Best Knew Poems

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you
And everything you do;
Yes it’s really true, in the realm of love,
Nothing else ever comes even close
When the moment is just right
And allure of your eyes enkindles paradise
Where face of the sky is enchanting blue
And the...

* Note My dad passed away today, a little over seven months since my mom passed. After a thirty year estrangement my dad and I reconciled when mom died. I figured I'd write this today, while everything is raw, otherwise I'll never write it. In...

Withered meadows of yesteryears ache, recalling memories forlorn,
As discords of then mourn, assailing vibes of now, emotions torn;
Yet I believe, love would have still vouched~ together we belong,
If only you knew, how to strum, sensuous rhythms of our love-song.

Gracing my embrace, lovingly you caress, my...

Golden sun enlightens contours of violet arc
Painting mauve motifs on canvas of cosmic art
When constellation of dewdrops sparkle on grass
And thoughts of your allure enchant my heart,

As in pristine meadows of sensuous past I walk 
Holding hands of dawn to reminisce love that was
When you...

If you Really Knew Me
By Kevin Robey
Febraury 16, 2013

If you really knew me, you’d see through these lies
The smiles and laughs, can’t conceal my eyes
You won’t ask questions, you won’t suspect
You won’t see it coming, my final misstep

If you read this now, you know it’s...

I saw the sadness
in your tear-filled eyes 
and vowed to put a smile
on your dejected face...
to give you wings,
regain the joy of life,
to hear you sing once more.
I set you free to roam 
unfettered, unrestrained – 
but in euphoric flight
you failed to glimpse 
the pointed...

Is there enough adjectives I can use,
  to sew these sensitive sensations to you,
when my dandelion heart is 
  dense with combustible phrases,
and my sunken soul is weeping 
  into the weariness of wildfires?
They say beauty can never
  be found in...

If only, if only, if only you knew
The measure of affection felt for you.
Your potential great, so much more to do,
Then you concluded your time was through.

If only you knew how much time you spent
In hearts and minds; Oh how much you meant!
Your value is...

…you knew

No one should know the things I know,
nor bear the scars of such knowledge,
nor should they be forced by circumstance
to discard all of memory’s treasures.

The Llama will spit when the burden’s too great
but the child, he will bury it deep
carry it with him wherever...

Promises are made to be kept, though they are wrapped in a cocoon of razor wire. 
The words that fall out of your mouth turn into insects, and are instantly 
consumed by the reptiles. Everything consumes everything, all God's creatures go 
below. It is quite...

All at once…

I realized that it was peace
Who left me breathless,
Hope who left me without a question,
Faith who knew my deepest need,
And love who silenced my every fear

All at once…

I knew, down deep inside me,
That there is something more important
Than my own tears – my...

From your invalid's bed
You pined for the beach
Too far out of reach
For weakened feet to tread

He gathered devotion for the quest
And packed obligation
Atop expectation
For your smile's beauty to express

He strained beneath the boulder's stack
As frost bitten wind sliced his skin
And fingertips split where blood ran...

I drifted past the sunset
where horizons make their place
Imaginary lineage 
that artists love to trace

I saw the world illumined
in a shade of tangerine
Beyond the treelined silhouette
and shadows in between

I scaled a distant mountain
that was massive in its size
Where I could taste the altitude
amidst blueberry skies

When...

If I could live again, what lessons would I take?
Forevers missing something, repeating a mistake 

Yell into the void, hoping sage advice returns
Only an echo chamber, ensuring no one learns
Undo all my wasted time, rid me of regret

Over all the lives I've lived, I haven't...

I heard the birds sing, felt when the breeze blew
for you as sunburst sky flushed your face in hue.
How adorable you were to me you had no clue,
if only you knew.

After the morose night in your garden I found me,
how brightly I’d sparkled like the...
