WALK-IN

Image
(C) ep robles 2012

IN a dream there I went
at first thought —
i must awake surely now
for i found myself inside
another skin

curiously i watched
as a mouse in a corner
imperative do no harm
then revolt consumed
decency for i knew

just a parasite i was
great haste leaving —
i left the scene
and awoke as a criminal

CONSIDER THIS

Image

in my sane sanitarium bees gathering
o’er some ocean skinless creature
a burrow knee deep but vastly so
i sometime gather some piece or bits
this — an hour glass shaped thought
finely falling nexus-falls between me
why surreal-lie squashing all i do

and darkness — what of it

SO BECAME

so became my friend who offered my life
beneath the shade of elephant eye
the brownest emotion of nature’s side

sahara knew me very well — she feels
baking the skin of back from olive

to black        i love her fields

two nights before the feather fell

the light accord

my fair-weather dear

tonight i run to fetch my meal

quickly-swiftly upon death’s heel

THE LAUNDRY LIST

Image

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

SO SILLY ME

Image

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

Image
(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

Image

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

Image

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

ARRANQUE

Image
(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

Image
(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
