Popping off

This was last Christmas - 39 days ago - doesn’t that seem like ancient history? 

We were in Lisa’s (parent’s) 50th floor flat, in Manhattan. It was mid-morning, we’d done the present thing, and it...

Harken My Angel

Harken my angel, pray for me
Your love will pull me through
As I lay here under burning debris
After being torn from my crew

I know that when I left this morn’
You were still snug in our bed
But...

Beyond The Veil


   Nothing refreshes me more 
than standing beneath the misty veil of a waterfall. 
Like avatar of baby's breath 
and droplet of anti-death. 
Phoenix burst of peppermint- spurt, 
soft chew squirter of mint...

I Can'T Control the Wind

I can't control the wind

I woke up this morning, 
not much to do, I said.
So children were woken,
and into the kitchen I went. 
But something happened, as water was poured for tea.
this kitchen i said,...

Directions

It feels as though time itself, 
Is slipping from my grasp,
Like I’m walking atop eggshells,
Across butterfly wings,
And along the shattered and broken glass

There never seems to be enough time
It’s like a marathon for me
All I...

It Was Easy

It was easy to know…
An ever ready hug
A sticky candied kiss
A sweet clinginess
Eyes full of admiration
Songs full of love
A call for help meant only for one
Arms outstretched always wanting
It was easy to know

It was easy...

Escaping Reality

High above the clouds, where you can hardly see,
Escaping the world below is where you want to be.
A fresh place, a new beginning to have a chance to go.
Anywhere, any place that makes you grow.

Eye Contact

Eye Contact


Some said he had those scary eyes,
unnerving, somehow seeming to look
clear through, capable of seeing the
truth – of you.  They didn’t stare at
you, just sort of found you and held
you in an eerie...

Refocusing Life's Lens

A constant buzz of busyness 
Continually swarming us
Easy to get dragged down
Caught up in the fuss

While in the moment
All you can say is c’mon
Poked like a voodoo doll
The pain keeps piling on

Balancing your emotions
What a...

Can You See

Can you See
By Kevin Robey
November 24, 2013

Can you see my heart it's reviewing
Mirrored windows every day they sing
Suspicious car wreck I’m leaving behind
If this is my death, at least I’m not blind

Can you see my...

Libra

When a prophecy's a tale,
It will be written then re-told,
Thru the zodiac in braille 
Only read by each our soul...
Left and written in the stars,
Brightly there for all to see,
It's interpreted by our,
Deep desire to...

Learning To Become Selfish

You know I won’t
Let you or anyone
Take me for granted
Ever again
I won’t give myself
In blind naiveté
To anyone
Until proven worthy
I’ve been refocusing
Gathering my strength
Setting new boundaries
To ground myself and
Protect my center
Determine what 
I’m willing to give...
