Obstructions Poems | Examples

Transit Authority

Free forms in movement
Dept of transit

Overhauled movement of poor life during isolation

Isolation instructions still in assembled bills as job requirements

Obstructions are final. Finite mathematics stills speech and range of motion
Counter intuitive approach to data modeled in hmis privacy act census

I'm a normal function inside of integral limit with derivative market extortion
On vista bus from Ventura government building towards thousand oaks the absence of New York life is laws

If = x

If I cannot
X can

The judicatory system

The judicatory system 
Wants to defend the crime

Complex justice obstructions
I cannot find the right rhyme   

Believe you are in democracy 
Equality you believe 

What for does exist the competence

If I'd be considering this 

If I would be considering 
Opinion of yours 
And you 're naive and stupid  
I will have resource

Stop look listen think

Why don't you live your life like your crossing the road
You know you don't have to carry such a heavy load

Stop look listen think

The road your on is full of obstructions
Leading you on too dead end destruction

Stop look listen think

When you were a child weren't you taught how to navigate safely
Can't you see the warning signs all around
Life shouldn't be a battleground

Stop look listen think

If you meditate on the path that you follow
Maybe life wouldn't feel so hollow

Stop look at the wonders to behold
Listen let your mind unfold
Think before you come to the junction
Maybe life will have a clearer function.

Sometimes

Sometimes when you walk down a path it gets narrow and maybe even, you have to turn sideways to squeeze past some obstructions. Relationships are like that on occasion.
Other times the way ahead broadens into a magnificent vista; a field of poppies or vivid heathers that smell divine and our refreshed perspective is inspiring in it's clarity and optimism.
I feel like if I was to take a friendly hand in that moment, beyond the narrow, restricted season and into the fresh, vibrant, sunlit warmth, I would like that friendly hand to be yours. Is that possible?
In my imagination yours is not just the soft, delicate hand of friendship.. it is the hand of affirmation, the hand of acceptance, the hand of belonging. In my whirling mind there is a new moment, a beautifully crafted human act, allowing another to draw alongside and acknowledge their presence in this world with tender togetherness.
Not just the warm skin of a hand, but a universe of questions finds an answer.

Moving Mountains

Mountains are part of life’s journey,
They’re obstructions that separate us from our treasures,
They’re impediments that divide us and the meadow,
Mountains are signposts to greener pastures.

Each day I see strengthens me to move mountains,
Each night I’m chauffeured through pulls me up the mountain,
The closer I get to the Father,
 The higher it takes me up mountains,
The deeper I dig into His Word,
The better cliffhanger I become.

Though some mountains are recalcitrant,
They’re restraints to keep me on track,
They’re pride pruners,
They remind me that I’m not superhuman.

Visions aid me to move mountains,
The future I see strengthens my feeble hands.

Serendipity

A night walk under the starlit sky, 
Embracing its passersby.
Focused with a goal in his mind,
All obstructions had been left behind.

A breccia with different plans, 
Brought him down from his stance. 
Intertwined him in her path,
Unraveling an emotional wrath. 

An explosive cosmic occurrence 
Threw him under her inadvertence. 
Impaired by temporary amnesia,
Drugged by the love anaesthesia.

In an unexpected leap of fate, 
Before her eyes now he laid. 
Eclipsed by her frequency,
He quickly tuned into synchronicity. 

Serendipity was to blame,
He was just a player in the game.
When you learn to see with closed eyes, 
A whole new dimension will arise.

We are shadows
living the dark
of our own 
obstructions

imitators of light
worshiping furnaces
cores of stars

hydrogen eaters

helium floaters

casting nets
into a sea of glitter

our daily catch
of expiring illumination

traveling ever further out

away from man's indwelling 
brilliance 

that of a Sacred Heart

Making Amends

It was a free ride down town
Full of obstructions
And multiple checkpoints
My pulchritude casts a spell
On entire human existence
As motley petals on insects
Many couldn't resist
A glimpse at me
I am a creation of the earth
I wish to exclusively 
Spell out rules for humanity
But I can't always have my way
Growing affection and inattentively, 
Let my guard down.
Nature exploited the innocent me
I felt stupid and confused 
But neither alone nor helpless
Uncertain of hopes 
For a brighter future
But it's time to make peace 
With inner self and accept reality
The chance to right all wrongs 
And anew personality
Give me time and space 
To get back to myself.
For I am a jewel in others' lives.

Just another day of obstructions, heartless
                              souls, lack of communication on a daily. Obstructions
                             of gridlock. at a crossroad, at a crossroad, at a crossroad.

