Robin Marchesi Reviews Cartoon Molecules Collected Poems

by

 
 

Robin Ouzman Hislop’s “ Cartoon Molecules ” is a maze of semantic amazement, a true testament to the magic of words. His uniquely poetic perceptions mesmerise us, metaphysically, to the content of his work. He opens doors within us all not available in the mainstream logic of modern logic.
 

 
Hislop’s world goes much deeper, there are no grammatical or structural restrictions to his word flow for he is a literary law breaker. His words resonate with a unique melody that parodies the more surreal, yet equally relevant creations, of the earlier beat generation. It’s a poetry that leaves a haunting trace which may often spring unexpectedly to mind in the oddest moments of time and place. Try them and see for yourself!
 
 
Robin Marchesi, born in 1951, began writing in his teens, much to the consternation of his mother, the sister of Eric Hobsbawm, the historian.
 
In 1992 Cosmic Books published his first book entitled “A B C Quest”.
 
In 1996 March Hare Press published “Kyoto Garden” and in 1999 “My Heart is As…”

POEM ON MY 33rd BIRTHDAY. A Poem by Robin Marchesi

by

 

robin marchesi graphic

 

 

When you look back on the pages,

Of some half completed book,

When you contemplate,

Its twist and change,

And the age its teller took.

 

To unravel countless cases,

To weave a central theme,

To bewitch you with its reverie,

To sniff its inner dream

And to wrap you up in a wisdom

That you don’t quite understand.

 

It’s not a lot to read half a book

And contemplate its style.

For the story is half woven,

The tale has made its due,

Like a life that’s found a meaning

You know what you’re going through.

 

And you lean your head out forward,

To taste what you’ve to come,

But the words already written

Chapter verse and song.

 

And you’ve ploughed a furrow on your brow,

You’ve planted a seed that points a way,

For you’ve heard it now,

Spoken clear,

In that first half of living

Such an inner sense beginning.

 

When you look back on the pages

Of a half completed book

When you contemplate its twists and change

And the age its teller took.

Me

What is this residue? A Poem by Robin Marchesi

by

A man leaves a residue in a woman
What is this residue?
Does, in its microscopic materialization,
The left over semen
Make a permanent mark?
Do I, as a man,
Wish to leave traces within you,
A form of forever that nestles in the womb?
Or is there another way
In which man may give
Substance to her, who has stirred his loins
Can I be stronger than I’ve ever been?
Will I be able to give love without demands?
I wonder why I need to disown a feeling
To beautiful to own?
Must it go,
Depart,
Tiny traces,
No more than residue
In an unseen, personal, world?

CHRISTMAS PRISON POEM… Maidstone 1975. Robin Marchesi

by

 
 
Remember the beginning and end,

The future and past,

What is to come and what webs you cast,

Or float in seas,

Never begun.
 
 
Remember the elements, within and without you,

Remember the space you place in life,

And at what pointless point you persist

In peace…
 
 
Remember symbols and powers

Unknown to all,

Remember each rights right

To be right within wrongness…

Search decisions and positions

For purposes and paths…
 
 
Remember Maidstone 1975…
Trifle cakes and dreams
 
Beyond imagination…
 
 
Me

MI CORAZON ROMPA. A Poem by Robin Marchesi.

by

Me33

 

My eyes have eaten the Morna Valley in a feast of sight.
The sweet pine and thyme scented airs fresh from the seas
have reached my nicotine stained lungs.
 
I have stood privileged to hear flocks of birds chattering in shrubbery
or to watch a falcon riding the swirls of wind before diving,
like a panther, for its prey.
 
I have witnessed the vast skies of night that dwarf humanity with constellations,
solar systems, planets, moons and universes.
 
I have sensed shadows stalking my footsteps; felt the pull of lunar tides,
on my own tides, as fascinated; I’ve watched its penumbras and changes,
its cycles, in our petty breaths.
 
I have held cloud-induced commentaries with God and in the vast silences of my daily time;
I have spoken to the dead, lulled by their camaraderie, comforted by their presence.
 
No doubt, peaky and press-ganged, at some future date,
wandering down Ladbroke Grove in London, I might remember this intelligence,
amongst my city-influenced companions.
 
My heart breaks
‘Mi corazon rompa’
For you,
 
Ibiza,
 
The nearest place I found
To home…

MY HEART IS AS… (2002).Poem. Robin Marchesi

by

 

My heart
Is as
The old
West pier
In Brighton.
It has been stripped down,
To bear minimum,
The structure crumbles,
Winds, Rains and Tides,
Have wrecked
Once noble
Steel girders.
The Penny arcades,
Little lights and joy rides,
Have passed into history.
Only the starlings, black clouds,
At sunset,
Visit.

My heart
Is as
The old
West Pier
In Brighton.
Shrouded in darkness,
Awaiting collapse,
It is old enough,
To remember
The little boy,
Who once played,
When the Pier
Lived,
And both made dreams,
That are now,
The Property
Of Ghosts…
 
 
Me

MY BROTHER AND I.Poem.Robin Marchesi.

by

 

 

 

Awaiting aeroplanes for separate destinations

 

My brother and I

 

Walk together

 

Through the old streets of Palma.

 

An advert tempts us toward an exhibition

 

Showing 15th century instruments of torture.

 

We visit, instead,

 

A commemoration.

 

Old photographs from World War Two.

 

This war began 1939

 

Who cares now?

 

Aliens

 

We leave the cathedral gallery.

 

Born in another time, we fight another battle.

 

 

 

My brother and I,

 

Holding court on a park bench.

 

Two from one womb,

 

Immersed by our own private, interlocking, part.

 

The family from which we came,

 

And the families before us,

 

That keeps us a part,

 

Off springing our own branches.

 

It seems a miracle

 

And yet so common,

 

This touch of the centuries.

 

 

 

How many other brothers and sisters,

 

Together have trudged these cobbles,

 

Wondering if they have the where with all,

 

To sustain, their remaining years,

 

Without instruments of torture,

 

Or World War Two?

 

Neither pilot, nor inquisitor,

 

Knew of ‘crack’ ‘d ozone layers.

 

All the battles each generation faces.

 

It’s only ourselves we punish with oppression,

 

Not just the oppressed, but so too, the oppressor.

 

 

 

Cultures divide, civilizations decay,

 

But my brother and I, bonded in blood,

 

See colour beyond set definition.

 

Look at all the brothers and sisters

 

In the world, who stood their ground,

 

Countless times in countless years,

 

That we, two, at this millenniums end,

 

Can be united,

 

Awaiting aeroplanes for separate destinations

 
 

Me
