Robert Lansing Poems

Come trail my love to its tracks
While they still keep off rust,
While they still ignore the cracks,
And while they still dread the dust.
...

A quiet murmur among the leaves
In the forest as I strolled by
Spied a flash of something between the tree trunks
I chased after it, thinking it was for me
...

He waited.
He waited...
But waited too long.
...

¿No tú sabes? Como de tu mano.
Como el aire viene desde el mismo acto de comer.
Mi lengua roza suavemente en tu palma;
Dientes como labios, labios como dientes.
...

She shoots into your brain like a high
Pretty woman wanna make you mine
With a touch this boy seems to fly
Pretty woman wanna make you mine
...

I want to love
Like the sun sailing smoothly across a lake.
I want to love
Like fire fueling another fire.
...

My blood pulses for you
From my heart, to my arteries, to my veins, and back;
And my body vibrates from every pump
Like a beaten drum skin,
...

Desire

What I'd give to have my lips locked with yours
Our minds and bodies intertwined
...

Take it through the shade of your shadow-
Let blindness be your guide;
Walk from today to tomorrow
Relying on nothing on your side...
...
