    A Shining Light To Those Still Lost


    In that moment, between day and night
    the time you may choose to sacrifice
    your own spirit, heart, soul or mind
    Goodness breaks out with the light
    far more than enough just to suffice
    seeing past the apathy of the blind!

    That moment, you choose to freely give
    greatness be it very large or small
    wraps you in a magic, fleeting embrace
    Perhaps even daring to allow to live
    momentary giant that stands so tall
    great credit to life and human race!

    That moment, the blessing of Love
    splendor of giving at great cost
    seals great reward to all it reaches
    Shall be praised, recorded from above
    a shining Light to those still lost
    example of true Love that teaches!

    Hope Cooks Its Morning Meal



    Dark shadows of death it enshrouds,
    roaring lightning in storming clouds
    Flames it destroys as it dares burn
    Hope lives and truly enjoys its turn

    Sunset may cloak beauty of the hills
    long before creeping dawn-time chills
    Yet its mercy screams out very loud
    candlelight given unto good and proud

    Deep in morn's lingering misty fogs
    echoes songs of glistening waking frogs
    Far above the ancient nighttime croaks
    angels remove earthly blinding cloaks

    At the head of the cool, gurgling brooks
    Hope sits to eat lively, the meal it cooks!

    Note: A sonnet written to ease hearts pain
    and shatter the slow purple haze.

    Darkness Devours Another Soul
    (Tenebris deuorat supervenit alia anima)


    Deep into his soul, he drank the bitterest brew
    reeking of pain and spilled blood in sad wine.
    All went so well with this black torturing stew
    heartaches and terror fruits now so very fine!

    Past sins ripped his heart into pieces of regret
    his miseries birthed nothing that changed life.
    Prayers given failed and changed nothing yet
    storms ate his soul and cast forth future strife!

    Laments of crying pain stirred no hearing soul
    As the great monster sat for a satisfying feast.
    Stopping deep and savage hurt was the only goal
    slaying the heart of the massive destroying beast!

    Deep into his soul, he drank the bitterest brew
    reeking of pain and spilled blood in sad wine.
    All went so well with this black torturing stew
    heartaches and terrors fruits now so very fine!

    The Bloom Off The Flower,The Dying Rose



    Old,blind and very ill,they wait to die
    Growing cold with chill they sadly lie
    Ravages of Time eats away heart and might
    Until sunny day becomes a darkened night

    In this world Time brings on that spirit
    Savaging body,so silent we never hear it
    Broken down,resting in an old folk's home
    Sad dying souls never again to ever roam

    As Death arrives there is no ringing bell
    only the one way trip,to Heaven or Hell
    Or the trip into a dark and long dirt nap
    buried deep into the grave's earthen trap

    What was once singing,love and solid gold
    now is sin's judgment on these dying old
    The bloom off the flower,the dying rose
    cries all face it,venturing where it goes!

    Robert J. Lindley, 06-18-2015

    She Was Twenty-One And Sexy As Hell



    She was twenty-one and sexy as hell
    her curves rang my lusting bell.
    Hair that hung to her slim waist,
    her lips so pretty I wanted a taste!

    Legs that promised a higher delight
    girl I desired every single night.
    Eyes that shouted out loving blue,
    just promising hot nights with you!

    Sweet voice that shouted sexy is me
    I the willing flower,you are my bee.
    That walk,her hips swinging in rhyme,
    caused me to promise her all my time!

    First night my eager mind was blown
    that body slew me when it was shown.
    She then taught me I needed much more,
    a big job but she was up to the chore!

    Second night,I just barely could move
    she had worn out my mightiest groove.
    Delights that sear my mind even today,
    a hot baby and more I dare not say!

    She was twenty-one and sexy as hell
    her curves rang my lusting bell.
    Hair that hung to her slim waist,
    her lips so pretty I wanted a taste!

    Robert J. Lindley

    Note: Written long ago about a hot gal
    I have never forgotten and could never forget
    Yes, she was one of those! She moved to Cali, I lost track
    of her after that..

    Unfortunately I am not sure that such a poetry is of demand nowadays. And it is a pity.

    A Look In

    For all I ever once was
    all I ever want to be
    fleeting mists
    and rising fogs in morn
    sunset views triumphant;
    rest deep inside of me
    shadows of a spirit
    cold, stark in reality.

    Love Request Denied Again

    All that I once so dearly loved,
    Sweet joys blessedly known;
    Crashed when push came to shove,
    Poor fair now that you are gone!

    Pain rips the cool from the winds,
    Great sorrows fill my heart,
    Once we were lovers, now it ends
    As I pray for another start!

