Long Pass off Poems

Fascism lives in tension with holy optimism,
as hatred fades in presence of mutual love,
as WinLose evolutionary models
give way to WinWin sacred Energy
stories and songs and dances,
as patriarchal colonization
gives way to matriarchal creolization.

Fascism,
synonymous with Totalitarianism,

Searching for mistakes in rich history, I came across the joy I used to feel and the looks that we both used to steal.
What the hell has happened to you anyway, where is the kindness...

In this brazen society, lunacy thrives.
In an era led by narcissism, no one lives.
Covetousness and desultoriness sit on the throne.
While sympathy and devotion are left alone.

We become absorbed in the anarchy of...

I survived scarred but 
unscathed growing up Irish 
catholic. 
Mind numbing Masses  sung in 
Latin 
Ostentatious Corpus Christy 
processions through local 
streets
Ornately dressed priests
Eyes to the skies, garbage 
underfoot
Fair game for taunting 
classmates armed with cutting 
quips 
abstinence during Lent

This Smile
By Kevin Robey
June, 23, 2013

I’m all alone, can’t touch me here
I see you below me, looking down
Your search so close but nowhere near
Can’t you see that I’ll never be found?

Too far away, I can’t...

You raised me as if I were your own, 
showed me love that I had never known. 
You helped mold me to who I am today, 
and despite the fact you feel betrayed, 
Just know...

GROWN-UP OF SNOW

The wintertime came vigorous, fall in torn
rivers, trees, hills by snow spacing white
boots let imprints stepped across trails
roofs in split white water crystal Villages
masses and sight snow shown as term
Thanksgiving thou Christmas ritual...

maybe there’s an inner shame
that s/he doesn’t want to talk about,
maybe a thousand shrinks couldn’t
skin the top of that surface,
but it glows from out the iris when
confronted with another who
sizes him/her up in this day...

To move on as thy born nature has been, 
Pass on, O Passing Cloud, with all thy blight,
Let every dark despair deliver hope,  
Let every cheerless gloom smile as delight.

Come if ye may, unto...

You put a jar over the flame, 
Snuff me out before I have the chance
To burn.  How could you-- 
Leave me alone in here? 
My strength, like the wax, 
Can dripdripdrip for so long...

If you've noticed there's no problems,
the government has too.
There's a billion cars poluting
and a mask to put on new.

There's a tax upon your property
for nothing they might do.
And a pox upon your neighbourhood
the cops will...

I’ve tried to hide
But you find me
You find my psyche
Dressed in a turtleneck
With a refined scarf
And you disrobe each layer
Pulling at that dangling string
The hint that may unravel me
Playing hide n seek
Like a toddler
If I...

Life's journey is always uncertain
We never know whether it'll be happiness or pain
It's hope that'll always keep us alive
And for a better future we all shall  strive.

And sure there'll be a brighter tomorrow 
And...

My quota short, those letters all I got -
You know I’ve never asked my parents why…
A famous Jack, the Ripper – surely not!
I really wouldn’t/couldn’t harm a fly.

The bright and breezy sailor comes to mind...

Hey kid, whatcha doing here
Has it already been a year
Father time is all grown up
2017 I wish you luck

Years gone by to tell the truth
Have been more than a bit rough on you
It's time to...

Gray storm clouds circle around
As I can hear a distant rumble
A breeze picks up, the leaves tumble
Thunder speaks with a low drum sound

Rain reaches the hill here and there
Refreshing my troubled heart
So many things, no-where...
