PHANTASMAGORIC NATURE

Image

if life would allow me yes
a garden from my heart-soil
would grow beyond sky

yellow-green blades swaying
in step with that hidden song
twirling notes and trumping bass

and lay between smooth thigh
nature scents caressing soul
life hunger betrayed too long

phantasmagoric nature reveal
tulips upon a man vessel bare
undulating passion melting there

if life would allow me yes

a farmer beating plowshare
be toiling in your fields

the harvest of a lifetime

ROSE PETAL DEW

GENTLY tell me rose petal dew
before the day of light
when doe jump fence from night
— today this I wish I do
that tremor that light your eyes
from spirit to lips and heart
Say those words if unbinding tongue
and forever embrace my fire-love

DREAD COMES MY WAY

DREAD —
of all the visitors
which rang my heart
on days in slumber
a feeling known apart

This one I choose — away
come another day or —
a kinder spectre can stay
and share a cup of tea

THAT DREAM

THAT DREAM —
which the sentient being swims
one of fire beyond mortal being
one in bed the other free to roam
I have seen — walked Hades
felt eternal anguish — frozen pain
until spent and then release
upon awake, no residual fear
I am complete, nothing controls
death, life, pain, and regret
left within the pits of hell

PALE RIDER

Image

FEAR death you say trembling
what grasp the Pale Rider
has over the mortal coil you cling
that you tightly hold to chest
Such nonsense a folly human thing
living life one foot in the grave
Ignorning the beauty bestowed you
that fear devours life each breath

THE OTHER SENSES

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2012

Of all the senses most admired
they are not the five mostly known
that I see before it’s done
precog is sweet but full of scorn
And sweet conversation — other side
is kind but exhausts my living life
what mostly I adore — affecting change
a higher path worldwide to take
is clearly the best for all – intention

WHEN?

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2012

The day my skies darkened
such lost a cavity in my soul
Immortal doings completely so
that living a drudgery act
When a spirit feels such truth
each tick-tock touches you
loss of love removes a piece
let my days be numbered do!

POLLY

My Polly, nations gather to greet
this beautiful creation from dust
Aberration of fantasy becomes
what life has brought forth to Earth
Thunderous applause for mere moments
to see the twinkle of God’s eye —
a pollination between flesh and spirit
What grand flowers grow within your fields
and highlights of sunburst painting hearts
showers from blue skies and kisses too
My Polly-be so-good for Earth and me

IMPERIAL LOVE

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2012

Woman, I gave to thee
not more than what I am, —
a mere taste of eternity
the breath of imperial love
gently i laid before thee

The heart has no eye, yet —
some believe ocular
that what they see is more
but my love is a tiny thing
and great power so granular

BROKEN THOLE

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2012

And with a shout-sharp word
the chandelier of your heart
shatters — a burst of broken dream
the auctioneer sells your soul
what was once a sphere of tender love
now just tears and broken thole
