Robbie's Words

Ancient Aegean seas,
What do you offer me?

The Gods of old,
Their stories unfold,
Omega shinning in the Sun.

GREAT Gods;
Adonis, Aphrodite,
Hermes, Eros, Poseidon.

Minoan Disaster,
As the rock Speaks,
Were they angry,
Gods of Greece?

Volcanic views,
Rocky pews,
The Sun with a story tell,
Thera ablaze
Cast to a cask of hell.

The deep blue music,
Orchestrates,
The tide and the gentle breeze,
Under coconut umbrellas,
The mountain back- drop
I take in wonderful Greece.

I will return one day,
To learn some more,
This I’m willing to bet.

Glasses up
Shout Yiamas,
While drinking
A Grenadine Anisette!

The barbarism of this place.
A girl of 9
An Angel on the beach,
3 people outside
About to eat.

Countless attacks,
With the devils blade,
What resides in these people
How have they been made?

I choose love
Over a fu***ng gun.
Owned by mindless
Fu***ng bums.

My mum & dad
Told me to love thy neighbour
To HELP each other
Do favours.

My eyes cry,
For victims of crime
I wanna turn back
The hands of time.

Don’t pull that trigger
Don’t stab that knife
Wake yourself up
Don’t take someone’s life.

It’s all on our doorstep,
The news like a weight,
This is not fu***ng Fate.
We need the debate.

Fate ha what’s that - do you know?
Why God why,
Father and son in Glencoe.

During the day Amie Gray,
I say…
Hold her wife’s hand
Never let go,
Show
That collective love
Grows
To all the victims
Of these past days.
There’s a way,
Together a way.
Keep the flame burning
Shut out the rot,
Cause we are a lot
The haters they’re not.
Let’s be human;
Humane!
Stop the killings
Stop it today!!!!

When we rub against the thorns of life,
And forced to walk the road of brambles, we are not always granted the armour.

We endure continuously, the scrapping
Of one’s heart.

There is not, among the trillions of words,
Spoken in any language a phrase that can ward
The deep etching of pain.

We forsake the level ground,
like balancing on a beam, with oily shoes,
We fall.

When all lights have gone out,
When all else has failed,
We shall always be rescued.

Unbelievably,
You are not a second from another’s thoughts,
One you can nestle in to and weep.
In them is humanity,
Love that outweighs the demons,
One that shall shine a way
Just for you.

In their hands we shall always reside,
We do so, until that time x

This world is too loud.
The noises are able to
Disturb the electrical current
That makes me alive.

I want the enemy of Batman
To dim all power in Gotham
So I can really really hear you.

Im not interested in peace that prevails,
That is also a noisy thought,
Albeit a small one.

I have to learn to listen like the blackbird,
Intently, cautiously, unbelievably still.
She listens in-between all other noises.

My ears need to travel to that place,
Step over all what’s an obstacle,
Even your closest companions.
Only then will I sit opposite you,
You will know physicality,
You will lose your breath,
and exist
If only for a moment.

Like Yesterday.

We never extinguish the flicker
Of a life that was.
When the tears
Wash all we know
And the grief
Strangles every part
Of us…

The light works.
The space that was there,
The area that is vacant
Is for but a short time.

Your hands will one day
Be in theirs.
All that was familiar
Will drench you like a waterfall.

Like yesterday.

When people tie threads,
When bonds are formed,
When a memory is formed
Something is clear.

We never let go.

Ever.

To lose focus
Means your seeing what’s beyond.
In a state of anxiety,
It is easy to focus on what is banging.
Maybe because the banging
Has become your friend.

To lose focus,
Simply means you take back a grain
of control.

When you have a million grains
You will see my face x

Should the wind sit
upon your shoulder
And lend you notes
from the Oak,
Dance with it.
The face you seek
Will whisper your name.

C-19

Who would of thought in 2020,
Our schools abandoned,
Our streets so empty.
Jobs hanging by a thread,
So many people,
dead.
Living a life behind our doors,
Embracing inspiration
Incredible Tom Moore.
So many people doing their best,
Yes
The non-stop machine
Our NHS.
Covid-19 Ensues,
So does the work
By our carers too.
Our Publicans,
Cooking for the old,
Our elderly, being so bold.
Talking to my mum,
But not seeing her face,
She doesn’t do WhatsApp
“It’s all out of place”
We have lost Dad’s, Uncle’s and Brother’s,
Aunties and Grandma’s, sister’s and Mothers.
But something has happened,
Our Empathy you see.
To help one another,
In times of need.

To understand our fateful plight,
Lending to darkness,
Much needed light.
We turn to strangers,
Share whatever…
“Take what you want mate,
We’re in this together.”
To ponder upon humans in this way,
It’s like ‘World Peace’
Well,
That’s what Miss World would say.
We are all the same,
But on different roads,
And that’s ok
In case you must know.
I am happy to give you my shoes,
The sentimental ones,
If it helps you move.
People have shown grace, love and willing.
Corona Virus,
You don’t know how we’re feeling.
But just because we’ve taken a seat,
Know this
We will not be beat.
We as a nation,
Will not be undone,
WE MUST ALL MAKE IT TO 2021!

We are masters in tricking ourselves
to believe that the route we are taking
Is the only one.
It is no wonder when we find another path we feel enlightened.
Do not be fooled.
It is merely the Universe teaching us
we are blind in what we do.

If a storm came just to cause havoc,
We have missed the clearing of our minds.
Upon it, brings the subtle chance
to change.
If the colourful Robin can perch itself
in the midst of the cloud,
Imagine our lives
If we just opened the door.

Bear to Bear

Love has many enemies,
But distance is the worst.
Ones whole self cannot
Be separated by
What was once connected
Indefinitely.

Nature itself
Lends the ‘call’ of the lost offspring.

When I hear the voice
So distant,
It warms me.

When I’m near
It stops me.

Wrap me up in my creation,
For just her being
Cures the ailing.
Swap me the night sky and the stars within,
For one dark night
But to watch her sleep.

As I listen to the hum
Of the plane,
I sink to myself.

Grace be by the will of God
I someday come to sit often
By your side.
Cheek to cheek,
Bear to Bear
