Best Nescient Poems


Premium Member Ethereal Lanterns
As the holy season commemorates revelations of scriptures,
Sacred flame burning within, reinvigorates soul’s intellect,
Steering away from the fallible, toward realms of perfect,
Away from servitude of wealth, to caring for less-fortunate;

Empowering wisdom, vying sapience of enlightenment,
Inspiring collaboration in sanctity of spiritual exchange,
Rejecting overtures nescient, engaged in...

Remember Me
Remember Me

Cold wet coastal today
I escaped
Sat myself behind a sanctuary
The rain beating rhythms
On window panes
Hot coffee and brandy
Warm inside The Athena Café

Radio spends its missed tuning
Hissing tinny tunes
Love songs
Of losing
Love songs of having
Love sings
Of wanting

Blank the grey sky 
Flattering  dreaming thoughts meander
On emotions wandering
Focus...

You Never Know
Coup d'oeil, you tried to comport
For your sake, I obscure my discomfort
As a man of refinement, I dismiss bizarre incitements
Yet the verity of my deeds I shall say in perspectives most iridescent

Compulsive are your manners, and impulsive your mouth
Which rattles and spews out dotty words...

Shadow’s Passion
            by Odin Roark

A child’s imagination holds light’s oft guised presence in wonder,
As adult recklessly consume its flame of spirit and heart.
Left behind are ashes of once conscious pursuits
Now reduced to icy coals...

Premium Member Who To Believe
When we silence the noise, of our electric clock 
wake-up, turn on lights, and our coffee pot 
Should we feel shame, for what we have done 
or in blissful ignorance, greet the morning sun 

millions of people perform this ritual everyday 
Without thought of consequence,...

Suburbs
When I hear the voices of little children
early at dusk just before twilight comes
with their faces cloaked by
the shawl of innocence
waving goodbye to the setting sun,
my heart leaps for joy;
as I watch agape as they jump, chatter
and clatter with such intense vigour
on the open green...

Spaces Between Time
Lost between the passing of moments
Unscathed by times constancy
It is your spirit adrift upon the Ameles
Disregarding your earthbound verve 
Now a spent and forlorn wanderer…

Lapsed between the transitory minutes
Unabashed by any human wont
Your placid essence seeks explanation 
To the changing pieces of the enigma
That illumes...

Compte Rendu
Hollo Pollo nescient today.
Their life in a suitcase
Crosses boarders from savage soil
Into habitats - Plight untold.

Fear and accomplishment juxtaposed.
Shame and relief, young and old.
Many a promises being sold
Cloudy moonlight - your story unfolds.

Back in time with Stone Age truth
Fights for flesh
Oh ! The colour of...

Hearts Amiss
Don’t play like u wanna kiss me
If u miss me
Don’t hug me 
see what happens if you try and touch me
Untouchable

Stop.
That just makes me sound pathetic 
I don’t get it
Guess love is a confusing thing
Always down and causin pain
Till it happens
Then it’s beautiful
Romantic
Larger than life
Gigantic...

Premium Member Afterglow
Afterglow of purple passion beneath silk sheets.
Cordial cherry crimson of their cheeks taste sweet.
Blue veins like the Parisian Riviera - a lover’s retreat.
Bodies, turned left and right with twining finger pleats,

Sizzling after fronts combine, nescient of Winter’s sleet.
Her flaming strands askew on his chest. Pounding...

Today ignorance uttered words in the court of kings,
as we waited too long for coruscation of brilliancy, 
serendipity smiled on nescient,
and crowned rebellion for one hour.

utterances from idle lips ,
foist on  passerby along nature’s path,
As filthy rebel from the woodcock progeny,
Spoke with grandeur of...

This sudden warped concern for ampule, 

the cruel force of world dictators,

these psychological taunt of the media, 

Nescient chemists controlling our minds,  

tycoons uttering lies in egoistic motives,

these pretentious drama of publicized jabs,
 
enhancing their personal ambition to rule,
 
these old prime ministers at...

alkali streets
bleed with the dreams of
humanity, angels in
bootlegged Blahniks

flutter wings of
dubious intention
a silent wisdom of the gods
spills empty pockets ...

gilded pillars of
Olympus, brought to
ruin by pushcart
pariahs -

the tattered pages
life scribbles on -
a cursive profanity to rub
each nescient nose

sawbucks for
flesh by the warm
handful - strains of

The Tree In Our Heart
Every man’s heart is a terrific tree of desire
It sprout so fast as a mighty meaty briar
Born from the seed of error it grows
With wrath and pride as the trunks it shows.

With nescient roots it spread deep the soil
And suck inane water with rootlets that...
