Solitude is my time to claim !
Solitary is my adopted name !
Solitaire is the name of my game,
to play away these hours of mine
until there is...

A smile crawls onto my face.
What a strange feeling to be happy. 
I spot him within the crowded mass of zombies.
He flashes a smirk my way.
My cheeks flare a vibrant pink.
I can feel the warmth...

An angelic figure glides among the damned
One who is not quite angel, yet not quite so much as human
More like something in between the lines of both barely hanging onto the title
With eyes that paralyze,...

Learn to heed the warning
of queer and ominous tale
the weird of Solomon Crowley 
his madness and long bewail

Once deemed as prominent prince 
sullen noble becomes fallen wanderer
deepest rages drive burning thirst
the burden of daily desire

Living happy and content
is to celebrate the lilt of life
a treasure gifted by God.

We join the celebration happily
with gifts wrapped nicely
in flashy wrappers designed to capture
the eyes and to enrobe crafted pieces
of our unclad hearts...

Fiery Lotus blossoms in my mind,
as I sleep the sleep of the blessed artist,
pinwheels of spinlets of gold of finest finery,
gold from the dresses of pouting princesses,
that spin and blossom in spires of artistic desire,
that...

Soft and deep, dark eyes hiding secrets from yourself,
Making up your own realities, while Truth waits upon the shelf.
Haunting, it waits while the spiral ascends you,
Taking you higher and deeper into yourself;

Making up your realities,...

I look up sometimes, when surrounded by green,
To things above, which have yet to be seen.
In the dark green forest, with twinkling light,
With golden rays, that fade into night.

Long canes of a glorious and wonderful...

Cotton Bootie Enlistment
             by Odin Roark

How innocent the booties of birth
If only their cast remembrance
Might remain but nostalgia
 
Instead

Their bronze symbolism
Merely encases a...

Striding into the snowy fortress my tepid heart at double time 
paces
Entering a pine colonnade sprouting a wintry mane, saddled with 
velvety laces    
Cloaked with icy needles forming a brittle, hooded trellis
Golden beams seap...

Sav[i]our
The white winter mist encases my lungs, 
Like the smoke of my last cigarette did; 
Sweet, soothing, real. But like me, not bitter.
For the longest of times, I could not speak.
I could not sing, and...

A dry and barren moat
around historic tower, London’s pride
for many years in restful dormant mood
dreaming of days gone by
when swords clashed and armour creaked;
the yells and screams of battle filled the air.  
 
Testament...

Once the dark of dilated pupils eclipsed my saffron sanguine irises,
Sucking the luminescent astral soma as does a tonsil to a virus.

A face of a phantom doth float in the folds of the frigid night,
Scowling...

The clouds of turmoil spread on the dank sky
cast shadows congealed in the closet of life…
dark inside for it encases the moonless winter night.
I know it’d try and try till the last star fades away
to...

Love is a verb means more  than just words
Let me tell you more love is action not words, love is
Love is a verb
And in your decision make it your mission
To honor God first and...

My little treasure with such large and needy glistening eyes
She has an angelic face so soft her rosy cheeks do beam 
She is short of stature though within her she encases a large loving heart
She...

Cars are the wind on the streets
semi-truck wheels shriek thunder,
rain shatters against stone and brick walls
on dusty roads, oak trees fence with twigs—
wushu wooden clatters.

Dreadful arrays of dryads
azure and amethyst gossamer haze,
sleek, silken strikes gist...

My eyes screamed as the blinding yellow light latched itself modest self upon me.
Why?
It happened so fast—so unexpectedly.
At first, my mouth watered as the taste of peppermint fermented on my tongue and the scent of...

I scream but you don’t hear me
No, please don’t go
The darkness encases me
Please just stay
I promise to change
I promise to try
But you don’t hear me

I cry but you don’t see me
Tears of silver scars
The darkness...

I am Libra 
In every way, in every emotional sense 
I am the white picket fence 
That encases the complexity 
Which makes up all that is me 
I am me

I am the chameleon 
I am...

Angrily, rain enfolds the insular rise of lawn undulating. 
Anglers dream, envious fishermen, inside looking out urging 

apostles, who elope within imaginary onslaughts, hooked unburdening's.
Aloft, thunder encounters lightening's insistent taunt, oracles fearsome uttering's.

And still, each...

Another autumn past
dappled leaves pirouette upon the wind
spin upon the currents
where the rivers torrents round the bend

The blueberries foliage
take on their raspberry vesture
in explosions of color
to bestow joy in the seasons gesture

the glacial ice
encases the...

The tapestry of the indigo sky,
weaved with the strips of silver cloud, 
merges with the still sea in the blues.
The dislodged boulders strewn as dry debris,
away from the waterfront of desire,
symbolize my broken dreams.

The anchorless...

The brook babbles. Journeying off to its destination with little care for the world about it.  White beards form over its banks like a thousand wise men coming to watch it's voyage. There, in...

Ivy draped portal
entrancing
a soul
within a sun 
enclaved in gold
made by the Fae
those wondrous beings


Is this real
what I’m seeing?


A song of joy
so sweet to the ear
Earthbound souls
never will hear
a veil
it panes
the sound 
of the Fae
forever and...
