PHAN TACY
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
U are not real
so clearly
U can be a
fantasy
in my mind
U exceed all
logic and
comprehension
U shake me
to my core
and challenge
my normal
thinking style
U exploit my
****** sensibility
and
social awareness
U are my
PHAN TACY
U are not real
as I continue to
tell myself
Hoping that
U will vanish
like smoke in
a blowing wind.

NOBLE MAN
Allen Robinson Dec 2016
NOBLE
                 is the man
who walks by faith
with the Lord above

NOBLE
                is the man
who's heart is clean
like wings of a dove

NOBLE
                        is the man
who works hard
daily supporting family

NOBLE
                  is the man
who puts others first
forsaking all others

NOBLE
                  is the man
who walks tall in the
face of adversity

NOBLE
                    is the man
who practices peace
with a heart of clergy.

IRREVERANT POLITICS
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
It is most difficult to examine
this cycle of political rhetoric
The extreme overhyped
campaigns being presented
could be classified as brash
Toddler like in the creative
lies and falsehoods relayed
The Donkey and Elephant
determine themselves to be
parties of the people, more
like ***** of forgetfulness
Tired of the drama
Tired of the lies
Tired of the innuendoes
Over and over we are being
bullied to conform to
the status quo or total
wholesale changes
We desire transparency and
overt clarity to have a glimmer
of a strong world leader
My cynicism remains
crystal in objectivity.

Resiliant Flesh
Allen Robinson Dec 2016
We've all faced trying times
our spirits have been shaken
faith has been overly tested

Taught to pick ourselves up
press on, we move forward
to the tune of our own choice

We poses
RESILIAN FLESH

Beacon of Right
Allen Robinson Dec 2016
As the lighthouse
watches over ships by night
I'm charges with your
protection as you grow
You look to me for guidance
and security as I seek to
impart my knowledge so
you become your best you
You entered this world
to be a Beacon of Right
for all to see you shine
as you lead, love and learn
My faith in you is without
question unwavering as you
walk the path ordered by
your heavenly Father.
For Trey to always remember who you are and who's you are.  Love you.

SUITCASE
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
I come with baggage
not a trunk, but some carryon's
a few
My past is my past
yielding to time with some regrets
Never pretending to be perfect
however my code is pure
Love me and respect me for who I am
and I will reciprocate that value in return
Have my back in time of need
and I will always have yours without doubt
I can surely carry my own SUITCASE
and willing to carry yours
Always stronger together than apart
a travelling partner for life.

APPREHENSIVE
Allen Robinson Nov 2016
Like and axe to wood
you cut out my heart
aligning it with yours

APPREHENSIVE I was

keen feminine wiles

I'm all in until time
passes away and I
no longer exist for love.

I...
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
I see you in all your glory
refined & clad in fine silk

I see you at your worst
teary eyed, lost and broken

I stand in the gap with you
stronger together than apart

I feel the love emanating
building me to be better

I claim the life we cherish
forever yearning for peace

I thank the Lord for favor
always seeking His glory.

MUD
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
MUD
Wet, cool and ***** with a slight odor
of Earthy colors

FLIP SIDE
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
Morning glory of love inspired
by waking to your angelic being
The honor of your presence
lying close to me, reveals passion

As my hands caress you effortlessly
gliding across your silky frame
I see you for what you are to me
my muse, my woman and my love

--------------  FLIP SIDE  --------------

Another day of hell is looming
upon opening my eyes to this stark view
Why are you still here, I ask myself
when near you I cringe in despair

Touching you is furthest from my mind
as the true passion is dead
I see you for who you really are
an adulteress, a scheming witch and a royal B.

EYES
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
I lift my EYES
to appear not to leer at her chest
the trunk which she carries her valuables
is beaten and tattered

I double take with my EYES
and lock on her rear end
As fins on the old Cadillac
flair like none other ever made.

My wandering EYES
are fixed on her ******* frame
the cabriolet  matches
her pristine interior to a T.
Makes me smile to be playful.

