Risqué
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Pretty are eyes;
tickled by the midnight
Lost in the space of time;
to those who gaze into them.

As with a shadow;
that lurks behind innocence
A grey cloud of smoke;
in a set fire of one's risqué.


                       Seems the night let's;
               the light of you come out.

Perceive
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Perceive, triest understand love;
      As a child, seeing many try;
As a young adult, I made my attempt
      Following in man's knowledge.

      Spoken, was their love;
Yet with a tongue rolled under itself
      Seen, some have claimed;
But without center of an apple's eye.

      Some do hid to mind;
But quickly listen to heart's feeling
      As only a few;
Hold truth, facing love's grip trap.

      One by one we fall,
Into the deepest parts of love
      For a large and long,
Number of us at a time fell in love.

      A nose dead cold;
Running it through snow
      At the highest of emotions,
But no being can subdue its drug.

      For love is many,
Beautiful, tragic, joyous, painful
      Maddening, sentimental, wicked
Ignorant, wholesome, challenging.

      But what then is love,
If not perceived as all understood?

Stitches & Knits
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Knitted together by colours,
Thread by all experiences.
And through God's Love needle;

I'm stitched with his image.
Living in a material world;

But in an the after-life,
No longer in its texture.

Awake
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
The hand, could do the heart's job
    Still a blind man's work,
  Would toil him to his death.

   All of his dues are robbed;
    A job always awaits him
   But to one who can't see,
How do they count their failings?

Who can run from responsibility,
    feet counting their steps?
Counting all; the amounts of it's due
      For debts to be soon met.

          Play it safe may open one,
   To be safely tucked away in graves.
         They seem to be a waste?

             But open your eyes,
             And be wide awake.

Mouth Scars
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Wet, are my eyes to my faith
   It is lost in the air;
Echoed of the latter days,
  Shrunk from voicing prayers
Without a measure of pleasure,
  Sigh, I'm caught in a snare.

Weights narrow on my eyes,
Wondering what more they carry
And could I fit into a world's people
That doesn't carry my size?

Speaks of how proud you are of me,
   But not so often it shows
Shouting doesn't motive me to move,
You should know it leaves me scars.

Roll your tongue under itself,
   Gentle tone your words
Seize to speak, if it disrupts peace,
   Stopping listening to yourself.

Heal from Mouth scars.

Teeth
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
A knife twisting-
at all my thoughts
Marked by bites;
hands between your thighs
Adorning your soft hands;
feeling their touch on my
closed eyes.

A magnetic pull;
calling you to my place
Tied together to flesh;
slowly after pulling away
The lace.

All colour in your cheeks;
apart inside my shirt
Holding onto sleeve,
how so do bodies greet?

Slipping whispers;
sending out to the lips
Only after a bite,
is there a gentle kiss.

A cusp of emotions,
of which I can't control
Do you have the guts;
having me stuck like
Something in your teeth?

Pink Taxi ♡
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
I was without a map;
Searching my purpose
Stuck behind the peers;
Sitting in a Pink Taxi cab

Always stuck in the past;
Without my heart's fire,
I must of run out of gas.

All troubles on my back;
Thinking time to unpack.

With all collective items,
things in life I never had;
Penning down thoughts

In unread poem forms,
All in my old notepad.

Prayers feel their dammed;
Wellbeing isn't in demand.
Waiting to be pulled in;

Like waiting ocean sands.

So I'm riding off to nowhere;
towards a No man's land
With a lack of confidence;
As I'll get there in this,  

                       Pink Taxi cab.

The Sounds.
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Tell you to-
shed your skins
Leave yourself exposed;
and without our clothes
Who knows what-

        All depends with the sounds.

Mouths
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
The heavenly sights,
Widen out lights;
Metaphors of us kids fallen short
On a mad machine with a couple missing bolts.

The ocean's power, outweighs
The endless stars,
A sparkling star of many
Glowing pearls.
But pale is love, youthful at a Certain time;

Counting on what's yet to come;
We've casted down shadows of
Our doubts
In the chaos of a silent world.  

