"unapproachable" poems
Distant, Detached, Unfriendly, Unapproachable, Unsympathetic, Withdrawn, Antisocial.... I keep my distance for fear of being hurt by those I let my walls down for. I am detached from worldly possessions because they cause pain when lost. I am unfriendly due to my inability to smile through the bad times. I am unapproachable to those with judging eyes. I am unsympathetic to those that have their needs met. I am withdrawn so that no one can see my past. I am antisocial due to my observant nature I am aloof

The Aloof
I love... I hate.... I like.... I loathe.... Two complete opposites on this scale of human emotions What lies in between Is it acceptance or tolerance What better person to ask than one's self When those shades meld, what color is formed Love is often the passionate red While hate is the unapproachable intimidation of black Is it the same as the mother earth or the same liquid that flow in our arteries I still don't understand these feelings that I feel for you I hope that perhaps as I get to know you My vision clarity will be unblurred That it will become more vivid as I notice more than monochrome nor the neutrality of angry red

Love/Hate Spectrum
This life, although startling in its brilliance, remains confined to the electrical shadows cast on the walls of our brains. Do you ever feel… no, no, no not feel. Well maybe feel... or sense… that everlasting something sometimes off in the distance I can see… I’d love to take my hands and, like the meaty instruments they are, dance sweet symphonies up and down your body. Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer to land my ***** machine among majestic silver seas and strange beautiful grass of green. I would use my subtle touch to say what I couldn’t any other way and drag you down to the depths. But things are not so simple in life as in our thoughts, nor so rough as our poor idiotic language. *Every hand, give me your hand. I’ll talk to you, you wont understand.* These electrical shadows cry at the ultimate, but our mere conception shames it. Like the dream tigers we desperately try to craft they continue to disintegrate like the castles made of sands, rocks piled on rocks reaching for the stars. The firmer the hold, the quicker it slips away. “Just try squeezing the truth from water,” the angels sing to me in my sleep. And it’s the love of dreams which is so greedy for recognition swiftly performed in the sight of all. And it’s the waves I feel… well maybe not feel. And I wanna say **** you” because I still love you. I sense… well maybe not sense… And I feel my soul being slit up as if by a razor. frenzied but beautiful and an awful ambiguity grinning over it all, cackling out the Tao’s opening words, lukewarm to the point of being enigmatic, “The truth that can be told, that is no eternal truth.” I guess after the laughter, then comes the tears. **** you, Lao Tzu and your ****** ancient wisdom. Why you staring at my finger when I’m pointing at the moon? I got nothing at all. The center, unapproachable forever. You’re willing to die you coward but not to live. Love life more than the meaning of it.

Welcome my Princess! Oh Heavens, For the queen of my heart Is about to offer to nature Her complete beauty of Africa, Give her the Kente cloth In its rich, natural and splendid array, And offer her newborn feet with The golden sandals and diamond beads, Behold! There she descends from the Unapproachable eternal flames of the sun, With the divine firmament Fizzling at her flammable tune, See how the precious fragrant branches Of the clouds covers her lovely feet, For the clouds have gathered and there is Nothing more to expect but the storm, Oh yes, I have found a ****** woman, The beauty among the daughters of great men, Whose eyes are as brilliant as the star And as delightful as a sugarcane; Behold, her face is as bright as palm wine; Her hair sleeps like a slender thread, And her stature is as that of a pawpaw tree, She is called Obaahemaa Kabutuwaa And truly she is Rasses Kabutuwaa Whose eyes are those of the faithful dove, Truly, Kabutuwaa whose Gods is like that of bees, Slim, black and full of sweetness, Truly, Kabutuwaa is obedient and wise, Truly, Kabutuwaa for whom All men felt love in their hearts! Come! Oh my unveiled one, And expose thy soft and loamy face, For the nations shall seek and Behold thy enviable eternal beauty, Ah, the proud effeminate shadow of Africa, Please show the angelic face of Thy love to my perturbed soul, For thou art an African ****** indeed. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

