Short Impervious Poems

Rising of the sun,
Lifts impervious night fog:
Waking forest floor....

the impervious floodlight fades away
as mine eyes see only God
behind the lids lightness

Tyranny thrust upon mine heart.
Yet hardened more by ruthless heartbreak.
Steel may never pierce my chest.
But must i be impervious to love?...

If only hate was a virus;
we could immune
ourselves with love
that is pure.

Pity,
it’s a social disease—
susceptible to treatment
but impervious to cure....

Service Both Nervious and Impervious

What we found about Trump's service;
Knowledge of it has made us nervous;
On edge,
Near ledge;
Completely recalcitrant and impervious.

Servious Both Nervious and Impervious

What we found about Trump's service;
Knowledge of it has made us nervous;
On edge,
Near ledge;
Completely recalcitrant and impervious.

It goes right through my heart  
A layer by layer
A granule by granule 
The glass shatters
Making it impervious to life 
And stopped without a beat 
How a word can make a difference 
And lay one dead....

I’m bulletproof
And you can’t make a move on me
You try to shoot
But you know that I am free
I’m bulletproof
And you know that I can fly
And that is why
I won’t cry
I’m bulletproof
Impervious to the likes of you...

Mint cool, the green --
       Lilac, the sky:
                  that delicious, impossible
blue...
                     Both
comfortably impervious
                                     to the
politic world
                      of humanity........

like locusts
swarming innocent crops	
in their prime
we likewise slaughter
our fields of dreams
as well as moral pride—
idle consciousness
impervious to the nipping
of the shoots 
of chosen buds of youth
trounced 
in the fields of our streets....

there has been a threat
amount you will beat and net
or loose with regret

were impervious
going to my church service
which made me nervous

am a forewarned
internet has dark corner
being forlorner 

were impervious
going to a church service
which made me nervous...

Then, he’d looked quite impervious, 
Now, you can see: damned nervous
The present soon the previous,
Past triumph no more envious,
His change: shamefully obvious…

From ‘impervious’ to ‘nervous’
Journeys end in the grievous;
Like voyages perilous:
Satanic and mischievous....

The sky is a lesser blue now,
but the same winter-knifing wind I remember
off the ridges, across alfalfa fields….
Just condos now, impervious to weather.
Cantering bareback on Molly – 
saddle on its sawhorse back in the barn –
I was Lone Ranger, last of my breed.
A flake of hay for Molly, years gone by…....

Thoughts worth Pondering
Written: by Tom Wright
6/7/2018

A closed mind is no defense,
Against thoughts that might traipse through it. 

Nor is credibility impervious,
To things whispered from an out of control tongue. 

Nor can a heart become so inured,
That it is inaccessible to God.

Evil is coming;
Its name is:
Selfless service,
Selfless life.
Its name is death.

Evil is here,
Altruism is here.
What is the difference?
Get a magnifying glass.

I am impervious
To national service.
I will not bow or kneel.
Will you?

Don't be a rag
Pushing dirt about;
National service---
Wipe it out!...

God's compassionate faithful prayer family
Bethrode vows life elation spirits passion 
Kiss awestruck azure sky
Beyond desire, joy, love
Impervious hope calm hot kindred bliss
Aquamarine crescent moonlight 
kiss awestruck azure sky.
World peace haven light melody.
Northern turbulent winds wave
lilac freedom clouds....

Elderly Person
in Pew 13 adjusts 
her Position
to allow me to Pass.
She's too Poorly
to Perform 
the rudimentary Path
to the waiting Priest 
with the Host 
in his hand.

She appears
impervious, lost
in Passivity,
Palms against
ears, Pressing out 
the Passionate
Preaching 
the poor dear
doesn't care
to hear....

I stand indifferent to rat-nosed Time who gnaws,
I stride oblivious to Time’s laws,
His ravenous, remorseless years’ assault.
The rat’s teeth sink.  Then halt.

My leg withstands, impervious to fangs of Time.
Acknowledging that rodent is a crime.
The vermin soon is mashed beneath my heel
To grease.  There—hearken to his squeal....

Listen to poem:

I let it slip away.
I held the hand for
as long as I could.
Too weak to draw the
dangling body up.
The hand became limp
and cold, lifeless,
clammy in my fingers.
The head below was hanging
down impervious to
my warm tears streaming
down from my face.
What more could I do?
Exhausted, hopeless, done
I let it slip, slide, away....

Full of disquiet
And extrapolating views
Exerting pressure

Those that wish me harm
I can distance or ignore
The minority 

To rest from within
Exhaustion harms my self worth
I can't help myself

Release need to care
No validation needed
Expunge negative

I want to just breathe
In proximity to light
Whilst my hand is held...

Impervious to pain; I never even notice
Inflicted wounds heal before they bleed
A time to die; I never see it happening
The time to live; I always see the need
In world of dreams I am so strong within them
My powers are many, I am made of steel
My only power that I can’t seem to harness
Is the one, when awakened, to make my dreams all real...

Speak of it not,
think of it not,
lest regrets may 
cloud the failing light,
and weariness
a shroud becomes.
This little thing,
once proud in love and lust,
now hides its face
and soon it will be dust.
Gone is the lustre
and delight
of fond imaginings,
as shadows deepening 
enfold what once
seemed ever bright,
impervious to
encroaching night....

Was a short journey
But oh so nervous
Was eating hard gums
Calories impervious
Then it happened
Heard the crack"
My front crown
Has blinking snapped
Meeting his folks
For the first time
What a mishap
A dentist to find
Had crown re stuck
Now smile on face
Must eat with caution
Lol she served me steak.

I've found my freedom
An epiphany happened in the night
Somethings woken in me
I've regained my sight

I've cut the shackles, ropes and restraints
Though not all physical 
They added to my weight

I've let my mind go free
Let go of everything hindering me

Now impervious to my egos desires
I've found a true freedom 
Fulfilling all I require

Listen to poem:

impressive wing span
navigated storm at sea
at one with nature

eagle glides swiftly
towards its high sea stack home
away from chaos

eaglets safe in nest
impervious bird-of-prey
at one with fierce storm
