Best Impaired Poems

All the fingers wait
raised, spread
and the flexes start
the bends
the creeps and crawls

All the fruit laid before you
the knife cuts
uncovers concealed
scents and flesh

All the linen,
folded in crisp creases
your all-seeing eye
unwraps ruthlessly
one crumb grounded
in one corner
one drop of red

One snowflake carries
so many crystals
inifinitely perfect
They disappear
before you decide...

I wish I could grow a bit
so my legs and jeans would fit
without using sewing kits or iron hem
just once them jeans would fit.

I wish I was five foot four

S-peak not the truth, pleasant or not,
I-n my mouth, silence resounds;
G-ive me your smile and not a frown,
N-od your head and I’ll understand.

L-ift up my spirit as I do the rest,
A-ccept me for what I am and my weaknesses,
N-eeding your special love, care and sweetness,
G-od...

I despair from the invisible thorns,
Inflicted on me by the forces of hurt
I desire to flee beyond,
from within the ****** of crossroads

Sweet pain!
I've come to see.

I’m trapped in a fortress as thick as steel
The puzzle called earth plays me, like poker
I flaunt my guts in...

Does it really matter that i conform to the norms of the day?
What perfect blueprint is there for the journey called life?
Who are you to chastise me for being filled with flaws?
Only one was made perfect.
who deems it otherwise?
Who made you judge and jury over...

It’s quite sweet to be with her
Her height will bring me a blur
Growing tall a mystery
Short, she’s a puppy

Become a Tennis VIP,
A Visually Impaired Player - just like me,
No matter how your sight loss occurred,
Your vision black, incomplete, or blurred,
With adapted rules and cool soundball,
It’s a great sport - designed to suit all,
Don’t question your abilities, or be shy,
Just join in the fun...

ONE IMPAIRED FATHER REARED BY HIS SON
or
AN EXPANDED EXPLANATION

Oh how I wish I’d been a father like him
Rather than a father whose future was duly dark and dim
I raised my son in the starkness of a future filled with fear
 A wondrous young son a...

Darkness lures above and under,
Light is no where to be seen,
Scared of what I can not hear,
 Frightened of what I can not see,

Maybe if I tried harder,
Maybe if I prayed to God,
Maybe if I screamed and hollered,
Someone could show me what's wrong,

After all my...

for some it is true vision
the kind used with the eyes
but in this path of life
with all of its joy and strife
therer's higher purpose in disguise...

 one fine day, it wasn't really fine
the clock hit stride, I found myself crying

Things were upside down, taking an ugly turn
I was ready to stand up, but it was a painful burn

riled up with thoughts, shaken with the hate
things started to happen, which I...

Trump Became Mentally Impaired

About anyone at all Trump never cared,
And he has become mentally impaired;
To world blow,
We do know;
All those around to death surely scared.
