There are those who say the moon has no voice
That it hangs alone in icy silence
Mocked by the twinkling of jealous stars
A corpse illuminated by cold darkness
The Werewolves would argue in her defense
For without her they would know no passion
Feel not the surging power of the night
Wander through life’s fog strewn emptiness
No voice, does she not whisper to lovers
Ease the clumsy angst of untrained lips
Calm in silver light a fearful darkness
Allow a muffled passion’s gentle howl
Her voice the unheard song in shrouded mists
That nullifies the lies of midnight’s trysts

women carrying
pitchers of water from far ~
blistering bare feet
drought being the fate
walking miles like rough camels ~
the sky seems to laugh
the sun shows no grace
nor the heat wave merciful ~

All have to depart
Sooner or later
None stays forever
Key is to master Exit Art
Soul sans body
Continues Divine journey
Revisits earth in another body
To mitigate balance 'karmas'
Birth-Death cycle continues
Till 'Karma'* balance nullifies
Soul then loses
It's identity to Nothingness
You are a tiny character
In infinite cosmic illusion
Honestly, play your role
Before curtains are down
Drop all desires and vices
Truth, Love, Peace, Right Conduct, Non-Violence
Should be non-negotiable Values
Master core of Art of Dying nuances
________
*Karmas - as per Hinduism and Buddhism, sum of persons action in this and previous States of existence decides their fate of future existence.

Pondering as one does
With nothing else to moan about
The meaning of life
I needed a metaphor to use
for inspiration
Until i came across
Schroedingers cat
Visualising the old t.v test patern
And wondered is if the freshly cleaned
litter tray put out this morning is
now in fact still clean or now dirty
And whether or not a cat cares
if doing his or her No 2 business
stinks the house out
Or if a tree fall's in the woods
being cut down before and in
it's prime
Playing deaf nullifies and
tenders the theory irrelevant

Timid upon standing
Flailing at equilibrium
with outstretched fingertips
Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable
for now and conceivably forever
Anguish consumes the frontal cortex
as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically
Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst
for pleasure and unapologetic indulgence
Sedated and aloof
Injected with a serum that nullifies
cerebral interjection
The mind becomes a host
for any poisonous intrusion
Undefended and vulnerable
Trembling in a remote corner
before ultimately succumbing
to a sobering silence

Amidst sizzling sky,
I hang alone there waiting
to embrace your pristine light
The pure light from you
nullifies my torid zone,
highlights my silver lining

Waves of freedom
Please sit quietly with me and watch the rolling waves
Listen how the other end of the earth brings rhythm
Synchronize your body to flow with the tides
Is there a cadence that will resign your level of stress?
Does the sound shave and replace that which lacks flavor in life?
Try to stay in trance with the sounds of the wave crashing
Absorb the pounding tides against the ageless rocks
Imagine yourself being part of the surf which nullifies actuality.
You are now relocated into a realm of living in freedom and admiration
This was true before the world grew dim and congested with static.
When you leave and disengage from this entrancing therapy
perhaps the rewards will entice you to sit again.

Keep inventing, strive for more
Create past the point of boredom, it's all from the core
The great wall, a human invention, can be seen from space
An ancient civilization made that impact, why stop striving for the stars if that's the case?
A message to the mad, a message to the sane
We must work together to continue, that much is plain
Wonder why? Wonder Why not?
Stay in that place, stay there to rot
Indecision claims too many lives
Indecision nullifies what it means to be alive
Think about how to grow
Think about the right way to go
Act upon it before it becomes surreal
Trust your heart, truly listen to how you feel

Scar-like Healings
by Odin Roark
Scar laden perfections
Where life's training wheels balance
One's child-like trust
Adolescent-like daring
Adult-like intemperance
Scratches
Bruises
Broken bones
History's incidentals heal easily
While
Challenges of the heart
Stalemates of the mind
Failure of one's dreams
Make endurance the battle cry
Invisible damages the struggle
Protection of identity
One's survival instinct
The personified continuance
At all costs
How weary our consciousness becomes
For
Around the corner
Lurks the underworld of lesions
Trusting not the scars
For finite as healing might seem
There remains the lesson to be learned
Time-released torment to be resolved
One's fatal wounds burrow deep
Ignoring the façade of mending
Knowing all too well
What remains buried
Are teachings
Damage never dies
Anguish never vanishes
The chameleon of pain
Nullifies one's senses temporarily
Rendering transient peace
While fate prepares
Tomorrow's pin prick
Wishing one to live
Not languish believing
Scar-like healings
Are real

