Best Frictions Poems

Kindness is rain
that waters dry plants
kindness is oil
that removes life’s frictions
kindness is gold
that adds value to an alloy
kindness is butter
that makes dry bread a delicacy
kindness is white cloth
that wipes tears of the tortured...

The forest floor stretches drum tight, bound by verdant slopes, a timpani of sound.
First greeters of rain’s onslaught, leaves trill joy, form larger drops, a deeper sound

While tires rumble freeways flowing through suburban sprawl like spring flashflood
That envelopes older, gravely rich, established enclave’s tombstones. Gurgles...

In this world controlled by the clock
we know nothing else but time
ever since birth knowing this in life
whether a watch or wall clock to chime

All of life whether school or in work
the alarm keeps us on one's toes
start and finish at the right time
never changes...

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea 
Created a baby that left its mommy
Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room
So, lets asked who’s the bigger ***?
A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair
Puff of smoke...

Nature loves diversity
just as air abhors a vacuum.

Stability lives in staged apposition with diversity
as Yang predicts Yin,
as time moving stably forward
predicts time imagined more diversely
as the history of regeneratively slow-evolving Earth.

Stability, without conjoining diversity,
is a highly subjective attribution
when blanketed across a lifespan,
when covering a generation...

HEAVENLY UNION
I know you will not believe me-but-it is like I knew you before
From the day of our communion there was this eternal connection   
This is indescribable; it’s like reviewing history of our union that was heavenly made
Our yesterday colliding with our present,...

bicycle shows ignorance of man
it summarizes man’s limited status
the most inefficient machine made
tires burst as often as possible
spokes break with no warning
frictions are all over the joints
chain breaks and breaks and breaks
very unstable two-wheeled machine
humans have fallen and broken limps
but man still uses the bicycle
as...

If winds do not blow
And rivers refuse to flow,
If Moon and Sun close their eyes,
My strength will not wane,
My love for you remains strong,
Which can`t be displaced by flood.

What deep smiles have joined,
Thousand miles can`t  separate,
Though distance creates a vacuum,
Thoughts remain the same
And our...

Infatuation 

Your beauty was a façade 
I saw what I wanted and not what I needed
But behold, as I dug deeper I only found
The things that even God might’ve frowned 
As smooth as a snake, being slimy and fake

You know what they say
What doesn’t kill...

Real bliss

A kiss in the chick of a toddler
Bliss of heaven cannot compete brother
Newly born babies are complaining
Why upsurge in village and towns?

Why people barring them even to weep?
They have no demand of separation or region
It is absolute violation of their rights
To be grown up...

Forgiveness will almost never erase the hurt 
that the deed has inevitably caused.
However, in that hurt is where I realize 
who and what we really are...

Humans are not built to supress,
nor to put on a mask, to impress—
to pry and to rage
like a demon in...

Dream-Blisters
         by Odin Roark

“…Like the glow of star-dispelling lights
rising, 
saturating air
from 5th Ave
to Trump Towers,
to the Bronx,
atop the bridges glinting brazen shouts.

“Hurt and pain guised as success,
a purulent throb of discharge,
woulda
coulda
shoulda
now, 
like always,
decorative wounds,
cover-ups
flung high over and...

What do you believe and why do you believe it?
Our world has shaped who we are physically and spiritually.
We are different colors, speak different languages and have different gods based on where we were born. The accident of birth, location and topography determined who we...

Into the silvery moon beans stepped
a damsel most comely, hair spun like gold
shiny dagger at her waist kept clasped
towards her victims she  was so ice-cold

She enticed them into her dark world
there to seduce and send them insane
captivated them as round she swirled
once they were...
