Well it is

We know each other lovingly

Thru all days
Thru all nights

Thru all joy
Thru all pain

We walk our rounds

Singing

We bring

What we were given

And let it follow it's course

Unto the heart

Unto the soul

Of creation

walking
jeffrey robin Mar 2015
walking the soft beach / dawn sky

we always know everything

Clouds are not ( or may be )
On high

the lovers !

Yeah

The lovers !

Are everywhere


//


Pretend to be happy
Pretend to be sad

No one really cares

Tell us all the truth that you dare !

Nothing else means anything

///

Walking as if you are

THE FIRST SIGN

of the new
Of the majesty

Nothing pure has ever been denied

And here you are ! ( finally )

••

We trust the feeling of our life

We trust each other completely

( or die )

•••••

We trust each other completely or die

///

We know the many who have  died already

////

We walk the soft beach / heads held high

The light is shining in the sky

The light is shining in our eyes

& there I was ....... !
jeffrey robin Mar 2015
over at a friend's house and he was watching

This professional wrestling crap

On the t v

And I could not help but think

Of the love affairs described so

Pompously and piously

On Hello Poetry

only the LOVE POEMS

are far more fake and contrived

And far more boring

///

Of course

The LOVERS express themselves

Far more violently than these wrestlers do

But far less realistically !

They express themselves  as being so

Unconscious and  stupid

It's impossible to even think that

They could figure out how to

Take their clothes off !



( which they don't

The affairs being only ******* fantasies )

//

Fake fighting

Fake loving

Oh well

I knew this incredibly saintly girl

From India

Celibate and pure

We spent so many hours together

In love

We could go to a places of the heart most of us

Cannot go

We could talk of secret truths and longings

With no fear

///


Together

REALLY !

the world was ours to serve and thusly share

Only the real

The life giving

Tender feeling

And tomorrow

And all children

Were there

Only the god light

Only the true sight

Only the world

Only the god light and the world

She narcissistically

Pussified the word " love "

Turning it into a description of her

Genital throbbing

And turning each man

Into her personalized version

Of a walking *****

Thusly

When she saw an entire generation

Of *** addicts

Turn the world's children

Over to the war machine

( for LUV of country ! )

She was glad

And rejoiced full heartedly

In the suffering all around

for with each death

She saw a vision of herself

What symbols can be used to

Describe


INFINITE LOVE ?

( infinite love )       Yeah         ( infinite love )

Standin by the waters of the ocean

Infinite love                 ?                        

Well
This might describe the         Infinity

But how do you picture
The
                                                   Infinite devotion ?

Or the immaculate sense of trust ?                          

///

We wander the hills                                  

We see ///       Battleships approaching on the seas

We gather our arms and protect the babes

For the sake of god

And for purity

::   love   ::

In any hour of any
                                                        " Scene  "

Who are we ?

&

What are we doing ?

Lay on the tip of the tongue

( infinite love )                ( infinite love )

    
In the matter of the heart

The simple eye knows what it sees

Truth is the only seed

So that must be the place to start

                                       ••

Infinite love

What are the symbols that describe it ?

ONLY YOU IN YOUR PURITY

on the earth in its majesty

The power of ALL
The power of ONE



//



the power of BREATH

Beyond life and death

In the power of your fearlessness

the first step is to know
jeffrey robin Mar 2015
that it is a journey
Of
1000 miles

//                                            
She was sittin on the bed with the 200 lbs of
Macrame string that we managed to buy
At Fisherman's Wharf

With the help of 5 complete strangers

Who had showered us with the

Life altering kindness

You think really doesn't exist

( but it does ! )

//

And she said

DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME MAKE THE BELTS AND POUCHES ?

I turned to my brain and told it to tell my mouth

To say NO

Firmly ( but nicely )

I turned to her and said

SURE
WHEN DO WE START ?


//

JESUS **** !

