Robin Bennett Poems

Lost wandering without a guiding hand
stumbling in sand and bones, along the
skeleton coast; hundreds perished
trapped in cutting sands, or shards of glass.
...

Oh, it happens. I said all
the wrong things to the right
person. Words scattered from
my lips faster than my brain could
...

We climbed so high that day-
Recklessly in love,
I straddled the Sears Tower.
Burning desires drove us shameless,
...

Incessant buzzing from-
the alarm clock
buried in my womb
startled everyone.
...

I am quite successful at being alone,
Failure steps in when loneliness calls.
Rarely am I home at even answer a knock.
Nor do I bother to open the door
...

Turbulent winds churn my insides, as the sea
screams my name; Flushed without color, a
striking contrast against the soft, pale green.
' Come closer, wander in my dear ' whisper
...

Red stiletto heels tap a sinister beat
On slick marble steps
Leading to heavy maple doors
Access to the Chapel
...

Never could I tell if the sun led-
to our burn out or did you tire of me
I did what I always do,
I spun my tales of heartbreak on Saturn's rings
...

Hey old man, why do you climb these stairs?
Three flights, for no particularly good reason,
You huff and puff like a wolf on his death bed.
Back to your lumpy bed; reeking of dried bones.
...

Oh, how rich!
Another strongly worded
letter from your
cheap pen. Even on
...