                        Around the corner cut across to abandonment, made a
                           left turn to mistrust swerved right to divorce while
                         approaching slander at a intersection. gotta find my way
                          back, gotta find my way back.
                     
                          Should it be suggested the world seems to be so distorted?
                           trying to find one's way back, from these sign posts and
                          roadblocks and gridlocks.

The Non-Duality Phenomenon

It’s not each of us,
It’s not every one of us,    
It's all of us,
We are all linked as one,
Connected as one if we will.

Our bodies are the divisions,
Our minds, the barriers,
Our thoughts, the obstructions,
Our fears, the hindrance, 
Our heartstrings, the weaknesses.

If the walls around our
 consciousness can be  pulled down,
The barricades around our
 thoughts can be thrown away, 
We will experience the world’s non-duality.

It’s an energy that can be strengthened,
It’s a force that can be amplified,
It’s a path that can be uncluttered,
We need to understand its potential, 
We need to learn to harness its force.

The Tale of Womanhood

The story of every woman,
They are not all the same,
They vary as their faces are,
No one author can have all written down,
Given his length of days,
Hidden in their chambers are untold stories,
Stories to be told may be in the afterlife,
Womanhood is a journey none has foreknown,
A triathlon of vicissitudes,
Womanhood is a walk
 saddled with daring responsibilities,
The mind of a woman is as tough as nails,
A shape in the words they
 utter is a bulldozer pulling down obstructions,
Platitude for the day is the
 saying, “Women are weaker vessels”,
They are weaker vessels that sculpt stronger vessels.

Premium MemberMission Implausible

I shouldn’t have left it, I should have stood guard
Just keep it in sight, was that really so hard?
If only I’d swallowed it, kept it in hand
So it couldn’t be seized by the scum of our land

I’ve got to get back there but there’s such a crowd
I need to push through and this I have vowed
What was I thinking, it’s there in plain sight
And if it’s been seized, then I’m ready to fight

I’m trying to nudge through this unruly throng
But nobody yields, this is taking too long
But I won’t fall foul of obstructions like these
So now I crawl through on my hands and my knees

I cannot believe that I could be so slack
And I rue the moment that I turned my back
I’m finally through and I struggle to stand
But soon I should have it right here in my hand

I pray that events will not soon prove me wrong
I hope it was not unattended too long
At last I exhale, thank God, there you are
I’ll never again leave my beer on the bar

Warp Factor 3

Walking into something blinded by light
A painful and embarrassing experience
Remember that excessive speed can kill
Planets might be hidden at speed of light 

Forget the bright idea show intelligence
A vehicle which travels faster and faster
Cannot change direction in an emergency 
The light might be visible and also fluidic 
Obstructions dangers will always be solid
Remember law of physics can't be changed

A Tree

A tree extends itself, by branch, by breeze
To the length, to the tip, to the end of its reach
 Releases a leaf in a snap, in a second
To perform a dance, a function at last

Roots follow an underground path 
Digging deeper to a softer spot
To stop when rocks become obstructions
In a place not of their making

The leaf follows the laws of the land
Encumbered only by the anchored tree
Once freed it drifts away gladly
Floats on an ocean of air to where?
Cushioned by clouds demands
Gravitating towards a softer landing

Roots are jealous when a leaf escapes
Waiting in silence for a mistake
For time to fly when the crunching sound comes
Signaling the end of that which was in flight
Is that a bird gliding over the deceased? 

A tree reaches out to heaven with branches
Raised like hands praying for rain 
Other leaves, fallen from grace. turn brown
Swirl through the green grass at crunch time
The critical hour is at hand

I Wonder

I Wonder! (Ghazal)
Nazim ZarSinner

(Each line contains 13 syllables)

Aft' irksome work they were sleeping in graves, I wonder!
Why the messenger could not free the slaves? I wonder!

Where you were? couldn't you lead walker who was dying?
Asking, "Found a corpse in dejected caves?" I wonder!

Don't you know: ain't blessed the soft hearted sensations?
Could not feel for me; for him, your heart craves, I wonder!

God is watching everything, even pains of people
Then why to troubled people no one saves? I wonder!

"Yeah," he says, "now girls do not like the guys with long beards.
Are harmful to a boy's face, massive shaves? I wonder."

In your cards, king is marked like the dimples of Venus
I have A's in my cards and helping knaves, I wonder!

Is this universe a shade of something out of sense?
What we are if not particles and waves? I wonder!

Obviously, obstructions stop significantly
Destined, to success how his way he paves, I wonder!
