BLACK DEATH

I was alone in my mind
walking lonely roads
through my dreams
and nightmares of life
Until I saw you

then again you said
‘this road leads to a dead end’
So I said to myself I’d go
down the darkest path
it has a stench of death
and in my heart I knew

my life’s journey was death

A Black Death holds
no disgrace so I’m told
a restful place for some
I wish away our pain

and in summer days I feel
in the light of truthful pain
and my heart melts away
a sad story of two lovers

That Black Death holds
a truth of love and hate
It eats away the light
a light of love and rein

Black Death smiles
and sings a song
for those who long
for true love and life

Black Death come
take me away
away into darkness
and forever let me —

remember love and light

And the sun and life
Just the ice of your touch
l should be a soulless one
but love I wish you to come

A HUNDRED POEMS — 056

FIRE that burning ICE

axe-plosion      burst stream
at first
a whisper dove

elegantly comes to me

DEVIL flames
kiSsing soul
thunderous passion burning

A high sky ceiling tracing

my dove-love      angelic rope
Weakened hands
i clasp
the golden reed
of Nile

tossing waters moving
soul-vessel
ancient reed

lonely the soul drifting

between bodies of heaven
and that of hell
and Earth

What Kings see, humans know

what angels adore
the devil
— loves
but my dove

SOARS so high above all

pure light eagle eyes

a hush from Creation

soon — the grand scene!

GROSS UGLY BEAST ODE

Image
(c) E.P. ROBLES

Sweltering sweat stain crooked tooth
slush bog humid sticky smell pit
ugly hop-scotch limping feral human
so out of tune yellow bleach bitch
what[?] is ugly too much for you!?!
the lesions of your pretty heart
burst-cyst fakery of humanity
all you see is a monster like me
your illusionary air of love —
leprosy in its finest puss gem

Beyond your illusion of preconception
a heart beats within my breast-beast
one who loves the arts and finery
and a sunset that rises over my soul
the world sees a beast in me but I see
the world for what it be — a greater beast
My club foot partially steady me —
more than what I can say for humanity
I limp in gutters feeding on trash bits
but my heart is brighter than you beasts!

Go!  Die in your beauty!
Be gone beautiful monsters…
let alone the prince in disease
that heart that beats one with nature

no tears worth a pinch of horror
no pain more than familial disregard

SUSHI SAID

sushi said salad-tary times
start bleeding tears —
sushi fistcup bloodymaries
re[sweet]treating all her words
so sushi said; but I have a meal
and raw fish never jumps
when I eat it dead and cold


ABSTRACT LINES

When I think life has passed me by
I look out the window and I see
a rainbow of pain and pleasure
and I feel insecured from pain

But love, that love hugs me tight
and I know every day is a challenge
just like lovers — we struggle
but the night seduces me too

And the day smacks my head upright
so I struggle like most do — yeah
but there are moments when I realize
life is beautiful and so are we
and words cannot ever describe
the challenge of this life

Never let stares or words drown you
my lovely spirit never let them win
You are a dot that splattered
upon the canvass from God’s brush
and what a wonderful creation
abstract lines and deeper meaning

GOD-EYE

THAT tear i wish to be

so pure a true drop-see

an innocent expression

so true conjured from me

made piece sad apple bite

my heels burn in stiletto

but my dress falls neatly

a walk from here to there

but ageless stares see

each frame-flash desire

numb-we my-soul-be always

i wish a rain to dance in

just me and cloud-thunder

that only an eye-God see

What I am inside always

OCEAN AND FOREST

In my dream i rode a wave
not one made of ocean
but that of heavenly
love — that quenches me
and i touched the skin
not of human but so much more
she had daises in her hair
and a smile of sunlight too
we decided to run down there
where the road forks in two
and ran toward the woods
where the love-green hide

the trees from the forest
what do you see in life
that before you is a dream
but greater is the forest

Love is an ocean and sun
and passion that green forest
flowers flotsam and candy
jetsam between love and life

Oh I wish for that beach!
where life can dig toes-sand
and umbrella laughter song
a salty wind caressing us!

BABY EYE

baby eye — so sad and quiet
you sit there in a bundle
and i can hear your breathing
and what heart beats there
a honey-soul to be loved
or one that conquerors

I sat beneath a tree
when i carried you there
and prayed to God
let this one be great
and move hearts —
a ladybug kissed me

I fell into a sleep
and watched your words
and that pen wrote
beautiful poetry too
tears of both sides
that coin always spinning

baby eye — so sad and quiet
your feet pink and tiny too
and those angel-lips pouty
what words will you write
another language angelic script
the first word — coo

so beautiful like the wind
so true like summer colors
a kiss from you is heaven
so i sit here beneath the tree
and kiss the heavens in bliss
its your true colors and words

MY EYES

my eyes — my Creator!
what have i seen —
that Glory within reach
those humble broken hopes
that golden binding Promise
my eyes, what have i seen
no word, expression-be
i see that horizon and over
across the rainbow of love
that Promise not just for-eye

TENDER FORGIVENESS

i tripped across
your ruby shoe
my clumsiness
begged forgiveness

and into that lush
bed of hopeful flowers

i tripped again
your blossom cherries
into heaven that purpose
faith is that forgiveness

and into that paradise
hand-in-hand we walked
