THE WALK-ABOUT

Image
(c) E.P. Robles

I was walking my walk-about
just clicking time
upon my heels on Earth
and there came to me
not from within you see
but from the clouds
a voice from heaven

listen soul tread softly
and never turn around
devil hounds are running
as long as you don’t see
mind your journey ahead
and they’ll let you be

I’m just clicking my heels
one step at a time
minding my own business

Miles I’ve gone and more
and my feet so sore
but that sign ahead
says to me a detour

But I can’t leave my path
there’s just too much to see
and that sign is a mirage
so I’ll keep clicking my heels

I’m walking the road of life

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXIIII

just love-
no hope    or harm
a splendid death
luscious little
a tongue bit

orchestra   play close    to me!

desire came last
night — a fearless fire
that mystical touch did you
and now i am not here longer
a balloon rose burst

and queer —
time and space between
no fear     it has died
in place   the kiss
that love gives

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXIII

Beside of me

and into me
Poseidon’s spear thrust
heaving chalice breasts
and white cap foamy waves
what sin

no shame    of me
nature does what she need

GOD AND LOVE

I walk a road alone if I do
what road do you walk – alone
and if we agree in love
then what road we walk
what may save us is you
and me and love and that road

ideology and passion for life
is what measures a slice
a political move not my belief

monopoly of political defense
is not what I subscribe to
its about our children too

In a night billions will die
and Leaders have no defense
and the Spirit has left

That view of life is rot
and defused is common sense
and life a singular defense

There’s no such thing as …
a political move in life
when children believe in you

and I sing an anthem of love
and earth and life and  God
when humans have the choice

to live a life of love
or burn the paradise
given by God and Love

COLORS OF A WORLD IN PAIN

love did you call my name
i was dying in the meadow
by that brook we used to walk
and i remember, too our words
said you — if you love me
you will never walk away
I said dear, there’s no shame
that love caught us two
and the brook sings the same

Her throat washes our souls
in a babble-song for time
and I saw a fawn dancing
the kiss of God bouncing
an orange ball upon the sky

And we dance and angels cry
the dance of life and tears
and the prancing fears

If we cry, angels know dear
and the oceans rise, I know
from the tears of lovers

Pain, Love and Life
all the same in this world
colors of a world in pain

I’m the priest of all salvation
underneath the tears of confession
keep the faith of all my passion

I’m still in love with you
still a place to love in you
but the sands fall empty time

Mortals can only love one
at a time in this world
but over-there not the same

Love is love and love is all
no human emotions but grace
and Light and Joy Reins

THE DISCUSSION

So we agree about the situation
and it’s all very well —
but what to do about the human
those that love and hate

nothing, they will kill each other
and we can wash our hands clean

but what about life and love
they exhibit it too dear
and we are not like them

well, here we are I agree
maybe wait for a One
who can balance it out

dear, we tried that once
remember — they killed him
and now they are more hungry

then I say let human decide
and we know that equation
zero sum

Lover, not if I have my way
I will never abandon
and have something up the sleeve

very well…dear
unleash your love
and Grace will Save them

those animals with souls
we breathed unto them
judges will judge

BORN INSIDE

Born inside a bruised dirt-womb
and tasted asphalt before sweets
and fell into the fire feet first, damn
before my first baby steps too
life is trying to kill me
no matter how hard I try
spit and words don’t help much
but sure makes me feel good
death can have me —
but not today
no matter how hard it tries
death is trying to catch me
it can take the highway
because today I’m walking
walking in the flowers
beneath the sun

GOD-POKER

I stepped outside the deck of cards
an infinite pile of here and now’s
a brand which the Gods call life
and took a peek ahead the hand
that fate had prepared for me —
a shuffle here and cut and cut
and peeked again and smiled
no need to cheat —
when one’s heart the ACE

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXI

When does that end
come
let the new shed life
what left in that past
never was
only seasons do melt
between
what, when, how

PASSION SPEAK SHY

I refuse to believe that love is fleeting
only a shadow made of lust of night
My spirit has built a castle for love
and her rooms are many to fill
each a day in my life for her
and when she comes I have room
and a land so green and grand
full of brooks and trees and life
and flower beds and a vast sky
where she is I do not know yet
but I await her and heavenly love
she will bring and I shall give back —
an ounce of her is a pound of me
and my hand is a river against
her breast that she shall feel
the life of golden years through time
a water to rock and pebbles
and pebbles to grains and sand
and stream shall carry us beyond
to the other life above heaven …