MY ENVIABLE ETERNAL BEAUTY
_ her heart has been broken so many times she wonders if it's beyond repair. the walls she once loathed now surround her heart, unapproachable by man. each night she lies awake wondering if anyone hears her cries. but He hears her and tells her heart to be still for He will dry her tears, take her and restore her broken heart. for she is His bride. _

For the longest time, The stage was nothing but a dream. The microphone, Unapproachable… Nervous shaking legs, And red cheeks Kept me away… Now I stand here, Confidant, And the mic Is like an old arch enemy, I’m now on good terms with. Given I still feel shy, Timid to talk louder, But just vocal enough To say something right. That and it always helps, To have a warm crowd, People who don’t mind If you babble about Such nonsense as Having stage fright, They might be just as nervous As I am, Thus able to relate, I begin to feel a connection. I’m no longer afraid to look up, Look at the eyes, I was once afraid to see. Knowing, All of them where staring back at me. Now the stage is my playground, And this room, Is becoming like home, With it’s red cozy chairs, And it’s wine’s and it’s beer’s Chasing away my fear To stand up here, And say, I’m just glad to be here…

Self Esteem Builder
When I was twelve, my older sister, Annick, was in med school. She was dedicated and incorruptible - always studying, always. I wanted her to spend time with me, I craved her engagement. I was jealous and mean to her, thinking her uncaring - uninterested in me. Now, I get it. Now days, I seem to behave like a machine, I’m busy and unapproachable - forgetting myself in function and I’m just a lowly undergraduate. When I think about how hard she must of been working, I tear up, like someone hearing a sad song on the radio.

The fall has been undone The world is overcome... Almighty Holy One of Israel Possessor of the heavens and earth Your name be great among the nations Magnified by your Son's perfect work The fall has been undone The world is overcome... All powerful Father creator God Blessed hope and salvation Your kingdom come - Your will be done Unapproachable light eternal The fall has been undone The world is overcome... Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, Faithful Rock and Redeemer Lord, you alone are just and wise Who can stand against You? The fall has been undone The world is overcome... The fall verily hath happened Thus there art demon's in The world; though Christ Saidst we canst overcometh By his light and faith assured. For ourn truth wilt makest Friend's turn to enemies, and Enemies to friend's; though it's Yeshua ha'mashiach, on which We shalt depend. So mine dearest friend edward-starr, With pain's wrapping thy skull; remembereth Thou art God's child, not just some being of Mistakes and flaws. We art to be perfected In Jesus alone, for Christ hath made thee A mansion, that soon shalt be thy home. Hath faith Edward, thou art under The protection of the great "I am"; He sent to thee, Jesus the king, to Die for thee and every man. For God saidst, I am always with thee, wheresoever I mayest be; Remember whom thou doth worship Edward, Christ, the son of God, Yeshua ha'mashiach, Thy Lord and healing king. ©Brandon Nagley and VS duo poem for Eddie starr ©Lonesome poet's poetry

I am feeling absurd. I had this tinge of shyness in my chest not before; but now I cannot bring myself to fail it. I am quite on the edge of the danger of falling in love again, yet I am anything but regret it; I am, again, devouring its marvel with the tenderest hopes of seeing him every time I venture out of my grounds, and into the winter's raging scenes. Oh, how unfortunate! I have savagely fought it - hurling myself against his image so that it would be crushed and carried out of my mind, alas, inexplicably, towards nothing but misfortune! As if fate hath once again decreed my hearty unrest by this punishment. Punishments no-one could ever come to deny: the sacred desires of loving, and the foremost comfort from the touches of affection. Oh, how I am again imprisoned in this silly infatuation! I might as well be a kid to him; he is unreachable, I am a yellow light beneath his illuminated sky. He is unapproachable; yet he is as sweet and tender; with charm as adorable as the falling snow. Once I could not slaughter the hilarity of his doings; yon picture kept breathing on my mind; torturing it boundlessly with throngs of witty jests! Oh my love, free me of this inherent misery: free me and carry me into the idleness of thy world; and rock me there. Silently in tranquility; I would embrace and endorse my love for thee; how long I to bestow this kiss on thy redolent dignity.

