Long Far as the eye can see Poems

- JANUARY -

A freezing cold evening

Where the stars shining bright

With frost blade flanks

From mouth and nose steam

In the clear silence

White untrodden snows

Nature's frozen pulse

Sleep like a little baby

One gracious moon

After the night the...

I romanticize the single room without a jurisdiction
If only I could filter through a voice of logic over reaction 
Would it impel my inner child to regress into an illusion?
My mind composes a structure but...

THE CHAMELEONS

Give credit to the chameleons, they blend right in

While in deep sleep tuning fork synchronized circadian rhythm in pitch perfect qi

while channeling the energy of Google

Being a lefty, I blame...

America
I´m here to bring you
What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem
Another heartsick plea
Worth less than
Chewed gum
America I’m tapping
At your window
At 3 am
With a bag full of
Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

Five in the morning
Orange and red glow in the east
A new day is born

A single rain drop
Looks to be the final straw
Now the flood begins

Albuquerque view
Volcanoes on the mesa
Since the age of time

Once green and...

A diverse array of flora and fauna reign majestic 
in vivid tawny imagery of shifting sand dunes 
and barren rocks-- sixteen miles
from the golden rays of western tomorrow.

Time is played out in crucial moments of...

An Aria Beyond A Silent Dream

Just yesterday, I was dreaming some love I’ll never have
And now I’m sitting all alone, smoking… this night

Like falling stars...

I’d heard of Persephone, that beautiful earthly maid, 
Who’d vowed her love to Hades, although her mother forbade –

But Persephone visits still, embrocating this soil-...

As happy as can be

Sparkling aqua waters as far as the eye can see

Dare Listen
            by Odin Roark

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

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

Throwing its pale glow against the blue wooden floor
Arching up, the only way to see it, I behold something magical

A dark shadow grows upon the ground
Trees and fences and...
