I RELEASE ME

Image

i release me — my shackles broken

what wondrous bliss running in the fields
the reeds of flowers cutting my heels
such pleasure to feel the pain of freedom

and honey dew sun on that grand horizon
what golden dreams melt across my heart
the free dove flying sideways in blue-sky

i release me my fears — tear soakened

though i realize this dream is fleeting
i drink it with graceful passion dew
and dreams i swim in gentle streams

i am human but just a guise for today
for i have found the key to life’s lock
and i run in my fields of tomorrow’s life

IF I LIVE TO SEE

Image

a long time ago
a certain place
in a peculiar time
a naive notion

we danced in hand
and cursed the time
that moves across life
two lovers kissed by love

but if i ever live to see
such a love again in life
i will run toward Hades
that fire burns less than you

someone like you so intense
touched me across the land
beyond the surface or air
and grabbed my soul so tight

and you spoke candy words
to this gentle soul inside
i wanted to believe in you
but you decided to lie instead

and if I ever live to see
such a love again in life
I will run toward Hades
such a fire is cooler than you

CHANGE

WHAT we change
changes us
profound ways
inclined
something better
sometimes bitter
and hindsight —
always knows

LIFE’S STABLE COIL

Image

when morrow begs heart
in days of fire that pain
be calm for I come
this too shall die
and dreams comfort
too they roll with eye
along the fine line
between insanity
and life’s stable coil

THAT DREAM

Image

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

BROKEN THOLE

Image

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

FIVE POEMS (v)

V

i cannot forget but shall forgive
one the mind, the other the heart
and if forget my warmth should you
i gave to you from my heart
please forget I crossed your path
pain is true and love that more

FIVE POEMS (i)

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2013

a strain of realization
beyond the eye-see

a touch of familiarity

delicate is such wonder

a poised daisy in a field
more expansive than mind

dropping tears in vast
nothing do

a gleam of immortality
dipped fog-dew

BELLS A RINGING

Image

LISTEN dear do you hear
the bells a ringing?
there were birds
in the sky
and they were singing
a wonderful song
full of loving
so I say just to you
take my hand
there be love all around
but the love I want
is what I found
it’s you — oh you!

MY POWER

Image
(c) E.P. Robles 2012

mirror mimic me
show me shadow
perfection glass
give me lies…

mind me mirror
speak easy
flowers —
mist of perfume

tonight is sin
tomorrow beg
grace above —
who forgives

time burns
my flesh young
plans in plans
i trick you…

twisting fate
upon my finger
command you —
with my power

tonight I dance
sing and kiss
tomorrow wake
put on my face
