Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
Nor casting pearls to swine.

Yes, I knew about the novels but my interest lies primarily in poetry.
Tons of great Russian literature thats not been translated, I suspect Russian poetry too that has not been translated into English.-Tyr

It's a great pity that nowadays the majority of children do not read as much as we did in their ages. And they must be pushed and forced to not to become ignorant, narrow minded and one-dimensional. I compare nowadays school program and that of my time and I am really disappointed. Thanks to Lord that I have a home library of hundreds volumes, collected for dozens years. It was a great help to give an additional "home education" to my children and grand children. Besides, I forced I forced them to attend musical school. My son and my daughter are already grateful for this. Grand children are not yet. The time has not come yet.

She Was Twenty-One And Sexy As Hell
She was twenty-one and sexy as hell
her curves rang my lusting bell.
Hair that hung to her slim waist,
her lips so pretty I wanted a taste!
Legs that promised a higher delight
girl I desired every single night.
Eyes that shouted out loving blue,
just promising hot nights with you!
Sweet voice that shouted sexy is me
I the willing flower,you are my bee.
That walk,her hips swinging in rhyme,
caused me to promise her all my time!
First night my eager mind was blown
that body slew me when it was shown.
She then taught me I needed much more,
a big job but she was up to the chore!
Second night,I just barely could move
she had worn out my mightiest groove.
Delights that sear my mind even today,
a hot baby and more I dare not say!
She was twenty-one and sexy as hell
her curves rang my lusting bell.
Hair that hung to her slim waist,
her lips so pretty I wanted a taste!
Robert J. Lindley
Note: Written long ago about a hot gal
I have never forgotten and could never forget
Yes, she was one of those! She moved to Cali, I lost track
of her after that..

Unfortunately I am not sure that such a poetry is of demand nowadays. And it is a pity.

A Look Back
Fleeting the moments of laughter and joy,
Love promises so much more:
There is no finality in the life garnered
Once we see the dread of its end.
So short were the days in the sun:
Where shining dawns offered deep hope
All we once were has now been done
We live and loved in a misty dream.

Let me know if you like this one, trying a new form out.-Tyr
Usurp the Usurpers!
Is it enough? The fat in the FIRE?
Let the blind now lead,
the inept now force,
heedless of our revolting ire!
What about the intense rage of WE?
The builders of the house,
the defenders of new Rome,
travelers that do truly see!
Can our silence blast out a ROAR?
Force blind people to see,
wash away the filth created,
open up a victorious rescue door!
Nay, tis never enough. Life DEMANDS.
We fly with eagle wings,
across trampled terrain,
defying the evil in blind commands!
Never fear, let them finally see
brave beast resting within you and ME!

Note- A drastic and rapid change in this world. One those with morals
can easily see is leading us into a dark pit. But will we silently go?
Nay, not we that hold God and family above all else!

Night Terror May Come And May Go
Night visitor no man may ever see
flees the sunny light of day
Late night comes it to visit thee
demanding oaths you must obey
Life knowing such strange things
a torment that eats our souls
Screams blasting forth it rings
burns the mind like coals
Phantom of the dark, evil night
black shadow in light is cast
Apparition sent for deep fright
dire warning meant to last
Songs of dying in deepest agony
scourges of the torture rack
Evil loves this happy symphony
dread promise to come back
Racing away before light of day
come curses of foul and rot
Demons so often do this to play
and still the heart you got

Live Life, Love Deeply
Life is sweet mists in the trees
rides on a floating rainbow
Smooth sailing on calm blue seas
sunshine to make Love grow!
A dance that spreads pure joy
music soft, slow with wine
Duets with a girl and a boy
flowers blossoming so fine!
Promises of the romantic nights
days filled with epic song
Tours of many wonderful sights
love deep and forever long!
Paradise exists for each heart
a crown for true pleasure
Believe in it, give it a start
life is the greatest treasure!

Now, Just Let It Be
Far behind, dear life stood very still.
Cry went out- Save me please!
From ashes to heart raced that chill,
shaking he stood, weak at the knees!
No medicine could grant needed relief,
where spirit fell on its own sword
Only faith, steadfast in holy belief
could defeat the darkest invading horde!
Across the new found meadow was HOPE.
Miracle sent forth from up on high .
Horizon opened up, given greater scope
Soul breathed easier and began to fly!
Far ahead, sweet life could then see.
Beautiful scenes promised to reward.
HOPE spoke out, now just let it be
Soft and easy what was once very hard!

I Shall Not Embrace Your Cold Heart
I shall not embrace your cold heart
Nor look into those vicious eyes
Love exists not on a scientific chart
But in passion and heart's ties
I shall not eat of the jaded fruit
Offering you set at my place
Nor fall for your so sexy and cute
Smile upon such a pretty face
I shall not lie upon the bed you offer
Nor drink from the cup you stain
O' yes, I am now your biggest scoffer
Love broken was my greatest pain
I shall not embrace your cold heart
Nor look into those vicious eyes
Love exists not on a scientific chart
But in passion and heart's ties

The Rushing Storm
Storm found my body gently at rest
it rushed in with an angry blast
Did its worst, then did its best
I had no time for it was too fast!
As the clouds smothered my views
the thunder rang upon my ears
Sad when we finally get our dues
yet such has to bring its tears!
Bold lightning stabbed the sorrows
each one cutting firm holding ties
Looking for far sweeter tomorrows
bed shaking where my body lies!
Nobody saw but this tale is true
bad sneaks upon us in such acts
When we may sleep without a clue
storm hits us with painful facts!

A poem written for a free verse contest. I am primarily a poet that deals in rhyme but sometimes its fun to write in free verse.-Tyr
The Dance, The Lady And Longing Thoughts
As the moon beams upon her happy face
Stars light her brilliant blue eyes
She the sexiest lady dancing there
Flames burning into many lusting minds
A glow emerging in one long lost, sad heart!
This night feeding glory and pleasure now
Her dress flares up as she spins about
Raven hair shining out upon the crowd
Goddesses envy her soft grace and charms
The strength in her poise celebrates life!
Each dance gives more admiration and glee
Softly answering yes to each dance request
Such beauty wrapped in a humble glow
She a princess in mind , spirit and soul
And we, we the admirers- seeking her hand!
