Robin Bennett Poems

Once all I had
were shades of May-
dreaming my way through
a blustery February winter's day
...

Tis vision draws it closer upon sight-
Now for each man to set his tired eyes so weak,
Upon treacherous evil, well contained fright,
Bellowing waves the call of names, Seek!
...

When the dust begins to settle in say-
One hundred years from this very day.
Will you be at my side wrapped in eternity;
Or shall we stay soaked in uncertainty?
...

Pages of a book read like love-
Twirl thru clover fields
upon heart shaped leaves
God created-
...

A citrus sun rises
against the flaxen sands
Billowing waves of aqua
paint the pristine lands
...

Carry me to a lush Irish countryside-
To dance a pas de deux, among flowers grown wild;
Soft, gentle rhythms, leaving pristine the painting below,
Carry me to wide open fields, to lie with mother nature.
...

You are the original-
snake in the grass type
I can hear your
verbal poison even now
...

Must be this life catching up with me
Tired of dodging bullets
Like cheap insults on the streets
Looking like death
...

Life turns black and glossy,
and yet again the nightmares
paralyze my interrupted mind.
One tiny teaspoon of sanity
...

So the queen bee left the hive-
only to become a common worker bee;
at a small tawdry hive elsewhere,
buzzing gossip and providing a sting
...
