Traveler for awhile stop
Before on your way you go
Peep into my shop
See what’s on show.

For you prettily done
Of the finest stardust
Smile laughter fun
Faith care and trust.

The items let your fingers scroll
Choose what you really need
Under rainbow a leisurely stroll
Or only the devil’s speed.

There’s a brush too and the dye
For when you find clouds above
To make your own blue sky
Fill it with hope and love.

For you too a candle light
If your way is strewn in dark
A heart’s poem for vigil of night
When sleepless you embark.

Traveler for awhile stop
Before on your way you go
Peep into my shop
See what’s on show.
In her eyes
on her frail frame
four monsters feast

Of shame she dies
vanishes her name
devoured by the beasts!

A poet is a diplomatic kind of person
She lies metaphorically
Revealing the truths figuratively...
Being cynical in between the lines...
Sometimes swear in similes
Provocative in a classy way
vocabularies are sewn with elegance
A diplomatic poet's way!
If I Could Only See You

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I would tell you how I feel
Let you see within

Show you all the things you missed
Since you've been away
Give you all the love I have
Ask you to please stay

I wish that you could hear me
And know these words are true
This love I have fills my heart
And will always be for you

They say that time will heal the pain
And this hurt will slowly fade
That deep inside I'll hear your voice
And you'll help me through each day

If I could only see you
Just one more time again
I'd thank you for the time we had
My true love and my best friend

If I could Only see you

*Carl Joseph Roberts
For all those who have loved and lost. It may be a Wife or Husband, Lover, Family Member or Someone Dear. It may be from a Death or Divorce or a Long Term Break Up. This is about the hurt that's felt inside. I hope you can feel this one.

twinkle brightly within their eyes
whisper nothings they exhale as sighs
be their every breath they take
be their very worst mistake

be their moment, be their sin
be their beginning, be their end
be a verb or be a noun
be their slippery ***** to ground

be the night star in their skies
be the sunshine in their eyes
be the one who makes them cry

be the one who makes them laugh
be the dumb to their smart

be their Mom, be their Dad
be their Lover, be their Sad
be there Tomorrow
be their Yesterday
be there Forever
when they don't stay

****** a Poet!
its so simple
its the little things
that make a ripple
spreading outward rings
into the Universe

how to ****** a Poet?

*First
I strolled to the park after a long time
In between passed some seasons
Hunted there for meaningful rhymes
Give the ink’s flow some reasons!

The place didn’t look exactly like before
The trees seemed to grow taller dark
The buds had flowered fruits now they bore
New lovers had arrived in the park!

The faces I knew were not passing by
The poets the revelers and the crooks
A despair grew I let off a sigh
Had disappeared my frequented nooks!

Old pairs were gone surfaced new teens
Wind carried raw mango’s scent
Mowers had changed known faces of greens
With only a few seasons spent!

Nests up the trees were clearly redone
Peeked out from them new pairs
Children that came to the park for fun
Had must now grown long hairs!

I searched the park from the seasons rolled
And when I reached her quiet stream
My face told me though I had grown old
remained clung to all the past’s dream!

Deep within the patterns of a woven ember’s light
Truth becomes a filament that channels every thrill
Illuminating on the sky as features form the void
Culminating in our hearts that gladly find its will

Serpentine unwindings through the great expanse of space
Capturing a falling star for but a moment brief
Pondering our every thought as heaven sends its beam
Fueling both the fire and our happy hearts belief

Hand in hand we fly upon a moonbeam made of love
Dancing on a constellation, sharing of its light
Casting off the reasons why this day should ever end
Following the movements of this endless evening flight

Ours is but a journey that will bring us to the dream
Only in an atmospheric setting shall we play
Here before our eyes awaits the life we wish to start
While we row with happiness throughout the Milky Way

Ribbons of a cosmic flow now touch our every pore
Beauty calms the wake before the majesty we’ve seen
Safely carried by a stream celestial in design
As the night does paint the sky in volumes so pristine

Now we gaze upon this realm as wide as is our love
Time will be the portal which together we walk through
Welcomed in a fashion that invites our honest smiles
As this day the universe does know that I love you
Life is
and will always be,
more than the sympathy,
the empathy,
I feel that you
belong to me
I belong to you
as we go through
together.

And when the storm clouds come,
like razors
to cut the sun,
when raindrops run ahead
feet like lead
pounding head,
I'll be led
watered,fed
put to bed,kissed to sleep
just to keep
together
