there was nothing else to talk about
we were at an impasse
our paths diverging here and now
closing in on a bittersweet goodbye

is merely a mountain trail away ~ with a few hard slaps on the ass
and if snags get in the way ~ dangle a carrot to break the impasse

When beasts that can do nothing but roar
Meet creatures that can only ignore,
They always reach an impasse,
A pain for tiger and ass -
I'm glad it's only one year in four.
So my private prediction came to pass
A son, a victim of a mind overtaken and harassed
Overwhelmed by fear
The mind is cavalier
Finally broke the spell, made it through the impasse
i have freed you
from your torment and mine
yet you still linger
as if thou art thine
we are no more
"us" never existed
yet it's as before
i couldn't have resisted
everything passes
i have been taught
this too will pass
and all that it's wrought
Both
Sides
Stubborn
Not budging
Washington impasse
The government shutdown drags on
While the furloughed and unpaid federal workers suffer
When will the captains of complacency in Washington finally end this madness?

we engage in debate awhile
with the fundamentalistic eristic
he seeks to win and we are here for fun
head and heart lines do not intersect
what is truthful is not convenient
so let the impasse remain
inked with compassion

My oars were broken
I couldn't sail, I was
at an impasse, alone
but you came along
and mended me, with
your craftsmanship,
now we are in sync
sailing together as
one, in the ocean blue

The dream is me,
but I'm the dreamer.
Is the dreamer just a dream?
I see me,
but I'm the seer.
Am I not what I may seem?
An impasse,
for Alice in the Looking glass -
is this perception's trick?
An inversion,
I have another version -
which one should I pick?
In the serenity
Of the restless times,
Amidst all chaos
Standstill,
An imposed impasse
That defines
The priority of
An emotional world,
The world often makes
Nurtured the wrecked Self,
The self, reluctantly
Suffixing its worthiness,
To sustain
The perennial conflict.
after midnight
on the edge,
dawn so far away:
in my dream
platitudes
cravings
concerns
of the day
hold sway:
clarity
of images
as vivid
as day
yet
impasse
hold sway
and...
time...
appears
to stand
still
I AM AN I AM
I AM AN I AM
I am immaculately impudent
I am imprudent
I am impractical
I am impersonal
I am impatient
I am impolite
I am impure
I am imperfection
I am at an impasse
I am immature
I am imbecilic
But most important of all is
I am impotent

Listen to poem:
marooned -- unwhole as i am
a piece of me missing
adrift in its emptiness
throbbing in angst
furious at the impending silence
yet clinging to it like i never want it to lift
hovering in limbo -- life being too short
to be caught in this game of catch-22

Our bells rung
Our books shut
Our candles blazing
Water will not protect us
Nor houses keep us safe
Love knows no impasse
It's egress assured
The coldest cockle warms
And the most brave shudders
Love demands submission
The answer is to bow
For we revel in its fetters
Delighting in our erotic machinations
Untold response
as moistened lips entwine
Intrepid is your slightest touch
Feel my face
beneath your fingertips
body yearning
for the next impasse
Sweat and musk
shelter in the shame
as language
becomes her name
and detail seems to fail
Grunts and moans
replace the tenderness
and more is never less
A stinging mist colors my eyes
with vaporous pall of regret.
Oh, if only i could concede
and let the sun rays dissipate
this nebulous mentality
stealthily invading mind, heart,
a gray impasse of reluctance
that obliterates the future.

they say actions speak louder than innuendos
so true and when you speak in riddles
know that your subtleties are lost on me
i'm left not knowing how to feel
so if my responses seem anything but direct
i admit that it is absolutely so
i'm often in a quandry and have no words to say

Forgive me
I have forgotten the fondness of a smiling heart,
or the levity of laughter's luxury.
I have lost the grail of passion,
and a passion for people.
Here I sit at time's old impasse
Huh
It seems I've never truly known faith
until I had no reason to believe.
Please Lord, help thou my unbelief.
I
always
imagined
things would have changed
we would have moved on
yet here we are
loggerheads
impasse
still
If
enough
pressure is
applied to a
bad situation
pressure builds up
and sometimes
the dam
breaks

Note: playing with the form, all well here! :-)
Rise to the trends:
Expound new fears:
Touch on sore plans,
Appease dear seers;
Lose, win or draw:
Keep your head high;
Inch nerves made raw,
Niche empty sighs;
Glimpse crystal ball.
Peep at empty;
Opt just to stall,
Impasse you see;
Now with a twist:
Tell without risk!

I am not clairvoyant.
But even though I’m not-
Does not mean I am innocent.
As it is me that creates these battles.
Battles that only serve to make myself heard.
But they are not clairvoyant.
This impasse we are at-
Is the one I created.
None of us are powerful enough.
To sever the journey between us.
Don't ever
Lose sight
Today is where
To believe in yourself
Up before our dawn
You perceive the gray
Not realizing for what I long
And You asked me not to stay
Our life, it seems, has come to an impasse
I choose to love you forever
Resetting our shiny compass
Wishing each other the best
To our own endeavors

hold hostage the government
power money
self-aggrandizement

oaths of honor, loyalty
strewn by the wayside
Congress in disarray
called to a halt
impasse
God help
the American public
Unknown
everyday we walk,
into the unknown,
walking through life,
with a lot of worries.
fear of what,
might come our way,
afraid of not being safe,
on that rainy day.
life comes fast,
and you want to last,
even escape from your past,
and you might have,
reached an impasse.
so every day
we walk through life,
afraid of what is to come,
and afraid of the unknown.
Ego borne conflict having arisen,
no resolution seems to be in sight,
with one participant spewing poison,
the other unwilling to call day, night.
Hearts divided needing the healing light
but the light too is seen by sight divine,
for those and those only who do align
and so the remedy of no avail,
as both souls languish in pain self assigned,
unable to secure the holy grail.
