Short Halted Poems

As he pulls you from the earth
Gods progress halted
War scorched angels sent
below to intercede
returned defeated
by the man who wont let go...

Paw-prints in the snow
Frozen in time;
Tracks once swift halted,
Still but already gone;
A trace of thee untraceable,
An anonymous signature
Of something which was....

I walk through the shores,
Leaping through the sands,
I hear the roaring waves,
The chirping birds, 
The busy winds,
Then I heard a voice,
I halted and looked around,
Hoping to see someone,
But no one was in sight....

Eyes
This is where the story
starts and ends
and where my fear begins
My steps upon the stair
halted concrete around foot ensnares
Around  the bottom step
evil makes it way
And once more my screams announce the day...

The excited Children passing in queue
Halted near the Gorilla in the zoo
As they kept looking on
It did an act wanton-
Hurled at them something dark, it was his poo

From the spirit of God comes inspiration , hope , dreams upon to men . It is empowered by God and activated by faith . It is unshakeable by natural circumstances , nor limited by the limitation's of the mind . Not halted by the physical . It is God's transforming grace ....

The candle flickers and stops 
The dark is leaves me thinking of 
A night halted in pain
Was this all in vain?

The trees whisper a soft song 
Outside my window all night long 
The dark's replaced your sweet voice 
This wasn't our choice.

But I can't forget you....

I am not a quiet person,
so if words are halted
somewhere in the apex of my lungs
or energy is girdled in my rib cage,
refusing to resonate with the beats of my heart,
there is something wrong
and i need you to know the difference between
how i am
and
how i should be...

The rivulets of ice hang greedily
To barren brown basalt
Drooling downward steadily
Like ribbon candy halted
a crystal ooze assault.

Sweet sap cascading readily
frozen curtain seldom parted
clothe the breast of earth joyously
leave in mist oh mistress tart…
pierce not the lingering heart....

Life as we know it suddenly halted,
people falling ill,
breath lightening,
cough increasing,
young and old alike,
no immunity,
little understanding,
less time given.
Tears dropping like rain,
close but far away,
alone we enter,
alone we leave,
together we mourn,
together we pray...
but alone we must stay....

Let me have one Gladys our neighbor said.
Sour apple lollipop made by Ned.
She took a long lick
Effect was so quick
Face swelled up bigger than our queen bed

To our immediate untold surprise
She was so puffed up, it hid her eyes.
We called nine one one
Which halted our fun
Gladys was hospitalized, no big prize....

Poetic thoughts would be halted
The community would not exist
This family that's been created would not be mourned or missed
There would be no contests, prizes, or honorable mentions
There would be no smiles, frowns, or conventions
There would be no thoughts written down in oodles
There would be no need for us -As Soupers...

Out of a dark-wet laboratory,I came amputated.

To grab a world out of my grasp.

When all my limbs are halted,comes a "god"

Off stylomastoid foramen,

Praying-pass the ganglion of difficulty,

Wielding,five headed- sword;all for me.

Upon my genu, I hail thee.O almigthy,

"pes anserinius major"

The bird flew
The beagle halted
Raindrops fell, but only a few
The ice melted, the leaf dropped
The ground salted

Regretting some choices, to name a few
Uncertainty looming
Limited openings, naming two

The quest goes on
Not always forward
The sun sets
The object is drawn
People dance
Around and around
Its all chance...

My little jewel of honour
Wrapped in the soil of my heart
Sown by my beloved
Infinitesimal it was
With time grown a tree
The plump fruit ripened
But now it seems a dream
A leaf drops after another
Soon the branches empty
My beloved nourishing halted
The farther she goes
The drier the tree
And to nought my little seed of honour...

D-ay thirteen in September
H-as brightened your birth; 
A-nother morn has offered
N-ew bunch of million mirth.

F-ine day thirteenth September
E-liminates the rugged clime; 
D-ark clouds are erased too, 
E-ven the perilous time.
R-aindrop at dawnbreak
I-s halted by God's power; 
S-unshine emits his rays, day thirteen in September....

I’m what they call
Scourge of the sky
From clouds I fall
Don’t ask why

No matter blood and gore
I am the survivor
Through Carnage I soar
The holy diver

Blazing wings beat
All battles halted
Feeling disapproving heat
Shining light, exalted

Wave of judgment flows
To hell I am your driver
I am your pain and woe
The holy diver...

bounty boobs blushing
fiddling fingers flinching
eerie emotions fostering
damped desires drooling
locked legs lurching
callous zeal crumbling

mystic moans melting
locked lips fiddling
halted! Then continuity

nocturnal nymph moaning
nimbling lips dripping
nectar of nosing

satyr salient flow
house's an home.

A an and an a
both besotted beguiled
care careened carelessly
devilish d doted dangerously
envy exploded evil evolved
for fate faked future fates featuring fatalities
gradually giggles gone
Happiness halted hope honestly harmed
I ill imagine images imaginary
just judge jest jump justify
Kick knee kill keep
labouring lets laugh less lastly...

the one whose beauty I treasure the most
Brittle and dark her love no one knows
As if under a spell that does not go
She makes an appearance every year 
Sometimes early or later 
This is the time I hold dear
All who see her are halted in awe
She is beautiful but not yet mine
I don’t want her to ever leave
I will love her until the end of time...

Love such as this is virulent.
Caustic and toxic, this love burns my innards.
I burn for you.
I need no antidote.
This love is worth the pain.
Your venomous tongue lashes me.
Words cannot hurt me now.
Your eyes petrify me, Medusa.
But my advances will not be halted.
I need my venomous fix.
My blood boils, 
Ready for your poison to contaminate....

So the fragment of their brief gloat,
Humbled their cacophony,
Their nails cultivated deeply beneath my skin.
Scratching for hidden gems
As my tears dried pages of a book empty
They each left with a little satisfaction
The depth of mutilation, their cheer halted
The distance that split us mirrored me
The bloody earth braced rejected scars that healed...

Black Dog

Black dog black dog
Where did you go ?
Your once ebony muzzle
Now white as snow.
Black dog black dog
Where did you go ?
Your once easy gait
Now halted and slow. 
Black dog black dog
Where did you go ? 
Your bright brown eyes 
Are losing  their glow.
Black dog black dog
Where have you gone ?
 I’m here by your  side
Right where I belong....

Heavens open dreary gray, cool breeze, as silence swears.

Emotion choked, refusing to give in to the tears. 

Without a doubt it sees the parched; what if it threatened.

Halted, as the world spun round million miles a second; 

wrapped its' arms, squeezing fast, thunder roars, dislodging tears.