Having the hots for each other,
Both with feverish hearts,
Picturing flashes of our kisses,
Meeting a target with tongues
Acting as darts.

            But neither mouths admit
                 They're actually in love.

Change or Chains?
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
"In a time where the only time
someone gives an honest blessing
Is after you sneeze

But even then,

They're only doing it
out of a heightened instinct
Rather than actual genuineness."

"Maybe if we were keenly
focused on self change
Adopting change;
letting go of your chains

But many;

Want to pray for change
but never spare a cent towards it."

"And a blind fool
works himself till they bleed

But;

Only takes it as sweat;
never seeing all they've spent
On all they've lost;
trying to build a better tomorrow
With the problematic chains of yesterday."

              So is it Change or Chains?

Lost
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021

Till the world

Hungry, but lost in power

I've gone astray.

Zim
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021

As Zim life-
forces you to survive;

Swallow some pride
close your eyes;

Be close to alright
with a bright African smile;

And never forget;


                   The Lord does provide.

Hope's Phoenix
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
A shadow calls-
vexed by whisper
In the night;
as I hear echoes of pity.

Through blackest eyes;
seeing nothing in-
Vast openness;
and at its center,

                     A bird.

Brokenness resting
on closed wings
Prisoned to ground;
stretching hand to her

                          But;

She takes nothing-
of my helping aid
The sky;
has betrayed her;
Once she had loved

Each day passed;
I came to feed it love
By the crumbs;
each piece was strength

                          Until;

A day her-
wing could stretch
Flying highest to
tomorrow, and beyond
The black bird;
once again, became her

                       Fired Phoenix.


And so;
a light of hope
Lost in world's dark;
once again found her

                               Spark.

Untitled art piece
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
You could paint-
memories on a canvas
But everything in it
                    Bleeds.

All that you've;
been through in life
Splashed and sheds
                Like tears.

Strokes of luck;
I do wish I had
Brushing away pain;
            And all griefs.

As life's a portrait-
a profile of you
Draws you in ink;
    Of days you've lived.


A master of-
your every piece
Portrayed by actions;
Canvases of what you did.


             Bleeds like tears;
               And all griefs
         Of days you've lived;
     Canvases of what you did.


               But an Untitled art piece.

Ocean Moon
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Blue as an Ocean;

                          Under a light moon
                              Black nowadays;
                               as life is so cruel

                  The moon;

So timid-
whispers secrets;
Lives with all my
dreams and wishes


                        Unfortunate for me;
                          eyes heavy of tears
                                 All I do is stare;
                          looking up, in fears


                 An Ocean lost-
                        at Sea
             In the waves of life;
                       Waits on
             The tides to subside


                              My flow goes on;
                                         stays alive.

       today?  

Sit,

Pretty Orange
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Fires rest under skin;
Blessed a kiss of Sun

In the dark;
I am light. ..

Bright & gentle flower;
Hand-picked by God

                   In the dark;
                   I am life.

Sorrows, I've carried;
but only for a time

             In the dark;
             But still I survive

Pretty Orange,
my colour is-
Clean & well polished.

                               I flourish. ..
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Tiny tickles in my nose;
she's a flair of exposed
    Granting a hint of-
          an open Rose.

Sweet fires of red;
burning incense
    A scent that shows.

Darling does know;
how strong perfumed
            Is her worth.

So wonderful-
sticking to her clothes
Scent of beauty a Rose;
        that soon arose.

Sore Knee.
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
In his room-
making inventory;


Asking himself,

         Why does lonely
            want to rhyme;
                    With *****?

Searching through-
all his contacts;
asking about,
       "Why won't you call me"

           Seeming so needy;
              giving him a sore knee.

I'm holding your face

Wish it was still here.
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Round the city blocks;
with its fake people,
       And the bad crowds.

