Short Obstructing Poems

pen calmly awaits
feeling papers soft touch 
minds void obstructing...

Unrevealed fear,
Avalanche of horrid scenes,
Intermittent sleep,
The night seems to take slow strides,
Obstructing the day’s entry.

Amidst battered clouds drawn east 
from gray heavens imbalance, 
joyful kites loop mindlessly never 
obstructing picturesque quietness. 
Rebelliously swooping through unhappy
visitors who xenodochially yield zest....

The fear of tomorrow is threatening to overthrow
the joy that is present today
but I REFUSE to give in and live in fear
I am strong and can overcome the many obstacles
that keep popping up and obstructing
my life path

I
Clouds of dark smoke billowing away 
The beginning of nature's decay
The marble freezing within the fray 
A brick wall obstructing the pathway   
On dry ground shadows forever lay
Waiting for the sun to shine their way…

Picked a seat right next to you 
repulsed by the mere inches 
obstructing me from a touch;    
X marks the spot, 
invade my fragile bubble; 
Make me a little bit nervous, 
invite me to snuggle; 
Together is so much better, 
your vibe a soft velour blanket....

Bliss throbs wow, if we but allow
Obstructing not the flow
Ego disavow, let love plough
Rapture, we alone know

Load on our mind lightens 
Magnetic heat brightens
Energy grid tightens

Don’t ask how
Bliss throbs wow

Here I am
a pin-cushioned thumbtack
stuck in my ways
like a stick in the mud
or a telephone pole
obstructing the gorgeous view 
of a T-Mobile tower
flapping my wires
            &
watching the crows
pass me over on by.

OH GIRL BELOVED, INHALE DEEPLY AND THEN RELEASE
GET OUT OF GOD’S WAY.  STOP OBSTRUCTING YOUR OWN PEACE

OH GIRL BELOVED,  IF OBSESSING IS WHAT YOU MUST DO
TAKE UP THE LORD’S CROSS.  TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW

OH GIRL BELOVED, THIS DAY IS NOT AS THE SAME
THERE IS DELIVERANCE FOR YOU, AND INDEED, HOPE KNOWS YOUR NAME...

A pithy moon
climbs
on a skull
to unmask the alien,
blacker than coal.

A pregnancy reduction
was needed
to prune out
the motor plan of the moving
target, who had-

a neural circuitry
for obstructing
the light. Can you
transcend a prude who will not
accept a celibate ?

Not so sad, a beautiful face
abandons the darkness.

In a world void of trust and loyalty
It's hard to find a happy family 

It's as though it's nothing unusual in this country 
Said air thick with vulgarity, disdain, and incivility 

I lock my mind and turn to music, obstructing the cacophony
Blocking its aim to drain my will, continuing on with probity
Soothing songs of faith wash through my soul, guarding my tranquility...

Moving steadfastly to my north node
My place of glory, my splendorous abode

Yes! My true 'NORTH' I'm traveling 
Precious jewels I'm unraveling 

Distractors I'm ignoring
Life's treasures I'm exploring

Staying the course unabated
Following my God compass, now I'm elevated

Rising to glorious heights
No more obstructing divine sights

Staying the course and soul-sailing
Moving on UP,  I'm prevailing...

a mocking bird sits
atop sticky holly tree..
winter day spring nest

silvery fog
wraps around pines..
mocking bird flies 

Fog creeps through the woods wrapping around the pines obstructing the view.  Gap in the cedars reveals a silvery shawl which is stopped by the bright sun on this side of the hedge or is it from a distance silvery on this side of hedge to those who view from afar?

Every star
is someone eles's son
(shield your eyes)
shrug off hate 
from everyone

familiar place
been here before
thousands of nights 
the ocean shore

coasts are changing
minds align
hate and fear
must now resign

connect the dots 
move my child
tame the shy
wake the wild

shred advice 
relayed from the miser
castrate cancer 
obstructing the wiser

transcendental
the hydrogen burns
furnishing life
each time earth turns ...

Symbolizing her beliefs
Exemplifying her brilliance
Raising her flag
Valuing her triumphs
Instilling her values
Conquering her enemies
Ensuring her success

Tasting her victories
Overcoming her critics

Minding her shores
Yelling her beauty

Complimenting her abilities
Obstructing her challengers
Understanding her intelligence
Nestling her truths
Trusting her leadership
Realizing her splendor
Yearning her CONTINUED success....

We see further.
Even with soft leaves obstructing our view.
We can see past, as if we have X-rays.
Summer is a seeing season.
Seashells, and seasons, and the sea…
Our eyes are brazen.
Even under sunglasses.
Unlike in winter…
When we close the curtains.
When we step outside, it is like we are trespassing.
As we destroy snow with our footprints.
Summer is…
The season of sight.
All the things we see and more…
That we tend to forget....

Caution: 
Do not attempt to remove yourself.
You have incurred the penalty
Of my undying devotion.
My heart and soul are clamped to yours.
Removal could mean a huge fine.
You are so fine, I find.
Get your engine in gear
And accompany me.
Give me ideas above my station.
You have been found
Obstructing my peace of mind.
I may just tow you home,
Bumper to bumper,
And let you park your chassis
Really close to mine.
My fine
Valentine....

Open minded progress determines the path.
Unlike years of mental numbness quieting the laugh.
A breath of fresh air as it cleanses the soul
Erases the emptiness obstructing the goal
A magical world for me to explore
No ties that bind restricting thoughts like before
Brightness invades all the moods once left dark
Putting an end to the misery so the healing can start 
No more will I anchor my mind in the sorrow
Choices I make today paves the path to tomorrow...

It's raining.
I press my fingers to the cold glass, and my breath swirls white.
The moisture clings to the window, obstructing my view for a moment.
Trees and houses are blurry before the condensation alights.
It's depression-ing.
I try to look outside.
The world has so much to offer, if you can only see the opportunities.
But.
That's the problem.
This sadness clutches onto my sight, making it impossible to see for a moment.
Sometimes a moment feels a lot longer, though....

At the shore’s edge of the Pontchartrain
a small barren peninsula protrudes
where a lonely couple gazes toward
the lighthouse perched at its end.
Its shadow partially obstructing
the bright pallet of a setting sun.
It precariously hovers on the horizon
for one last fleeting moment.
Its hues’ are awash by the mist
ascending each step of the seawall.
Just beyond, a sailing ship gracefully
glides along the crystal lake,
its sails waving a tranquil
and cherished farewell....

Willfully erected..obstructing..
    emotional velocity halted..
Armor.. imprisoning..
    safe and secure.. spiritless..
Layers of pain.. eclipse 
    and enclose..restricting ..
Languish not behind the wall..
    surrender to the magnitude of emotion..
Escape the enchantment of safety..
    passions unleashed.. fireworks erupting
Delight in the wonder of Love..
    thrill to the sensations of life!
    ~ rejoice as the bricks tumble..
    ~ shout as the wall falls.......
