Short Invulnerable Poems

All invulnerable
negated in less than one
hour (no matter,

for there alone belongs my
hope, eternal, my promise)...

Vulnerable
endangered unprotected
exsposed, unsafe, in peril
well protected resilient immune to
ungauarded prey susceptible
opened attacked
Invulnerable

You are my strong man. 
You never try to pursue glory or praise,
You don't run after mere appreciation or raise.
It is the invulnerable faith that lies inmost.
That you know it will keep you going.
Quietly and silently you keep on working and striving,
For the one whom you love and care the most.

no foothold
by Michael R. Burch
 
there is no hope;
therefore i became invulnerable to love.
now even god cannot move me:
nothing to push or shove,
no foothold.
 
so let me live out my remaining days in clarity,
mine being the only nativity,
my death the final crucifixion
and apocalypse,
 
as far as the i can see ......

the day melts to orange...
gaunt pines climb the ridge
to jab invulnerable clouds

rock formations are
mauve and rust-red in twilight
deep jagged chasms

a meadow turns pink
as  evening nibbles at stars
a taste of silence

Heart with a love with a wound. 
The last is like a ruptured balloon, 
became empty of film. 
Heart with hatred was invulnerable. 
Rift began to rapidly expand. 
Countless hands were germinated 
in an attempt to regain the time lost 
from the wound. Through the pain, 
he drew a cursed color on the road. 
In infinitely flowing blood, 
it left a cry of finger gray wall....

P-icking up the pieces from your shattered dreams; 
A-llows you to ponder the matter, reflecting on falling apart at the seams.
L-et one think not of indispensability, nor of being invulnerable; 
A-ll things are transient, for they fade and are perishable.
N-ew dreams though are immortal, 
O-ffering hopes free of charge; 
G-et up and muster your wits to find the luck still at large....

I can't take it no more 
It feels like I'm losing composure
That's why I'm never sober 
Been like this 
Since you said its over
Been reminiscing the times we had
Still miss the times, even the bad
Girl, you should be mine
Baby, just give me sign
Cause I'm sick of crying
And feel like Im dying inside
When I had you I was invulnerable 
But now my current state of mind is laughable...

You can go anywhere as someone else,
the masks and jesters play
invisible to sound and touch
the Lords and Creatures pray

To rent the future—sell the past,
the landlord still unnamed
invulnerable to what they sell
the real prize still unclaimed

To cry out once your voice reversed
lone echo at your back
the Landed Gentry comes and goes
—the crossroads blackest cat

I miss that invulnerable energy. 

That allowed me to expel-

An incredible curiosity. 

That I hadn’t experienced since I was a child. 

I miss that hopeful instinct. 

That told me of an unlocked revelation.

That I am willing to engage in wrath for. 

The wrath of the ones who are surrounding me. 

They will testify that-

I am the one who is a devastation. 

To the peace that was once society....

A lifetime passes
but she lives on, touchable now
only with mind-beams.

Walking through a cornfield together
seems like Elysium.
Imagination fills in the blanks,
her hand in mine
leads to a future memory.

That cornfield, that soft sunlight
its all smolder and smoke now,
but she is invulnerable.
She has moved to a place
just ahead of my eyes.

I see her in new yellow robes;
the dazzle of her,
waving
between the suns fading rays....