***** dealers;
and their corrupt cops

House party speakers-
cracking noises
                   So **** loud.

Amongst all the chaos-
still wishing my love was
                        Still around.
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
I'm a lonely leaf;
          falling away in
                the  
                      Winds.

A cement of ideas;
    paved in
                  pain
On the Avenue of
               Destiny's street.


Hanging onto life;
          threading needles
                  In my back

Puppet strings,
   tied to things-
                 That I lack.
                
            Only for tonight;
      I'll love myself

But by tomorrow;
                Wish I could be  
         anyone else.

                  Bring your love;
     trade you my pain

Bring your scars;
                I could give you
      an escape
                        
                            Bring your thoughts;
     and leave  
            your brain.

Close your eyes;         To see what's
                      really inside
Put an X;            On two of my I's
                     XII;

Lose your air-
to remember how it;
               feels to be alive.  
  
                      But you'll still
             survive;
                         Even with
death on  
                 your mind
                        
                      Stay strong;
                           stay alive.

Falling
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
As she boldly said;

'It only takes-
four words to say,'
              "I'm falling in love,"

'But it only takes-

                 "I'm falling apart."
There's two types of falling.

Sea; I am Ocean
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Now all of emotion-
seem to be off duty
Sick of onward motion;
and things not set in motion
I'm growing cold; and frozen
so void of my apparent motion
                       But stay on duty.

Put myself on promotion;
free of living in Death's duty
Putting my self will in a glove;
then going on grips in self-love
Its handwoven, and interwoven
                        Worthen of a ruby.

With abreast of pride on chest;
all of my heart has know cruelty
But I learnt how to see beauty,
and tying closely to it's devotion
                            With faith in me.



Some of which, stressful days
will move best in slow motion;
Best of times go in a moment,
so I've come to the conclusion,
                      I'm just an Ocean.

Love; Time; Give
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
Love is a
four letter word-
As so is time.

As the love-
you have for one;
Is time you spend.

The time in love
as what to give-
Also a four letter word.

Spend the time
you give to one-
To the fullest,
as to show true love.

Flower Girl
Odd Odyssey Poet Oct 2021
By an
attraction of scent-
Felt myself being called.
I fell into sweet embrace
  called into its descent.
    
Conspicuous;
truly is made up of her face-
Beauty so heavy onto a Rose.
All that's seen; open to the eye
All soon to be exposed.
              
So I then
picked one as bitter sweet-
And was quickly cut by thorns.

I learnt recently

how she knows       her worth
Truly rooted           to ground
  and down            to Earth;
A flower girl.

God Bird
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
A tune with no sound;
a bird sings in the morning.

So too-

Our hopes seem quiet;
as they are sung by our faith
  In hopes The Lord hears its calling.

On the wings-

Resting upon the High Almighty;
who hears of Silence's echo
  Feathers lost in the wind;
  relied on Him highly, as if to be soaring.

The God Bird is man praying to be heard.

All children gather round in a circle;
While in their teens in the middle-

As adults figuring out a purpose;
Life is a colour of passions-
we all could be a colour purple.

Under the shade of a plum tree;
As days are like purple leaves-
praying not to be lost in the winds.

Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
Our youth-
seemed to be all careless
So age finds and grows a child.

Peer pressured by our habits;

With youth comes a hole we fall into.

Lonesome artist.
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
Green tint to your hair dye;
with a purple shade of lips.
All now complete with purple
makeup on your eye.

Made up blemishes and all;
paints the stroke of realism.
Unlovable parts to be loved;
Too much of a free spirit,
to keep count of your soul.

Rest upon my artistic love;
though I don't own a mattress.
Been long to train out my love;
and exercising my emotions.
So I might be out of practice.

Drew out my heart;
drawing out your picture,
As I fell in love with an idea.
What a pencil put onto paper;
as I drew you out all alone.
But hopes of being a feature.

(Lonesome artist)

In love with his drawings;
but also an artist ever so lonely.

