DUW Robinson Poems

I want to lie in a bed of roses
And be in your arms when the sun goes in
Kisses and butterflies to keep my head spinning
And in my dreams watch you shake your waist of beads
...

Voices in my head, voices in the night
Voices that tell me it is time
Time to be reborn, time to fight
Time to kill the candle but still show the light.
...

She said to me, 'I search for the way'
It was a little tearful voice
Couldn't see her, but heard her say
'Lost, Mister', above all the noise.
...

As I lay I write, as I write I sleep
My pen on paper, my eyes take a peep
From their closed shells into the darkness deep
Blowing, blowing, cool breeze blows me to sleep.
...

Its 7: 00am
I'm awake but still feel sleepy
My ears yet glued to my head
But its all tweet tweet around me.
...

Awoken from this tortuious slumber by de owl's hoot/mornin has come i suppose so my lids flutter open like an imploding osprey/a garrison of small bodied beetles have gathered under my foot/i look up, its still dark, so why did i awake.
...

If I lie may I be struck with an incurable sickness/It was my aunty I saw at the witchdoctor's/He was a black man conjuring spirits and phantoms out of darkness/I had to get a closer look without formenting any ruckus.
Staff stuck in the ground, bones and stones lying on a ratskin mat/
...

Only see in black and white
Supercedes a game, now a fight
Castle left, king to the right
Around, screams of 'run, run'.
...

Cross askew
In nomine Patri, et filii, et spiritus sanctu
Wall stains, O deathly blood
Dreams at midnight, of me and you.
...
