You are
my six minute
slow dance 
in the rain....

Impulse 59
I leap because 
there is no ground, 

That is why
I leap.

Because the sun 
is fading, and
my night is 
without you.

So I leap....

Instead of reasoning
I yield to a sudden
irresistible urge.
Impetuously, with
impunity I risk
injury. Am I an
idiot or hero?

Premium Member Initiating Impulse
Specific does do be this carrier wave
It was simply completed by thought
Around the world it will be the rave
Putting to an end all that had fought
In each individual to save
 The incoming blast all will be caught
Now initiating brand new rays
All that it requires is...

Defective Impulse Control
Like you feel the pinch throb
then consider procedure

Weighing the circumstances
Calculating the outcomes

But the plight beats
driven the wrong way...

You know not to
but then continue and finish
Then stop then restart
and continue and not finish.

Open endings are so...
What the pageant loses sight of
and the world claims to die...

Premium Member Her Frightening Impulse
Within her mind suicidal thoughts fester
Would she have the strength to continue?

With unfaithful love from a jester
Inside her mind suicidal thoughts test her
With love our good Lord had not blessed her
Collecting her thoughts, she just walked away blue

Within her mind suicidal thoughts fester
Would she have...

Lived over a Brooklyn Deli
In that abode
He penned his Ode
To Peanut Butter and Jelly...

Premium Member Nature's Loving Impulse
"The soul of Nature, echoes endlessly 
through the infinite rhythmic tick tock of the seasons."

 Quote_by Poet


Dawn awakes as it was given a brush 
And a palette of watercolors nurturing nature 
Undecided as for spring, summer, fall, or winter. 
A blending of warm lemons into...

Demonic Impulse
Some people say it claws its way out the artist like a demon
As if ripping his soul instead of flesh
Then fervor bursts like blood
So that a painting anthropomorphizes
How then will the canvas look like
If the stirring’s wreaked by the lord of hell?
How will the music...

Impulse 53
I didn’t pick you to be
my muse, the same way 
you don’t decide
to fall in love. Love isn’t
“alright, I’m ready to
give everything I got 
for you.” Love is “no
matter how hard I try,
I can’t get your damn
face out of my head,
and I really want to...

Impulse 44
I thought to myself, if I could draw, 
I’d draw this. But I can’t so I won’t. 
Instead I’ll try to describe it. It’s kind 
of like realizing you were okay after 
all; after this not-so-tragic tragedy, 
you were fine. It’s like a sigh of...

Ink Impulse
Adorned feelings, inspired,
Nonchalance and serenity acquired,
Lucidity and clarity desired,
In ink, mired,

A forever-ignited fire…...

Premium Member Impulse
Words have a way
That work thoughts strange,
Work frames the stay
Of thoughts that change.


Change wears a face
That hurts old pride,
Choice and poise trace
Progress and ride.


Feel how you feel
Dare to be bold,
Grand thoughts can heal
Live warm not cold.


For each verse rhyme
That seems to glow,
There are dead chimes
That...

Galileo To Kirk
Mayday, Mayday Kirk!
Transport to Galileo
Needs energizing

Running on impulse
All deflector shields are down
And venting plasma

Possible core breech
Romulan battle cruiser
De-cloaked and attacked

They've taken the ship
Corbomite Maneuver may
Be the last resort......
