Jonathan ROBIN Poems

We p[l]ay our way just once while Fate prepares
Effect and Cause to synchronize one chance
Combining opportunity, advance,
Offers options, often unawares.
...

Pretence retains no sense if at a click
affections disappear, mere scaffold built
around presumptions biased, slick, or sick,
faith wraith evaporating in a jilt.
...

Duality for some seems too restrictive,
two found sees ever three around the bend,
while th[r]ee or four for vision full predictive
slips out of double-bind, Caudine Fork end.
...

Rêves tangibles d’un bonheur toujours exquis,
tu jures est accessible à qui y croit, ciel
et terre unis, crédible, entente bien en selle.
Pourtant les cheveux blancs à la jeunesse unis,
...

When the current links computer screen to internet online,
when the 'Royal Crown' is fairly set upon fair features fine,
Then her sweetness sempiternal needs no coffee to invent
pure parody from paradise, no syllables misspent.
...

Since I met you my eye is in my mind,
And all which makes me be, eat, sleep, or drink
Now functions, now suspended, partly blind,
Dares seeks to see, yet can't on others think,
...

Sad Autumn, turncoat, sheds its coat of leaves,
Anticipates wild Winter's shivering cold,
No trace of Summer stays, though, threadbare, cleaves
Despondently a handful, rotten, old.
...

Kind kin[e] we see through ultra-violet light
seem now to be cowed phantoms of de-light:
but let well be, our ghosts are seen unsought,
yet set them free, pot roast has been unwrought.
...

Warm smiles today
forever may
make May of seasons chill,
till will grows still
...

If all the world were sparkling sun,
and all well finished once begun,
then I would wish upon a dream
with you as Queen, play perfect team.
...
