"impeded" poems
a honey bee stung me not because I disturbed the remnants of his hive or stepped on the flower he sat upon I watched puzzled as he struggled on the ground after burying his sword in my arm thus sacrificing himself in honor of his brothers and his queen you see he was the last he had no voice to tell me of their fate the destruction we'd wrought on this docile creature this creator of sweet nectar the sting was brief and I brushed it away and continued on as we all do when only temporarily impeded unaware the sting about to come

sting
Mother superior had dropped the gun, Seeing the victim was her very own son. There a saint was made to run Drowned before the rising sun. Messiah born on the first day of June, Posing as a religious boon. Preaching that the end is soon, All in a tone resembling Sinatra’s croon. Superiority held in the form of prayer, Faith maintained at the behest of a dare. Professor Lodz has lost his bear. The Omega deemed this loss as fair. Tammuz is smoking all the vegetation Asherah has stopped all gestation, Coming from a fit of ************ Working on a new form of taxation. Jesus just took one huge dumb, In the sink after snorting a quick bump. The man had reached quite the slump. Catching HPV from Fergies’s **** Mohammad is eating all the pork. Using hands, forgetting the fork. ******* chicks, with all kinds of torque, Misinterpreting the path of a wayward stork. Dinning on delicious swine. And the finest forms of delicate wine. Prophets of the world align. And drink from the deceased Christopher Reeve’s spine.

Impeded By The Reasonable
as clear as ice, in night or day reflecting faintly, a soulful reverie reminding its presence subtly dewdrops dripping rhythmically standing in the way, an invisible wall trying to reach the distant horizon of which, birds appear and disappear like speckles of black in orange canvas eyes—blank and expressionless mournfully staring in quietude of the distant mountains and hills and clouds floating idly in monotone silence, a hand reaches out only to be impeded by a cold caress

LOVE? Connotative of so many different things, one conjures up vastly intricate definitions of the word. To what extent their truth reaches is indicative of their author’s own relationships, childhood, future and past. To be asked what love truly is, is to allow another to peer inside of your soul, to reach the depth and breadth of your entity and to relinquish your fears and dreams to them, simultaneously. Asked today for my opinion, I deferred my response, realizing I myself hadn’t considered a solid definition. Seemingly such a simple concept; really a foundational core, underpinning our self worth, self adoration and self identity. Love is unique, to everyone. It can be explained through the use of analogies. Stereotypes. In some ways, our ‘idealistic love’ is a window for our selfish, impeded selves to climb out of. We expect our lover to propel us into some sort of surreal, unchallenged fairy-tale romance, irregardless of the modern day reality we’re living out. We expect worlds to stop, planets to align and stars to shower upon us in some picturesque dream come true.  However, referring to love in stereotypes can be impersonal and superficial. I find love can be best defined by a persons own experiences, dreams, fears and desires. A lover can help realize and form these definitions. To me, love is resting my head between the curve of his shoulder and my sheets. Love is watching a summer storm roll in together, dry and safe. Love is observation; of passion, of fear and of delight. Love is acceptance. There’s nothing more beautiful than knowing and being known. Nothing more beautiful than opening yourself up to someone, being with them in complete serenity, complete coexistence and honesty. Rolling over and looking into their eyes, and silently whispering, “I love you.” That to me is love. - c.m

*I fall in love with blonde hair and glasses, Awkward stances and quick glances; He is temporary and thus impacting, His voice is all that is lasting. And though my chances are impeded, Distance seems all so fleeting; Such as is in the one-time summer dare Of two strangers’ love affair.*

