Best Impeding Poems

A. W. Nutter

Fog from my breath in the way
Temporarily impeding my vision
A small lamp, illuminates my prey
Unaware, of his impending execution

Rons wife, conveniently out of town
Visiting a sick relative, her perfect alibi
She must really despise this clown
I wonder if she kissed the fool goodbye

Staying in...

Blank white paper
Infinite hope, endless promise 
An inspirational instrument

The artists canvas and lawmakers device
How an absent lover expresses love so precise

So much to say, I’m intimidated by its potential
Fearful to express my true self to you
Or to people exponential

Fear is a disease
A disease impeding me...

“The Fallen”



Remote,
he sees himself 
in the reflection of cold close 
yet distant shop windows, 
his final journey along the 
Hard Time Road
walking alone, 
unforgiven, no home
for the rest of his natural life 
a million knives 
embedded impeding 
words wrapped around him
all bleeding 
lacerated unseen,
invisible to...

For I am departing tomorrow and the sun shall gleam, 
the eventide shall ascend and the moon shall beam.
Forget me not when I wither away, yet please remind
yourself that I am in heaven where the stars have aligned. 
I pray to all of you I...

This night of misery my essence rapidly descending
Tears like summer rain cascading
O for this dark wintry night prolong
Breaking heart aches so forlorn

Circumstance, distance always impeding 
In silence apprehensive heart conceding 
Devoid of sustenance waiting in anguish
Quiescent alone in sorrow I languish

As posts interweave deferring
Father Time...

Beyond Despair

     
                 despair 
          heavy, discordant
    stomping, injuring, impeding
  stamina, outlook,...

Stress arrives uninvited,
And comes empty handed too.
It monopolizes all of your time,
And demands all attention from you.

It's a guest that comes and stays too long,
So just don't let him in.
You are the one who stands at the door,
So refuse to open to him.

Instead open up...

Eerily absent at first
    neither dormant nor lurking
  Even at maturation and beyond
    neither networking nor smirking

  In stealthy pursuit, it may produce
    a twinge here, a creak there
  Nothing serioius

With a load of worries on your shoulders
You dolefully trudge on your path of life
Evading any ditches or impeding boulders
craving for a life free of stress and strife.

But then someone cuts right in front of you
Shoves his faith in your face and his views
And wouldn't...

I was born in 1943
in a rural backwater safe from the bombs
also a safety net still akin to the 19th century.
Neither electricity nor gas
only an old oil lamp and candles for comfort.
The luxury of the tin bath once a week
brought in from the scullery, placed...

I'm slinging dope rhymes from grams to kilos at times. 
Committing felony crimes weight of these lines. 
My word's hold weights of digital scales an 
impale compared to Harvard & Yale. 

Life's fanatics dramatics of adicitts.
Here's to the intense & immense headrush 
face turns blush...

Change the story 
These words kept ringing in my ears
Change the story
That's not what people want to hear
Every morning you  saturate the airwaves
with  insentient and agonizing words
disdaining my intelligence
and rekindling a treacherous fire
You have gone down that road before
stirring up fear and doubt
Impeding...

In the very warm May' afternoon,
I decided to take a stroll instead of being blue,
and getting a little adventurous was to discover
another pansy or violet bloom;
these flowers were the precious gifts of a little and frivolous lover, 
who gave them to the prettiest ones who...

The battlefield is eerily quiet
waiting for the impeding war
for the roar of battle
for the blood that will be poured
for the tears to be shed
will power on will power
determination against determination
opposing sides begin their descent 
one side clinging to hope of getting back 
what was lost
what...

Double dynamics in aesthetics 
of life's wicked minds 
provocative abstract 
crimes unique designs 
provoking mind with twice

Double scripts in life's 
wicked flips three verbs & throwing nothing but reverb.
Twice the lyrical lines, 
avast steer clear of this 
lyrical pioneer with mystical lines 
futuristic rhymes...