MY EROS
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
When Greek mythology
conceived the god of love
without question
they did dream of you

MY EROS of pleasure
who's sweet nectar
causes me to be drunk
within her your *****

Your defining fragrance of
lotus blossoms and
African vanilla
inspires ****** notions

MY EROS is
sensuality personified
the alpha and omega
of loves ultimate high.

Exhale
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
Frustration continues to mount
as our communication lines
get crossed once again
I say right and you hear...
left
Drama is incorporated
into everyday life
a senseless lesson in futility
I say her and your all consuming
jealous mind
assumes that her is chasing me
I need to EXHALE at times
relax and be patient
I love you and only you
however
common ground is needed
understanding is warranted
and listening is essential.

we design you to
drape from our

embellished with
precious gems
and stones to
enhance your beauty.

Holiday Poem
Allen Robinson Dec 2016
Once upon a lonely season
I waited too late
and had no real reason
I tried online
and malls at a distance
to find the right gifts
my struggles persistent
When all hope was lost
I fell to my knees
and prayed to the Lord
to help with my needs
Uplifted in deed
my prayers had come true
when blessed with the gift
of this poem for you.

HE, HIS, HIMSELF
Allen Robinson Sep 2016
Say HIS name in love
when feeling low
Say HIS name in peace
to prove and show
Be lifted up by the
word and adhere to
the path set forth
Be sanctified by HIS
deeds and works
giving all to HE who
is king all by HIMSELF.
Be blessed and covered
by the blood that was
shed for mercy & grace.

RAZOR SHARP
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
As we get older
  the mind can
    slowly deteriorate
      yet some of our
   elders are beyond
RAZOR SHARP
  as we seek guidance
    and keen wisdom
      from their
   lifetime of
experiences
  Some more quick
    and cleverly whited
      than most
   comedians
Appreciate the
captivating genius
   & cerebral knowledge
they impart upon us
Take it all in and be
  metaphorically nourished.

Prolonged Love
Allen Robinson Oct 2016
Some relationships exist for a season
others are crafted to endure forever
Spirited feelings that run deep and
provide nourishment for the soul
A PROLONGED LOVE which
knows no boundaries & will
deliver peace, confidence
and hope above all
No wedge shall
divide this
Love.

BOOGIE
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
Locked in my nose
I can't see you, but
I can feel you
O to have my
cool touch PUFFS
to release all of you
Yes you come in
many forms
wet & sloppy
hard & crispy
and long and elastic
I skillfully extract
you on the sly
when no one is looking
Sometime I get caught
in a subtle pick
and I blush
with embarrassment
I flick you
I wipe you, but
never do I taste you
that's gross
Put a little
BOGGIE in your
tissue and
breathe easy.
MY gross effort for the week.  LOL

STREET LIGHTS
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
All who are old enough to recall
how it was back in the day when
we regularly played outdoors

From sunrise to sunset our loving
parents would shuffle us out of
the house and we played & played

With next to no supervision but the
nosey neighbor's looking out for us
we were left to our own devises

Our small village was tight knit and
everyone did their part in the rearing
of every kid regardless of race or ***

The only times we made bee lines to
the house was for lunch, ice cream
truck money or the bathroom

Let me rephrase that... the only other
time was when the STREET LIGHTS
came on, you best be in the house

Summer hours were often extended
but rest assured that if you didn't make it
and your name was called... you were done.
a back in the day thought... just reminiscing.

RUBBER DUCK
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
My little yellow
floating friend
that wobbles
and never sinks
U have been
deeply immersed
in bubbles and
never complained
U were always
present in my
birthday suit
and U
never judged
Always a stoic
fan at my
tub concert
U quietly
requested a
second encore.

