Brian Routh Poems
It is time to move amongst the bushes
to isolate the rooms
close up the gaps
out from the lapse.
...
In every dream there you are.
From every corner your eyes seek mine.
Our hearts beating as one.
The waves of passion running through us.
...
Jack the hack, a writer
worked as a waiter
he used to be a fighter
he used to be a hater
...
You put your left brain in,
Your right brain out,
In out-in out,
You shake 'em all about,
...
As we walk hand in hand through the fields of yellow corn
Our voices singing with the innocence of childhood.
We talk of castles and grand things.
The wind carries our words to the clouds.
...
don't go back to sleep
don't go back to bed
don't sleep on your feet
don't close up your head
...
There was a girl
in New York City
Whose flashing form
was light and pretty
...
Dirty Dolly lost his lolly
dropped it while he rode the trolly.
the lolly melted on the floor
the lolly stick fell through the door.
...
I am in ecstasy
I am in joy
The angels have spoken
they speak in words that are not of this world
...
we are on fire!
we burn and yet there is no heat
nothing is burned
the flames engulf us and yet we do not burn
...
I call you my Princess my love
Yet the day shall come when you will my Queen.
I am but a humble Knight who returns from the hermitage
To champion your cause.
...
Rain pours down from the darkened clouds
We huddle together under the shelter in the field.
Thunder rumbles in the distance
Lightning cracks and zig-zags across the sky.
...
This is us my love
This is you and I
We are ringing as bells together
The sound continues for longer and longer periods.
...
she is the princess of the skies
she is where my heart doth fly
my love is floating in the clouds
making my heart sing out aloud
...
when love comes knocking at my door
I open the door and let it in
I welcome it
I offer it refuge
...
In the golden sunlight
I lifted up my head
The golden eagle landed
To tell me I'm not dead
...

The Best Poem Of Brian Routh
It Is Time
It is time to move amongst the bushes
to isolate the rooms
close up the gaps
out from the lapse.
forget the clouds that gloomily hang
around the centres
stopping the breath from freely passing.
to be alone as we all must be
in birth and death
no holding of hands
or clinging to mother.
it is time for me to be
to check myself alone
within the spaces of walking
through the avenues of trees
that bend their branches
their children leaves richly green
drinking mother's milk
detaching themselves and falling to the ground.
agonising moments of heart's despair
in air
on ground
to breathe a sound
alone in darkness
hollow sound
echoing back to sender.
remember the passion
of the garden dreams
wearing ceremonious garments
the making of vows
God, esteem and glory
out from it
away
free
has to be
all will wither
no more sound.
