belovéd

your aura, blue and baring of enchantment,
had only once baited my very confessions;
shards of lingering thought more consistent
than any one of my dreams.


i found you unbearably gorgeous,
and for every time you hypnotically looked my way
i have always failed to contain my teary breath of life for you;
this, i just may consider love.


my heart may aspire this beauty in my truest words
for how i can never do any less than bleed
its conveyance to influence justice

to your angelic name...

belovéd.

my beautiful Moira

undying angel, my sweetest gift,
there are no shadows that can veil you away from me

for how easily you have ever,
ever reduced me softly to my secret self


through tears of joy and of no sweeter sorrow
than how my lips remain ungifted
to touch your very own


i have vowed to love you... secretly;
you, my beautiful Moira...


and i truly, truly do.

a whisper to my soul

Posted by Robert Anderson On Friday, August 19, 2011 0 comments

beneath my veiled brown eyes i dreamed
a whisper to my soul
by my fair muse whose aura gleams
and lives to make me whole
she swore with her undying breath
as intimate as love
that here beyond my mortal death
my words will be thought of
then wrapped me warm in both her wings
while lulling me to tears
which gave me faith for everything
i've poured throughout the years
and oh, her heart, it pillowed me
until my essence slept
and soon i crumbled to debris
while beauty softly wept

belovéd mother

i can't begin to tell you how often i think of you. it's strange to me because as i rest my head at night i consider that i've never really known you, never saw you in the light i often fantasized about... where i see us happy. you weren't the first person i thought of each day i woke and you weren't the last before i slept; there wasn't the slightest fragment of you rested in my heart at the time. i need you to know it was all for the way i held my anger. i clenched onto it so defiantly i couldn't lay it to rest because i was haunted by the deficient way you let me be born... and i hated you for that. but i honestly try to take comfort in knowing all things happen for a reason in spite of myself. there are things i'm thankful for: i want to thank you for giving me a fighting chance at life. for my older sister without whom i'd never have survived the ordeal of a rough childhood. for ever being YOU regardless of the lifestyle you fell into while you were here (this one makes me believe your strength is my own). for holding us, your children, as close to you as you held God and never forgetting we were out there (i discovered how you wrote our names in your bible at your funeral). for your love (because no matter the severity of my bitterness you'd always accept me). i'm 32 and just now beginning to realize how stupid i've been. i'm sorry for calling you a drunk when i should have only called you a queen... forgive me. you've taught me so much more than you'll ever know. i've learned that even when you're not raised by your natural mother you can never escape the way she can mold you. i love you mom. i pray you've found the peace you've so desperately struggled to find in life.


your eldest son,
Robert E. Anderson

P.S
the valentine card you made me while you were in prison rests in my heart. i know that poem so well.

fragility

Posted by Robert Anderson On Wednesday, August 10, 2011 1 comments

my heart dances
ever meekly
amidst
the rhythmic winds
that whisper
your beautiful name

searching, searching
to penetrate
the beau ideal of
your essence
which to me
seems to have been
born of an angel's dream

oh, hear me,
hear me, my love

my fragility
undyingly
beckons

falling in

Posted by Robert Anderson On Tuesday, August 9, 2011 1 comments

i fall
into the fragile moment i met you
while sitting alone
in this cradling solace

drifting in and out of
its calming echo
and loving the way
you've always made me feel

remember, love?
oh, how someone like you
can be so infrequent
in life
yet in dreams
you're far more existent
than eternity
