Unprecedented 
Capsized dramatic ship-
Obdurate smugglers.

Every action resounds as an echo,
on its ripple you dance
to the music of life,
not composed by you.
The truth dissipates unrealized 
within obdurate ego.

Deep rooted longings in the heart,
Emphatic and obdurate in temper,
Salubriously nurture the imperial thoughts,
Intripid expressions are bound to stay,
Realistic approach will shape them true,
Endless efforts await in optimism,
Solace to desires abode is inevitable !!...

Objurgatory crow lookout
Cawing to obdurate friends
Telling them to flee fall garden
Opossum grins by Persimmon
Because berries gone as are figs
Every animal has eaten fill
Ready now for winter's rest

Excitedly written for:
"Fall Is Around The Corner"

Choppy sea below the cliff,
Obdurate ground beneath my feet.
Admiring the landscape,
Stimulating to my senses,
Therapy from nature.
Azure sea that meets the sky,
Lavishly growing heather and gorse
Punctuated between the ferns,
Absolutely beautiful,
Tempting me further along the path,
How I love my walk.

Be optimistic rather than fatalistic.
Don't squander and be elated hedonistic.

Retain moving; only the obdurate survive.
Hand jives your way to contrive.

Slump or solidity must be omitted. 
Wear awe mood when having moved. 

Don't be shy in taking elitism.
Self-reliance is a wedge of realism....

My “Obscene” messages
Have been seen by all.
Eyes twitch at the blue and grey bubbles.
I am disgusted.
They are disgusted.
We are disgusted.
A pungent smell,
A sour taste.
My senses have been contaminated.
One through five.
All of the above.
Gone.
Just like that.
Just one glance at fun-filled,
Childish words,
And you’re sick.
I feel full of regret,
But regret nothing.

Listen to poem:

Veil of Fear 
David J Walker

Sometimes the sound of 
Foreign voices
Fall from another room 
Call from the molten plume 
Of obdurate choices 

Carefully folded 
in the tomb
Of the sacrificial lamb

Ask the enlightened 
Who understand 
Who can elucidate
The meaningless darkness 

And expand upon a
Personal vision with 
The starkness of
Incipient light
Latent derision
Intimate sight

Dissolving a veil of fear...

Wisdom wild wavering wyrd, wonder of winsome ways 
Ostentatiously opportunistic, Orpheus oneiric orchid, 
Marvelously mystical mirth maker making man amaze
Ardently argumentative, and artistic accenter; avid
Nymph. Naturally nurturing nostalgic nidulation days 
How do I praise the sweet excess in you, the grace
Oozing milk of kindness, compassion that bore me
Obdurate beauty more profound than the pretty face?
Dance dear dreamer devoid of drums drizzled memory....