*I'll swath my cliches in over verbose decadence and ask forgiveness in the morning.* Edging      toeing the fine line in between Fighting to live - or - living to fight in champagne surged soirees of surreptitious allergens Some ******* ballad donning metalcore methods aggressive to a fault      that is to say, earth-shattering unyielding, unwavering, unapproachable un-fucking-believable You, me, they, we, truncated but never forgotten Had but never spent Forgotten but never lost Your name is in my autocorrect with siren songs and call signs from generational grievances, Chivalrous misandry, chorus discord callous Chandeliers swing low like chariots. Samson told us to keep dancing. We were only listening, abreast one another, clad only in our genres. We were so much more until we were lost, but never mattered.

One Wish
As I peer across the Mountain range of my life, I see a vast array of peaks and valleys, Roads that wander near and far. Some roads seemed unsurpassable, Some roads were thought to be inconceivable, Some roads I felt were unapproachable, And I see them all as landmarks in my life. The one road in the very middle of my lifescape, The one that's known for being less traveled, I so often avoided and I don't understand why. Some roads seemed impossible, Some roads were thought to be infallible, Some roads lead to intimacy, And I see them all, good or bad as milestones in my life. Standing at the base of the mountain top, I feel a presence encouraging me to climb the summit. My breathe becomes heavy, my limbs are numb but my mind is focused. Advancing the summit, I pull myself above the misty clouds, Peering below I find oceans of generations that have gone before me....but were never forgotten, And one stands at the forefront, with arms outstretched, an unforgettable smile, and love thats unending. There's only one road that leads us to an island universe where we live on forever past fatality. All roads have the same waypoint which leads us to forever. Close your eyes and imagine a place that does not judge and only loves. K.Carman 2016

The Journey Home
unapproachable she, an EMSA driver, framed by gasoline rainbows and held together by hairpins, sat on the back of an ambulance in a Valero station's lot, corner of 2nd and Kelly, a passerby might have thought her waiting, but I knew that to be wrong that radio would go off in the cab, heart attack, broken hip, sideswipe she'd remain right there picking at the sticky barcode on the back of her Bic lighter, she couldn't be bothered with the sound of sirens she had a history and didn't want anymore dates to dictate and memorize she looked through me past Fox Hollow Lane, past the unwatched children, past the rusting panels of ice cream truck, into that eternal place that I thought only French singers' eyes on album covers in the sixties could find--- unapproachable but

Let as many Bondservants as are under the Yoke Count their own Masters Worthy of all Honor, so that the name Of GOD and His Doctrine may not be Blasphemed. And those who have believing masters, let them not Despise them because they are Brethren, but rather Serve them because those who are Benefited are Believers and Beloved. Teach and Exhort these things. If anyone Teaches otherwise and Does not Consent to Wholesome Words even the Words of our LORD Jesus Christ, and to the Doctrine which Accords with Godliness. He is Proud, knowing nothing, but is Obsessed with Disputes and Arguments over Words, from which Come Envy, Strife, Reviling, Evil-Suspicions. Useless Wranglings of Men of Corrupt Minds and Destitute of the Truth, who Suppose that Godliness is A means of Gain. From such Withdraw Thyself. Now Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain. For we Brought nothing into this World, and it is Certained We Can Carry Nothing Out. And having Food and Clothing, with these we shall be Content. But those who Desire to be Rich Fall into Temptation and Snare, and into many Foolish and Harmful Lusts which Drown Men in Destruction and Perdition. For the Love Of Money Is A Root Of All Kinds Of Evil, for which some have Strayed from the Faith in their Greediness, and Pierced Themselves through with many Sorrows. But thou, O Man Of GOD, Flee these things and Pursue Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, LOVE, Patience and Gentleness. Fight the Good Fight Of Faith, lay hold on Eternal Life, to which thou were also called and have Confessed the Good Confession in the Presence of many Witnesses. I Urge You, in the Sight of GOD who gives Life to All things, and before Christ Jesus who Witnessed the Good Confession before Pontius Pilate. That thou Keep this Commandment without Spot, Blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's Appearing. Which He will Manifest in His Own Time, He who is the Blessed and Only Potentate, Thy King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Who alone has Immortality, Dwelling in Unapproachable Light, whom no Man has Seen or can See, to whom Be Honor and Everlasting Power. Amen... Command those who are Rich in this present Age not to be Haughty, nor to Trust in Uncertain Riches but Trust in the Living GOD, who gives Us Richly all things to Enjoy. Let them do Good, that they be Rich in Good Works, ready to Give, Willing to Share. Storing up for themselves a Good Foundation for the Time to Come, that they may lay Hold on Eternal Life... Guard what was committed to Your Trust, Avoiding the Profane and Idle Babble and Contradictions of what is Falsely called Knowledge.... By Professing it some have Strayed Concerning the Faith.. Grace Be with Ours All.. Amen.! GOD Is Our Strength, GOD Is Love, GOD With Us, GOD Bless, Peace n Love.!!

