Robin Bennett Poems

I'm quite well versed
in being alone
Being lonely
is where I fail
...

Save me from
drowning please-
Just let me live
until tomorrow
...

We escaped to the beach that year-
we always worked well there,
Just the two of us,
and all of our heavy-
...

The air in this house-
is full of bitterness
I go unnoticed-
or dodge the
...

Maybe it was because I was-
born on Christmas Day
that made me
this way
...

There is a place I'm headed and it's not very far,
it's name is la-la land, it rests under the northern star.
Home for the broken hearted, the lonely and the sad,
covered in lush flowers, dripped in honey; and lush lily pads.
...

Standing alone on her
beige sandy shores-
the Gulf of Mexico
pounds and stings my bare feet
...

Bets of the heart, another roll of the dice-
Ready to go all in, no matter the price;
Bigger the wager, bigger the cost,
What happens when you find everything is lost?
...

Parting lips that have never met,
One lapse in judgement; future now set.
Expel the truth, breathe in the lies,
Passion was yours, ending in your cries.
...

Remember starting out, penniless-
I was so picky back then.
Searching only for coins,
facing heads up.
...
