Unto ones self winters never bore
Summers never die and wants are never achieved
Tis not the highest peak nor darkest valley that emplore
But the shallows and ridges near shore
Lost in shadows dwindling inside
Tumbling motions of dancing verbs
confide
Denied simple simplistic logical
understanding
Demanding guilt taking possession my
soul branding
Questions thoughts dreams lies and
defeat
Packed away in my colorless eyes all nice
and neat
And so I emplore ....when can I breath
again
Open that door and see my friend
Library time tick tocks like a flight of stairs
In silence the deafening screams and
sudden blank stairs
The way they look at me empty of song
Speaking to me teaching me I was wrong
J.Robbins
I will love you until time steals the shores
This gift I'll give as open arms surround
And kiss your lips a thousand times and more
Caress your welcomed heart with feathered sound
Avail ourselves to ships of no return
To chase the wind from lands we'll both explore
And leave the world behind with its concern
To follow sails of love as they emplore
This precious love is cupped between our hands
And used to find the farthest guiding light
So trust can take our hearts to love's command
And faith that follows guides us through the nights
The waves through time we'll cross with tethered hearts
And wrap our love around our soul's ramparts
The Grace To Grow
Through peril in its intact
We have every reason by which to over react
The Grace to grow;
Many a shoulder to cry inflate the ego
Through our hard stance with fate
We lock our doors & protect out faith
In long lines at the store lest I emplore
Shades of trim left for me to begin
In oscillating ivory towers a man from Mars
The Grace to grow
From a little seed next the full grain blown to harvest once again
We can plant a seed deep enough through troubled waters come among
Shades of gems crimsome with rubbies
The cedar as a way of illumination
Perhaps I'm in need of a break on some long awaited vacation?
The Grace to grow
He's the product of a ladies man
He knows how to take command
Grab her hand
Livening up those strolls throuigh the sand
And for you he will speak to the sea in a voice so deep
It could lull troy to sleep
Although nothing will become of it you"ll love it
Since he did it for you in public
And now your defenceless
To his sexual advances to his advantage
He's not a player but a slayer
Wants her body for unmusical chairs
So young ladies stay youthful be aware
More wolves than sheep and they bleachin all they hair
This beast that roams these unleveled streets
Has many names like hidden grief
Or he who eats but wont provide meat
The one who sleeps like born without feet
The passive addict with an aggressive come down
Your babies baggage that dont never come around
Mr no benefits and no working background
Or Mr she's headed east He's tryin to meet her westbound
He's that monster that would even ponder,
having her introduce her lil sister to the corner
So I emplore you be stronger, live longer,
and be a alterior motives conqueror
Pain...Torn,
Circumstances;
The walk on a path to shed a tear to numb the pain
A desolation sets in the brain let I shall refrain,
Words chosen in the fragments of my mind...
Sheltered by the fear of prison doors
Lest I emplore another chosen rhyme;
To shine a light on make believe,
Eyes with spots chosen doom in gloom
To weather the storm in the plausible norm;
Subside with vile degrading tears in the eyes,
A shelter to cry beneath the pavement fair
Beyond approach till one can compare;
I treasured a rose that was plucked some time ago,
French braid in hair yet none the worse for wear,
A vile of dust chosen influence with tears,
Shaped as the river Nile still we knew all the great while
The smile from the lonesome child
In the call of the wild;
Breath of fresh air to compare a shoulder to cry,
My final sigh as time slowly passes me by
In valiant days of yore
The most brilliant of vast excursion to emplore;
Through an enduring moment filled with ellusive ambiance,
A glimmer of hope as a beacon of light to a weary world in need;
With time well spent in thought provoking sense,
Yet still marked on a blotted page yet fully intact;
Although the twilight sun had tainted my vision,
We have drawn a paradox forthwith even in the sand;
It is my hope that someday you will understand
When the children cry deep in the night,
A reflection of an image caught in time,
Among ellusive ventures caught up in rhetoric ambiance
A sought after display of elaborate words in flight;
To forget the night deep within its endless plight,
A single word spoken in its fullest extent;
The heat is on yet I will persist,
Through words frozen in time;
We then mix words through our own agendas
The heat is on so adjust your fenders
Flash O mine heart
A Shine
A brightness Deftly left
Behind
Shielded from mine eyes
Of Ray
Leaving the Eternal black
Unscathed.
------------------------------
O Prayer Of rainbow red
Regret the feelings left unsaid
turmoil left within this mind
Collapsed the lungs
and turned to cries.
-----------------------------------------------------
In turn and out
Eternal do the angels shout
leaving only woe and flash
O the blindness I without
Realizing without doubt
I shall turn to ash
Forgotten about.
