The Shallow MindSometimes my dreams are shattered
by sneers and ill-read frowns.
Someone again reads past my mind
with little depth in theirs.
The danger in not thinking
is a danger indeed.
To be destructive, not creative
twists the meaning of everything.
Many Holes Indeed
You turned your back in anger
when I confessed to you
the path that I had travelled
was far apart from yours.
Your fields grew different flowers
than mine. Your poems told different tales.
And when you gave yourself to me
some part of you was far away.
The moulds that shape our lives
are seldom woven by truth.
The need to find companionship
has many holes indeed.
I hope anyone stopping by will enjoy these two poems by my friend Terry Robinson! The first image is of a famous Renoir painting-for the life of me I cannot think of the name of it now. The second image is a very good looking guy named Anton Antipov if I have my information right. Again-I wish everyone a beautiful and happy new year!

Hi Dev, hope this year brings you many blessings. Thanks for all your comments on both my blogs. I am looking forward to more poems posted by you like this one. Take care...
Hiya Devin
Lovely poems, I find I am drinking in words with emotional depth at the moment. Thanks for them :)
Looking forward to another year of wonderful friendship & truly hoping that this year will be filled with all good things for you (including an in house back massager :) Best always xx
That first one could serve as my biography.
Devin! All the most auspicious changes, (k)NOT(work) challenges, to you, my friend & brother, in 2010! Renoir's painting, done in 1881, is entitled "Two Sisters (On the Terrace". Lovely way of interpreting things, your poetry-minded friend Terry has. Kinda reminds me of this link that my OTHER blogging buddy, James E. Ratté III, sped me to earlier today about Howard Martin & really, truly, speaking with & from the heart, , here! BTW, James does another in the SynchroSphere of meaningful (reeead: cosmic) coinky-dink blogs, aKKumulating Gravity, well worth a visit.

hi devin, what a beautiful, humbling poem. so alike we are (in that we each have our own truth) and yet how different we are as well when those truths are different. i struggle w/that one.
happy new year to you--love and good health to you.
Nina!!
thanks so very very much for stopping by-and I am so happy you enjoy Terry's work too!!
I have been trying to think of ideas to get his books -A Walk With An Irishman and this latest book of poetry he did -more recognized -especially here in the USA
I am sorry I am prob way behind at your blog

I am hoping this is just a "phase" even tho I am not in the greatest of health at the best of times:-)
Happy New Year to you and yours also Nina and the coming addition to your family!!!!