Fog Happens Yup. Not profound, even Jung, Kant and Freud, wouldn’t deny their eyes, would no doubt disagree with symbolic, philosophical implications, and the head banging ramifications for the immediacy of the spiritual impact while driving in this grey **** Fog differs every time, and on an island, that’s for **** sure. Today’s incarnation, the fog comes over the water, but respects the man-made, timbered, bulkhead, so the yard, with its circus of ravens, crows, and other invisible birds, insects, rabbits, is visible, but absent the inhabitants who are smarter-than-humans, they remain aboded thinking, only stupid humans believe they can navigate and forage, in a fog penetrating in air that is 97% humidity and 100% peas soup thick skinned. The time? Of course. It’s 7:36 AM on the East Coast, and beyond the lawn lies a brackish bay that will lead you to the Atlantic and north to the Titanic, direction Newfoundland. Not enough info to geo tag me, but those who know me, knowledgeable in my early mornings  scribblings, know my whereabouts, my telephone number. Do you? Fog Happens to everyone and at random intervals, Nope. Not thinking of the brain clouds of ordinary Lethologica  and Lethonomia. (Sunday lazy so just look it up and say out loud, gotta remember them words and laugh out loud cause you ain’t gotta a prayer.) Fog Happens in the heart, spreading north to the consciousness, and the lethargy of movement impeded by the lighthouse bells tolling “danger is about,” our light stolen, but you need to know, you’re perilously close to danger. Any action taken when heart-fogged can have awful consequences so stick close to bed, yank out your tablet, write a poem, listen to sad love  songs on that Pandora Station, or send GIPHYs and emojis to your six year old granddaughter who is 108 miles to the west of where you both hide beneath coverlets, and laugh out loud with her like the bells chiming outside, and that helps move that heart~fog hanging low, out to sea.

If I was the shoe in your foot, Who was the sock that impeded us to touch skin with skin? Who was that sock, that received the stinks from your lips and absorbed all of the sweat from your heated days? Who was that sock, That I have to thank?

I feel your presence, your spirit near I remember warmth, but you're not here. What once was joy has now receded Gentleness gone, and grace impeded Did I give too much, or stay too long? Did I try too hard, or my words prolong? The vows remembered, naive elation Disloyalty now begs cessation. Trust now lost. The struggle painful Thoughts of another's touch disdainful You feel my presence, you wipe my tear You remember warmth, but I'm not here. We move as robots, time seems long Together now; forever gone.

1.This wheelchair never was a River, even when powered, it did splutter yes, it's equivalent in movements, listening silently it always sits out, away from the flow to the ecstatic sea. A wheel chair is a caricature of loneliness. 2.Ever tried to see it for what it really is? "We don't remember, doesn't catches the eye" Not like a chair of any other kind easily does, A chair regal looks up, straight at the face in the manner it demands what it wants, "Let me tell you this, listen or leave" 3.A wheel chair keeps on looking at it's arrested feet apologetically and sighs, if you have an inner ear sensitive, hear this, I am not even a chair, an apology for movement,spoken in a voice stiffed. It speaks incessantly, in a voice within itself, wordless to a world, that has closed it's doors. 4.A wheelchair easily forgets things as it can't keep bitterness alive always. who cares to speak a few words to a wheelchair? all it is to be done is push it in silence through aisles . from a destination of pain to any other, slightly higher. Stairs of every kind, for a wheelchair is a foreign land. 5.Yet in impeded wheelchairs moves many a dream, broken before their time or crusted with force. Or remains of a day, too long and  busily spent. On every wheelchair a heart adamantly beats, "I would, I would" it beats with a rare grit.

The wheel chair
Perhaps the most positively uninteresting tragedy Is the story of flawed, impeded love. For whenever I venture, strive, endeavor— To exit my haven of solitary isolation I’m devoid of any bravery. Though I wish I could say “People scare me! I don’t want to be judged For things I cannot control, For transgressions and loves Methods, impairment, systems and failures Despicable lies and harrowing truths Cringeworthy trances and malicious propositions— That’s the reason I tragically fear you!" But such would be blatant lies. For I am not a reticent sheep, Not afraid of human, futile words It’s not any judgement or hate I despise It’s just that I can’t ever compromise I’m so terrified of judging Even in my mind The people of the world Precious brethren of my kind— I don’t wish to hurt a weakling Or a disgraceful abomination Thus, I’ll isolate from anyone For fear of impeding my love Of all alive, of everyone.

