman, women,
Happiness is easily found in a multitude of the sweetest components
Grateful for you, often swept from the feats, of our hours, sharring meaningful moments
Your citrines comprised burning bright; scorching everywhere
As an orbited sphere; willed they are a perfect solar flare
Climbing a summit inside my thoughts; that is all you
Beside me, you wrap me up while we both enjoy the view
One could mine for eternity; excavating nothing valued; seeking a gem worthy of a crown
But, I would stop digging at the surface of the earth; if it matched your eyes, superfluous shade of brown

love,
Your love for me has been far too smothering and superfluous.
Your light in my spiritual path was so luminous.
Now after all this time, I am left blinded by hubris.