Lock and key; as to knock.
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
And so to love-
we're dared to lock eyes;
As with both keys to heart.
And so to enter;
one knows the sound of love's knock.
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
Choke on the lies;
but the truth also hard to digest.
As to hunger for words,
to be fed my worth of their love;
Born by a tone of voice-
A child indeed of bless.

May the excuses be;
as wild as I am to self (Maybe)
Tamed by softest words of love.
But its only in the above;
man seeks truth of Heavens not seen.

So I will be-
better known by my words.
Even if they go unheard;
all these words are my worth.

And as we live;

Those at the bottom;
despite lowest moments, light stays above.

You only seem to focus on the top;
for it be where you long. (To belong)
Top of the morning,
midst on top of your sorrow
But the way to get there;
knowing bottoms and their light,
For the dark is but a moment;
compared to goodness of light in your life.

Body ties, feeling myself tied to you;
likewise to connect to each other.
Dial on circumstance; you're ringing
in my head about how to press the issue.
Press on your right side; those familiar
buttons. I'll find myself lost in you

Celebrate the occasion; set flame to love,
Lit the fire's of desire, warmed the night.
Doing the best of things the world hasn't
seen. All the very things you and I like.

Pouring on a drink, taking shots of you;
its all leading me into the mood.
Leading the way of where we shall go;
You've often been high on your love,
right now this little vibe still on the low.

So let's celebrate what we have now;
until it becomes the world's favourite show.

Heaven on Earth
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
While I'm acting right, don't cause a scene;
Tell me to act clean: I'm too ***** minded;
You say it's dim, but I see the finest.

Right in between those eyes.

Hate me now when I'm acting different;
On my case when I seem suspicious,
Pull me closer when I'm acting distant.

Making sure I stay awhile.

You call me Mr: Not ready to have a Mrs;
Gift your love: Let's all call it Christmas.
Tried to give me a bed job: I quickly said,
'Please stay out of my business.'


Let me rest, before I'm addressed
By your favourite naked dress;
Turn a court case into a pillowcase:
Putting all our issues to their rest.

'That's how we should play it girl.'

Pace yourself: Ran marathons to love;
Played yourself, and broke your heart.
Hate me now, quickly complaining to God;
Say I seem off: He knows you're playing odd.

Still we both see such a perfect angel.

Now I act rude when in Tuesday's mood;
Step on toes when you remove your shoes,
Do you wrong; feelings go misunderstood.

Leaving you to cry on my shoulders.

You inhale, I sigh; And we both exhale.
Inhale, exhale, breathing out this pain.
You inhale, I sigh; And we both exhale.
Inhale, exhale, is how we play this game.

You feel just like Heaven on Earth;
a hellish anger to leave me burnt.
And all with that purity: I do hope
you can keep it under your skirt.

I heard the world is stealing roses.

And truly numbers don't lie
Odd Odyssey Poet Sep 2021
One and two;
Those days so unlikely for you,
Three and four;
Lost the keys to lock my pride's door,
So by five and six;
Felt like I was looking for a fix,
Because seven and eight;
I was only filled with hate.

Tried my best to;
smile with all my fake friends,
Probably why I was so depressed
by just nine and ten.
Eleven elevated tears,
that never met the ground;
Twelve years of screaming to myself,
but without a sound.

Making up for time;
making thirteen daily mistakes,
And fourteen identities;
To mask away this face.
With fifteen reasons for me,
To hate living in such a lonesome way.
Being sixteen gets you so excited;
For being an adult some day.

So I skipped through seventeen;
So by eighteen I could be going out,
In this crazy world for an escaping.
Not to mention,
Nineteen was just the oddest;
And running me down out of my patience.

Twenty was only a bonus round;
Straight after I lost more than I could gain,
By the time twenty-one came around.

But at this current age,
I gained Hope for a better sense of life;
Living through daily troubles,
trying my best to be focused on His light.
Guess at twenty-two;
I gained some wisdom and better insight.

And truly numbers don't lie.
