    Lost And Too Blind To Ever Again See



    We gaily danced the long night away,
    images emerged of kisses deep,
    Brilliance songs our love did convey,
    a joy that makes hearts weep.

    Happiness flew about for a little while,
    as life granted heavenly bliss,
    Walking upon Love's golden mile,
    our turn somehow we did miss.

    We forgot to hold on so very tight,
    with words of love not spoken,
    Soon we parted without a fight,
    both our souls split and broken.

    Alas, healing was simply not to be,
    love had abandoned it's thrill,
    Lost and too blind to ever again see,
    saving light upon Romance hill.

    This is my answer to a group exerting all their power against me at my poetry site. Seems my open and honest comments on blogs and in my poems there has ruffled a few feathers and now they play some games.-Tyr
    Posting it here first and there later.

    I Will Write Words That Eat Out Of My Darkened Soul



    I'll not write my poetry with dull sanctioned pen
    pay the price with my spirit like other men,
    tribute to uniform codes and enslaved dreams
    a drone in other people's evil scheming schemes.

    I'll not conform to the deadening dry and the dull
    a rotted seed wedded to a buried and dying hull,
    never one to eat off another man's dinner plate
    desiring another path and a kinder poetry mate.

    I will walk a road traveled by the rebellious few
    a shadowy trail full of spirit and wrapped in blue,
    where great apples eat of the tree they hang to die
    a jealous mystery, the heart of which refuses to cry.

    I will write words that eat out of my darkened soul
    wrapped in sweet kindness and glory from the whole,
    hearts's love and inspiration dredged from the deep
    singing lamentation from the beast that can not weep.

    Cut me fast, bleed me down to my aching old bones
    curse me out, slay me with righteous angered tones,
    burn my spirit with flames of jealous, maddened rage
    stomped me to death and enslave my muse , my old sage.

    I'll not write my poetry with dull sanctioned pen
    pay the price with my spirit like other men,
    tribute to uniform codes and enslaved dreams
    a drone in other people's evil scheming schemes.

    Robert J. Lindley

    Note: Do not blame me , my muse has hounded me to write this piece for over
    four months now. I yielded only to spiritual torment and enlightened demands.
    If I am to be forced to conform by the power of the ruling class I will wage war
    until the sky erodes, the mountains fall and the darkest devil dares to emerge to
    try to slay us all.
    Qui mortuus capto opus salutem tribuet .
    Victoria vadit ad Victor !

    Yes, an amazing talent and one to be noticed.


    The Chronicle of the Versemaker

    1818
    He hears with his ear, used to do it,
    A whistle;
    He marks, by expiration lurid,
    The scripts;
    Then reads to people, very busy,
    His soap;
    Then prints – and into waves of Lethe –
    Plop!

    He wrote primarily in lyrical poetry but had started writing in prose last few years of his life.
    Perhaps the top Russian poetry writer of his era or even any era as many would declare!
    I have read perhaps a dozen or more of his poems. Always greatly admired his fantastic talent. -Tyr

    It may be interesting to you that Pushkin's language became Russian literary standard. He wrote not only poems, but literary novels too.

    Yes, I knew about the novels but my interest lies primarily in poetry.
    Tons of great Russian literature thats not been translated, I suspect Russian poetry too that has not been translated into English.-Tyr

    It's a great pity that nowadays the majority of children do not read as much as we did in their ages. And they must be pushed and forced to not to become ignorant, narrow minded and one-dimensional. I compare nowadays school program and that of my time and I am really disappointed. Thanks to Lord that I have a home library of hundreds volumes, collected for dozens years. It was a great help to give an additional "home education" to my children and grand children. Besides, I forced I forced them to attend musical school. My son and my daughter are already grateful for this. Grand children are not yet. The time has not come yet.

    Hold My Loving Hand Gently In Your Hand



    Hold my loving hand gently in your hand
    as refreshing rain upon parched land,
    may fate grant our future plan-
    A life thus joined to bring great relief,
    in a gift granted by faith in God and belief!

    As I race within our fast moving dance,
    eternal love granted sets this deep romance-
    Among our many blessed treasures,
    is our son we love bringing such pleasure!

    Miracle Salvos Of Thunder's Applause


    Above the famished sky
    Hungry for the death of sorrow
    desperate prayer uttered begging to die,
    A storm in which clouds clash and borrow
    lightning to burn deep dark regret
    of life and hope our souls must forget-
    Miracle salvos of thunder's applause
    seals the deal and plunders precious cause,
    as two defeated hearts ask why!

    No airy spirits dare to intervene,
    upon the mystic storm and lost love scene!

    Estrella No Perdona

    I can not change your cold heart,
    Or force you to again lovingly speak
    Why your choice is we remain apart.
    That again, our love I dearly seek:
    I can not change your cold heart!

