(c) ep robles 2013
never awaken
me-sleepy self
for i have taken
a dreamy trip
a laundry list
i took with me
to shop a day
at life’s
other store —
it’s over-there

THE LAUNDRY LIST
SO SILLY ME
(c) ep robles 2012
WHAT loneliness
my mind asked
my heart replied
yes it did —
a giggle-snort
yes we are
like pea in pod
relationships sail
on damanged good
and golden compass
we have a-me
and me is good

DREAMING LIFE
(c) ep robles 2012
i caught myself
dreaming myself
streaming lines
disjointed fairy tales
a seam i tripped
and pulled it back
and saw my self
dreaming life

THE POOR BEGGAR
(c) ep robles 2013
THE poor beggar called loneliness
no worse have I see —
tattered clothes and holes for sock
and outstretched arms —
not for money
but for love

WEAKER SOULS
weathered heart sun bleach
bloodstained dreams sing
tender notes ivory be
of memories past time
and longing be strained
such power still remain
but less than i wish
what gave strenght
my love to death
i fear it the most
be strong this life
and live this dream
that breath in us
a gulf that keeps
our dreams at bay
awaits weaker souls

GESTICULATED POEM
(c) e.p.robles 2011
I gesticulate a birth poem
bottom third trimester
dilation my wish-so
and born soon for the world
such words pleasing to you
a mother is proud but sore
and weakness a strength
how i wish to born prose
before time consumes
but life begs patience
rhythm breath contraction
pushing primal need aside
a course for life words
cry pain release love
exhausting pleases me
rest kiss hand forehead
our child pure touch
eternal love beyond
poetry born in cradle

WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
(c) e.p.robles 2012
when the words cut so deeply
do you cry for a lost love
when a long day comes to end
and has anyone ever said
they love you in truth
chasing ghosts away most
i can say love is my heart
and what darkest sorrow
i could never give it back
and you cry death away
and life cradles you
lovely soul hold on
and listen to me now
i would rather be alone
then betray such a love
so when the wind cuts you
and when you look away
know i am always with you

ARRANQUE
(c0 e.p. robles 2011
Flamenco guitar tremolo string
tingle spirit umbrella drink
enticing spice taste spring
artist seduce the moment
falling lust burst reds
fire air lung moan
lost in life
lust most
love

A RUINED CASTLE
(c) E.P. Robles 2012
Why did you go
brilliant light
in haste you left
a speck of ember
it burns my heart
How long shall it be
like sands ebbed away
are all my hopes
a castle ruined at sea
Lovely bright my life
a taste of Spring
is what river i thirst
just a cup to drink
This i know briefly
then it goes away
ever so quietly
a tide within the sea
