Jane Roberts Poems

Her baby voice is loud and free.
She shouts with joy, anger and interest.

I don't like to make so much noise,
...

Good evening sweetheart
Are you feeling really clean
After washing away the ashes of the week?
Leave them at the bottom of the bath
...

She wants to spoil it for me.
Everytime I feel happy
She comes along,
and makes me feel bad.
...

It's too hard for me to be good.
I'm just pretending, I can't hold it together.

I want to throw it all away.
...

I am on the brink of success
And what makes me feel good?
I meet my mother
She says 'well..........................'
...

No
I like the word
Is there anything less?
...

The forest is silent, soft and loving.
There is no need to speak.

Meet me there
...

I have uncovered the full force of my un-recourcedness.
I have come away empty handed,
Without even the meagre tools
I had come to trust.
...

She has entered your world
And she isn't going to go away
Yet.
...

Just let me live
Please.
I don't want to die.
...
