Long Erosive Poems

“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me
“Looking for directions.
The town you’re seeking is a few winding roads and...

Commodities calmly caressing. Calling carrots. Calling capers. Calamity is not an injested window wiper nor a window sill so dare to jump off a pinnacle to declare justice. Arachnid akmed. Duty done. Swerved to serve....

I saw a gorge, a remote vision from distant, far far away from the surface, how sharp, how precipitous, how deep!

A  singular, unsurpassed, cavernous  cleft;
a crevice among two gigantic hills, how intense and steep!

The rocky...

Ooooh wow...a nice classy fortified wine dressed in a milky white dress. Shimmering for all to see. Injest not the erosive clatter of a purple frog. As it is far to dangerous. One may end...

Dare Listen
            by Odin Roark

Time chooses to whisper,
Having endured shouting decades,
A species’ feigned listening,
Maelstrom's obsessive noise-making.

Still persistent
Is but a parade,
A just married tin can...

It warms our hearts and improves our mood.

Ice is the strangest substance
upon this earth then yet it
is seen as insignificant by
many.
It forms from water-droplets
within clouds, flowing rivers
and even in oceans where energy
is forever in motion.
It floats when it should sink;
density is transformed...

A HISTORY OF ONE DAY

Seven and the hated buzz assaults my ears, 
And in a half-hour I am in metro-hell  crowded.
In a glass box, with a thousand pole-hangers loaded,
Each pretending not to see the...

A weblike interior is not a gut feeling. It is an erosive quantity of golden hue with the goldsmith involved being the mind's eye. Mindful mindsets mingling many manuscripts momentarily. Regardless of format and zone....

Exotic egos evade exit endings, encompass=ing eccentric

Travelling along the time-carved corridor of life
I filled the brimming bucket with buds of wishes,
some withered, didn’t descry the dawn of the day,
some bloomed, pleased me with beguiling flowers.

One such fulfilled wishes was the journey...

The day life was given to a boy.
His eyes had been enveloped over the skyline.
Small boy, large hope, small boy, large home.
Before he had a chance to flourish,
He had been given a different purpose.
Nervous with...

Wake up Nigeria whilst it is still day.
Your darkness thickens in the hot summer sun.
Wake up Nigeria from your spectators' fun.
Like a titan to the slaughter, your way
to financial hades might be certain.
Awake, or your...

Call me worthless, call me a failure

Tell me I'm good for next to nothing 

Say it how I see already

I know my hopes are inevitably filled with agony

For in my heart which I keep locked...

Your love is corrosive
Caustic
Eating away at my sense of worth
Scathing
Your words
More so your silence
Burning away 
The tender fibers of my heart
And I smile
As I’m being eaten alive...

Vitriolic embraces
Scorching simply because
They are too brief
Too perfunctory

Erosive kisses
Eroding...

Of Saints And Sinners

Within the sacrificial selfless silence
The seditious spirit stands in defiance
With salient scars of eternal echoes
Amongst the meditating melodious meadows

Sinister sins compound in complexity
Where demon deeds are devoured devilishly
Macabre masters of the medieval...

My soul is dusted dry the well is bare
No more tears but the pain still there
Secluded solitudes in my own abyss
Frozen fantasies of the love I miss

In sacred silences standing still
Dancing demons devouring will
In vastness...

Eractive verses
dissolve in
circumvented
waves of
irreal words
& surreal swords
(mill for the grist)

Versating ellisions
mutate in
discombobulated
wordclouds of
maloverted lords
& diverted hordes
     
Egestive extremism
emerges from
specious endgames
& epic sadism
   
Mismusing holists
grope for hope
within mischievous holes
& eternal...
