Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Behind the mind's hedge
heart shows glow of inner growth,
infinite knowledge
...

Gather life's rosebuds, man and maid,
there seed, share, time's hand can't be stayed,
and gentle innocence soon's passed.
greed gain ambitions oft waylayed.
...

O woe for soul self-tortured who
lacks garnered gold or space to grow,
turns to Fox News for overview,
who wood from trees may never know.
...

DIALOGUE
'Prior, I'm sure you'll agree,
though external beauty,
be but dermal, no higher,
...

Wing with me through sunrise sweet,
to shed cocoons and spread the sky
with wonder which the dark’s defeat
soon celebrates, to answer why,
...

Modicum of sense bears witness we
Appear apart as man is to the moon.
Unworthy I of your eyes' symphony,
Dreams draw my moth to butterfly's cocoon.
...

Just deserted after make-up refuselled,
I, who would have snoozled, hereafter
lose laughter, appear a foozle cahoozled,
as daft as a woozle or even dafter.
...

My little space no trace may leave behind,
My little base, - whose clock must soon unwind.
Why little haste? When discontented mind
reproves the race of shadow-shapes unsigned,
...

Much latent warmth may finally appear,
Affording understanding, shedding care.
Remove despair, share sunshine everywhere,
Ice melts although sharp winter seems so near.
...

Beyond the mind's horizon patterns beckon,
role-reversing whirlpool self-absorption,
encouraging vast vistas poets reckon
essential. Seamless packets speed, proportion
...
