Long Perceiver Poems

GOD & ME

They told me of God, his name, essence, demeanour
Men of knowledge, wisdom and inside information
But I, lacking such arcane wit, being  only a gleaner
Inspecting what I discerned from my simple station
Found that...

Whispering wings ~ feathers afloat,

   Molting and marvelous, magnanimous

      Wonders, alighting in familiar places.

Each feather remembers the warmth,

   The pear-shaped...

I am...

a lamb of the Good Shepherd; seeking to love and follow him more faithfully

the husband of my college sweetheart; with her, I hold a winning lottery ticket

a family man; seeking to make my clan...

Reflections

Reflecting upon – is a dangerous game to play.
For it leads to flawed judgments – unreasonable expectations.
Expectations are seldom realized or met by others,
difficult to live up to by others, or by one’s self.

I've got to find something
Some kind of cure
For everything that hurts
I've got to cure
Loneliness
Heartache
Repitition
Stares
Insults
Emotions
I've got to be quick about it
Smart and quick
I've got to be myself
I've got to be less human
Less alive
I've got to be
Even...

The foggy snow hats the mount peaks,
The chilly wind frosts all snaky creeks.
The shelter covered by creamy layer;
Face of a pane of the wistful thinker.

The clear icicles cling from the gutter,
Like the tearing of a...

Shadow of Ignorance
                    by Odin Roark

How pervasive
This innocence
Turned weapon
Casting as it does
But silhouettes of its reality

Just Like Father


For every single day, you’ve watched me
Remember how’d I express my thoughts
My feelings you would express as yours
Daily routine, together we stumbled to practice

In your humming, I fondly put words and...

The strides wide with determination,
Through ups and downs of the day’s admiration,
A life of bliss and diss with undefined procrastination,
Gone wide and wild with the days’ words of deception,
Of emancipation from defined virtues of misconception.

Hear my special child’s alphabet features
Eagerly, he mumbles with sheer delight
a-ape; b-bear; c-cat… dear God’s creatures!

D-dove; e-eagle; f-falcon… birds of great flight
g-goat; h-horse; i-impala…all in Noah’s ark
j-jaguar; k-koala; l-lion… oh, what a sight!

(*I dedicate this poem to Sylvia Plath on reading her life and works.)

Oh, the wrinkled face makes me sad
When I look my reflection into you.
I know you are always true
Without preconception
And never change the reflection
But...

At 62 year's young, many truth's in life I've surly found,
yet not by the truths that other's claim to be built on solid ground.

 I'm here to ask all who read these words in which...

perceiving both sides
at once is as
of an equality
within...

an eclipse-moons light that appears dark and
hence light and dark seem as knotted
mind concepts

Imperfection becomes,
the beautiful face of impermanence.

One dying flower,
enlightens a whole field of blooms.

to all that is born to flow.

The river does not ask which way?
The rocky riverbank crumbles,
because the water declares
the unreality of...
