Best Contaminant Poems

Energy’s Suffocating Gallop
                                  by Odin Roark

Ancient blood soaked sand
Plumes its sticky residue
Beneath...

A tsunami of black ash blankets half a world
Trash toadstool hoodoos, wastelandic pillage
and pollutant mucus ravishes lava villages
Draining is the amalgam mass at the end of the spectrum
Stone environs shock, unnatural landscapes 
Polyethylene islands flushing the canvas
Carbon contaminant fumes flair in mid drift air
Virtually no...

The sage was hard to find,
and shook his head when he was asked
about a world view.

He said there was a goal in it.
Always some contaminant emerged
to take away the lustre of a selfless act
so death could not complete its liturgy
and leave behind a vacuum, a...

You are the person that gives us choice.
A person that has a familiar voice.
You're there when we feel both smart and dumb.
We know not who you are, or where you come from.

We may unknowingly see you several times and not say hi.
Later we realize we...

Hands of seared flesh
Clinging to my chest
Salt and sea
Blowing gusts of pain
You think me evil
You think me wicked
I do this all for you

A hundred years, it’s been
So long, and yet again
I burn from the passion
Gallows, I face, press in
A hundred years, I’ve come
Through every inch...

The floor scrubbed raw but still they reflect
Stains from my own mess of stupidity and regret

A contaminant leper for all to see
This holy place I should be forsaken to be

My tainted soul shown through the cracking mirrors
I do not deserve even one of your tears

This...

Nothing new in the electrochemistry 
It no longer is a scientific mystery
Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon
Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn 

Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed
Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed
Fiery verbal duels, by many...

“I have five friends; a Christian, a Buddhist, a Sikh, a Hindu and a Muslim. Each speaks of a different God or truth. Who should I believe?”

“Belief? Is that not a mind game? Is not blind faith self-hypnosis? Depending on where we are born, we...

Like the vast sea creatures,
We too are different and rare.
All have different features,
But these differences some scare.

We are fish swimming in the vast sea,
Some blue, some green and others brown.
We are all fish yet only differences some see.
They see a certain color and on it...

Ida
Pingala
Sushumna
Or nebula 

Cold breath
Hot breath
No breath
Know breath

Three known channels for the flow
One burns, one cools, one is mellow 
All provide a connected glow
In pristine stillness imperceptibly slow

Abandoning focus on technique
Let us take a sneak peek
At harnessing the enableability
While preserving our sanity

Pausing doctrines of theology
And electrochemistry...

5.1
“You are immaculate,
touched by nothing.
What is there to renounce?
The mind is complex—let it go
Know the peace of dissolution”

5.2
“The universe arises from you like foam from the sea
Know yourself as One
Enter the peace of dissolution”

5.3
“Like an imagined snake in a rope
the universe appears to exist
in the...

Carve into the birch trees, pollen breeze my air to breathe. 
One more cough and one more sneeze until it’s over. 

Tissue paper mottled with blood and yellow-green mucus, tearing and dissolving from tears. 
There is always salt in my mouth these days.

Veiny leaves in...

Golden Harmonies of Existence

Grace falling in essence of pure gold from the sky
Place the lightning bright vision from the centre of my third eye 
Embrace the old derision as the armies can only try
The lace of division lights up the angels in the sky 

Benevolent...

Hidden in the valleys
Towered by mighty peaks
Lies the church of rejects
The church of those called weak

Those the powerful sent home
Out of strong belief
That they were a contaminant
Not worthy of the Chief

Rejected by mankind,
And seeking hopeful refuge
They travel long and far
To the Church who comforts me...