    I can not change your cold heart;
    Nor storm the many castles you build.
    Despite my sad pleas for another start,
    you hating me, refuse to ever yield,
    I can not change your cold heart.

    I can not change your cold heart;
    Change your mind, if only I ever could,
    forever hold you and never part!
    Rejoin our love by any sacrifice I would
    I can not change your cold heart.

    I can not change your cold heart,
    Or remove that hate in your dark eyes:
    Behind that stare awaits a poison dart,
    to fling at me based upon many lies;
    I can not change your cold heart.

    Awaiting The Great Mists Of Transcending Time



    The last day of memories sits in spectacular splendor
    awaiting the great mists of transcending time
    Sailing along on dancing waves of love soft and tender
    followed by loud echoing flames of the sublime

    Deep into the many wide valleys of mystical moonbeams
    rests soft bundles awaiting the longing burn
    Glorious flower meadows banked by fast running streams
    devoid of past cutting agonies our hearts spurn

    Streams flowing out in pleasing songs of romantic past
    with gentle kissed touches so rapidly hurled
    Proof of unending Love wrapped in grace meant to last
    blessings given lovers faithful in this world

    The last day of memories sits in spectacular splendor
    awaiting the great mists of transcending time
    Sailing along on dancing waves of love soft and tender
    followed by loud echoing flames of the sublime

    Shining Gods Of Poisoned Seas

    How utterly useless are the sincere Pleas
    to the shining Gods of poisoned seas
    Words sent forth on a great ray of Hope
    find blank images in an empty scope
    Longings so in tune to vanities of Man
    greed and lusts in each wishful plan
    Dark desires in each and every Request
    selfish wants for only the very best

    How vain are man's deepest dark Desires
    evil wrapped in armor in raging fires
    Deeds hidden from the scourging of Light
    oft carried out by messengers at night
    Evil that lingers as it eats the Host
    preparing the victim for coming roast
    Tortured cries that will only this Seal
    sad food for a famished beast's meal

    How utterly useless are the sincere Pleas
    to the shining Gods of poisoned seas!

    Gone, Our Days Dancing In The Splashing Rain


    As this our time retreats into faded thought
    and our nights of love become a pain
    We can both see that with a dear price bought
    our days dancing in the splashing rain
    Should we again find our way into love's realm
    tempest breaking the greatest storm apart
    Ship on truest course with heart at the helm
    finding treasures not seen on any chart

    When hope, our only saving grace fell very far
    did we regret the touch of our lips then
    Or invite in the misery creating this deep scar
    thus viewing all our love passion as sin
    What of the sorrow that chills us both so deep
    deadly words that slash with no remorse
    Nay, the damnation and costs make us both weep
    each crying out for a much happier course

    Has this time sealed our doom and failed pride
    a journey based upon mistakes and lies
    Drowning as we fail to cross darkness so wide
    death under black waters with broken ties
    Never reaching up for that romance saving hand
    content to lick and eat our own pride
    Saddest traveler into desolation's blackest land
    moaning out regret as we enjoy the ride

    Will our stubbornness give birth to great defeat
    a testament to anger's futile arrogance
    A nasty meal we each still find begging to eat
    no victory in foolishly killing romance

    To Hold Your Heart Out

    Those things which a mind will not forgive
    burn like a hot coal in tender hands
    Such hate allows not a decent Soul to live *------- (finality)
    where darkness eats into fertile lands

    Ash and soot cling to the fireplace stack
    soothing heat in each night's slow burn
    Rushing waters flood the gulleys out back *------- (change)
    where Fall drops leaves and colors turn

    Once your sweet lips were coldly rejected
    a sad mistake caused by grievous lies
    Desperate because kind heart was neglected *------- (memories)
    tears fell like rain from stormy skies

    Yet truth came to give its sweet release
    when requested to hold your heart out
    Your misery grew great and would not cease *------- ( truth)
    the unforgivable words you did shout

    Those things which a mind will not forgive
    burn like a hot coal in tender hands
    Such hate allows not a decent Soul to live *-------(finality)
    where darkness eats into fertile lands

    I just had to write tonight, so went back in mind and memory to a trip I actually took long ago. A trip that saved me..
    Hope you may enjoy this poem..-Tyr

    I Waded Meadows And Cool Flowing Streams


    Across the valley I journeyed far
    Upon my heart(my spirit soared in dreams!)
    Underneath the glowing day-bright star,
    I waded meadows and cool flowing streams.

    Beauty spoke from this shining land,
    of sky, flowers, birds and bees
    Deeper still in the tall black oak stand
    and greater still, Nature guided me.
    A wanderer in its glory so magnificently set
    Painted with critters and deep mysteries
    amazing wonders caught in its far flung net
    Nature's wonders amassed throughout histories!

    Across the valley I journeyed far
    Upon my heart(my spirit soared in dreams!)
    Underneath the glowing day-bright star,
    I waded meadows and cool flowing streams.
