Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Not once since Man's Creation have been seen
so many talents fused in one fair Queen;
and had Troy's 'thousand ships’ been launched today,
homage throughout eternity they’d pay.
...

RECEPTION II
Bright crystal chandelier winks, rainbow eyes
reflect above white damask, black bow ties.
...

'They also serve, who only stand and wait'
survivor said, regretting others' fate.

'They also serve who wait without the gate'
...

The Present is a precious rug
under which, with care, we sweep,
...

The Present: a nano-thin wafer wall
on which we wanderers waiver, stall
...

But dimly at daybreak
I saw him descend
from the couch that we shared through the night.
Why must I, for his sake,
...

Hope
Shock
Block
...

Bright bucket bulge with sand and shells today,
brimmed by infant avidly at play,
intent on building, digging time away
on beach, sand castles busily inlay
...

“Progress” - probing life’s eternal laws –
itself betrays, strays from initial quest,
...

Love is decried, set, swept aside, superfluous subjectivity
unjustified by all allied to mindless blind psychiatry.

Reflection cast, one stands aghast, for Freudians felicity
...
