Brett Roberts Poems

Him and Her
Racing hearts, running across flowered fields.
Bounded to cross, forgetting their shields.
Lying on their backs, the clouds have them in a trance.
...

When the tables are turned on you.
You must fight through.
Turn on Blink 182, and sing Apple Shampoo.
That’s what I do.
...

Starved students struggle to pay the bills.
As they strive to obtain the skills they need.
Tuition, and rent put them on the poverty level
Government like the devil offers no assistance.
...

Beautiful eyes staring into my soul.
She loves me as a whole, not wanting me to change a damn thing.
Our love we can not control, my heart she stole.
...

Thrashed violently along the floor of our system.
It’s seeking to beat me in this war - until I fall bleeding.
Let’s get this over, I don’t care anymore
My mind isn’t where it should be,
...

Lost in lustrous green fields.
Imagining what is about to be.
My heart yields along with the wind.
This car has power, one hundred and twenty miles an hour.
...

My foundation will not crack and crumble.
Not saying that I may stumble, but I’ll recover.
I don’t need a lover, to discover who I really am.
...

Calculated thoughts.
Breath taking events, played back in second segments.
Buried deep in the core, victory in an ageless war.
Something you can’t ignore, being guided through the right door.
...

Ripping through the trees, anxiety burns across his overwhelmed cheeks.
My knees freeze, my throat tightens, her body is such a tease.
The best thing always comes in three’s
...

Caught in the corner of his eye, something he failed too see.
A reminder with just the right amount of pain.
Forgiving all the reasons why, and dodging emotional debris.
His loving heart still remains, to love once again.
...
