Long Obstructions Poems

YangLeft: Those still capable of right thinking,
as our more civil
humane reflections
on bilateral political
and economic investment inflection,
sometimes cooperative
and democratically co-invested,
but usually just BusinessAsUsual
life remains a win/lose infested 
compromising 
ZeroSum political disempowering game 
deflection.

YintegrityRight: Sweety,
thanks for honorable...

Most mind boggling mysterious mortal

Mystification prevails stupefying yours truly
befuddled, he blindly stumbles along rocky
pathway illusory impediments strewn helter
skelter intangible obstructions hinder access
psychological barricades effective impasse

detains, deters, detours manhood maturation
manumission manifestation materialization
linkedin, when permanent submission arises

As we then thus rest in dynamic stillness of innocence 
Attentively watching with a loving longing
We detect ripples of thought as obstructive interference
Blocking us from with our lover entwining

Stilling not our stillness we now let...

I awkwardly, ineptly, and submissively fumbled thru life...,
whereat purposefulness rarely gained traction

Fatherhood (half my life time ago)
bolstered reasonable rhyme
manifesting itself before
these myopic bespectacled eyes.

Infancy, babyhood, and Childhood
evidenced, noticed, and witnessed
adequate basic provisions,
and no shortage of...

Mother gives birth to them
Earth gives food, shelter
Mother, earth both are same
Important ever and ever,

A little, they respect mother
Much disrespect the earth
Its animals, trees, water, air
They need, eat, drink, breathe,

They take them opponent
Like snakes, bears,...

Forcing his way through a ocean of iniquity and negligence,
As malfeasances and misconducts concoct a deadly storm of uncertainty,
Demons and guilt torment him,
Obstructions and obstacles challenge him,
Misfortune and tragedy overwhelm him,
As he is subconsciously enveloped...

Frigid metals twist like 
Banshees in shriek,
Making all who hear it fear it's threatening speech.
Cognitive cogs, turning out torture-
instigating further madness noir.
Pale green and gold in it's likeness.
Promulgated sickness.
Rusted iron dust to waft in the...

The journey is infant and the waters are calm
the boat is carried on soft waves as if sailing on a child's palm
as the sounds of peaceful streams sends a newborn to sleep.

The boat makes way...

They say happiness comes and goes, 
They say joy can not last for long, 
They say love is only a temporary thought, 
They say life ends after all. 

The being that I am,

Love’s Ebb and Tide
             by Odin Roark

Forces outside one’s mere wishes
Answer to only that which stays
Beneath the surface...

Oh look who toils up yonder hill
Of shoulders stooped and slow of gait
Garments hang off a frame once filled
The body drips with yesterday’s fate

An existence once filled with hate and greed
Ensnared in a mind of...

POTUS ROAST
Upon this dais I do stand
To recognize a seasoned man
whose sins outweigh his business flings
his golf swing or his ling a ding
To blend in knowledge then to stir
an alloy blend with amateur

Please rise
up to the very clouds, if you please.
The somewhat honorable marshal will preside
over the disorder of this court.

You have been summoned, gentleman,
on this very good Friday
on the charges of dullness and lifelessness.
The court will...

this place, such a reprieve
I am held without speech--
heaven's clouds Float aloft
like white Foam Froth atop
Fresh morning cappuccino

my chamber, allows comfort
obstructions lifted like air--
open Windows brush inside  
Wondrous Whispers of life
the breath of a...

Gentleman locks the door I hear
Click
The sound of it echoes in my ear
It’s time to begin, my interview…

”...come into site of me…”

A voice in the darkness calls
Silence becomes the walls and
He motions my move with...

Are you ready for the main course?

Teas cozies
Lace doilies 

It's just a decoy
Here lies the kid who was left home alone while is parents visited The North

To Come Back Again

It was a rampant effort to exploit
By trying to anoint and then appoint
A certain person who needed nursing
Regarding reading poems and rehearsing.

How ironic that they all had elected
A certain way for it...

When I leap and they will be mine?

Stretch the neck to peak above...

Other times the way ahead broadens into...

Rain falls on granite.
Glaciers unwind.
Snowflakes decrystallize.
A murmuring stream collects,
in the confluence of the melt.

A river is born.

Her banks expand.
Nutrients collect in the torrent.
Rocks tumble in the frothy white water.
Speed and power intensify,
with the reshaped swell...

Within the confines of the prison
Lies an abandoned soul
He’s looking through the shattered prism
For emotions to take hold

He’s searching for the pain and pleasure
To acquire a human form
Within the exploration
Begins the evil storm

Security is distant
And...