Impeded Love
I cry for you Argentina hectic planet’s southern corner land of passion, crazy arena aforetime our bonds were stronger. No longer yours, you never mine our lives belonged together once I used to taste your scarlet wine, your gorgeous girls, your charming dance. The friends from ages, forgotten stories so much privation, my heart is sore my aging parents, the elder brothers your call is clear I shall wait no more. Exultant hugs, reunion is great my parent’s sanctuary regaining life but there is an end, a settled date cruel farewell that sticks its knife. I’ve seen those humid agates before I've heard how silence can drown the wail hair-raising feeling on every pore they'll stand upright, I will be frail. Oh, childhood playground! my old-time shelter long time impeded of children laughing no words no tears, this way is better my love, my kids, my home are waiting.

All the true talent is being impeded Everyone seems to please the conceded Narsasistic egos,why you gonna feed it? Offer up your bank,so they can bleed it Dry Another sucka Caught up in a game,your gonna loose ********** Collect up celebrity baggage and check out Support the underground,fresh rhymes,no doubt Real lyrisists with non generic beats Making real music to be played on the streets Not ******** hype getting sales from the tweets Get down with real artists and support with your sheets

Got alotta love for underground hiphop
I remember the slamming screen doors, the rattle of the stained glass monster, and the drafty shadowed nights beneath chenille bedspreads.   I remember the sun soaked cloak room with its reek of wet woolen mittens, the un-impeded flight down stairs in tomato basket bobsleds, and the bouncing at the bottom in a frenzy of strawberry carpet burns. I remember church bingo basements smoky on Friday nights, Saturday morning sounds from her kitchen, and a mile of sulfur dusted sidewalk in between.   I remember the damp musty smell of the low lit basement, the passing of Black Label beer through semi-circle windows, and the nauseating hangover from Mogen David wine kept in the cellar.   I remember hearing how they kicked in the door while she slept and beat her and took her things, her rings, the gifts from my grandfather, and how she stubbornly refused to leave the home my mother was born in. A half century book ended on one end by the great depression, which she survived, on the other end the kicked in door which she did not.   I remember my mother’s wavering voice when she told me she was dead, how Uncle Ed found her sitting in her chair, rosary beads wrapped around arthritic hands.   I remember hot on the left and cold on the right, the smell of her sweat, the breeze off the lake, the creak of the old steam radiator, and the way she slept in her chair with her mouth wide-open.   The way Uncle Ed found her.

sometimes i wonder is this all we could have been? this mundane little bubble and all that lies therein? all there is to do, all the places we are needed all the problems we have caused and the progressions we've impeded soothed by the exchange of a small piece of paper for useless items we're told we need to fit into an image of a generic person complicit in a culture we immortalize and breed or others by their own conviction in a set of rules older than this to tell them how to make decisions and promise them eternal bliss each taught not to question preachings or face some form of indefinite sanction to remain obedient to a master legitimizing the subsequent action i don't understand. how can this be the epitome of civilisation so full of ignorance and hatred we fail to see the beauty that surrounds? how can this be the epitome of human intelligence that we need glass screens for communication and lenses to record our every movement? how can this be the epitome of the human existence that inequality is perpetuated and poverty ignored? one day you will realise what it is you have done in your desperate bid for power. you doomed the endurance of your kind for the sake of one, tall tower.

The Clash of Civilisations
For an Actor, preparation is everything. We are much more than our face paint and props. Rehearsals can go on for hours, as we block out our scenes in our parts. So it will not surprise you that Friday The fourteenth of April found me at Ford’s theater in Washington preparing for my part in the play. My horse would be held at the ready My pistol was loaded and clean. I was known and well liked by the company. Like a ghost, I could wander unseen. I’m disappointed Grant missed my performance His wife Julia hates Mary some say. Her aversion has stolen one target, but the other will not get away. Theater is a matter of timing and I knew this crowd and this play I entered amidst raucous Laughter and fired, once, in the “Emancipator’s” brain. Some soldier attempted to grab me and got himself stabbed for his pains. I balanced myself on the railing preparing to leap on the stage. I could hear Mary Todd Lincoln Screaming. “Sic Semper Tyrannis!” I raged. My boot spur got caught in the bunting I lost balance and fell on the stage. The actors were stunned to inaction as I limped, none impeded my way. Mister Lincoln has made his last speech and likely seen his last play. What actor worth his salt wouldn’t **** to make his exit my way?

