Short Impediments Poems

Frail impediments
Unleashed from pressed clustered clouds
Imprisoned footsteps...

I stood before the pearly gates
Awaiting entrance in,

Unaware of impediments 
To bar my entering,

Then they came back to haunt me,
My disremembered sins....

Sometimes we strive
For success hoped on
Inside burns a drive
We tend to go on
Seaching for the unseen
Amidst hurdles and impediments
Costly prices we pay 
Draining our pockets clean

He begets the inferno within
Such impediments
To one's own happiness
Covetous in his own disguise 
A condemnation to misery
Constrained to emotional infantilism 
All forlorn and empty
He can't attain anything 
Other than froth.......

A line of sorts
Separates you from them
A boundary that is not thin
But is purely thick,
Overflowing with differences
They are plagiaristic
And you are oh so innovative
And while they cower
You welcome impediments
It’s better to be you
Than to be them...

We stutter, lisp and clutter
We are not vocal – mute…

We can be choppy, mumble words
Impaired rhythm, be automatic…

Distort our sounds, substitute, omit
Or string together made-up words…

And all impediments forgiven
But God forbid – to tell the Truth!...

However, there are impediments
This scavenging for deeds of strength
hung shrubs 
These appear to be bone fragments
poised to catch fire at any time

I'm having difficulty explaining why I'm realigning. utterances directed at ourselves. 
alters one's worldview.

The coastal lighthouses, intervening
in many dangerous undercurrents. 
it's beacon interacts vigorously 
as vessel realigns, manoeuvring
past many obstacles undistinguished 
by any obvious visionary. 
So sailing faultlessly, continuing 
home without treacherous impediments

Vines crept up the old brick wall
and clung with tenacious skill.
Tangled, this way and that they
rose, with a singular purpose
it seemed. To reach upward
no matter what the path or
impediments presented. I 
studied this old wall for a bit,
than went on my way, thinking
about my path and the lesson
here. Those tangled vines on
that old brick wall....

Thy songs oh throng, 
Scattered as litters on the floor:
Thy message without language, 
Shattered by the wind, faint and poor.

Thy voice, thy choice 
Of words is slaughtered by impediments; 
Thou nurse audible noise,
Often heard but stirs sour sentiments.

Thy picture and structure 
I can’t figure out by nature,
But I’ve got a conviction that’s strong
-You sing a sincere song oh throng...

Every journey is anchored to destiny.
To reach the everlasting serenity.
A destiny to unfold.
A story to be told.

Every day is a great adventure.
To conquer the pain in nature.
A pain to claim.
A target to aim.

Every impediments come naturally.
To surmount timely.
A time to be bold.
A bronze to gold.

Every moment comes with pain to venture.
To help us to be mature.
A hope to flame.
A chance to fame....

why chance genetic dice throw
gifted me finite time
solely to contemplate
(more than just my navel)
meaningfulness analogous
to scrutinizing Möbius strip
unable to identify
inscrutable mystery
defining random existence
specifically essence
happenstance/circumstance
which begat me Matthew Scott Harris.

His noggin mottled, plagued, and riddled 
with debilitating accursed impediments

It's like grinding-
Thistle-lips when speaking--
Trying to trample,

'Assumption'

Told us melancholy
With which; I wear
Knives-as-skin.

My Cerebellum-doesn't
Know-how-to
--Connect?

Channeling changes, 
You'd rather see
Becomes me.

I listen sideways; stepping
Speech--
I'd eat bramble branches
For impediments of you.

Screaming red-raw-thorns
As they skewer-
My throat.

I giggle blisters instead....

I am in love,friend.
I ran deeply to your heart.
No impediments can shake me,
though your tears may do.
I am in love,friend. 

I fear for my self, though i don't need too.
I fear for my self,my emotions let me.
Friend you noble,valuable to me.
I fear for my self.

I gave you all, you giving me less.
you make me feel as if you don't care though you do.
I am in love, you in a fling. 
My heart is turned into stones. 
I fear for my self....

Together we dance in this rainy day
Fearlessly even though we don't know the 
way
feeling the heart, both their drums beating 
the same time
Not even impediments could stand in our 
way
Together, this smile is even wider
And with u holding my hand it's even 
brighter
When you whisper with that sexy voice 
into my ears
Everything just stop, no more tears to drop
Together our imperfections are perfect
U love me I love you nothng can't be 
conquered...

I envy a cool and calm person,
Unruffled by all of life's stress,
Who takes things in stride and never will hide
From impediments to her success.

It's hard to be that type of being,
So centered and quiet and calm,
Who will watch things unfold and will never lose hold,
Owning neither a worry nor qualm.

Of course, I am far from that person 
Who rolls with the punches, serene.
I get flummoxed so fast that you might be aghast
By my feathers, too ruffled to preen....

Ascend to Shakespearean summer sky.

I loved Shakespeare as a girl
When a sonnet was like a melody
And I was not admitting
Impediments to true minds.

Our mark is fixed with the
Demise of one as the only force
Powerful enough to cast our
Corporal union null. 

And separation will be Doom each for the other.  
If I remain, the grief will raze me and my
Only consolation in not having to hurt you.
If it is I who die, I’ll be with the bluebirds.

Whatever the case it may be, step forth 
And let me love
Who is he to judge you and I
As long as we were joined by our senses 
We are prone to mistakes

Let us reunite 
And act as if the lexeme yesterday
Never existed in the jargon of time
So will be last and before
Let how we overcome our impediments define us

Allow me to be the cover
And I will not without any hesitation like before
Allow you to start the chapters
Let joy and happiness take control until you and I perish...
