    Poem I wrote this afternoon. Have a contest it may fit in if it passes my three day look back again test. -Tyr




    Blues, Shoes and Dancing


    Saw a terrifying ghost today,
    apparition of the ages gone by
    too much sadness in its play
    dark clouds in a weeping sky!

    Saw a dead man dancing a jig,
    headache seeing such lame moves
    All bones with scary red wig
    hairy feet were horse's hooves!

    Saw a fallen warrior cry,
    misery in his quivering voice
    Kept asking , tell me why
    my dying was never a choice!

    Heard a song that ripped the blues
    danced I did, but with no shoes!

    My Girlfriend's Legs

    A woman, so lovely my mind waltzed in a haze,
    as the sun rose she glowed in rainbow hues;
    As she stepped from bed my heartbeat would raise
    into a crescendo of blasts two by two!
    An image that sent waves of sweetest delight,
    romance misting in the air she trailed
    Save me, save me forever that glorious sight
    (With her in my world I never failed.)

    She that touched my inner spirit with her grace,
    soft spoken words that had a sexy ring;
    Memories my mind could never dare erase,
    dreams so fantastic that nighttime would sing.
    First time I saw those tanned sexy legs so long
    I knew paradise was showing its wide open hand
    Then I begged her to grab and bring me along
    as she danced her way across this great land.

    Those eyes that twinkled at my stumbling fall,
    shine with starlight spreading unselfish cheer
    Yes, sweet memories my heart captured it all
    melted down every time I heard my love say, my dear!

    The View , a Narrative...

    The View

    At the end of Mulberry street
    stood a massive old and weathered oak.
    With an owl rested there every night , just waiting
    for the right meal to wander by,
    then silent wings swooped effortlessly down
    the massacre hardly made a sound at all.
    I watched from my bedroom window each night to
    see this act of natural savagery and the feast
    Even saw a black kitten become the monster's meal
    Yet never did I think of it as barbaric savagery
    because man eats whatever he wants with arrogant glee
    As master over all creatures and with contempt
    for the weak and lame,
    Throat cut and bloodied the cow so peaceful
    becomes next day's burgers and we bat not an eye.
    Unholy indifference reasoned to be a normal act
    by we lords of the earth, we takers of all weaker
    things.
    Great to find the old Mulberry still a launching pad
    after these past decades.
    And man changes not except his clothes and his
    ideas on his superiority over known and unknown Universe.

    Upon The Gallows Stands The Condemned


    Upon the gallows stands the condemned,
    the crowd slobbering for his demise.
    Preacher and followers begin bible hymn
    about fools not so very swift or wise.

    There dancing spirits surrounding him,
    this dejected and now shaking thief.
    His dark, haunting past now so very dim
    lost of all hope and steeped in grief.

    Beelzebub stands there with wicked grin,
    to welcome home the coming of the fruits.
    His harvest dark and heaped over in sin,
    crowd crying to see his swinging boots!

    Soon darkness will bring on its release,
    as stiff rope snaps into a sudden drop.
    Death shall make this lost soul cease,
    when his life and time will forever stop!

    Gallows have done their cheering deed,
    crowd lurches forth in a collective swoon.
    Beelzebub, gathers the fruit of his seed
    and gathers the crowd's dark joy as a boon!

    Robert J. Lindley, 04-24-2015

    Note: Man's judgment may be a necessary evil but the actions engaged in by
    those that obeyed the carnal desires, lusts and temptations of evil are a sweet harvest for HE that gathers his fruit with a wicked grin...

    Second note: Such truth as expressed in this poem turns people off(even fellow poets) because they do not want to face the truth.
    It is not PC to face truth head on and deal with it in todays world.
    Such attitude of not truly plugging the "holes" is how a ship sinks.
    Yet perhaps thats the hidden agenda... Modern culture demands abandonment of moral principles..

    Like it or not Christian morality is under severe attack.

    Reality Bites

    Off to my right stands damnation
    a road once I raced headlong
    seeking every pleasurable sensation
    ALL was a dance and a happy song!

    Death, hell was an eternity away
    smashing every stone was a deed
    let any future life skip or pay
    fruit ate from my every dark seed!

    Behind me was an old dirty road
    ahead lay glory in rapt attention
    my soul was what I freely sold
    excuses, were such an easy invention!

    The NOW came knocking one fine day
    landing a swift kick to my face
    hurt came on board with no delay
    suddenly I was dead last in the race!

    Waking up suddenly life was pain
    happy go lucky quickly ran away
    deep blues almost ran me insane
    jolly band stops, you going to pay!

