Patrick Orourke Poem
Quest for My Beloved
Caught inside the silence
Silence creates in me a deep need to know more
Wisdom met me in my dreams
She spoke of life it seems
Wailing toward the doom invaded skies we sought the people who seek Love
Oceans of screaming noise
chatters who do not speak
Lurkers who silently weep
Kings and Queens who do not dance or know they need to advance
Under bridges under cars
Under the ground we saw the clouds
Mountains of shallow ground they seek a bard and found a crown
Taverns or courts we hold in trust
Flowers or knights we must enter the circus
crown the clowns in their wilderness
roads toward cities or states of roses escaped
our freedom is such a peaceful vengeance

Patrick Orourke Poem
Traveling within the darkness.
In shadows I am hidden
Clinging to the light.
Love overwhelms me.
Upright I stand.
You are my mirror.
Reflect the sunshine.
Abundant hope fully alive.
Washing the path.
In trust we found peace.
Who is our King?
Sanity to reside at the round table.
Questing for silence.
Gain the favor of sorrow.
Taste the air full of magic.
Ask and it is ours.
Take nothing for granted and pledge to trust in Love.

Patrick Orourke Poem
I begin the day
Arguing what I need to say
Fleeing battlegrounds
Missing you when I ask for more
And you stepped away
Asking where did you go today?
I am seeing visions of shadows in my mind
The demons inside me cry out for light
And I sought salvation from my alien dear
In webs of death I saw my bones shatter into dust
As I wake my blood runs cold and My senses lose control
You never came to save me now I am dying all alone
I begin my day asking if I lost control
through the broken sight
We lost everything we stood for
As I stand alone
I never knew you did not return
Before I fall asleep
I let go of the shallow souls
Spirit speaks to me, Mirror lets me take control

Patrick Orourke Poem
Waves of terror shock my core. Divided by silence ever more.
Echoes of rocks falling from my grave, A river flowing toward another day.
As time moves on, the shelter holds us forever strong.
Questions of madness arise and I am Wakened into this morning fright.
When I sang songs from a distance, they warned me I was only missing.
Recall moments of oblivion, as shadows cling to my existence.
Darkness has not overcome us and Our light guides us through this storm.
Will justice take us toward the oceans edge, can emerald skies give us peace or will we watch the end tonight?
Hunger gathers stars that do not move. the wandering lights get me into my groove. Cast diamonds off toward the Abyss. In void I sought my answers and kings bent their knees to the roses.

A patriarch falls
Clear summer morning fog stings
Family silent

Patrick Orourke Poem
Allow the rain
Hunt for berries
Echoes cast our shadows
Accept the start
Deduce the summer nights
Lemon scented mead
Initiate the Eclipse
Escape the Bunker
Silver snow storms with warm shelter
Protect the youth
Educate society in past innovations
Allow for Patience and Understanding
Create solutions to advance Humanity
Erect monuments to recognize Greatness

Patrick Orourke Poem
In dreams I found a vague disguise
Wounded by stark remorse
Joined with death
Favored by Silence
Married to echoes of distant futures
Bound to oceans of spirits
Grounded in science lost in faith
Trusting my awareness to be supreme
One with everyone only One is all
I am who I always was and will always be who I become

Patrick Orourke Poem
Wisdom gained from pain
Lost tomorrow sentenced
Shadows think me insane
Tortured and blood soaked stains
Detached from earth yet dependent
Wisdom gained from pain
Memory lies in the rain
Star gazing got me contentment
Shadows think me insane
Free to play games
Facing my own are sentenced
Wisdom gained from pain
Screams lament my gains
I enjoy refreshments
Shadows think me insane
In chains I am lame
Darkness leaves me unrepentant
Wisdom gained from Pain
Shadows think me insane

Patrick Orourke Poem
Let it Rot
Let it rot like the dead thing it is
may it become like dust
may it never be remembered as anything good
Let it Rot as nothing and be forgotten as a failed experiment
In time I hope it is remembered as the monster it was that ruined so many
may it never return when it is finally gone from this world
May we always guard against its return when it is gone
Let it Rot forever for all the death and misery it has caused.
Forever may Freedom be fought for and forever may communism rot like the cancer it is on history.
Let it Rot!!
Bai Lan!!

Patrick Orourke Poem
Vitamins, chained to shallow waters. Buried in a cave. Below the world. I stand ready. Waiting for more. Seeds of sorrow planted deep.
Mercy or remorse. Shadows aside I sense you near me.
Nightly rain sparks my soul. Sheer pain take over the globe.
Holding fast to what brings comfort. Joy and Bliss belong to us all.
Ascend the sky and mount her clouds.
Journey toward the visions end.
Cosmic peace and faith to follow the wind. Wisdom in bundles.
Hope restored insight to seek the waves.
Questions tempt us to answer our calling.
Shape the stone and crave it into life.
Knocking the wall down.
Doom quakes the foundation of the earth.
He drew a deer that fled toward our home.
Still I stand in delight craving my own stillness.
Meet the owl as it screeches like a bell.