I have been twenty-seven for many, many years now,
some Viking reminds me that swimming naked in the
warm sea nullifies negativity: the crawl out of problems,
the side stroke of being at ease, the breast stoke born
first in us when we want to hold our head high in the
sea out of caution and dignity, our head skywards
while floating on one's back is something else if no
flying machines appear just the blues and yellows
and white of the above all the love of smart sun
tasting nature's salary of well being in the blue,
or green sea like tea, with white tops as the water is
almost as close to us as a lover, keeping us afloat
in life bouyed up by our children, families and friends.

When I'm Gone
Will you get to know me
When I'm gone
After endings evolve into
New beginnings
When questions cease to arise
What is it about another's presence
That so often dissuades inquiry
What is it about knowing someone
Up to a point that signifies
Satisfies
Nullifies
And indemnifies against loss
Is knowing someone
Dependent on personal experience
Or can a well-defined shadow
Unseable in the sometime harshness of light
Remain spirited beyond yesterday
Perhaps
You'll scour the dim attic sanctum
Discover dusty boxes
Sealed up retrospect
Where passion's shadowlight still ablaze
Has remained unread for so long
I hope you'll get to know me
When I'm gone
For absence is but a convenience
Available to those seeking forgetfulness

He is despised by many
But he seeks the love of any
He sits pleading for a penny
But she does not help no,not Amy
He is mocked for his features
But he paints better pictures
He loves the wrong in all creatures
As he nullifies war's fixtures
He soars above the rest
As he builds love's nest
In his world no one is a pest
As this beauty is put to test

Sunrise, Oh aural hymn of spirituality,
Vibrant in it’s splendour and magnificence,
Sending nocturnes to daytime slumber,
Bathing life to a yawning earth.
Piercing the day’s birth with colours and hue,
The Master’s tableau, a glorious canvas,
Fiery paints, swirling strokes and defiant beauty
The bright facet of the world’s axial turn.
It evokes and invokes, feelings and awe.
Praises and raises, creation and spirits,
Vilifies and nullifies, sadness and hopelessness,
Resigns and consigns, acceptance and trepidation.
Strand by strand, it runs through the hair,
Pore to pore, it caresses the skin,
Squint by squint, it opens the eyes,
Every brightness warms a weary heart.
It bridges valleys and flattens peaks,
Resurrects death and ends horizons,
Humbles the great and strengthens the weak,
With its rays, its light, its kiss.
We are but an audience, paler and drabber,
Casting pathetic lines of self importance,
Feeble in our attempts and underneath its shadow,
For its languid phase is our mortal eternity.
When we are dust, entwined to life in death,
Ethereal and eternal and constant the sun remains.
Bathing life to a yawning earth.

Where diamonds shape a lantern
harlequins are taunted in jest,
which inaugurates the conviction
attracting an upheld stance.
They stare like a drastic mistake;
thinking it was a corn snake.
Warily, from side to side, surprise!
one way or the other fully fixed;
around those surrounding sceneries
hypnotic is the way its eyes transfix.
It nullifies a moment to the ground
container-like as bulbous ends disturb
like a death's-head rattling sound,
by this inconspicuous perrenial herb.
It is limp to the elusive sun approach
dictating to the forty five degree-
holds head as moments waiting there,
gardeners probe this mauve naivety.
It deceives so contrarily it contrives
I guess that's how fritillary survives.

By adsorption of resolve in your restraint
I see a newness contemplating Saint
as when a smallness intercedes, is faint
and solemn acquiescence nullifies complaint!
I see an inner spirit grow
and form as grace
as when God's promises are clear,
and voices from His urging's pace!
I see a molding fastness can't retrace,
that love's true depth creates without disgrace
I see a child of God within thy face
and mine ~ I see a Son spirit in pure embrace!
