Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Whenas in tears his Julia flows
the season's reasons we suppose
well from neglect she feels he shows,
Next, when she casts her eyes to me
...

Pride comes before the fall, all far and wide
should be aware Fate sets their dreams aside
when overconfidence shows weakness, schemes
to turn Time's tables, undo from inside.
...

Dogs bark, birds tweet, cats shatter calm,
from muddy courtyard rise proud roosters' call
as Old MacDonald milks cows in their stall.
when moon sneaks off, when sun shakes dewy farm.
...

Hand trembling can't grip hand, delirium fright
trips George who meets dark dragons every night.

The sins of fathers seize son as wan moon
...

You swept into my soul on wings of chance
As though life wanted somehow to repay
Excruciating wait, the years' delay,
Lovelorn in empty limbo sans romance.
...

Te connaître? Qui sait? Toujours, ce portrait.
Etudes, cultivée, Esprit eveillé
Rêvant compléter Reuissite, foyer
Espoir d'égalité, Etincelle vive, vraie,
...

At length, from strength, life's leaf raft craft decays,
old year clocks out as new one dons fresh frock
beneath midwinter quilt that timely frays
as time steals time from time ticktock, ticktock.
...

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes,
Lush rush, ambition flush: soon crash is
finality limb, wing, plant, fin
fall subject to before waste bin
...

Weary British youth, of unemployment
wary was by, Cameron led astray:
in woeful truth deprived of life's enjoyment,
to shark employers made an open prey.
...
