Insistence-

Secure is my heart 
As I travel in the dark
 I am well aware of the darkness that's despairs 

I am not afraid 
For the light within my chest shines 
Shines through my soul out my eyes 
And I know in my mind I am blessed 

I perish the thought
 of being just a witness

               Dreaming of clouds watching frigid rain enfold arid ground

               Disjointed thoughts embraced soothing translucent fingers

I Know Better

I waited about six minutes but the person who was
going to show me did not come back fast enough
so I did it myself.

impatience is my first, middle and last name,
and often points out my laziness and swiftness
to depend on someone else to read the instructions.

I know better. 
I do better.
I am better than that.

The Route of Frozen Insistence

The Route Of  Frozen Insistence 

My life's path always leads me onto frozen lakes  
Stepping with cat paws checking for weak spots in the ice
looking for crevices listening for crackles 
Fearing the next step I take may end in a frigid plunge
I asked fate why my destiny can't be a route on solid

Guilt's Insistence

Guilt’s Insistence
                   by Odin Roark

One’s perception 
Often lingers amidst stench and flames
Where personal battles fought
Leave only wounds unhealed

Unsettling dust
And billowing spirits 
Weave through porous walls
Embedded with crustaceous regret

Such battered pasts
Remain painful
Awaiting our will to cast aside
Our self-imposed

The Insistence of Time

bearing down as the heaviest weight imaginable
it doesn’t look good in the mirror
it doesn’t do your taxes for you
it doesn’t read you bedtime stories when you can’t sleep
it doesn’t provide comfort when you have nothing but fear
it doesn’t allow you to rest when you have worked so hard
it doesn’t give you a gold star for

The Breathing Fog of May and the Insistence of Wednesday's Sun.

It's...


irrelevant


we're two stories, picture books rubbed raw and torn pages, he's


ripped


up the middle, down the lines of his face on the left and his right ear


dangles


over my toes when midnight falls, I watch him, inconspicuous, listen to my sleep.



I'm breathing, I'm attacked by May and I used to know lavender beneath the fog, I used

Child Insistence

Toy in the shape,
of a figurine,

Boy saw it,
and began to whine,

he had seen possibilities,
of frolic and fun,

he began insistence,
full throttle and gun,

he had an agenda,
different from parents,

knowing that,
he deepened his laments,

scared now for sure,
both became full aware,

that they had to quieten the guy,
so they simply bought the toy ware.
