Visions Troll

Subject and Object,
who builds the bridge
From either perspective,
to laud or forgive

First person invective,
third person retort
The toll for each crossing
  —forever deports

Meta-Prayer

Persons have personality; Personalism -
Recall what MLK Jr. learned at Boston U
A creator God is a Person, so are U
Yearning to know The First Person I pray:
Educating soul, body, spirit the Jesus way
Revisiting hate, avarice ... Before going away

Unbaking a Cake

If i was an ant
would my fathers sister be my aunt ant
and where does the d come from in pigeon
but sorry for the derision
Wanting to be the first person ever to unbake a cake
and if our knees bent the opposite way
What would our chairs look like

Premium Member She Commands the Clouds

She tames the sky
She commands the clouds
They get their orders from her
They do as she says

Does she rule by fear?
No
Does she rule by right?
No

Why do the clouds listen?
Because she is sassy, and confident.
And she is the first person to command them.
They think it is great.

To My Dad

The first person to hold me on the cold winter night
Out of all the stars in the sky, to me he is my saving light
His calloused, shaking hands guiding through my fright
His only care is to raise me right
The love for each other, is never out of sight
His hugs,His scent, His love always holds me tight

Patterned

a freedom-fighter with a gun
a Jihadist with a gun
a lone-wolf with a gun
a redneck with a gun
a survivalist with a gun
a good-guy with a gun
a bad-guy with a gun
a hate-monger with a gun
a vengeance with a gun
a first-person-shooter
vigilantes and vigils 
a patterned proximity

Flashback

Disgust
Guilt
Fear
I felt dirty
Trapped in 2006
Experiencing the cold floor
Seeing from a 3rd person view
While feeling from a first person experience
I could not leave
I was stuck in a memory
Of unbelievable horror
14 years later
Haunted by the actions
Of someone I trusted
I loved 
Betrayed in an instant

Premium Member Loving Wiggly Worm

he wore a green hat with a red flower
he was my bestie, and I adored him
the first person I saw in the morning
my bestie, Wiggly Worm

there were three creatures hanging off him
two bugs and a butterfly
they all three had enormous smiles
they made my day in their vibrant colors
I loved them so when I was two years young

Beloved Things In Life

The most beloved things in life 
Are the things so small
It could be a hunters knife
Or the sound of a newborns call
A young boys first kiss 
Or a young lovers bliss
Something everyone may at sometime miss
From a pet
To the first person you ever met
Keep these things close to heart 
Because these are the things that make life worth living.

Premium Member Edge As Despair

I get the feeling that people are telling me to step back from the edge.
I don’t know where to start with people anymore.

I get the feeling there is no edge.
I usually start with my eyes though my heart is a sinking ship.

I am apprehensive over writing this in a first-person narrative.
I get the feeling I’m telling myself to step back from the edge.

My Advice 

I read a poem, yesterday
About just made me cry
This person wrote
They frighted one day they'd die
I said hey buddy, 
You know, you only have to close your eyes
And when you open them again
You're gonna get a big surprise

My Heart Belongs 2 You....

You're the first person I think of 
Each morning when I rise 
You're the last person I think of 
at night when I close my eyes 

You're in every thought I have 
And every breath I take 
My love is growing stronger 
With every move I make 

I've proven that I love you
these words are overdue 
I'm giving all I have to give
because my heart belongs to you

Premium Member Poem As Surrogate

Poem as Surrogate
                    by Odin Roark

Streaming messenger
With expression unchecked
Imagined ink yet to dry
The page fearful of touch
Find the eyes
Beneath which awaits the meaning

For

This frame that lives also as picture
One's fleeting first-person impulse
A captured inner focus shared
Clings tenaciously
To the world's lenity
Every poet's temporary forever

The Prisoner

“I” is just a concept made by mind. Siddhartha Gautama

Mind has to dwell in a coerced seclusion: 
mind is a prisoner of the conclusion
that mind is mine. I share your letdown,
my mind. Minds cannot shatter the illusion
of the first person singular pronoun.

Premium Member Snail Overseer Is Sluggish Today

The snail overseer is sluggish today said the ant.
Mouse and rabbit laughed at the worker’s rant.
He’s the first person you’ve complained about today.
Three unhappy snails ran the other way.

See what I mean? The ant groused, all grumpy.
Our new snail overseer is sluggish, lazy and frumpy.
That’s what he can’t stand, the mouse said.
I know, rabbit agreed. Ants work until they are dead.

Numb

There is nothing I am hoping for. 

There is not even anything I am waiting for. 

I no longer care about who I can trust. 

I suppose I must trust the first person who emerges from the fog. 

Even if they have been following me for the wrong reasons-

I would rather have a stranger by my side. 

I suppose I am numb to the pleas of my own family. 

Who now live just outside my memory.

Love

love is the first point of HAPPY.
love is the first step to HEAVEN.
love is the first line of the HEART GARDEN.
love is the first day of the PEACE.
love is the first relation of OURSELVES.
love is the first person of our LIFE.
LOVE LOVE LOVE.....
ITS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING.
spread the LOVE. at last,
love will be the last point of your FAMILY.
that is LOVE.
LOVE the LOVE.
LIFE WILL BE GREAT.
LOVELY.....
