How Pale the Poem!
(An Echo Poem) (1)
Are poems lovely as night's stars?
Aren't all more fireflies viewed in jars?

The Gift of Being
With trepidation, loneliness, and fear,
I called to you
And you lived pristinely
You lived in my heart
I heard their mystical, sage voices cry out
“The one you seek is coming,
Oh so soon is he coming!
And what...

Ode
By the Color of My Sin
Hearts only grow harder
and flesh is never thin,
Some are much explicit
while others hold it in,
Dare i let it lay
on the surface of my skin,
Lest i be judged
by the color of my sin.
A man of tobacco's...

Exclusion
I know the game of exclusion,
have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.
Exclusion from normality,
the joy of inclusion.
Exclusion from continuity,
the malaise of discontinuity,
the permanent otherness.
It's a mystery how it...

Floating
The people of this world are like the three butterflies in front of a candle's flame.
The first one went closer and said:I know about love.
The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and...

If I Ruled the World
so many unknown variables to consider for such a tasking pursuit
a conditional ‘If’ but what if ‘whether’ reigns in a supreme challenge
conjectures battle refutations and synapses blocked in surrender
as long as suppositions succeeded in their...

It Happened
I hated myself.
I hate myself
I am hating myself.
Torture.
Is what I do to myself at 2:33am when I'm thinking about how much of a waste I've become, am becoming and how I think, think about...

Delusion
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion - Jim Rohn
Without meaning, your mind may portray delusion,
so some search for answers to end this illusion.
Is it that simple to cleanse a life from confusion?

For the Children With Fire In Their Blood
‘I didn’t sleep well last night’ is all you say, as if you sleep well every other night, as if you don’t have more important things to do, heavier burdens to carry. Rivers running through...

Regrets
Regrets
Regrets bleeding into an endless ocean,
I discover myself falling through infinity.
Grasping, unconsciously, the reality of the world.
Icy air warms my skin.
I’ve never felt more alive than when I’m dying.
When will I find peace?
Buried into the...

Bendie and Twistie
I’m sorry
I know that it’s a little dark
And my words are too sharp
I’m sorry
I know that you’re averse
I know that you’re averse
I’m sorry
I don’t mean to distress
Or get you thinking less
Of me
I just suppose I...

I Don'T Think I Can Do This
Cruising home from the driving range.
My collared shirt free of cigarette burns…
58 in November, hit’em pure
Pushed back against the wind flirted with woods
Everything should be peace Turners...

Verse
Shall I peer into my looking glass, my darling?
I stare at the girl through my looking glass.
In her smile, self-deprecation sighs.
Voices in her head whisper chaos,
as she screams internally for attention,
begging any deity above to save her.
Oh dear, doesn't she know?
The looking glass...

Coasting
I pretend I'm alright
And put my best stance forward
Wear my brave face
Tryin to be smooth
Just tripped on my shoelace
What's a girl to do
Busted, razed, flat broke
My foot slipped off the pedal and into the spoke

I Cried For You
When you cried for me, heart
Fallen on calloused knees as I supplicated
Blood thrumming in my ears
yet running cold to my finger tips
Face distorted, eyes tightly shut
but in my mind's eye...

Love's Pawnshop
Love’s Pawnshop
by Odin Roark
Unable to pay the debt
Love is often pawned
Sympathy as a claim check
Stuffed deep in pockets of suffering
Such self-deprecation roams the streets
Perplexed with using...

CHOOSING A BOOK
Every book in the profusion on our shelves
Tells a story that invites us to engage
Draws us with wonderment to turn the page
But yet more, recounts some truths about ourselves
Seeking new diversion for...

American Revolution Reaffirmed
Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.
Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.
But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled...

Tree
A murder of crows screech my funeral song,
disturbing the eerie silence that surrounds.
Heartless hands have left scars etched into my crumbling bark,
as bleeding sap drips upon ivory sands,
which fail to comfort the aches of my...

Personification
Leave Them Laughing
She, Gilda, would run into wall -
he, Chevy, orchestrate fumbling fall -
simply to invoke chuckle, chortle,
titter, spontaneous guffaw.
Carol’s impersonation of lone cleaner,
Bob’s deadpan unsmiling demeanor,
spoke on some basic level to all -
providing service of social...

Purple Fountain
Reaching in the frigid cold
Searching for a hand to hold
To give me hope
To give me strength
In the hallows of my mind
My psyche unwinds
Diving in black water
Trying not to falter
Flirting with disaster
The craving of...

The Death of Ian Incognito
The world a stage,
Shakespeare noted.
And we the imposter,
in our final call.
A few catch our last show.
Unwitting, they s on cue,
our fatal prelude,
our convulsive caricature,
our final self-deprecation.
A clown milking our last mockery,
our closing burlesque pratfall,...
