Short Impale Poems

A cordless nailer with ice nail
Can quickly impale without fail
As soon as its felt
It begins to melt
Leaving police without a trail...

Old Father Time offered for sale
Used scythes Death designed to impale
The demos were free
But if you ask me
Those buyers looked woefully pale!...

Your soul’s love woven maze
      Holds my heart’s fragile gaze

        With each corner’s unveil
          Cupid’s arrows impale

Oh prolific warrior of the poetic sword, impale the slothful dragon with your words.
Give no quarter to the spirit of the lazy verse, challenge and subdue it,... then give
It to the serendipitous frog....

Beyond comparison,
they rise when we fall

Uniquely divergent,
to impale and enthrall

No reference or genre,
descriptions confound

 Bowie and Jagger
—alone in the crowd

Brave is the one who, against all odds over his enemies, is able to prevail

But 

Braver is he who succeeds in subduing his passions that his heart impale.

When passions are inflamed, blunt words turn sharp and cut deep
Which is why it's important to pause, take deep breaths, and count to ten
Rather than thrust anger like an epee, just to impale

Open 
And all that entails
Is the world outside this box
Where opportunity knocks
Open is fear
Black molasses beer
Open is a crutch
When life is too much
Open is stale  
The rusty nail
On which we fall impale
Open is our falls
Having the balls
To rage against the bulls...

Turn in my lord! Turn in my lord!
But water I cannot afford.
Some milk is best at your request.
Now hide you and get you some rest.
But as he sleep, to him she creep,
As slaughter crept unto the sheep.
Then with a nail, his head impale,
So saved the day lady Jael....

America has been hi-jacked 
By the mainstream media
Reality now distorted,
  —and the truth scorned

Soundbites of political daggers
Impale a Constitution so wounded
Where patriots are held hostage,
  —as Lady Liberty mourns

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2015)...

I’m plagued with muted memories
that at their leisure will just wail;
It could be the song on the breeze,
I’m plagued with muted memories;
Meals disrupted by fallacies;
My peace they decide to impale;
I’m plagued with muted memories,
that at their leisure will just wail....

The Veil

On decrepit pathways hobbling
Life soul and world a wash of grayscale

Dark wings in shadows sing
By design the spirit to impale

An artist’s palette of black and white
Bright hues in daylight pale

Adrift in oceans of ravens night
Accursed walk beyond the veil

How does one convey
a past not meant to last?
How does one explain
a numbed brain?
How can emotions
simply disappear?
Why do we turn against
those we hold dear?
When will our life
as we knew resume?
Back to normal
can we assume?
End the desire
oneself to impale?
Words fail....

in the valley of the moon...it drifts
light and white, a dense fog
waiting for closed eyes and unguarded thought
images impale cerebral hemispheres
whimsically it dallies, a shadow on dark walls
flashes of color play on the backdrop of dreams
while softly it whispers a lullaby 

a sweet dream comes...

Your love's arrow has pierced my heart
From my lips I must impart
Cupid's arrow has hit home
But I only want to be alone
Seems your heart has been split in two
For I do not love you
Forgive this heart breaking tale
Tis a cold heart you did impale

Agonize me, harass me
Burn me, scorn me-
Impale my heart with your cruel venom.

Your scourge- my patron-
I shall frolic and revel in it's hatred

If this be but the one,
-the only way-
to posses you

Left with no choice
-for I'll not lose you-
I embrace you completely
In all your raging fury.

That Kiss


Touch
Caress
Golden dress
Sweet nothings past
Lips falling silent, heartbeats violent

Surrender assail, tiny breaths impale
Pheromones ooze 
Mouths desire 
Passion 
Fused

Oh shameful bottomless pit that is,
My life.
Take me to the ocean,
And drown me.
Eternal flame,
My sunrise and sunset,
Burning my flesh,
Burning.
The foul stench encases my nostrils,
As you and all your race of men,
Look upon me,
Laughing with disgusted upturned noses.
Not yet satisfied,
You impale me with a four foot spear....

it wasn’t the measured meanness 
nor the pig blood
nor the rampage of Carrie’s revenge
but the quiet walk
to the graveyard
depositing flowers
remembering the saint...forgetting the maelstrom

as the grub-filled hand erupts through the soil
to impale one more victim.

The dragon's breath upon my cheek
Comes to spoil the quiet that I seek
Gone the peace that night may grant
All my dreams now quickly disenchant
Blow your fire upon my aching breast
There is a greater pain I can attest
You are no more than a jester's tale
Yet on the dragon's love I will impale ....

When your intent looms to impale, I soon forget how to inhale.

When my impassioned mouth is caught by your desirous lips as sought,

and your flesh-kisses press lust trails rendering me as velvet wails ...

oh,    then  ...   you perfectly astound as I melt perfectly unbound.

House Draculea
There is no question
One could say...

Bloody spills
And gory tales
Could not stay
The hand impales

Eating dinner
Never end
All those vanquished
Now descend
“Take them down
My dish complete
Soldiers lanced
Before my feet”

Thousands dead
To seed the land
Impale them all
And message send
In story more
Vlad does amend
And still live on
In dread of men...

Bind my hands
Shackle my feet
Rain lashes on my body
Prick, prod, impale and crucify
You can impound my freedom
You can bludgeon me bloody...

Still, I stand tall
Proud, unbowed,
My spirit is yet free
I am yet, the master of my soul!

memories lurk beneath the pale,
behind the brow of sorrow,
too many hurts, the thoughts impale,
of lives in tempest and death grow stale, 
 lest, remembered, some tomorrow....
well known beyond the veil,
which no one else can borrow,
some try to no avail,
tomorrow yet tomorrow.....

At 4 years i told my mum i drowned at sea, and the sharks were there???
