Premium Member A song need to sing

A song, need to sing

Memories passion recalls a voyage of enchantment that now, drifts upon silent wing.
Memories, songs written, serene melodies from a mysterious voice that once did sing
sweetly to this old soul, music brought to life by this Exotic, Oriental Beauty, Xiao Ling,

transformed, brought back to life what had been lost, to most men of age for many a year.
Throughout times passing the mist that clouds, mysteries that shrouds brings with it a tear
and with it, crystal clear knowledge, a knowledge that what once was no longer is and fear.

A fear ???, or a realization that life, for this aged, old soul has come down to aloneness.
A life time of being the lone wolf, has brought this old soul face to face with emptiness.
An emptiness that permeates the hours, the days as he reaches back to a time of happiness

Happiness that only comes on the wings of those who have and are showing thoughtfulness
by inclusion into their Societies, giving purposes for this loner to know more than selfness
as a way to fill in the gaps between family events and the long walk toward contentedness

that seems to lead back to the music that this Exotic, Oriental Beauty, Xiao Ling, gave to me
as undulating waves rolling across the stilled body of an Oriental lake, stones, you see
thrown, come from this old soul, causing this body perfect to create ripples across the sea

that once laid before these pleasuring, desiring, chocolate eyes to experience, to explore
to feel the energy flow from French kissing those sweet lips, hold shapely hips once more,
Memories passion still recall all of what once was and no longer is, unable to close the door.

Trial and Error

trial and error
we live in a world of imperfections
were we are always on trials
we believe to be smart 
we claim to be perfect 
through our creativity
we run a world of blindness
through our ignorance
we bleed more like Christ
and we keep feeding fake hopes
in our own deformities

trial and error 
we living in a hard time 
a critical time 
like a time of nemesis
were we are confronted
with our reflection
combined with shadows of fear 
originated by our ignorance
in the mess we created 
called the system

trial and error
we living in a trapped
mad men world 
we living in a time 
of greedy rules
we living in a time 
so dear but brutal
we keep trying 
trying to make the 
world grow on a
selfish mindset 
were love is only 
but a question
of selfness
the world don't gave
no humanity anymore

trial and error 
our civilizations is not 
in balance
our religion can't keep 
peace among us anymore
our humanity is on 
a zero point 
our care can't reach out 
to the needy any more 
our prayers are selfish
our desires are routed 
on greed
our egos flitters 
isolation 
yet we keep trying 
like always
 but at last 
we fall on error's
despite our perfect rules

What is your confidence?

You may notice someone in power
Wealthy in either financial fortune
Or social freedom, or popularity
That makes you feel inferior to keen

Thereafter, you wonder the reason
Underlying all the distinction between
You and them, and effort for alteration 
But for whatever reason, you fail to gain

Thereafter, you turn to loose hands
And show obedience by pretending
No jealous of others luck and setting in
And forcing  yourself hypocritically
Obey and flirt them by forbidding your mind
Of being dignitaries and persistence in truths
To be in cavity alike pets and tools
Without selfness and auto dominance

The doings you act are biologically right
Aside from being morally wrong
As evolution says , the doctrines are urged:
The finner you adopted to the environment
The greater chance you win the competition

But where are the moralities then?
Come on! they are hiding in your soul
Wondering when you  are going" to be"
Charitable person, otherwise, hooligan!
Then tell me, what's your confidence
As a human who is morally sound
While also biologically win?

Dreams Distant
                       by Odin Roark

The child slumbers as well
Eyelids aquiver
Like his father’s 
Synchronicity remaining awake

Such innocence
Carries wariness as well
Kicking away covers
Giving escape to the spirit
Often held captive
By parental clinging

How difficult for some
This acceptance of a person’s selfness 
Challenging such identity 
As if it were not progeny’s to possess
Exclusively

Not unlike love
Such emotive singularity
This unique cosmic enigma
Knows well it must first unto itself be true
Belonging to no one
But itself

In the power of its will
Torturous sleep sometimes
Renders today’s yesterday and tomorrow
Seemingly averse to moving on

In truth
Closed eyelids shelter destiny’s assimilation
And professed separate souls remaining silent
Dream of one another through the distance
Continuing their smile of oneness without end