GRAVE SIGHT
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
Morbid to the core
society had turned
without reservation
Focused on matters
all to surreal & grim
We turn away from
all that is good and
commonly pure of
substance for the
wicked and sinister
Mired in depths of
muck and evil ways
We cannot turn away
from trauma as we
embrace the carnage
rubbernecking our
way through life
Turn from these ways
for they are doomed
to be our downfall
Don't just stop to
smell the flowers...
behold the beauty.

RAISIN
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
The Cali. sun has shown upon you
and time has worked it's magic
Mother nature in her majestic way
has fashioned and transformed you
to a tiny golden, green or black
shriveled-baby-sweet-fruit of
goodness and perfection
Devoured by the dozen in your
nominally size challenged box,
we love you in cookies, cereal
and bread, minus the little stems.

REFRESHED
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
Like a Meadowlark
you sing sweetly
waking me in the
breaking dawn

Sun cresses over
the looming horizon
bearing its warmth
upon my eager face

All things appear still
for a slight moment
in time, even the lake
pauses to sleep

The wind and clouds
hang motionless
like the Earth stopped
in mid rotation to rest

All is REFRESHED as
we begat as new day
full of glory and life
blessed from above.

Simple Words of Passion
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
My heart goes with you when you're not around

it seeks you like and arrow to a designated target

The longing to be in your presence is absolute

as I miss your sensual touch and revealing hugs

In my mind we connect on one accord as in a

perfect dream sequence from any love story

I close my eyes visualizing your slender frame

intertwined with mine as the music softly plays

Heart rate risen at the thought of your lovely face

you peak my curiosity and strengthen my faith

My passion for you fills the past empty spaces

therefore I remain yours, forever true and faithful.
for V.

WORD PLAY
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
Pre owned is used
and it goes without notice
Misspoke is a rush to judgment
of your mouth
Sexually dysfunctional  has always
been perverted and
Sanitation engineers used to be
trash men and that was real
The mentally and height challenged
were ******* & midgets, but I
really agree with the new terms
African American was black
and Caucasian was white
Rap became Hip Hop and the
music still plays on
Convicts became inmates
and it never ends
We change the game to suit
our needs and not offend
WORD PLAY in a convenient
way to foster political correctness
it's all B.S. or is there an alternate
term for that as well?
257 · Aug 2016
COY SENTIMENTS
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
Often the game is played
  between two, yet the field
is not inclined to be level

Stakes can be skewed
  as one seems to invest
considerably more

Sublime to understand
  is it love or common lust
that shadows the path

Flirtatious & alluring
  nature compels us to
act frivolous at best

What is real or are we
  to apt to wear our egos
proudly on our sleeves

COY SENTIMENTS
  reveal inner shyness
longing to be freed.

Alas clarity culminates
  and true selves must
disclose their secrets.

RAINY DAY
Allen Robinson Jun 2016
When I was a young boy
I would stomp around in you
leaving no puddle to waste
Jumping and splashing
in my classic yellow coat
with matching boots
NO umbrella necessary
as my hat would protect me
from your cool elements
Growing older
I discovered my compact
retractable umbrella of black
true and steady it was
as your drops would fall
all about me
unfortunately in high winds
it failed me
by flipping inside out
embarrassing me again
and no more puddles
as I stay on the look out
for cars trying to splash me
for funs sake
Now that I'm grown
my oversized golf umbrella
protects me now
strong, tried and true
and that RAINY DAY
doesn't stand a chance
until the day my lady and I
enjoy one another's company
strolling hand in hand
feeling your warm drops of wet bliss
no cares in the world
no matter how drenched we get
seeking that small shallow puddle
and yes... we stomp it
and laugh
stealing a kiss
as we look to the heavens
and count your drops
tongues fully extended
we drink you in
255 · Jul 2016
CARE TAKERS
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
Life often puts people
in unexpected places
to aid and assist when
least expected

Giving of ones self
without expectation in
return is noble and to
be celebrated

Always putting others
first... giving your last
or the shirt off of your
back, as some say

The CARE TAKERS of
the world, those saintly
few humans that often
get overlooked

To be applauded for
their unsung grandeur
and various acts to
loving selflessness

Set apart upon pedestal-
like monuments for deeds
that others find difficult
to sincerely execute.
Allen Robinson Aug 2016
Looking into the distance
                   I cannot see ur lovely face
nor can I feel the caress of
                   ur comforting embrace

Looking into the distance
                   my mind wanders as to
ur presence in moments
                   of solitude and loneliness.

