POEMS

Poem - Robert

8/4/2015

Robert
 
You bugger.
You cheeky spirit
Your quip, your lip
Drips like honey
And leaves its trail
A thick blanket of goo
Covering  your thorns
Protecting your impact.
You bugger.
 
Robert
 
You king.
You stubborn lion
You rock of Gibraltar
There.  Definite.  Big.  Grand.
Leaving your trail
 As you swish your four-wheeled tail
In your various chariots
Through the land.
You king.
 
Robert
 
You lover.
Of life, of love, of heart, of song
Of Janey.  Such deep love.
For your darling, your torch.
You’ve left your trail.
In your friends’ hearts
With deep grooves
Full of you, for ever.
You lover.
 
Robert
 
You gentle spirit
You breeze, you cloud
Floating through life
Touching gently down
Sugar dusting your trail
As you reinvent
And start again
A child in a toyshop.
You gentle spirit.
 
Robert
 
You bumble bee of life
For today, not tomorrow
Humming along, happy as can be
Picking up new pollens to try
Not aware of your trail
Such energy, directed forward
Never back
Singing your own song
You bumble bee of life.
 
Robert
 
You friend of such heart
Your truth shone through
Safe.  Real.  An open ear, a watchful eye.
Your gentle presence
Your trail of smiles
Your wine in hand
Your laugh singing out
You friend of such heart.
 
Robert
 
You rest, in peace
No more pain to fight
No more fear and regret to face
No more sadness at leaving
You’ve left your trail. With us.
You were alive, so alive
In every way, in every day
You always will be, in OUR lives
You rest.  In peace. 
 
Robert.
 
Thank you Robert.  For your life.  Your cheek.  Your love.  Your heart.  Your vibrance.  Your courage.  Your fight.  Your depth.  Your laugh.  Your fun.  Your welcoming.  Your strength.  Your truth.  
 
Thank you for sharing you and making such an impact.  In your life. ​
