    Default New Thread, Inspired Pieces That Cry To Be Inked

    Out In The Cold Dark-Lit Street Slow Trembling Raindrops

    It was past midnight and moon took away its glow
    I was dog-drunk, a bit ragged just so you know
    Out in the cold dark-lit street slow trembling raindrops
    Poor soul, crying and begging aching life to stop
    In that raging noise there was rambling and cursing
    Was it heart's moaning vengeance I was nursing
    Who knew, life was hell and getting no damn better
    I read, I read, I read that last goodbye letter
    Stained with falling tears, words- I once loved you
    Darling, too much fighting -I am gone we are through
    Now you go back, be hellraiser you want to be
    And I in my great sorrows, pack tonight to flee.

    It was past midnight and moon took away its glow
    Rain stops, I walked out into spiraling snow
    Heart throbbing, a loss I’d never get used to
    Those deep knife slashing words, " I am gone we are through"
    Then I heard that horn loud honking, tires hard squealing
    Her words had done their dark work, car did the killing.

    It was past midnight and moon took away its glow
    I was dog-drunk, a bit ragged just so you know
    Out in the cold dark-lit street slow trembling raindrops
    Poor soul, crying and begging aching life to stop.

    Car was merely the useful tool.
    Fate and the man's life as lived decided. She the beautiful angel Fate and Death both used.
    The man lost what was dearest to him (his beloved)because he walked deeper into darkness..


    I am now writing the second part of the poem, gives a bit clearer picture-
    almost finished -will post that part in just a short bit..-Tyr

    Out In The Cold Dark-Lit Street Slow Trembling Raindrops,
    Part Two



    And with the poor lost soul's death nobody cared
    Evil world laughed, death and punishment shared
    I his sympathetic best friend, so much more knew
    Fate had shared of his destiny and a clue
    That but for he this tragedy wouldst befall you
    You may have just one chance to avoid your just due
    Telling me one wickedly dark night, how he dies
    On a snowy street nobody hears his last cries
    Then warning me, do not let your anger you rule
    For that and drunkenness is the mark of a fool
    Such said from a dark corner in a haunted house
    As I in shock became like a frightened mouse!

    Dare you ask, why did you not try to your friend save
    Instead, path you chose, let him meet an early grave
    Plead I, Fate had warned you best not interfere
    For if you do that, you both then die, is that clear
    I pondered was there a way to deny Fate
    But fear overtook, I surmised, 'tis his date
    Must delay mine long as I can possible do
    This judgement was called to be right, what say you
    Should man with arrogance defy another's Fate
    Attempt to save him, help keep him from that last gate
    Nay, one must be prudent, one must be truly wise
    Fate and Death dear friends, they come in many a guise.

    Now as years have flown, I watch the street late at night
    Battle I plan, I'll not give up without a fight
    Fate no longer speaks, unless I hear its dark growl
    And death comes closer, I smell its odor most foul…..

    Robert J. Lindley, Part Two-
    ( Fate and Death must wait- courage and prayer may yet their plans
    of my premature demise thus thwart ) a part three-- maybe ????...

    I That Expose Heaving Breast To Harrowing Night
    (BORN FROM NIGHT BATTLES IN YOUTH FIERCELY FOUGHT)



    I that expose heaving breast to harrowing night
    Daring to curse fate, defying its awesome might
    Live in this world as an old and cold lonesome stone
    After midnight face those horrendous beastly moans
    Do so despite broken sword and battered shield
    Fight in dark realms, void of any flowering fields.

    With ancient scarred shield, and heaping acres of hope.
    Scribed with Latin words, proclaiming truth to cope.

    I that have deep, gashing wounds that refuse to heal
    See the busy, blinded crowds wonder how that feels
    Thank our God for that respite born from words of praise
    Summon angels to sing out to him God did raise
    Asking that I may live to see another day.

    With ancient scarred shield, and heaping acres of hope.
    Scribed with Latin words, proclaiming truth to cope.

    I that expose heaving breast to harrowing night
    Daring to curse fate, defying its awesome might
    Live in this world as an old and cold lonesome stone
    After midnight face those horrendous beastly moans
    Do so despite broken sword and battered shield
    Fight in dark realms, void of any flowering fields.

    With ancient scarred shield, and heaping acres of hope.
    Scribed with Latin words, proclaiming truth to cope.

    Note: 12-18-2021
    Found this poem from back in the 90's while researching past
    creations to inspire myself to write today. And I did write today
    but then I decided to go ahead and present this oldie. I hope it
    may inspire somebody and give courage to endure travails this
    dark world may have thrown their way..--RJL

    I Looked To Heaven That Christmas Night

    What shall I do, cast far away my pen
    Should wizen Cheshire cat stop its grin
    Mighty Amazon stop its massive flow
    I paint my Christmas scene devoid of snow
    Nay, surrender poets must never do
    Snap out of it, sling a new verse or two!

    I once a grieving teen, found hope to write
    After the shadow of death took a bite
    And father went beyond the purple veil
    Life fell into abyss, maddening hell
    Years flowed past, a zombie I became
    Fight the world, slay it was my morbid game!

    Just before Christmas, our daughter was born
    I saw life, love , hope- left behind my scorn
    An angel, with blonde hair and sweet blue eyes
    Gift divinely sent from heavenly skies
    That very night, my pen spoke words to me
    A treasure was given, now you are free!

    Renewed the bond and joy again found
    Oath to live, a poet honored bound
    Given was again dearest saving light
    I looked to Heaven that Christmas night
    Nay, surrender poets must never do
    Snap out of it, sling a new verse or two!

    Rhyme, ( Based On A Life As Has Been Lived )
    Dedicated to my beloved daughter
    KaShaundra

    Note:
    These last few days, a gloom had came
    I waded darkness, forgetting my name
    In misery, I drank for sorrow's well
    Was this world still here, I could not tell
    I woke at dawn and saw a shred of light
    Heard a stern voice say, rise thee up to fight
    Give life a chance, are you not yet alive
    Grab a pen and into poetry dive
    Christmas is near, just a few days away
    With that admonishment, I knelt to pray.

    True, Love Can Be A Hard, Hard Road,
    (Tribute to Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers )



    Verse 1
    She was a beauty I found
    Cried how desperately she loved me
    I was then honored bound
    To cast my net and see

    [Refrain]
    I wanted her more, than she did me
    Her game, drown me in her dark sea

    [Chorus]
    True, love can be a hard, hard road
    When one-sided, a heavy , heavy load

    [Verse 2]
    Such a joy, laughter in her eyes
    I was a poor lonely soul
    Her power, took me by surprise
    Romance can exact a dire toll

    [Refrain]
    I wanted a sweeter romance
    She thought love a game of chance

    [Chorus]
    True, love can be a hard, hard road
    When one-sided, a heavy, heavy load

    [Verse 3]
    Midnight came and took her away
    To a place I never knew
    I knew life would make me pay
    Penalties that were overdue

    [Refrain]
    I wanted a sweeter romance
    She thought love a game of chance

    [Chorus]
    True, love can be a hard, hard road
    When one-sided, a heavy, heavy load

    [Chorus]
    True, love can be a hard, hard road
    When one-sided, a heavy, heavy load