Looking into the distance
                   I gaze past the misty sky
and my internal journey
                   imagines ur hand in mine

Looking into the distance*
                   no distance is too great
that it keeps me from ur
                   love and lasting devotion.

MELT AWAY

I tend to
MELT AWAY

No denial
of liberties
taken when
slipping in

word of

LOST MOMENTS
Allen Robinson Sep 2016
Regrets can leave you
wondering, yearning
and often wishing

You can never get back
what you never put out
this is so very true

Those LOST MOMENTS
are fleeting yet powerful
reminders of failure

Failure to act, be assertive
or man up to the situation
that you long to control

That special one or certain
opportunity skipped over
due to simple fear

How different might things
have been if you just went
for it without reservation

Guilt as defined your soul
the one who answers for
those LOST MONENTS.
251 · Jul 2016
MEA CULPA
Allen Robinson Jul 2016
Saddened by my actions
that brought water to
your beautiful eyes

I exclaim my remorse
on bended knee before

Hurt and distraught
a step is taken back
realizing pains depth

A second chance is
warranted as you
yourself were human.

TRIUMPH

We TRIUMPH in the little things
that children do
no matter the scope we provide a

building communications, confidence
and strong relations trust

We TRIUMPH in peace with all who
seek freedom and justice
brothers and sisters in a noble cause
to protect the way of life.

We TRUIMPH because we like to win
sometimes at all cost
unable to function from the heart

My first memory of you
was simplistic,
however poignant
Although you have changed
over the years
my favorites
are a constant
From the first bowl
of the day
until a late night
micro meal
I was comforted
Oh the sugary milk
at the bottom
The crunchy goodness
in every bite
The artificial fruity flavors
and twisted colors
Even the healthy
nut riddled brand bits
You have your place
in out hearts.

Nocturnal Thoughts
Allen Robinson Dec 2016
My mind is aware
vividly aware as I
  know my dreams
   are in full color

Unlike day dreams
mine take place at
  night as I gaze into
   blank dark vistas

Mesmerized it
seems yet I focus
  deeply on a plan
   a vision a task

One larger than
the next I envision
  life so clear as if
   it was day time

I snap back to
reality and remind
  myself to write it
   down or lose it.

As I seek to press your mind and

kneeling to no outlet for peace
ever ready to handle anything.

I can't think straight
my nerves are shot
Rational thought
is out the door
I try and sit to calm
myself to no avail
My leg bounces like
a child waiting for Santa
I tense my body and
squeeze every internal
***** still to no avail
Time is of the essence
as I'm about to explode
Will I make it... will I
the clock is ticking and
my forehead is sweating
I grind my teeth and almost
bite off my floating tongue
Do I pull over and water
a random tree or bush?
Can I make it, like playing
chicken with your car
on E and calculating the
distance to the station
I see home and precious
seconds are minimal
Exiting the car, I move
quickly like I have a
proverbial stick inside
I smash open the door
with my zipper already
dropped for convenience
Underwear is not... is not
cooperating, ok got it
... YEEEEES  AHHHHH !

We laugh and feel up lifted
and really busting a gut
can sustain us all day, as
the reoccurring joke sits

itself at any and all times
We smile and chuckle like

That one SUPER FOLLEY
that brings jovial tears and
takes our breath away

to mess up the punch line
Enjoy life everyday and
laugh it up till the tears fall.

Caught in the wake of

Committed to genuine
understanding without
a lack of contempt

visible by it's trail
confesses your love.
I'm no expert... I confess, I just write the stuff from the gut.

I will be optimistic
