    Below is the finished collaboration I did with Brenda, which she posted 5 days ago on our poetry site.
    From its number of reads and comments, it has been very well received and praised on her home page there.
    I just posted it on my home page this morn.--Tyr


    Poet's Notes

    Brenda Chiri and Robert J. Lindley collaboration..
    Date:10/30/2017

    Note- Has been a joy and an honor to compose with you my friend.
    Although my health was not the best, I think this came out very well.
    As your start and questioning verses were a magnificent beginning,
    that gives rise to the very different way men and women deal with relationship/love and first encounters.
    I humbly thank you for your writing with me my friend..


    My Heart Beseeches An Answer, A Collaboration With Brenda Chiri


    (Part One- She Asks)

    I awakened slowly stretching my body, then into a yawn,
    My sleep filled mind remembers you left before the dawn!

    Reaching beside me feeling only coolness of my sheet,
    Alone now the rain outside hits the ground in rhythmic beat.
    The fresh cool breeze whispers through my open window,
    Catching billowing curtains into a back and forth show.

    Caressing like cold dead fingers upon my naked skin,
    Traveling back in time which I know I had let you in.
    Our words danced in tango style, each one held a line
    Glasses raised to our lips, we sipped succulent red wine.

    I awakened slowly stretching my body, then into a yawn,
    My sleep filled mind remembers, you left before the dawn!

    Soon after we laid together, right here on my bed,
    Oh why didn't I stop us then, to turn you away instead?
    Now I lay here thinking, as an ache overwhelms my chest,
    Gave you what I swore no more, gave you my very best.

    Wishing for an answer,on this cold, wet, cloudy day.
    How much more my bleeding heart will have to pay?
    For allowing this intrusion into my life again I did dare,
    Yet I have no answer, of how much or even if you care.

    I awakened slowly stretching my body, then into a yawn,
    My sleep filled mind remembers you left before the dawn!

    (Part Two- He Answers)

    How could I, truly be deserving of such an angel as you
    When fear of that impossibility hit so hard, away I flew!

    My darling, fear not, my racing away has a most just cause
    I woke that morn, your angelic beauty gave me pause.
    For my life had for decades fallen into the deepest dark
    Then my finding you and our first night together left its mark.

    As I looked in the mirror and saw me lying next to you
    My heart almost burst, knowing it was too good to be true.
    There you were, naked and your alluring beauty sublime
    I thought of my past, how if it hurt you, would be a crime!

    How could I, truly be deserving of such an angel as you
    When fear of that impossibility hit so hard, away I flew!

    That morn, I gave my sleeping beauty a sweet kiss
    Trying to grab more of what I would soon so dearly miss.
    For I could not bear to bring into your sweet life my pains
    Or darkness of the dreams emerging from my past stains!

    For you see, long ago, for another beauty I once shot a man
    I was so crazy in love and thought that was a great plan.
    Then our night, soft kisses restored, your gentle touch fired me up
    I found my saving paradise, complete with its full golden cup!

    How could I, truly be deserving of such an angel as you
    When fear of that impossibility hit so hard, away I flew!