    An arm offered for your sweet kiss:
    You refused with a locked gate,
    All of you is what I dearly miss
    and cry because now you hate!

    I begged for compassion yet again,
    Your heart laughed with glee;
    Have no desire to only be a friend,
    you scoff at my tortured plea!

    Pain rips the cool from the winds,
    Great sorrows fill my heart,
    Once we were lovers, now it ends
    As I pray for another start!

    Restored Was His Heart, Soul And Might
    (The Woodsman)


    Hollow place in the woods most deep,
    now unmolested by man or by beast.
    Reserved for a wise visitor's return,
    a promise he swore one day to keep,
    when starry night holds a big feast!

    Life called the woodsman far away,
    into a war he was so sadly cast.
    He simply had rushed to take his turn,
    sacred duty in life he had to pay,
    while praying it not to be his last.

    Shell and shock had laid him so low,
    laying in a hospital back East.
    That vow was not forgotten by he,
    April, time came for him there to go,
    to partake in a moonlight feast!

    Arriving back there with setting sun,
    he trekked into forest all alone.
    Returning king was this brave man,
    a true woodsman and Nature's son,
    above him glory of moonlight shone.

    Found again the hollow so very deep,
    his throne nestled, cozy and fine.
    Moonlight and Nature did so conspire,
    as he laid down to peacefully sleep,
    to ease his tired and troubled mind!

    Waking with the soft, wet morning dew,
    this king greeted Nature and the day.
    Smile that gave all there such delight,
    so his life danced and began again anew,
    restored was his heart, soul and might!

    A Cry For Great Relief


    Can not write about lost hope just now
    when cheer meets me with morning sun
    Rays of applause force me to take a bow
    stiffen my resolve and not dare to run
    What of the coming night screams made
    or heart's pain from an untimely death
    Have given all, nothing left to trade
    as solemn grief demands my last breath

    Nay! Hope rests on distant fairest hill
    celebration just waiting for my life
    Testament to sacred faith and hope's will
    no cuts from this overused broken knife
    Spirit awaits another gift Heaven sent
    medicine for the sad and wailing heart
    All earthly treasures given but not spent
    new life granted for another blessed start

    One Hope, cast into the hot molding flames
    fire created to burn away eating pain
    All love and joys arriving with new names
    rebirth of the Soul from the dark stain

    "I WRITE TO SURVIVE"

    `I write to hold onto the dreams that my foolish mind once believed
    Could bring me to the light away from the world of the shunned
    That fills me with sorrow yet sucks the breath from my body
    The light from my eyes, my soul from my being to bring others
    The joy that I cry for.

    I write to release the years of hate building within my chest

    That makes me feel like there are bricks upon bricks on my heart
    To help me know that your abandonment will not bring me to me knees
    To help me remember that I can move past your violation
    And one day give a little smile just for my hearts content
    Instead of the worlds greedy nature to make me conform
    I write to get away from the pain
    from his drunken leers
    from her screams
    from their tauntings
    from my own self hate
    I write to release the pain that builds in my chest
    That even now consticts my throat
    As the tears flow
    And the sobs bubble up in my throat

    I write to forget how they make me feel worthless and lost

    That I can't even look myself in the mirror without feeling ashamed
    I write because I can't even lie and say I'm beautiful
    I write because I can't look myself in the eye and say that I love myself
    I write because I have no one to talk to
    I write because I'm scared I'll hurt myself
    I write because I feel lost and alone
    I write for release
    I write to survive the world and my own demons that fight to destroy me
    I need to write to survive or I know that I won't make it out alive`

    I write because I'm scared I'll hurt myself
    I write because I feel lost and alone
    I write for release
    I write to survive the world and my own demons that fight to destroy me
    I need to write to survive or I know that I won't make it out alive`

    A great and deep poem, two lines strike me quite deeply. The last two lines, for I too have written that thought out in several of my poems, its a conclusion of the attacks suffered in our sleep at night IMHO. And not imaginary at all. Although most readers will scoff and think it is.. --Tyr

    Thoughts On The Rail


    I ponder on, this big world, you and I
    Does love ride the hard gusting wind
    Moving its beauty about in a sunny sky
    A journey magnificent but without an end!

    I hope, life will forever hold anew
    Eternity and the joys of sweet dreams
    So often united in the hearts of two
    Wading the brooks and mountain streams!

    May I know, the joys my father found
    The great treasures of his humble life
    Spirit flying fast while earthly bound
    Far above the din of sin and earthly strife!