Making an Exit
This is my American Spirit Though I am loathe, but deserved to hear it This is my generation in a long, sour drag: Bohemes and hipsters, the self-important type Self-serving directness with subtle insouciance Self-righteous without e’er scents of conviction Qualities, to all, vogue slimming befit This, this is my American Spirit. I’ll be the equalizer in a furtive game of chess And acquaintance, its partner, arbitrating I’ll wear the habit of means and humility An ashen cherry, flicked, waiting to be The pyrrhic finite ember and pastiche memory Escape is apparent in discontinuity, my Means to ravel a courser bond in someone, As only a blush reminder only when they all clear it Yes, this is my, my American Spirit. We’ll have a game of butting desires ‘Tween all those appetites and some self-respect Only, I know, to lose out in the end. Is there a place for dignity to prevail Or charm in an attempt likely to fail? Can there be eyes open, minds or thought To gentle pride its combatant ‘gainst Unconscious abuses: yea or not? But I will know irony as means to an end Turned cheek from machination That I can do, I can pretend When the veil may be lifted—that I fear it This, this is my American Spirit. Of course I enable, for the cynosure, the dissonances Supplant for fraternity fraternal-ligature Too obvious is resolve ‘neath shaw of fleeting smoke My own wants impeded, kept at a distance. For, oh, Fortune! How you have written Some conscience to mend it to others kept calm A charity in practice as this cigarette is long While vice, in all aspects, is the most correct wrong But hummed out in truth as a fascist, he ought I’ll turn to a tonic of strength to delude That pretense and pride the conscience denude. In some be it strong in others enthralled Whilst ********* our prayer beads of looking-glass selves Quietly burning the vestigial gods That brought us a new light or perspective on things And though we are loathe, we despise to hear it, This, this is our American Spirit.

In the flash of a memory I am transported back in time, To the first time we ever met, seems like a eternity ago. I remember up until that point boys had cooties, but When we met that all changed. I can still see that cute, sweet little boy who caught my attention. Sitting in a desk in front of mine. I remember waiting until recess to play and sing. A sweet innocence of youth that we shared. Then as the years passed by we went down different paths. But even though you were not in my sight I often wondered How you were, where you were, did you ever wonder about me too. Then fate crossed how souls once more, over twenty years later. When you walked in the room, all the memories flooded my heart. I knew you face, would have recognized you anywhere. The same beautiful smile, the same kind eyes. Automatically we picked up right where we left off. The connection between our souls remained, even after the miles and years apart. What a blessing to have you return to my life. Conversations lasted for hours, glances burned into my brain. You are forever impeded in my heart. Friendship and love filled the empty void. We keep in touch and you have been my shoulder to lean on My confidant, my defender, my voice of reason. Now once again this cruel world has separated our earthly bodies, But you need to know, no matter what the situation, no matter how far, no matter how hard the road ahead may be, My heart is with you, My soul speaks to yours in a language only we can understand. I am here, and always will be.

ever since that brightest of lights birthed the universe and all that it holds our particles have been striving through all that is known of space and time through countless changes of form and matter through our unknown infinities amidst the infinites known through beliefs and disbeliefs uncertainties and doubts falling continuously in the path of our orbits endlessly we will travail entrained to reunite with our eternal partner separated only temporally impeded by the superlunary seemingly fated from beyond the gravity of this mystic tie binds all sempiternally and we will be found one in the other