    Black Snake Squirmed Out Of My Head


    I wrote two poems, one up one down
    third one ran away never to be found
    Clever words from a simple old mind
    perfect poem, I shall never find
    Writing now to settle my sad blues
    can't dance , have no damn shoes
    No union means no damn union dues
    saw the reruns but it was old news
    Clever, sometimes clever as a fox
    play a mean fiddle and old jukebox
    Sanity is my only sought after fee
    mind a rusty 'ole box, I have no key
    Words they come on fast and low
    Found paradise, too damn lazy to go

    Wrote two short poems this very day
    found my heart had so little to say
    Black snake squirmed out of my head
    landed right there on my antique bed
    Gave me a vicious look, go to hell
    I shot back, you I can easily sell
    Grabbed the critter by its long tail
    put it in a box sent it in the mail
    Note to my editor said, here is a treat
    reach in quick, grab something sweet
    If only that damn third poem was found
    can not see it but can hear the sound
    Little screams echoing across the room
    caution ahead, enter to find your doom

    No Principle Stands Alone

    Stand tall with blade worn openly for all to see
    give kindness when its richly due
    The true worth is not in the height of a tree
    rather it is in the fruits it bears that we use

    Never yield to complacency or fear of condemnation
    instead act in a way that shows honor rightly obeyed
    Seek not false and ever so hollow admiration
    rather pursue a righteous foundation firmly laid.

    Do that and hope will hold you to a true course
    despite the stony path you must then tread
    Fear not the troubles the fools heartily endorse
    Life will reward your honor greatly instead

    Two things a man should never dare to lose
    Precious Hope and the Courage to fight to choose

    This World Reeks In Deep Decay


    For what we know will stand,
    For how we grow as decent men,
    Hold to Godly principles dear.
    Stand your ground, do not fear!
    This dark day shall one day pass,
    Best to seek out truth in mass.
    This world reeks in deep decay,
    Innocence the price we must pay!

    Fear not the threats of dread,
    hope exists for all not dead.
    Listen to wisdom when it is sent,
    follow a true heart's intent.

    Yet again heed the coming call,
    Warning of evils, do not fall,
    Sell your soul not for false gain
    for judgment shall come yet again.
    Deny false comfort and lazy ease,
    seek not jaded fools to please.
    Expect punishment for your good,
    hold true knowing well you should.

    Climb each mountain with zeal,
    for faith is what is truly real.
    Blessings come as your just reward
    forgive all, mercy is not so hard!

    A dark one for the kiddies to think about.. -Tyr



    So Fleet, The Monster's Retreat


    It manifested a dark form surprising
    great fear in my heart thus rising
    Resting against the mirror stand
    ghastly in color, with deformed hand
    Something bad did then seem amiss
    this creature strayed from the abyss
    Invading my secluded and small room
    reeking of vilest stench and doom
    I flinched back as it read my mind
    probing with deceit and curses unkind
    Curses, the accusations of its soul
    pain inflicted was real, took a toll
    My desire was to fall down and cry
    Yet I firmly stood not knowing why
    Closer it eased to touch my face
    heart almost burst as it did so race
    Suddenly light charged into the scene
    brightness showed a face so very mean
    Next a cry as light touched its skin
    gone in a flash, never seen again
    I fell back sick and soaked in fear
    its darkness still felt far too near
    All lights I then swiftly turned on
    just to make sure the beast had gone
    There where it stood was a black spot
    clean it up then I would dare not
    Next morn the spot was glowing there
    A reminder of the night's ghostly scare

    The Darkness Comes, Revelation Part One



    The sky opened to a new cascade
    a revolution in discord came down
    Crystals shattered then remade
    all cried, even the jolly clown

    A great sword cut all the land
    spirits rush forth in dark display
    Only the strong took a stand
    so easily were they swept away

    What difference was death and life
    earth had no meaningful replies
    Each cut with twist of the knife
    sent more pain before victim dies

    Revelation,time had now brought on
    this blackness seeped in sin
    Pain lay under every unturned stone
    cursed , were the souls of men

    Angel of vengeance then rode forth
    fire blazing from his dark eyes
    This the prophecy of the far North
    of plagues falling from the skies

    Dying swiftly became a new relief
    disease came forth in each wave
    Useless were these pagan beliefs
    only sweet death now could save

    Yet far worse loomed just ahead
    greater misery on a train was there
    Such that was better off to be dead
    torment spread and ruled everywhere

    Down roaring tracks the evil a'coming
    echoes sounded of the deepest of doom
    Futile those that set out a'running
    for darkness found every known room

    Robert Lindley
    August, 1989

    note: Another poem from my private journal.