I remember when I surveyed your bare shoulder blades
 and the directions they tilted
 as you raised your arms to light and puff and flick,
 puff and flick,
 and how I measured the distance between
 right and left bones that peak and plateau separately,
 but are linked by my favorite unapproachable spine.

Anatomy Of A Hungarian
4/23/2012 Take me as I am Or take nothing at all Conditioned by my environment To fight or flght or just take the fall Prisms of light encompass the sin Rays of flame burn my flesh, such agony Yet here I stand, daring the worst Causing temporary blindness, butnow I can see. You seem unapproachable when you so desire The pain will subside, as you severe my esteem But that's ok, I've been through worse. I'll take another one for the teame. Wish you could truly understand, I am real Every disaquise and camoflage I use to guard my heart you see I've been so wounded in the past And for me, only the true, I can truly be. So will you risk it? Or is there too much at stake? Why do you lurk beneath the shadows? If I let my walls fall, will my heart break? You are so beautiful to me Even if you don't believe it I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted to Open your eyes to the true love you can get.

Fight or Flight
You stare at me with bedroom eyes A venus in relief Unapproachable and untouchable Is there beauty underneath? Puppy dogs and rainy walks And you hate men that are liars But, what we all would like to know What sets your soul on fire? Spread on the page to all the world Legs spread and showing all You're a vision of such loveliness I would wish for you to call But, that is just a fantasy Something buried in my mind A woman half as gorgeous I would spend all my life to find Years go by you age in life But you still stay twenty three For the image that I have of you Is the one that I still see Your poses are just perfecet I would love to lay one kiss On parts of you...untouchable But I'll just settle for this All others who came after you Were pale beyond compare comparisons of body parts and of course...your silky hair The centerfold you posed for such a long long time ago Haunts me like no other ever I just wanted you to know.

Letter to a Centerfold
When words no longer hold invite or excite that inward response That once so gathered deep within ones keep of the visions of the mind. There's a loss a disappearance of sorts that winged upon a fancy flies then dies deep inside the mellow chamber of dreams. The tears that once as years fades upon the old framed image that like a crust surrounds abounds the only affordable expanse the on vestige of what once were little filters of oneself. And here in photos are but the images that once skirted as the dreams within between and through and true like the soft textured rolls of film and paper, that now rests upon the tables, the mantels as reflections of what was. And the words still unapproachable fails to grasp or gasp the meaning of the visions that here once clouded a mind bright and full Through those promises of  days,  nights To rest, now forever humble To memories long gone.

The table, The mantel
Do you regularly wear an invisible, ‘do not disturb’ sign around your neck? Are you on a real mission for The Kingdom or on the adventure of a personal trek? Can you be moved to help without limitations? Are you consistently viewed as unapproachable? Does your mind reflect an attitude of a servant? Remember that genuine Love is always actionable. Forget about the wickedness of the World, for we are still the hands and feet of Christ. The day of reckoning will eventually come. Are you really living a spirit-filled life? When divinely recreated by Him within your soul, God imbued in you an inherent desire to do good. Are you involved with community or just hiding… behind the false claim of being misunderstood? Are you being led by the Holy Ghost’s power or leaning on the strength of human frailty? Can you identify your underlying motivation? Do you have an authentic grasp of reality? Won’t you share your needed talents with others? Can you name Him as a source of your inspiration? What is the prevailing condition of your humanity? Have you opened or closed your… heart of compassion? . . . Author Notes: Loosely based on: 1 John 3:17-18; Eph 2:10, 5:2; 1 Cor 13:1-8; Luke 10:25-37 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://amzn.to/1ffo9YZ By Joseph J.

