Roar Poems

Premium MemberWhat Makes My Soul Roar



NOT BASELESS IS 

Not baseless is the ocean’s roar, the build up to that bass before 
it all comes crashing into shore, foaming it draws back for more
I’m sure that there are high notes too, perhaps too high for our purview
but to the sound of rock and roll, I find that sea has taken soul

Strength Does Not Always Roar

Fragility is quite a strength
just as the crucial bumblebees’ breath
Perhaps not only titularly
gentleness is stronger than severity . . .

Channeling Emily Dickinson : To be a feather in a holocaust
– hope, sewn in the soul, sings the song needed most

A minor thought on regeneration : To regrow the leg the mantis lost
– a marvel on

Premium MemberWhen Wild Beasts Roar

When wild beasts roar against its blood
Two grizzlies rise up in full swing
They'll bathe the field in crimson flood
When wild beasts roar

No ties survive what desires bring
Estrus whips ursine rage to bud 
For nature bows to just one king

Gone were their childish plays as cubs
Old bonds break for the sake of bling
Where one takes crown,

Hate not the clouds that roar;
Feel happy, seeing their outpour!		
Glare not at the chisels that cut you hard;
Mind, they turn you into the idols of high regard!

Roar of the Unbroken

She was not born in gilded light,
No tender touch to soothe the night.
The world she knew was cracked and cold —
A thousand truths she never told.

She learned to roar before she spoke,
From chains of fear, her spirit broke.
No silver spoon, no soft embrace —
Just sharpened claws and burning grace.

They called her wild, they called her

Roar of Reflection

It all started like a loose joke
As thoughtful emotions set in
Gradually spreading within him 
With the basements slowly wavering 
That the lion emerged roaring

Earned nothing when he fought hard
Impalas roused him up when he had rest 
Lost recognition as he intensely roared
Crowned a king if he couldn't run
Which sounded openly skeptical 

Should I relax? He

Too feeble to scare

a weak, tiring roar~
the same one that once shook the jungles...
now too feeble to scare.
Its strength fades to past glory...
as death lingers close to claim.

SILENT ROAR

Rose-hued sentinels blush beneath the azure sky,
While musings drift in amber's starry eye.

Anger, a serpent in the garden, slithers swift and sly;
Sapiens, cognizant of its venom, yet let the poison fly.

Train thy beast, lest it consume,
Not thy soul, but bonds that loom.

Aliens! I shouted above the roar of the blaze

"Aliens!" I shouted above the roar of the blaze.

Please rescue us from this godforsaken place
veritable hellscape, where angels fear ingress.

Just then an unexpected pleasant distraction
woke me from induced stupor linkedin to Los
Angeles fires jump/kick starting telepathic wife
high connection between yours truly husband
to a righteous leftist extraterrestrial establishing
an immediate cove Van Halen brotherly bond.

Here and now

Premium MemberLet Me Hear You Roar Dedicated to Empress Ink




Still breathing lilacs in a lustrous trance.  (Ink Empress)

Solitary flower loosely clustered kissed by the morning sun 
you are the flower of the hour comparable next to none

Dreamtime beauty with a hint of lavender and subtle pink 
you stand out among the others like an Empress made of Ink

Your mystic whisper is a murmur

Premium MemberSolitudes

Crowdy street at cloudy day  
Smiling solitudes in motion 
Can’t discern a word they say
It’s the roar of the ocean
Waves and splashes that repeat
Their eternal symphony
Mute the sounds of the street
Where I’m happening to be
Someone’s left a printed text
On the bench, in this wet weather
I can’t tell what’s coming next
Sheets are damp, they stuck

        Started peacefully in calm ambient.
         Out of blue loud thunder in cloudless sky.