When common sense prevails And Whitehall gets demolished Once politics has died a death When voting is abolished The world can then recover From an era of attrition But mindful of the wandering Redundant politician For safeguarding the public And ensuring that our nation Is free from slimy bureaucrats With dodgy legislation Is vital for survival So we’d better reemploy them And here are some suggestions As to how we might enjoy them They could bungee jump volcanoes For the National Geographic Or lie down in a busy road To calm the morning traffic We could shave their glossy hair off And turn it into wigs Then pulverise the rest of them For feeding to the pigs If you’ve just made a coffee And spilt a little drop Then grab one by the ankles And Presto! It’s a mop Just roll one over nettles If ever you’re impeded And stand them on the riverbed If stepping stones are needed They’re great for hanging coats on And extinguishing cigars They’re useful safety dummies For testing foreign cars If hollowed out and quilted They make a fetching scarf And quite the conversation piece If pickled, cut in half The list is almost endless And I’ve mentioned fairly few There’s a myriad of ****** jobs To find for them to do But first they should be rounded up A vessel must be chartered To send them to the front line Of the wars they ****** started

Years after giving up the game for good I still dream of turning up late to a match juggling a chipped red racquet, high-impact lenses, salt tanned right hand glove and two blue ***** fresh in the can, my dream court receding down darkened halls, a warren of identical doors, portholes slashing avocado carpet with watery cross ties, florescent flickers that merge and pool, flushing me into flat light within a stark white cube to toe the red service line once again only to find my forehand serve impeded by stacked furniture and packing crates arranged into the crooked lane plat of medieval Bruges. Racquetball, a game of angles gone sadly out of fashion, the MacGuffin in my dreams, as it was in my playing days when you were my true opponent, King of Center Court running me, stroking passing shots, methodical while I hurled myself heedless headlong into walls, losing on points, nursing trophies of bruises.

Racquetball
Waist deep. The thick black syrup meets skin A sharp black/white line Across the pores Like a moving limb of day/night Across the distant craters of the moon. To tread deeper and pulls the surface down The mirror-black surface bending, pulling. A meniscus A relativistic bending Of space and time around a star. Deep below the surface Wiggling toes are sluggish Movement of legs are impeded A tug at each hair on legs and toes. And the hydraulic squirt of the liquid Below the soles as your weight shifts. Ah, but sometimes shallower now, Withdrawing belly skin pulls with it The deep brown-black rubbery surface That will not be left behind. It will not relinquish this new intimacy. What horror comes with the rising depths? Liquid darkness comes over shoulders, chin and cheeks. A sweet salty taste now upon the lower lip. A tug, a pull at the chin with every breath Every attempt to lift it above the surface. Fear. Darkness. Unknown. Over mouth and nose. Sticking to eyelids. Thick and warm into ears. A bubble of air tries to escape from under your chin And tickles as it pulls up on the hairs it passes. The cool open air irises-off above your head Only a momentary depression in the top surface. Until there is no record, of your having passed here. Silence. A sweet and sticky seal, impermeable between this world and the void. Silence. Push up now with strength in frightened legs. The suction is immense, the pull strong. It does not wish to let you withdraw. But you push and breaking the tension of the surface You emerge. Great thick layers of darkness remain. Hands claw great gobs of blackness from nose and mouth. A gasping, stuttered pull brings icy, bitter air. Standing now, a black shadow-ghost emerging from tarry blackness. Velvety and warm was the invitation, Soothing and intimate was the gentle touch, Silent and heavy was embrace, A smothering, airless dark at the end And silence. But sweet, oh how sweet and warm.

Opening up choice, optional outlets Voiced sections of our minds escaped Safety was in silence; speech impeded Powerful penned action leaves the Skull to crack open thought processes Others see into their minds by way of derivation Interaction captured, swooping into bludgeon Spat out red remarks dissolving us, turning over The table of plenty and offending, devaluing self regard Talking us out of being who we are....yet leaves Replaying the turntable of our minds Rinsed out mouths might penetrate the circle of Tight lips, forced shut by silent expectation Fear and squirming ruling our fingertips, wrapping Knuckles pressed firmly to the flesh of repression Gold dust sprinkles the high life, cuts short the Intrinsic pain, lends a hand in the greedy depths Of finding a way through the webs of sarcasm The veiling pretence is insidious in flavour Tastes sweet to the tongue, once swallowed... too late