Poem: Heart of Compassion?
a mouth full of cavities and lungs full of algae infested waters from sitting too long with no  escape from what traps us in these ominous, dank  gorges. gaunt faces with sunken eyes from nights too haunted to sleep swollen tongues with words unspoken from submission to silence in the face of constant deceit. words left in the veil of fog that masks the ground every morning over the once green pastures, stripping the color from the world, leaving everything grey  with the corruption of what once was what still is and what will remain. we lose ourselves in the unapproachable reality of what we have created what we were born into what we will never escape. we lose ourselves. we lose ourselves. we are all gone. we were always empty anyways. walking amongst the hollow men. we are the hollow men. we create the hollow men. we weren't always the hollow men. tell me how to fill these holes that  are found in our teeth in our lungs in our souls. where did all the substance go?

mouth full of cavities
they're all just tired of her twisted games her silly need to be wanted and desire for destruction that leads them all into hell's fire and inflames their souls their hearts are in fractions over a crazy girl who doesn't even care or even know what she is doing she is too busy getting high breathing in life and feeling unstoppable or sometimes unapproachable sometimes she wants to die she is tired too of her broken mind and its broken thoughts which drive her to actions so irrational that hurt those she loves those around her who tire of being there to care when she always falls every week or every day she becomes a crisis and breaks into shards only held together with her madness by starving and purging by cutting and crying she remains alive in one piece despite her sadness but those around her are now exhausted by her drama not able to take another day they love her but they must say goodbye before she burns them out like her own eyes her own soul is dead now she is alone with her disgust for herself and her own corpse maggot-ridden and sad she is left to mourn those she swore she'd never miss she said she didn't need anyone or their condescenscion and help but now alone she doesn't want to be like this © Tara India.

i’m wearing malbec lipstick at 330 in the afternoon, my own personal hue that stains lips and teeth, drips down my chin so a tongue flicks out to savor the drop. it leaves a maroon trace like i’ve been ******* blood. when i swill the wine, it captivates me. like i'm swishing around my own blood, praying enough of it sloshes out to **** me. i’m headed to catholic church in an hour, maybe i’ll light a candle for myself. god knows i ******* need it. i’m at that delicate lining, the in-between stage of the five stages of grief. the soft spot at the base of my skull. self-destruct button that’s so tempting, nestled between anger and depression. skip bargaining. take a trip around the sun. i've lost my hair tie and i want it back. i've lost my heart and i want it back. ******* give it back. reapply mauve lipstick the flavor of malbec. go to church. rinse the good off when you get home. i still feel him inside of me. taking everything. claiming it as his own, two hundred and fifty-eight hours later. like he’s stained me and now i'm tainted and unapproachable. undesirable. piece of plastic wrap that used to keep his heart fresh, now i'm trash. now i’m his.

drunk musings
Our love isn’t at ease, just like the wind in white acacias and like a bead on child’s hand, it’s not at ease. In it they miss – wonderlands, delights, flame and solace. And none of us will call it my own before it passes us on slightly. And it will stay somewhere – far away, unapproachable, uneasy. And yellow leaves will whisper in snows. Our love isn’t at ease. It isn’t at ease. The original: *** Не е спокойна нашата любов, тъй както вятър в белите акации и като мънисто на ръката на дете, не е спокойна. Във нея няма чудни светове, възторзи, пламък и утеха. И никой своя няма да я назове преди да ни отмине леко. И ще остане някъде – далечна, непостижима, неудобна. И жълтите листа ще шепнат в снегове. Не е спокойна нашата любов. Не е спокойна. *Translator Bulgarian-English: Vessislava Savova rarebird © bogpan - all rights reserved.
