RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Observations”

Observations I sit watching a parody of fools Spitting out hope The janitors of our conscience Excreting promises siphoned off by the masses I’ll chuckle as the lasso Of endless circles Traps its unsuspecting Ambitions Robert K. Stephen

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Hope”

Hope You- Held me spellbound Freshness Not of plastic standardized perfection Your smiles in my direction were of courtesy Civility And cultured background I tried to touch you but you needed everybody Those surly ugly butchers of your beauty Oblivious to you They thundered over you Leaving hoofprints on me Ripping and agonizing torture IContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Hope””

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Hysterical Silence”

Hysterical Silence Majestic craggy mysticism Awe inspiring Timeless Proud Towering over the Ken and Barbie dwarfs With the $19.99 Polaroid imaginations Snapping like spoilt poodles (left at the four-star kennel) Soon their blind eyes tire Such strenuous activity! They can see the damn things on their screens anyways Now it’s off to air-conditioned retreats OfContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Hysterical Silence””

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “One of the many”

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds); “The Visit”

The visit (at an LTC Facility) A Mercedes parks just off the main entrance A sleek and well-heeled man emerges from within Treading along feeling so fine with his charitable act He visits once a year  At the “welcome desk” he is advised his father is not yet Prepared And would he kindly wait aContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds); “The Visit””

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Wine”

Wine Light-headedness is a sign Of unbridled optimism Deceiver of situations Joyous roguish red nectar Roaring through the veins Like a tropical river teaming with mystery you Softly laid me to the floor But I Still wanted more And you Like some deceiving whore caressed my lips Until I slowly entered into insensibility Robert K.Continue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Wine””

RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “All we get are the coffee grinds”

All we get are the coffee grinds The mighty converge in golden dimensions Crouched behind pheasant and brut Forging the new world For the exclusive benefit of all Charades for fools and the scribbling bloodsuckers Fantasizing Vomiting streams of foulness to be lapped up by ignorant optimists Applauded from the black robed rotunda Let itContinue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “All we get are the coffee grinds””

Finalized Conclusion You don’t want to BUT You don’t know where to go What you’ve done wrong How many people you have hurt Pain Suffering Selfish grief What can you say What can you do What shall you do The razor blade gently calls To  Slide You away Robert K. Stephen
