Robbie Squires Poems

Gunner on top the pill box
Patiently awaiting your arrival
He seeks to take you out in one fell swoop
Taking your life for his own will
...

The lights they shine bright
A piercing bright white
Everything else is so lit up by its essence
What would we do without its presence
...

The singer sings a song
About the time he was a boy
Those times have been over for a while
The singer has grown too old
...

Fish in the cage, swimming
Killer in his cell, smiling, grinning
A beast caged in the heart of the city
That same man is now feeling pity
...

Hello my baby by the shore
Is your heart an open door?
Can I take a long walk inside
Or is it hidden in deep disguise
...

The foglight flickers on and off
Giving the scene a ghostly illumination
The murderer scampers across the state line
In search of a cave, he will find it this time
...

I killed myself today
To see if I would die
Just an act of curiosity
Nothing personal, please don’t cry
...

I think therefore I am
The past forms a grain of sand
Future life beholds no light
Until we fall beneath all sight
...

The Highwayman, a dreamer of broken roads and lost time
A yesterday drifter that follows the wind
Wherever it may chime
Upon horseback, our rebel divides the night
...

Losing my grip
In the tiny slip
Of time
Between time and space
...
