I'm crystalline 
I'm brittle in your hands
I shattered when you break me down
No precious stone am I
My shards are love

I've got a lot of hoes
I've got a lot of bros
I've got a lot of dough

He doesn’t know how it happens
it is difficult to explain
how so many times throughout the day
his heart beats out your name.

Coffee

Waking up to aroma
Of a gourmet 
array 
as you awake.
Some like it black
some take creamy.
Many stop and buy
that morning juice .

Robin's Love Poems: Shadows of Our Grace

Your touch remains a ghost
upon my skin,
The sweetest war that we
could never win,
I bless the love before the 
tears begin.

Her Silence

flowers in her hair
music on the wind
feelings on my shoulders
liquor on my breath
the words I speak
you could hear a pin drop

Delightful Poetess

How lovely she is!
Honey delight poetess   
How come you forget her!?
Her sonnet sing in my ear
Hah! I love her here and there

Robin's Love Poems: Eternal Morning Light

The morning brings the
memory of your grace,
A gentle light that time 
cannot erase,
And all my world is captured 
in your face.

Of something too precious
Never found that sonnet
Numbed this memory
Ensued much sadness
Towards twilight of loss

If I Were...

If I were a sonnet poem
A lover would read my proem
she’d recite all my lines
and would stress my end rhymes
and love the syllables iamb.
