Robert Green Poems

Slip into cool sheets
under the cover
Two people meet
You and your lover
...

A Test. 

You start digging in
Preparing for an attack you know is imminent
...

How tall is this tower
Filled to the brim
More and more each hour
Every new soul, Each grim. 
...

The rope is loose
Swinging from the gallow
Rounded in a noose
Hard lump I swallow
...

Bare feet! On the beach
Sand between your toes
Tide out. Almost out of reach
Air full of laughter of happy children’s souls.
...

Once I floated high, free
Full of self
Drifting contently
Carefree life
...

My strength is my weakness,
My weakness, my strength.
...

Dark clouds roll by
Turning Summer into Winter
Rain lashes down
The sky as black as sinter.
...

In the quiet, still morning
Of calm waters and painted skies
A tall story waits to be told.
...

Through the intricacies of life
There is woven some strife
Like the fallen
Whom came as they deemed their calling
...
