    Default New poem a deep and rewarding collaboration with Michael P. Clark and Teppo Gren

    Remembered In Thy Full Bloom,Collaboration by Robert J Lindley, Teppo Gren and Michael P Clark

    Remembered In Thy Full Bloom
    A Collaboration By,
    Robert Lindley, Teppo Gren
    and Michael P Clarke.

    Thou art remembered in thy full bloom,
    a rose grown within my garden of life.
    Thou art lost to me and this my doom,
    Gone the tender love of my precious wife.

    Ill wind had blown, poisoned arrows of fate,
    love lost, ever I cry, we reunite.
    Tho', should such be only at Heaven's gate,
    illuminated, in true love's precious flight.

    Thine effect so lives in my lonesome cast
    as I meander in my ruthless path,
    in darkened dust of my ill-fated past,
    dying to break free from this endless wrath.

    Yet memories sighs they recall our love,
    when we did caress love's fiery desires.
    In wondrous passions our hearts flew above,
    Thou art memories ghost, kindling love's fires.

    Pray I, your dream-winds soft and fair tonight,
    eager heart leaps to melt in beauty's glows.
    With yellow-moon kisses, all could be right,
    our love's truth, written in destiny's scrolls.

    As lonely spirits found love's true accord,
    thy gentle soul caressed my heart with joy.
    It was thy gracious beauty I adored,
    for endless days thy soft caress enjoy.

    Thou comest beloved, love for to bring,
    thy wondrous beauty, darkness doth dispel.
    In divinity thy heart it doth sing,
    one moment of joy my heart did foretell.

    Within each heart's spirit, desire to come
    pray future treasures that announce their glow.
    Thy touch, paradise in love's kingdom,
    may we with grace, beg our romance to grow.

    The light of life returned from dust to dust
    be it not my destiny to abide,
    and side with mortal ways in life unjust,
    with a forlorn dream to be by my side.

    Now back to the terror of my dark night,
    once more into the pits of hell I fall.
    Despair and sorrow darken God's bright light,
    Deaths promised joys shall come, I hear death call.

    Pray true, warmth and true color to the rose,
    return pure gleam that sent my heart to thee.
    Wherein all time, forever thee I chose,
    thou art ripest flower, I thy lone bee.

    Rejoice in death to treasure thine embrace
    as end is nigh, with courage to depart.
    A halo uncovers thy beauty's grace
    to cast celestial light, and mend my heart.

    And now doth come my end, I see death's light,
    death doth touch my heart, now eternal love.
    My beloved, I see thee shining bright,
    I now praise death as I ascend above.

    As my life's last shadow so swiftly falls,
    pray I, this aching soul hears thy dear voice.
    Ancient echoes whisper love words, thy calls,
    now dear wife, I fly forth, your love my choice.

    In heaven‘s garden thy rose blooms in trine,
    as love’s eternal bond in sacred love
    is cast beyond the faith of God’s design,
    and prayers of truth are whispered up above.

    Robert Lindley,Teppo Gren,
    and Michael P Clarke.

    Notes:

    This poem was written to try and find the sadness of a man lost in deep despair. His only escape are those small moments when his memories sigh his beloved to him. He is ready to welcome death so he can be with and hold his beloved again. Death will be a release.


    I want to thank Micheal and Teppo, for the great pleasure it has been to
    engage in this three way collaboration! Both for giving me such exquisite verses to write to and with...
    I know this poem is long and took us a long time to complete, but to me it is well worth it .
    As I could not be happier or any more proud of what our combined efforts have thus created.
    I hope this fine poem gifts and pleases those that read it.. For such is the reward that any poet should hope for.
    Mike and Teppo, my good friends may God bless you both..

    My new collaboration with my friend, Silent One. This is written in the ---free verse--- poetry form.
    Not my usual rhyme. As he invited me to write with him and this is the form he chose.
    I wanted a much longer version , he wanted shorter version , so we went with the shorter poem. Turn out very well, IMHO.-TYR




    Recollections Of A Condemned Man - Collaboration with Silent One

    178 months, 129940 hours,
    now only 10 minutes remain.
    Sitting in cold eerie darkness,
    he observes the rhythm of water drops,
    slowly wipes away streams of sweat
    with his withered trembling hands.

    That aching fear, gnawing in his fevered brain,
    spasms of fear demanding flight
    yet none to be had,
    his inner soul asking why he had lost his way
    why had his sad life come to this?
    What lay in the caverns of darkness ahead!

    Wardens pace up and down like wolves,
    stopping to stare with compassion less eyes - smirking.
    Waiting for the clock to chimes 12 times,
    and to shout, 'dead man walking.'
    He sits savoring every last breath,
    rapidly repenting for all his past mistakes,
    deep inside he knows its too late for regrets.
    All his apologies fall upon deaf ears.

    Flashes past seen, his crimes, girls and drugs, what a blast!
    Pretty girls, each taking a slice, of his hoarded treasures
    and he indulging in theirs with total abandonment.
    O' glorious were those dead and ancient days!
    Then reality came back to bite and bite hard,
    saying, " such foolishness was a dream and soon comes Death"!
    Too hard to bear such truth, he rushes back into fleeting dreams.

    Suddenly cold, very cold he feels the deafening bleakness!
    Sees the finality in the concrete and iron bars holding him.
    Cries silently, what he wouldn't give for another day,
    another dawn out in sunshine and fresh air!
    Then reality and Fate both spoke to him saying,
    " Tho' you a doomed man, meet thy death as a brave one."

    Each heart beat beats with each ticking second.
    He clutches his worn bible, readying himself for what lies ahead,
    anxiously contemplating if he is worthy of redemption.
    Rocking back and forth, unable to control floods of tears,
    his thoughts are disturbed with a truncheon rattling his cell's bars,
    and the dreaded final summoning of his name.

    Wolves smile with sly eyes, as the stench of death fills the air.
    Fellow inmates turn their faces to the ground.
    He savours every step, he knows they are his last.
    God is no longer the master of his condemned fate.
    He knows he can't erase the crimes of his past,
    but takes solace, feeling his crimes were not premeditated,
    but now he must face the hypocrisy of his own premature death.

    NOTE: My friend, thank you for writing this collaboration with me. And the help given me, with my free verse. I am not often called upon to write in free verse form but this one I could not resist as it is about a very important and controversial issue. We as poets should endeavor to give light to these controversial subjects and hope to present our readers with information and thought provoking verses that may lead to positive change,IMHO.