I started screaming ( silently )

at my brain

YOU TRAITOR !

And you , MOUTH  !

You knew !  You knew !!

••

She became ecstatic !

And said

GREAT!
WE' LL START WITH ME TEACHING YOU
THE BASIC SQUARE KNOT !

//

I started to give my brain it's obvious instruction

BUT !

I blurted out

WOW !
I ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN HOW
TO MAKE SAILOR'S KNOTS

//

I turned in a huff to these 2 fiends of brain and mouth

And said ( silently )

ALWAYS ?
YOU MADE ME SAY

ALWAYS   !?
A WEEK AGO WE HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD

OF SAILOR 'S KNOTS !!

///

Then the song
Of
JANIS JOPLIN
came to me

FREEDOM ' S JUST ANOTHER WORD
FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE ----

//

and I now had nothin left

My life was surrendered to hers

( due to the love and kindness of strangers ! )

••

But  ( you see )

There was a massive mistake in my calculations
( again )

You see

SHE
had ( unknownst to me with my selfish heart )

Made a similar commitment to me !

And / more and more /only asked me to do what
I really wanted to do

( even to learn to do macrame )

What I was afraid to do without encouragement

••

WE BECAME A       TEAM !

//

We both had different social skills

She was so unbelievably compassionate

She was so able to break thru people's fears
And enter into such trust inducing relationships

It seemed like magic to me

//

I was really good at organizing things

Setting plans

Seeing the picture of the goals
We needed to accomplish

//

In a certain sense

We never talked

--

A glance back and forth

A subtle gesture

//.

Complete unity

••

People would ask

HOW YOU 2 GETTING ALONG !?

ARE YOU IN LOVE !?

""

and we would look at each other and wonder

GETTING ALONG ?
IN LOVE ?

And not have the slightest idea what they were talking about !

//

And that might help explain
Why

When I read the poems here

I don't know what you are talking about

//

( not the slightest idea )

//

Like there is a weird thing happening
And then it gets weirder

And then someone gets upset because it gets weirder
But it was weird already !

••

And then the strangest vocabulary gets going

Trying to describe some feelings that are really only thoughts

About something that isn't really happening anyway

( or something like that )

••

So

On and on it goes !

I just try to be

Like those strangers on Fisherman's Wharf

Trying to make the magic

That is pure human kindness

//

To throw myself upon

The BARBED WIRE OF EGO

So that you might

climb my back

AND LEAP INTO THE FREEDOM
OF          INFINITY !

Pure forgiveness !

                                                      ^^^^          ^^^^

I once took a high school poetry class

& for an assignment wrote one of those typical

Emotion - dripping ******* poems

( I'm sure you know the kind I mean ! )

••

The next day the teacher

Asked me to stay after class

And she then came over frowning in disgust

Threw my poem on the desk

and said

I ' VE NEVER BEEN MORE INSULTED
IN MY LIFE !

I looked down at the paper and saw

She had given me a       B

//

I looked up confused


She said

OH

IT WASNT BAD IN  COMPARISON TO

THE CLASS

BUT WE BOTH KNOW WHAT IT IS !

As I got up to leave she said

JEFF !

ARE YOU GONNA WASTE YOUR WHOLE LIFE !?

//

Well

That night I wrote a real poem

And gave it to her in the morning

Asking if I could submit a replacement poem

She said OKAY

//

That afternoon she asked me again to

Stay after class

••

She came over smiling and beaming

Said THANK YOU

with almost -tears in her eyes

I looked down and saw my grade           C

//

BUT !

I started to say

She just smiled and said

THE OTHER POEM WAS A WELL WRITTEN
PIECE OF CRAP



THIS ONE !

THIS ONE IS IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE

THIS ONE IS IN THE LEAGUE

OF THE REAL POETS OF THE AGES !

COMPARED TO THEM !

ITS A       C

She paused and said

MAYBE A       C+ !

I got up and floated out the door
