Robin Bennett Poems

Carry me to a lush Irish countryside-
To dance a pas de deux, among flowers grown wild;
Soft, gentle rhythms, leaving pristine the painting below,
Carry me to wide open fields, to lie with mother nature.
...

Cradle me in your arms-
rock me gently to sleep
for I depend on you for all
you are my warmth-
...

Pages of a book read like love-
Twirl thru clover fields
upon heart shaped leaves
God created-
...

Just another day at a verbal war
cannons fire insults
no cover-
Oblivious in my
...

Turning me into a blushing married bride,
Never escaping the distance, to lay at your side.
High on smoke from my own pipe dream,
Whispering in silence, while dying to scream.
...

Once all I had
were shades of May-
dreaming my way through
a blustery February winter's day
...

Feeling the need
for unbridled freedom
I spent my lonely day
at the park-
...

You found me alone-
on the sands of beige
in peridot waters
a white pearl-
...

So the queen bee left the hive-
only to become a common worker bee;
at a small tawdry hive elsewhere,
buzzing gossip and providing a sting
...

Life turns black and glossy,
and yet again the nightmares
paralyze my interrupted mind.
One tiny teaspoon of sanity
...
