    When Sweet And Soft Morn No Longer Calls Out

    When heart is broken, ocean is drained
    All becomes sad-blue, all life is stained
    Dawn brings epic sorrows, no real relief
    Ripped and torn, shattered some beliefs
    Midnight moon casts down that terrible blue
    Everything sad even shining new.

    When heart is broken, ocean is drained
    All becomes sad-blue, all life is stained

    When sweet and soft morn no longer calls out
    And life cries for hope, with dark mourning shout
    Hours flow forth like whimpering aches of day
    All the green blades of grass seem morbid gray
    Hurt promises to let other shoe drop
    And mind wonders shall this agony stop.

    Robert J, Lindley, 9-14-2022
    Sonnet

    Born from a poet's heart that has seen too much sorrow and loss.
    Dedicated to those lost. And to my dear friend Connie Marcum.
    I truly think she would have loved this one.
    As she saw the merits in sad, dark and truth in life should be represented in poetry.

    So strangely pungent the circling winds
    In distant valleys, baying of the hounds-
    I fear what that hideous sign portends.
    Now so afraid, through weeping years I trod
    Yet pushed, ever onward, I dare tread
    My shield, simply faith in Light and my God
    And bushels of truth, to me, life has fed
    I pray for salvation of divine light
    Blessed ending of this courageous flight.

    Haven't heard from Robert since mid-September. He also stopped posting on the poetry site that he belonged to. No response from an email to what he has on record but can't know for sure if that is still used or not.

    His brother and his wife passing took it's toll on him, I know that from msg'ing with him. I just hope and pray that he is fine and just taking a long break. He's had me concerned for a few months now.

    Under Golden Moonlight, The Monster Met Its Match


    Having recuperated the hero,
    With sword drawn cut the massive monster deep
    Saying to the beast, " that one is for keeps "
    As flowing blood spilled like a hard rain
    Hero called out, " now don't you go to sleep"
    No hurting pain my friend, no newfound gain
    The beast then stood up, and growled out a scream
    Are you puny man a ghost or bad dream
    Hero replying, feels like a bad dream
    At that moment the cut monster slashed out
    But he was slow hero stepped about
    Plunged his sharp saber in even deeper
    He then cut off the monster's massive head
    Watch as its body fell and bled bloody red.

    Reprieve, A Return From Ashes And Dust

    When heart dares to live again seek
    Hope comes gifting a little peek
    Over rainbow and a bit beyond
    Out far past shores of ones' small pond
    Beyond mountains found in our dreams
    Beyond greed and our worldly schemes
    A return from ashes and dust
    Finding happiness is a must
    For there is no life without joy
    Returning, one must this employ
    Courage to risk falling apart
    So hard to repair broken heart
    Dawn cries out, rise to love renew
    Others have done that, so can you!

    Robert J. Lindley, 7-12-2022
    Sonnet

    Note:
    Riverbank, watching waters flow
    Living with aching pains in tow
    Golden moon above shining down
    Heaven above, its glowing gown
    I ask, Lord what is left of me
    Am I truly this fallen tree
    Then heard is a clear booming shout
    Open your eyes, look all about
    Again strive to see, light is free
    You do have a true friend in me.

    What Lies In The Betwixt And The Between

    What lies in the betwixt and the between
    Heaven and hell, this world's darkest of scenes
    Mankind wallows in the deepest of sin
    Parades in blackest deeds, from early teens
    Dare we to such foul actions then decry
    Whilst our own deep darkness we seek to hide
    As we walk under the malevolent moon
    Into a land devoid, absent of sky
    From this dastardly dream, this nightmare I woke
    My legs still broken, my tongue cut off
    And a whisper carried from far away
    Suffer some more, for this curse is no joke.

    As my mind then realize I was fast asleep.
    I thought something learned was very deep.

    Are We To Believe Lies Dark World Has Told

    When I hope for goodness to always win,
    Ride my old horse well before break of dawn,
    While nature gifts its beauty of a fawn
    Am I to be chastised for my sins
    " Doth our God his blessed rewards withhold" ?
    Mother sky sends its hardest lightning blasts
    Shining glory its gleaming arrives at last
    Dare we not with this exposure be sold
    Can the written word its powers yet give
    As poet or a sane man declares
    Is it not Holy of Heaven that cares?
    Are we not to love life and thus we live.

    Am I now just a vessel too damn old?
    Are we to believe lies dark world has told?

    Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet 6-20-2023

    Born With Stone-Chips In My Ancient Viking Blood


    I stand against the world and its most evil wrongs
    Born with stone-chips in my ancient Viking blood
    My greatest heroes immortalized in great songs
    As they eliminated those of barbaric crude
    All had magical shields and a flaming hot sword
    Words given to them by higher power beings
    Enough victorious battles as not to be bored
    And illumination from Heaven for their seeing
    Achilles hero, was one of greater fable fame
    His life was destined to die as a brave man
    All of this world has now learned his noted name
    So many more heroes had such amazing plans
    Life is so massive, history tells not the all
    Vast armies of such evil dastardly ruffians
    Marched forth to innocent people maim and kill
    Only to be stopped by brave feats of Christians.

    Robert J. Lindley, 6-20-2023

    Whispering Shadows Are Waltzing To That Undulating Beat

    Moon by day is a faintly cast glow, a poetic dance
    If Love's hand in play, it is a fabulous gold romance
    Spinning round the sky for the audience's delicious glee
    Oh, my lover that is the beauty for both you and me
    As we enjoy and watch the parade in Mother sky
    Yet quite oft a message resides within asking the why
    Whispering shadows are waltzing to that undulating beat
    As humanity rejoices in finding new ways to cheat
    Alas! There always is a very steep-set price to pay
    For Heaven always has the final, truer, righteous say
    Our Lord rejoices when we heed those biblical held laws
    Else we in deep pain, wake up to deep slashing devil's claws!

    Dare we in blind ignorance walk a sad crooked trail?
    Follow loud, baying hell-hounds right into unholy hell?

    Mother Nature Showed Me Many Styles

    Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles
    Over hill and dale, through the verdant wood
    Saw baby ducks walk by in quacking file
    Did not stop to rest or maybe I should
    Came to the old elm, now looks to be dead
    But the bird nest above looks to be new
    This old mind searching to get rid of dread
    Then I thought I heard a soft voice but who
    Searching about but nothing could I find
    But Mother Nature and her great wonders
    Just enough to appease wondering mind
    I next sat down to that odd thought ponder.

    Yesterday, I walked a thousand miles.
    Mother Nature showed me many styles.
