Long Bell ringing Poems

"The Forgotten Legion of Rose Thorns"



Reversing roll calls
the Anti-Hero 
jumps through 
burning hoops
instinctively

bathed in the magnum glow
designed to fire cartridges
with a kick like a field gun
a bloody victory 
is eventually won

lacking conventionality
novel and picaresque
placing bad...

Your mother's Universe resounds inside you 
where you are every single sparkling star 
in every planet’s sky, the Galaxies are vast you see, 
in you she’ll never die.

You are all the...

The Power of the Manifest: 





"Love Nest"



Dinner at sunset, 
the delectable table is spread 
before a vista of deep pink, 
burnt orange, persimmon 
and shades of violet blue, 
below us emeralds linger
towards the sapphire of...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-too-familiar frustration
I yearn for something more
You're the one that I adore
You're the one that I adore

You deserted me long ago
The wind moves to and fro
I was wondering where...

Am I dreaming 
or have I dreamt myself awake
I can’t seem to discern 
between real and fake
What’s right 
What’s wrong
which direction 
should I take
Am I reasonably responsible 
for the many mistakes I might make

Backward bouncy...

Bent on reprisal sword in hand
Gonzalo and friends paddle ahead
To Alcácer Do Sal where Christians
By Moors are held
Concealed by dusk 
Disembarking their boat
Toward the city bravely walk
Hiding from view they observe
Moorish girls and men sport...

7-COLOURS
It was in the cloudy and dewy morning
Pulling across the wet trees
Lonely but needed no one.7 rivers swam
7 roads carefully crossed 
Yet my rainbow unfound

Horns loudly sounded
The bell ringing loudly

Having walked immeasurable miles 

With the...

On these occasions, 
I realise the feelings 
As spontaneous as a surprise,
Time went by at a lightening speed,
And it feels like a decade since your exit.
When life seemed quite easy, 
Having nothing to care about

The world has been cruel,  
The people are unkind,
They walk around aimlessly, never knowing how blind, never knowing the time, never knowing our lord, Who's love, is what we cherish or love so dear?...

Period-wise, we used to arrange the bag,
Every book was covered and have a name tag,
Waking up early in morning, get ready to go,
May homework not done, but never were low.
In assembly, that anthemn, and prayer.

What is a power more strong than hate?
something that ignites and flames through the golden gates
something that fuels every prayer 
and gives an angel their wings
(more than just a bell ringing)

What power can carry us...

My mind is void and compelled by echoes vibrating space between amidst and within boundaries of walls keeping what's out from in and what's in is imprisoned by liberties bell ringing again. Decieved into freedom...

Time's Birthday
          by Odin Roark

How daunting it must be
Choosing a celebratory date

Invention adrift
Save the blue veined appendages
Holding firm the drift of time
Like a floating surreal image

Before nothing stopped me
from having unlimited fun, 
forgetting how I breathed...
because He let me live freely;
somehow, I would see how wrong
and silly was my thinking, 
never looking beyond things not questioned,
kicking stones for rage and...

There is one to my heart I hold dear
Never as such - have I ever
Truly loved and been sincere
Thankfully still together

Her beauty no doubt, as I never seen
Rosebud cheeks; a glorious smile
Glowing  with such...

The leaves rustle,
As the trees tell their story.
I lean against one and water it with my tears.
I walk on.
My pace slow.
I remember when I was young.
A child of three mabe four.
I ran among the trees.

When the Parakeet increased his squawking
with the noise box ceaseless talking
far louder than the muted city roar.
Then I pondered that curious poem about the lost Lenore
About that bedeviled man and the raven Nevermore
How I envy...

A.E.S has done it again!

I mean, I've been sitting and thinking

Thoughts so vain, waiting. Waiting

For the bulbs to flicker then "ding"

With bright white light once again.

 

A few minutes before the TV roared

In the Bernabeu...

let white roses be planted for lady "tee"
to grace her foot steps, 
white berries fused in her garden
to press you sweet wine
snowy snow snows the earth
that your pink sapphire shoes
you used to walk on me...
