Akiva Roberts Poems

steaming mug of
coffee waiting to
be drank
steaming quietly
...

I love the way
you love
to love.
So early in the morning.
...

Building blocks of life
fill my head
with dreams:
white picket fences;
...

Swimming through darkness
searching in vain for the light
unshed tears fill my eye
wandering paths unseen
...

All this space waiting to be filled, with words,
With lies, with hope, with dreams, with lies,
With hate, with love, lost amid the white
Waiting for my castle – your castle
...

Finding your body in this darkened room,
Covers bunched
Around you, your own private cocoon.
Fingers spayed, seeking
...

Waking from this darkness
a dream of you
a dream of your smile
a dream of your beautiful head nodding
...

Trying not to lose my mind in this crazy paranoia
Fear striking blackness
Like ink through my heart
Dripping with the sarcasm of trust and betrayal.
...
