Robert Sheridan Poems

Frequentative on the slight notion of
intermittent light sleep - attesting to
the year circa 1386; probably from
Old English sluma meaning golden
...

Once again, stripped of my dignity
Once more, had to pass between
a double row of cudgeling, non-
forgiving females who beat me to
...

The art of all specialized uses of
verbal destruction in the ruining
of another person's life, as-in the
wrecktoric of one's hopes - all
...

Often a city stupid person ask
“How is it coming sloppy dirty man, sloppy dirty woman? ’
“Well, never in my life! ”
We answer back;
...

The sun has set upon our make believe friendship
You never really took a chance to know me and now I have parted
The indications are strong that I will never return
For there is a whisper in the air of your promises unkept
...

Born to me a vision from afar
You emerged from a longing
Awakened as from a deep dream
A vision of my world renewed
...

Slightest turn towards them
Your hand paints their hand
Passion of hearts, one of steal
Love feelings – no need to hide
...

At first, a slight faint or trace
Then a displaced Civil War image
Reflected in a gold-framed mirror
Her body, not her soul, now nonexistent.
...

The sea doors open wide
Opens wide for thee
I am mischievous, a rogue
Not obedient – I seek & destroy
...

The storm wings across the dunes
Thunder is its’ voice to be dreaded
The wind braces up – then finds itself accelerating
Opens the gaits – galloping ghosts of lightning in the offing
...
