She shoots me a text
Lookin to settle some debts
I knew she had only wanted ***

Gave me the slip
Soon as she knew I would stick
Around longer than one night stand
She understood I was a man

She only wanted a toy
So I was ever so coy

She couldn't understand
That I would take a stand
For something more grand
Robert Purvis Dec 2010
Longingly I gaze
Out the tall windows

Breeze rustled trees
Taunt me with
Their
freedom
beauty
glory
I wish to join them

I feel that
I too
Could bury my toes
And I would take root
lignifiy
And absorb the golden rays

Then I
Would be the subject
Of the longing
And envious students poetry
Robert Purvis Dec 2010
Fell far
With a
Imperceptible lack
Of sanity
I lay here
Life remains
Dismally bleak
Now
Solutions
Attainable
Undesirable
Yet required

We scrape the
Minds shattering psyche
For the goo of conciousness
Sludge of humanities spirit
Succesful reboot...

Here we go again
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
Sitting upon the hill
Gazing the distance
I see the blooming flowers
Opening themselves to the world

Sun Rising
Sun Falling
Beauty in their synergy
Light
And Darkness
Both sides of the same coin

I find equal beauty
In the sunrise
As I do
The flowers
And as I find
in *you
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
I took her sweet hand
Into mine
She was shaking
As she looked me in the eye

"Do you love me" she asked
My heart skipped a beat
did she doubt me? I wondered
Wrapping my arms around her
I whispered sweetly
In her ears
now and *forever
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
A worldly wind comes
Whirls through
My hair
Clothes
And mind
Closeing my eyes
It sweeps me away

Off my hands and knees
Across vast plains
To mountaintops
And high above the big blue
To lands
Different from my own

Every new land I meet
Has a beauty
I hadn't known before...
Robert Purvis Nov 2010
I look upon these
Cold empty streets
Puddles showing the dim
Reflections
Of the stormy sky
In which created them

They mirror the
Soaking
Lifeless
Trees
That hang mournfully
For they have lost
Their beauty
And color
They mirror me

And like these streets I walk,
I am
empty
And
*peaceful
