J. Robert Trebor Poems

after four months on the trail
the last of his cows finally to market
knocking dust off his shirt and chaps
heading to town
...

her hair, dark red as a new rose
eyes, the color of turquenite
her figure sculpted to match Venus of Arles
movements as a sea breeze, welcoming, fluid
...

hidden deep in the Celestial Garden
originating from
the Crystal Moon,
centered to gather lost loves
...

the tree
torn,
ragged
from disease
...

An old man, looking out his door,
gaze fixed on a distant shore,
reminiscing to a time, not of happiness,
or, the prospect of a bright future in store,
...

I am a young seaman, sole witness,
all mates bloating, my ship
no longer floating, alone in this boat
I begin rowing.
...

The Earth, the outermost region of the Crystal Universe; so far away it is the only area with its own Sun surrounded by planets of various sizes and locations from its warm rays, the only region where man exists limited by his ability to escape into other lands.

Seldom, Fairies and those escaping the Land of Spectre have used their magic to enter the Earth's Realm; adding to the superstition of humans
...

Within the Crystal Universe
lies the Crystal Library
where all data on the lives
of man are stored.
...

a line in the sand you do not cross
an enemy with strife for a heart,
or,
one who comes with nothing expecting everything
...

had I been indecisive
about going to war,
I could never be a hero
...

he lies in deep grass
always alert,
he waits
...

The Best Poem Of J. Robert Trebor

Whiskey

after four months on the trail
the last of his cows finally to market
knocking dust off his shirt and chaps
heading to town
his only thought whiskey

strolling down the street
the saloon in sight
pausing
he sees two men settling a fight
transfixed
suddenly pushed back
his brain cannot register
blood appears
then spreads through his shirt

two men in the street
drew pistols on each
shots echo the day
down is the cowboy
thinking of whiskey
as he instinctively wets his lips
then dies

two men in the street
drunk
palm their weapons
put aside their anger
grateful no one was hurt
into the saloon
whiskey their treat

raising their glasses
they drink
while a dead
cowboy lies in the street
denied

J. Robert Trebor Quotes

What greater honor, when a person moves forward, they leave behind in each of us the best of what they were.

Inner Beauty; It is not outward appearance whereby love does survive; it is inner beauty takes love for the long ride.

Poetry The Tool That Teaches; Poetry is not a written or spoken form to be feared, rather, should be the educational tool that teaches reading, writing, and the arts as no other single genre is capable.

Excuses are used to blame and hate for the advancement of bigotry, prejudice, ignorance, and discrimination regardless of intent...any excuse is nothing more than a reason to fail.

We mourn loved ones for a time; memories will fade with each generation until no memory remains. A journey has come to an end; a piece of history is lost again.

Why do we fear a collision of earth by an asteroid whose attitude is to kill all the life when we, have the same attitude?

when the wind blows gently through beautiful long hair lifting just enough to allow light to penetrate as it outlines each strand in scintillating detail; and, when it causes the skirt to move up ever so slightly, beauty is again defined
