Best Impenetrable Poems
Impenetrable Barrier
I shot a bazooka at it, but
was not able to put a dent
in your impenetrable barrier.
Whatever is behind that barrier
I see that you are prepared
to defend it at all costs.
But what if that barrier is keeping
you from what you so desperately
long to receive?
Then again, maybe it’s not
the whole barrier that may
need to be removed.
Maybe it’s just certain layers,
layers that can only be removed
in a place of humility.
Some barriers are great to have.
Some barriers are necessary.
However there are some barriers
that are just as destructive
as they are protective
How do you know the difference?
I know a King named Jesus,
Willing to give of His perfect
wisdom and discernment
to all willing to receive.
He can show you which layers of your
barrier need to stay, and
which ones need to go.
He can show you which layers
are useful, but may need to
be modified a bit.
He is able and willing to give this
wisdom and discernment
to all willing to receive.
But I will give delightful caution.
He will keep it coming for a
lifetime.
I love the sweet violins of my world
That issue the clandestine tunes,
To soothe my nerves and quench
My desires spooky and strange;
I love the forlorn sight of the sand dunes
That adorn the arid spots of my life,
Tucked away from cacophony and strife:
The secateurs that the tree of wisdom prunes;
I rejoice in the tranquil quiet of lofty minds
And the treasured solitudes of all kinds;
A refuge from fuss and bustle that ruins.
Form:
Beneath the blanket of dreams, impenetrable nights, you have reason to cry,
Our bastions of hope are now but ruins and deserted streets,
The walls of the heart that seemed fortresses stand ready to fall, one by one.
I erred, a whisper in the ether, a phantom in the sweet realm of memory.
Weep, my love, in the echoes of the evening, weep as the day crumbles,
Stretch your tears along the thread of time, beads of invaluable sorrow,
We tread in the wake of the stars we promised to keep alight,
And let the fog of forgetfulness swallow them, one by one, into the abyss of indifference.
I now wander, prisoner in the labyrinth of my own mistakes,
I confess, with faltering words, that our balance's sentinel has wearied,
When promises broke, as rose petals detach
From the stem of pride, leaving only the thorns, sharp and cold.
You have every reason, oh, you have all reasons, in the cool of the descending evening,
To strew the ashes of my errors in the path of barefoot steps,
In the twilight that unfolds its salvific melancholy toward us,
You have cause to embrace your soul overrun by fleeting disillusionments.
The echo of your steps in the silver forest of memories resounds,
The lament of silence, blossoming in a dance of our absence,
The rustling of leaves of longing is to me both symphony and reproach,
For I have committed the sin of negligence under the high vault of the bitter sky.
Cry, for whom to cast the syllables of your sigh into scattered seasons,
And let nature lay its pain upon the seraphic wings of mornings,
Building with each tear a sanctuary of our memories,
Where I shall remain, forever a tolling bell between what we were and what we lost.
It would be so wonderful
to break into the impenetrable heart of Irene
who opposes my advance and feels serene;
what is the reason for her resistance?
Am I not what she expects in essence,
or even a liar so deceitful?
No woman's hand I have touched
and smeared it with any impurity,
I have always loved passionately;
given all and proud of what I did!
To break into the impenetrable heart of Irene
is harder than convincing a drunken fool to believe in dreams;
I didn't ask for loneliness and stare at a clock that gleams...
I should have listened to the advice of Josephine!
Why is there a reminder of Ruth,
of that affair that ended in August;
is it anger or distrust...
if I have clearly led out
my intentions and plans
on the platter of simple truth?
ah, my many attempts
have not been worth it!
To break into the impenetrable heart of Irene,
one must be rich and willing to buy her precious diamonds;
sadly, she has traded money for faithfulness;
I often wonder if she misses my touch in a sensual scene!
Impenetrable fortresses constructed from stones made of regret,
reinforced with the concrete of mistakes we can't let go or forget.
Confined within these walls only you and your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves.
As dark clouds gather in the sky
Down where the river narrows
And Sprewell Bluff's craggy rocks rise
Great blue heron has flown and the sparrow
The river speedily flows on by
Its color no more red
But back to its normal brownish green
Washing rocks on the river bed
The gnarled sweet gum still stands 'pon roots
No longer attached to land
Most of its leaves now have turned red
Which will fall on the current or sand
A warm fall day with high moisture
Just enough to be uncomfortable
Yet~somehow a good feeling formed
Even his talk my thoughts impenetrable
“See you soon ok ?”
softly, like I had a choice;
Impenetrable;
As if you could be severed,
I could never say goodbye.
I know this is temporary
But it doesn’t ease the pain,
Faking who I am for now
Pushing those feelings down again.
The repercussions of doing this
Already fills my head with doubt,
Forcing myself to be present
When I just want to sit this one out.
I can’t pre-empt the future
But if I’m just going from my past,
My world will crash all over again
And I’ll be feeling like an outcast.
If I’ve had the strength to fake this
Why can’t I do this everyday?
I know I possibly could but
It’s exhausting in every possible way.
This disconnecting feeling
Is making my world feel quite small,
Friends and family become strangers
As I build up this impenetrable wall.
