Impulses Poems | Examples

Impulses

eyes met, magnetic, melting every fear, thirst quenching
as the stars left a dewy trail on the twilight
flowing in secret rhythms of heartfelt passions
stirring awake the feelings reflected in this tender gaze

Impulses

  impish impulses
  sweep over me
  one more preposterous
  than the next

  I think I’ll take 
  the plunge and see
  if I can act on them 
  without context

Impulses In Zenith

lizards mating die in electric lines
snakes coil hibernate lay eggs ---
dogs die crossing highways

same could be said of every animal
none is great when impulse strikes ---
could man claim exception?

Impulses

The scarecrow is stylish
with its yellow umbrella
and new bucket,
but the young man jogging past isn't impressed,
and despite future conversations
with the parish priest,
plucks an ear of corn
to carry home.

Celebrating Impulses

The huntsman’s horn in
The School Boy is non-
native. But he likes the 

poem, hears a snake-
charmer’s pipe vicariously,
empathizes with Blake’s

boy’s love of  innate 
freedom, and then doodles
in boredom. Next period,

he slips down from
the top of Pythagorean 
theorem. He snoozes in

the Neolithic Age at noon. 
His brain balks at learning.
Teachers avoid pain with

peace of passivity. **** 
virus infects his inner 
system. Parents are too 

busy to install anti-virus. 
He draws obscene pictures
with a charcoal, as if raping 

the urinal wall. He rises
up in the hashish fumes
and floats in the space. 

Holes in the thought-layer are 
invisible to him. He runs 
wild, celebrating impulses.

An unrefined man is
a malignant growth
from the negligence.

Impulses

Spur of the moment

lifetime of regrets

Impulses

Impulses
Electric Signals flaming through my brain
Thoughts are flashing by my eyes so quickly
I fear that my mind is going insane.
A flash of sanity hits me like a hammer
I see the replay from the visions of my past
My mind is warning me not to be in haste 
Becoming that nervous wreck 
On the high way of life that is racing through 
the all-to-familiar lanes of heck.
I force out the tears and then laugh off the extreme energies
that had tried to hold me down 
I flash out and upward like Batman
Chaining down the Demons trying to push down my head and allow my soul to drown.
I beat them down.
I show them who's boss.
Now, even the devil is scared.
The superhero that is my strong spirit
Hits the continuation of this trip
Going past the insanity
Happily, with my friends, they remind me to "Keep with it."

Impulses

Musty
Creepy
Dark hallways
My silent room
The moans groaned louder...
Louder...
Louder...
With every tick of the clock

Frustrated
And anxious
I paced around
Impulses crept up slowly...
Slowly...
Slowly...
Until I called her up

Impulses

Ink words of cheer when fear brings dread,
Move faith right here to purge afraid.


Prompt poise to pun with turn of wit,
Urge noise to run when joy now fits.


Live in the light so dark can't stay,
Set then your sights on zest that plays.


Etch a fond thrill as you smile now,
Style a sure will as gap endows.

Impulses

Spring styles sweet smiles
Move massive miles


Charm  confronts clay
Pick poignant play


Bright blossoms bear
Wonder weaves wares


Reap rich rapture
Calm choice captures


Gain gracious grounds
Speak sensuous sounds


Leave lasting looks
Bright blooming book


Verse vital voice
Caress clear choice


Bright blessings bloom
Rich rapture rooms


Frame fiery feel
Touch tender thrill

Impulses

Love fills my sights with vivid joy,
Observe the flow of simple things;
Voice now feels light as play brings ploys,
Echoes tint show in placid flings;
Live then the sway of profound times,
Yield to the pulse that comes to be.
Intuit the way to sound fine rhymes,
Mind seeds impulse in thoughts that free;
Pleasures sign deep within mere thought,
Use follows urge in timeless routes;
Life beyond sleep frames a new plot,
Surge fits the merge within quaint shout;
Embrace the change that seems so strange,
Soar with the strange in endless change.
