"impenatrable" poems
the rotten bananas remain on the hook, browning and sagging, dispensing a putrid odor into the room of spoiled sweetness. the small patches of burnt yellow become overtaken with dark brown, like a disease, spreading faster and faster the tough, impenatrable skin slowly decays into a soft, mushy clump that although, is penetrable, is undesirable.

Nobody Wants an Old Banana
She gave me the Plankton The lowest lifeform of her being. Anointed with this discovery I too gave in and shared with her a deep and impenatrable solace within me. Such truths arent always shown in sight of others. Nor are they whispered in ear shot, But somehow She burrowed right through them. Empathy in a female form! And not jaded and wrought with thoughts of imorality. Day by Day she would come and take frlom me these deviant caverns and restlless ideals sprung forth from absence of maturity in child hood and loss of faith as a growing man in the seamingly uncommon trait and beauty each human claims the next has deep within. The savage mastication of delerious greed Usually self righteous. Sweetlt nipping at the arms of the impoverished. the malady spreading further through while the ogres stomp their feet for attention puffing up their chest like creatures and only for a moments pay they contract a virus all to familiar in their learned ways. her delicate hands grouping at the flesh id presented brushing away the small inconsistences and as i vaguely remember now and to this day she slipped a finger inside and in the membranes and masses an ease would fall over me. the rush of expelling all that ales you within is a euphoria like no other. Yet each time she would leave something behind.

Narcissus Panacea
High above the cliff’s edge you may see my long tail whip in the cloudy crisp air or hear the swoosh of my wings as I move from perch to perch, landing on anthills that are overflowing with memories. I am not afriad of my past because my armor is thick and impenatrable and if an ant is somehow able to find a flaw in my scales and begins stinging my bare flesh I need only dive into the sea below to refresh and start anew. Dragons, born of Hermes, are adaptable to any environment, equipped with fire, ice, and a natural nonchalance which enables us to roam seamlessly from realm to realm and dwell in the in-between world where I stand with one foot in fantasy and the other in reality. Perfectly content with my ever-evolving life I only feel fear when my shadow takes the shape of man and stalks me relentlessly— as his envious hand gets too close I spit fire in hopes that he will dissapear but it only makes him dance back and forth with a smile. Weary of his enjoyment I spew ice to freeze him in place and out of curiosity I dive through my shadow and emerge as a human immobilized and forced to wear armor of nerves and blood that ceaselessly cry for the scaly skin of a dragon that my imagination created to save me from the pain and realization that there is no middle ground

Armored Dreams
Fortress heart Guard your ramparts And lock your gates Shiver behind your defenses from fate The pain and hate That hewn these walls for your protection Offer only the chance for reflection And the avoidance of pain Though fear walks with no name Among these hallowed halls With hymn and whisper "no one may enter here" It says in the dream "It's dangerous" "It hurts" "I'm afraid" "NO ONE MAY ENTER HERE!" It screams So it goes on And so it seems That beat after lifeless beat The impenatrable stone home To the heart afraid of pain But desperate not to be alone moans It wails In the elegant jail Of it's own design

Fortress Heart
Who else finds a pause an irritating absence of speech? like  every single Fullstop. is an area that is to far away to reach? that every single absence of sound is a wall so high its impenatrable to breach dependable scenarios are ones which are riddled with noise chaotic and invaluable noise because without noise and sound, songs from lips and barks from hounds our lives are cut too short, because no longer am i able to retort

A snake rattles and slithers to the rock where it will hide in serpent secrecy like a tongue in mouth that lies. A boot fears no snake bite hardened leather and harder soles as protected as a buried coffee can in the desert baked impenatrable, this the snake will not bite. The unshod foot, the unsuspecting mouse are fair prey for the fangs that drip a poison that kills without mercy, ****** with impugnity and swallows whole those who trust. Better be a boot; inflexible, unpenetrable, than a bare foot or quiet mouse when snakes lurk in the secret shadow whispers of the dark.
