John D Robinson publishes book of love poems

Hastings poet and artist John D Robinson publishes his latest work* in August 2013. He says “This book has been written as a gift and is dedicated to my wife, Carmelina and in celebration of our thirty year courtship. The poems are gentle, sentimental and move delicate across time, softly holding moments and mirroring the natural enchantments of being human; loving life and love”.

John D Robinson is the author of seven books of poetry, the most recent The Unfolding Of A Reclusive Silence Swinging In The Solitudes Of Ordinary Shadows. Selected poems 1991 – 2012. A collection of short stories.  Mr Buswell’s Reflection and Other Stories and External Things, a novel. He has occasionally exhibited his paintings in local bars and galleries along the south coast of the UK.

A couple of examples now follow:

RIVERS ASLEEP
IT’S WHEN,
IT’S LIKE WHEN
RIVERS SLEEP IN
GROVES OF REMINDING
EYES THAT SHAPE
SCENES OF YESTERDAY’S
THAT ONCE FLOODED
LOVERS IN SPACES
OF
ENDLESSNESS.

 

FOR YOU KNOW WHO, FOREVER
IT’S WHEN,
IT’S LIKE WHEN
THE MEREST HINT
OF WHERE YOU
ONCE MAY HAVE
THROWN YOUR SILHOUETTE
WANDERS LIKE THE
IMAGISTS ONCE DID
LOOKING FOR YOU
IN THE SCRIBBLES
OF CRUMBLING
EUROPEAN
LANDSCAPES.
