I could see stars everywhere, 
In every foggy corner, 
In the twinkling of their eyes
The exchange of goods, services, money
Some grateful and well-intentioned, others listless
Cold and accusatory 
Selfish and scared
I saw their lights come and...

You've visited me after a long time: Remember; once, I was brimming with might? Named babbling brook, revered as a singing deity, how blissful was my sight! Have reminiscences of your childhood, in my mellow...

Words. Have you ever wondered 
where they come from? 
No, I don't mean their etymology, 
rather where in the brain do they spring from? 
Thoughts come, and then go, leaving no traces of their passing;...

Some are sparks

Some are the sparks from a Parliament bonfire,
That fly ever upwards to spin and whirl 
amongst the stars and then are extinguished,
falling as a fleck of ash to lie amongst many 
in a...

“Beware the ides of March”.  
Thus the Soothsayer portends Calpurnia’s dreams 
Made real, blood staining Roman streets.

“Stay in touch”.
Parting words, soft spoken with questioning 
Gaze. What portent is this? Are my dreams
To shape my...

Memory

I am my memory.
This piece of the world, this brief sprouting
Amongst many thinking radishes, 
Exists only as resonances within 
Lacy neurons; Flanders’ delicate patterns 
Sustained by glial skeletons, 
Beyond the spider’s web or silent
Snowflake in...

Is this all?

Life is a country, spread before us at birth, its
Vistas stretching beyond the horizon, full of 
Mystery and anticipation. 

In the distance lie mountain ranges, 
Tall peaks of passion; this one the mother...

Vanquishing Fear
                 by
Odin Roark

Her unwritten diary
Read of descriptions
glittering private
Her hourglass of
diamonds
Where forever truly
destined forever

Her beauty made
artists shy
Their palettes’
ablaze with
unfettered...

Science is such bad faith.

Are we to believe that the cosmos, the earth, our very bodies
	Consist of particles as insentient and cold as the glacial mass of Jupiter?
That ordinary thoughts and strokes of genius emerge...

Calming, glistening, crystal liquid
Falling down, so easily predicted
Amid lush emerald green bushes
Whispers of sweet, fanciful wishes

Dreams come true on these banks
The panorama forces me to give thanks
It is a vista for lovers to share a...

Melody Maker

The music in my mind plays softly. 
It is quiet today. 
I can write and enjoy
each stroke of the pen
as it touches the paper... 
like a lover for the first time
with their dearest one....

Now hushed bleak sterile corridors
recall the cries, laughter and tears
of those once termed insane;
all is still now. 
Rooms behind forbidding windows,
shutters slam-dance lazily in the breeze;
all is empty. 
No actual cells, no straw on cruel...

They say one cannot embrace pure silence,
But can they feel the silence embracing them?
Our minds in pausing and transitions,
Could it be…that
Within our souls is an air pocket or two?
Is there a space that should be...

My muse is standing by the window
With his beck to me
Ignoring all my questions
His eyes filled with “empty”

I have started to think
That my muse has abandoned me
He is not taking me to enchanted lands
No words...

From the branches lifts a song of violins and resonances.
Voices from the wind are wailing fair lyrics of flora.
Sparrows whistling so truly amongst the mocking birds.
Though what sonnet is said from down below?
Orchestra of fauna.

 I AM DEAD BECAUSE I FEEL SO!
I lay wrinkled and knotted, trying to iron my crumpled self...
Vibrating with those ugly, gruesome resonances, I relive those horrors each day.

The pensive piano,
the ominous orchestra;
the gorgeous guitar,
the driving drums.

Deep into my being the songs dig,
the aching and yearning welcome.
I find solace in the solos,
relief in the refrains.

Every beat, every melody, finds a home,
and yet sends...

When it pains very hard
And when eyes can no more cry
The poet in my mind whispers
The words that I write

When I am happy and gay 
And when my soul wants to rejoice
The poet in my...
