Robin Bennett Poems

I put on my sad little dress,
the one with the gaping
holes from the
moths tying to
...

That damn phone
sounds as shrill as your
ex-wife.
Just before she
...

Starlight gaze, blanketed in a platinum haze-
points of light, painted upon a canvas of inked black phase;
dancing candles rich, awash with blinding intensity,
surely the heavens are awake to heed my wish.
...

When life leaves you hanging-
In gallows night-fallen grasp
Then betrayal comes calling
Stone in hand, at my cloudy
...

Welcome to midnight,
stripped of color-
Land where today,
trades places with tomorrow;
...

I remember when you were my baby boy-
All Thanksgiving turkey sized and
burrito wrapped, nestled in that
special nook crook in my arms.
...

I've heard it said love is a fine wine-
Needing space to breathe; once opened.
Do not stifle it's beauty with a cork
silencing her rich bouquet.
...

A world seemingly exquisite-
when seen through your eyes
raw elegance mingles
with passion in a tender surprise
...

Bask in warmth of a scarlet sun-
Linger in downy green grasses, mingle youth with wind;
Giggle to the tunes of an ice cream truck,
Paint your lips in shades of purple grapes.
...

Right on cue, here comes the bland-
colored crazy wagon to take me away;
Hopefully this time, they packed a,
straight jacket in my size and color.
