Deepening Dusk
                by Odin Roark

How might this relentless approach of final darkness
present its final moments before curtain?

The acts have been rewarding,
even as the protagonist and antagonist
missed some cues,
made a few...

He stood there on his balcony
And looked like Mussolini,
But ripped his mask off, like the chains
Encompassing Houdini.

The message that he thought he’d sent
Was “Look at me – I’m healthy!”
(As well as being powerful
And popular and wealthy.)

Yet that’s not how he was perceived
By viewers ‘cross the...

I'm looking at life in a negative night
When I should be glancing it over with a positive light
Beats me that I've not made it to the finish line
Competitive compromise (working together as a team) could connect well with the concept of appreciating components and loving...

Take deep breaths and inhale love reborn.
Times ago in a place a meadowlark could not sing.
Recreate the romance and mend up all that was torn.
Within a unbreakable fortress a Queen reunites with her King.
Those dreams of falling towers are left far behind.
A refreshed phase of...

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom
Prudent are all who live by it Psalm 111:10

AREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO have gotten past fear-motivated worship and
Punishment-avoidance spirituality?
Didn’t God-as-Big-Brother step aside for God-as-Loving-Father?
But is it not “fear of the Lord”
Still one of the gifts of...

Laws of co-gravitation
are more like mutual invitations
originating with NewBorn memories
wombed by MotherEarth's DNA
WinWin empty Reed of Paradise potential.

Vocational streams of gaming wealth
held in healthy mindbodies
WinWin revering
and LoseLose fearing
co-incarnate journeys toward ever more healthy integrity
and wealth-cooperative sufficiency
of mutual co-operating authority
co-acclimating flow of co-investors.

Not competing WinLose monocultures

In the whispers of the abyssal night, enveloped by the ocean of my ever-deepening emotions,
Here I stand again, submerged in the sea of ancestral pains, choosing to ignore and numb a life of torment.
My memories are crashing waves, each shattering me into fragments,
Threatening to reveal...

deepening stillness quietly
by accentuating presence
and softening attention
in receptive silence
enriched by trust and love
melding with the flow
of the one consciousness 
manifest as individuated form ...

deepening stillness thus
devoid of lower mind
memory imagery rested
as also expectation
or anticipation
cognisant of each life pulse
as of bestowed enableability 
flavours of divine imbibed...

I was thinking............. 
about you and I 
Shadows begin to fall 
Upon our bed 
Sun sinking 
Deepening sky 

I was thinking........... 
About you and I 
The warmth of you 
Sun sinking............ 
what I want to do 

The flash of the arrow 
Straight and true 
Hit...

“we must get out of our own way, so to speak
that the elixir divine, may inwards seep”

Bliss influx foiled by our own hand
Erst memory binds and confines
Stalled by mind, which would understand
Whilst heart vibrant, with love aligns 

Both doing and non-doing fail 
Bliss influx foiled...

As the messages quietly sync, I feel the deepening absence of replies,
An abyss slowly swallowing the denial from a heart weary of waiting and longing,
My greatest fear, the unknown truth, now takes shape in the light of day,
Coming to claim its rights, a bitter fruit...
