Landsbyen -Into the North- An Epic Poem 80
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How simple are the circles in which life turns
How strange are its tangled fingers
Through intricate woven tapestry burns
The wonder that yet lingers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They made their way to the mercantile using the paths less traveled, Lumi hiding...

The Shore Temple of Mahabalipuram
The mirtangist may never willingly hear
may not want to hear
the multaiyam announcing his cue
nor the melodist aware of the flautist's right
to the change in the raga
the plucking of the yal strings
to the goatskin drummed bleats

Wonder’s Darkness
by Odin Roark
He knew wonder well
It could cancel fear
And bestow courage
A nexus for survival
A predawn beginning
His solo-climb of the face
Thought crazy...

TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME
Tomorrow I shall have children
Who shall be answerable to me,
They shall cover my grave when
Am gone to meet my ancestors.
That is the dream of marriage life.
Tomorrow I shall sit with the elders

A Moment Long Ago
A moment long ago
The farmer said he needed sand for the fenced-in chicken run
Off we went, hooking the cart to our tiny female horse that had
been so sweet a foal, she was named Dokka (doll)

Let the Wind Be Your Eyes
You can hear the whispers of your soul as you
stand quietly in tune with a vast universe. As you
let the wind be your eyes, the birds your voice, as you
listen with your heart as you...

Barn Life
I miss the barn, the hay loft,
a place to listen to the midday sun
creaking through old wood.,
the small clouds of horse flies
moving as one in their jet-pack bodies,
that rose and fell
their small engines...

A Spirit In Her Ear
Love maker,
Body taker Love shaker,
Hot whisper,
Peppermint & jasmine in air
Tickling every body hair,
Reverberating into the Queen's chamber,
A tiger's den teething to be,
Safety in no layer, romance the pillar of this prayer,
Our auras igniting flower vases...

Kentucky Mustang
October gallops in as stolid as a gray mare,
a blunt wind snorts furiously through autumnal trees.
Foliage rattles, but does not fall, it clings still
to green stems.
Appalachian backwoods have tough roots,
shod as they are into an...

Pandora Seated At Wrigley Field
(Poetry) let it thicken as it stands.
Let it be beautiful, unharnessed verbal rage or
song or deed, or graven image set in stone, where
walls fell around some demagouge in
some ill-remembered time.

Progress
Cattle trucks drive highways now
where drovers once held sway
Heavy rigs of chrome and steel
replaced the horse and dray
Gravel tracks of rich red earth
that rambled near and far
Have disappeared forever
‘neath miles of hot black tar
The billabong...

Betwixt the Lines
Betwixt the lines
Run the mines
of unharnessed love
Like an arrow through the heart
where does it stop, where does it start
How do you know what each day will hold
This day this year, please stop the cold
Through this...

The Wind and My Heart
"The wind is the pounding of my heart."
O heart just blow! Do not pound like a hungry hound!
Be breeze! Do not turn into wind and roughly bound!
When you're gentle, you're soothing and caressing bride,
Beauty-concentrated; blemish...

The Winds of Change
The restless breeze moves
rapidly through the grasslands,
like a rippling sea of waves.
Flocks of birds draft one
another as they cascade
through windswept, cloudy skies.
Whipping winds move hastily
across the ocean waters,
as sailors fill...

Kruse Rhodendendron Reserve
When fire raged and burned it's roof, sun rays fell to forest floor,
And lit upon scraggly flowers once doomed to bloom no more.
Then unharnessed, like wild horses, the shrubs began to fight.
Each year they grew...

Secret Caverns of Mexico
My cavern bursts with bittersweet aura
— like globose berries, a cluster of tints.
The secret place — its musk, amidst the flora,
a limited conquest of feet — their prints.
Excitement rocks — I wade in hidden space.

Lily Snow
Mist shrouded lilies in the darkness
Glistening off the new fallen snow.
Torrents of emotions unharnessed
Beneath the mother moons glow.
Lids of diamonds blink lazily
Carrying lashes of golden water.
Over sapphire skies of Hazel
A velvet cheeked lily martyr.
Offering the...

Sometimes I Just Write and This Happens

Watched souls of the heartless acid rain on and varnish

To a place where we were love royally
Where I was your Queen
And you my King naturally
Somewhere in the in-betweens
We lost sight

Fairies In the Garden
My garden brings the fairies,
you will never know the hour.
The sun may just be peeping
past the apple tree in flower.
See them? No! But I discern
pixie clues they leave behind:
the fragrant thyme they danced upon ....

A Second Helping
Of the dark, offered in the morning cup,
and the chill of salted caramel cream,
spooning after an impervious dream
and clink-clink spell of alarum abrupt,
comes the ceramic to sip, birdsong up.
Fruity-caffeine drips into the bloodstream.

Human Traffic
Unharnessed footfalls meld with bike ricksaws
as antiquated oil belching buses roar.
Limo drivers bull their way door to door
to the sound of dangling baskets of macaws.
Hawkers shriek their wares without pause,
