Robert Sheridan Poems

Grip with a dimmer vision
As-it watches me faint upon the scorn
With its icy hands - a taut grip
Brushes over me, freezes me to the bone;
...

Art of intimacy/kiss to kiss
Love sculpted/full of intense
Essential splendor/numberless dreams
Breast, deep breath/ love’s expression
...

Light the incredible night
Long amazing trip it will be
Self-pleasure’s an irony –
Two hearts beating as one
...

Sorrow's share - if to dropp a pity dwells
Quickly cloak with excuses the pitiful eye
But must through the midnight screams
Be plagued by the un-marriage hearse;
...

No new order of things had been instituted
Not likely that there would be
Father’s things were gone from his life
After being placed there by the human factory.
...

Low creeping thoughts
Inflames my lust; others' goods my envy
Misery is my pity; no one else's intoxicating wealth
Distilled so finely that it can filter through anything
...

One gains - no misses
One debuts - reserve an interest
Best in solitude - non-interruptus
One's morality - one's philosophy
...

A British frigate of 24 guns
Three-masted, shipped rigged
Crews-of-fiction, pressed-ganged
Captain Bligh commanded.
...

Perpetual, man your time is spent
Perpetual, man how you are dead and gone
And you did what you could, therefore repent.
Perpetual Man
...

The dreams that have been
Were easier to believe
In the safety of the night
When they scattered themselves
...
