Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Here should the sage besotted, or the sot,
E’er read these lines and dare grey hairs to scold,
Love’s song swift snubbing just because I’m old,
Even a cinder heap can keep heart hot!
...

Spring shows rebirth but winter's cold provides
pause for gestation, seasons' cycle spins,
although cold is disease where cough abides
seed's need for germination knows no sins.
...

Downgrade A.P. proposes
accentuates tears, fears,
dumb downgrade fate opposes
engenders change of gears,
...

Mitosis wakes fresh
chance to open close[d] divides,
stem cell remakes flesh.
...

As nature hates a vacuum NOTHING can
be but a figment fragment second-guessed.
Reality and dreams combine, their quest
is thus to banish NOTHING then to span
...

VAIN ALL NATURE, IN TIME'S ADVANCING STREAM
ALL mankind’s hope drowns as eternally
NATURE's templates bate mortality,
IN dust Death welcomes musty mirage dream.
...

Man, victim of his own success, must fast grasp opportunity
to offer all equality of chances and advances stress
as the ability to press for rights for disability
the strong ignore, or fail to bless.
...

TO A... MUSE
May neither time nor tide upon your Muse
Abide for long but long for music more,
Unreeling till eternity true score
