Fog
Obstructs
A full view
Beware the beast
Fog.

        the fear of truth,
     the fear of knowledge
  obstructs human evolution......

Leaves on our tree obstructs to my horror
The semi-nude filly sunbathing next door
Maybe I'll ask her to move
To improve my view
Maybe a wee bit forward as my libido soars...

It’s an inner voice that speaks to the mind,
Stripping it of every happiness to find,
It obstructs it from walking into the light,
Pervading its room with the night,
Oh, how the mind falls into the abyss of darkness,
Until there’s an earthly stillness.

Stark space 
could allow for ease 
of breath,
but flooded glow washes 
in unrest.

Wood burned mirror
rest in farthest
corner wedge.
Its trim scrolls 
heavenward in facile
attempts.

Obsidian glass obstructs
true face. 
Instead providing 
an image voided 
of narcissistic delight....

I love a good threat, Hugo Jepsen,
Will you send the police, and then some?
If my pattern obstructs traffic
For I am demanding a hefty ransom
While tossing diamonds
From yonder throne!

an evening
      bell
          tolls,
tugs
    at the 
           heart:
the Autumn mist
obstructs
    clarity
      of thought,
hides
 the clutching
   hands:
irony
    treads
       its way
through
  the forest
     of yesterdays...
...forgotten..
           ...but..
still
    mirrored
     in my
          mind...

mental obstacles impede 
interferes slows down
obstructs progress that 
can be made 
closes off cuts off
future progress that 
should be made 
allowing the past 
mistakes to overtake 
the memory 
hindering any movement 
in a more positive direction 
creating a stand off 
standing at a dead end 
within the cul-de-sac of the mind...

Why be afraid?
Is dread not dead?
Or fear of dread
Much more afraid?


A heavy feel
Obstructs plain will
For nothing heals
As tension drills.


No wonder then
This empty span
Of knowing when
You know you can!


Dread can drop dead
For those afraid
As fear drops dead
In pulse afraid.

When the road you walk on 
reaches its end, 
And you find no other pathway,
Create a road,
But, don't quit. 

When the stone of hardships
falls on you,
Lift it with patience, 
But, don't quit.

If the darkness of failure
Engulfs your heart, 
Light a match, 
But, don't quit. 

When a storm obstructs your path
Hold on 
Take shelter
But, don't quit. 

It's your resolve to fight all odds
Take a while 
But don't quit...

Eyes Can't See



The skies are crystal clear yet vision clouded,
A one sided mirror obstructs the view.
Grievances seem black and white,
Resolutions gray.

Tinted glasses perceive disappointment,
Denial, a one sided mirror.
Mistakes are clear-cut and vibrant,
Acceptance avoids responsibility.

Brown, Green, Blue, Hazel,
Tearful eyes inflamed with regret.
Frustration, anger, distress,
Truth is nothing but a blur.

The Eyes Can't See....