    Five Dark Devils

    The last was deeper than the first
    he for blood always ravenously thirst
    Every cry was for innocent to die
    demanded I give it my best try

    The fourth came in like a lion
    swore my soul was then dyin'
    Promised relief if I but retreat
    into his cold, dark cave to eat

    Third was as slippery as an eel
    his every dark sin I would feel
    When I refused his every dark wish
    made me eat raw meat from a dish

    Second, a dancing ghost was he
    forced me to laugh and lie by three
    Every morn my head felt like lead
    as he tossed me out of my bed

    First was worst of the bad lot
    burned my heart and all I got
    Stayed until he was forced out
    left with a boom and mighty shout

    Five dark devils did torture me
    each kept me from living free
    All eventually had to fly on away
    for light told them not to stay

    No More Stones


    No more stones,my dinner plate is full
    my teeth broken on that hardened heart
    Broken,the heavy chain you loved to pull
    dead,the horse that dragged your evil cart

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more rocks, I am much wiser and older
    I see pitch black upon your angel wings
    I need a sweet companion just to hold her
    with fiery spirit that makes my soul sing

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more cuts, the knife is getting dull
    waves of blues eat deep into my brain
    Holes you drilled into my sleeping skull
    birth dark echoes with each aching pain

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more stabs, the kind you do so well
    secrets we shared call out but I refuse
    Tender were kisses and sweet your smell
    now darkness looms,one I did not choose

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more cries,cries for your sweet love
    now fire burns hot,in this living Hell
    Mercy arrived today,came from far above
    told me,see her as dust in a dry well

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more shouts,soft words decorating you
    songs I wrote,in praise of your romance
    Foolish me,gave you more than your due
    wrapped in love,so deep in a blind trance

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    No more stones,my dinner plate is full
    my teeth broken on that hardened heart
    Broken,the heavy chain you loved to pull
    dead,the horse that dragged your evil cart

    Whisper softly to me again as you fade
    from this damn misery- meal that you made

    Note: Rewrite from memory of a poem my ex-wife burned decades ago.

    Why Ever Look Back For You Anymore


    Lost my echo in that deep,dark cave
    what life could I ever dare to save
    Sounds of memories your deceit did drown
    clouds of laughs thrown at your clown

    The black shadow that you gaily cast
    my bleak ship sailing at half-mast
    Why ever look back for you anymore
    evil laugh,then you closed the door

    Time eased my heart's massive pain
    your image left the greatest stain
    Songs we both heard,sang and loved
    on a high cliff but then you shoved
    Echo came back to torment me today
    bringing tears of when you raced away

    Fantastic tales of how great we once loved
    I jumped darling,even before you shoved!

    Death of My Father

    Sunrise seen from hospital window view
    his body wasting away nearby
    Nothing! Nothing, I could ever do
    death was coming and I knew not the why

    Strong man lay there in misery and pain
    cancer eating away his precious life
    Teenage son about to go completely insane
    coming fate was just too damn much strife

    Darkness played deep in that small room
    of what use speed, strength and skill
    Against cancer and its mad racing doom
    reality was, it is soon going to kill

    Now those past memories savagely haunts
    with mornings of morbidly saddened blues
    After nights of dark spirits giving taunts
    pray no others walk in these tired, sad shoes!


    Robert J. Lindley

    Note: I was 15 and spent 72/96 hour shifts in hospital with my dad as he was dying with cancer.
    My brother Ricky and I stayed there during the weekdays and mom came for weekends.
    Those 4 months felt like 40 years! I could do nothing to stop what was coming.I vowed then to make
    somebody pay for this and it turned out to be me that I punished.
    Here I am 46 years later and still see this as the greatest test of my soul ever. Also I see how
    it changed me forever.
    My dad was sent home to die after his operation. He lasted 6 times longer than they said he would.
    Tough as nails was he.
    I wrote that poem at age 35, 20 years after his passing.
    I think of my dad every day, every day...... Sixty-one and still miss him...

    Weather Colloquy


    I have seen the storm-
    cometh with angry tones
    steady in its wrath
    dropping massive hail stones

    I have seen the sky-
    wet earth to its core
    steady with its rain
    pelting down forever more

    I have felt the hot sun-
    naked fire upon my back
    steady with its heat
    so fierce was its attack

    I have endured the cold-
    winter blasting all about
    steading with its ice
    wind gusts with mighty shout

    I embraced the Spring-
    soothing weather to me
    steady with its renewals
    of birds, flowers and trees
