    Those Times, When Memories Are Better Than Gold

    Those times, when memories are better than gold
    there is worth in finding such a lost thought
    Remembering youthful energy, affirms I am now old
    if only distant time could be stored and bought!

    What of a bright future, that may not ever appear
    past loves can hold ever closer future hopes
    Looking back, so often can nullify greatest fear
    no avalanche on memories brightened slopes!

    Let the mind find its begging and desired road
    such soft magic in our memorable day dreams
    Can change the ugly prince into a beautiful toad
    living in and around bubbling cool streams!

    Alas! Curse the forgetting shadow of despair
    where snow is always a blizzard so deep
    Think again, see the color of her eyes and hair
    remember greatest treasure before sleep!

    Those times, when memories are better than gold
    there is worth in finding such a lost thought
    Remembering youthful energy, affirms I am now old
    if only distant time could be stored and bought!

    Faith In A Dream A'calling


    I thirst,
    give me water from the tree,
    of divine knowledge and light.

    I desire,
    wisdom to live and be free,
    light to make keen my sight.

    I pray,
    pure heart to faithfully give,
    thoughts that hold so true.

    I beg,
    true love to hold and live,
    heart and soul set to renew.

    I feel,
    happiness floating in time,
    family that holds me steady.

    I know,
    heaven to be so very sublime
    and this spirit sits on ready!

    No doubt,
    we going into another realm,
    where light gifts eternal joy.

    I await,
    ship with Master at the helm,
    spirit nothing can ever destroy!

    I can only hope that I filled in the spaces correctly....

    Landing In My True Love, My Angel Soars Down

    Looking at her dainty hands and smiling face
    there in the light her heart shone
    Such sweet, pure love one can never replace
    first earth-bound angel I have known.

    A red rose in her hand and glow in her eye
    she was the magic in my every dream
    So very perfect, so damn pretty I could cry
    if together, wading our love's stream.

    Truth was, so scared was this brave knight
    fear of losing what I did not yet hold
    Almost lost her being too scared of her light
    just like a small child, seven years old.

    Next our eyes locked and that smile she threw
    there were love words unspoken sent
    Life had been so boring but now all was so new
    if only a first date she would consent.

    As I imagined a life we could someday enjoy
    she slowly rose walking on over to me
    Saying, you look so lost, like a sad lonely boy
    there my heart says, stands a lone tree.

    Looking at her dainty hands and smiling face
    there in the light her heart shone
    Such sweet, pure love one can never replace
    first earth-bound angel I have known.

    The rest is our sweet history and life in love
    she holds my heart in her right hand
    My angel had soared down from heights above
    right into my true love she did land.

    Soft Whispers, Blowing In The Wind


    Sweet whispers, blowing in with the breeze
    wizened words of HE who must be praised.
    Sheer serenity, setting troubled soul at ease
    gently reminding me of how I was raised.

    As those words sing in rhythmic rhyming tune
    I feel an invisible hand hold me steady.
    A soft touch of divinity on this night in June
    assurances, my heart and soul are ready.

    Sweet whispers, they sing to me so very loud
    songs that praise the One that is Risen.
    Yes, his love is that which we should be proud
    HE, that released our souls from dark prison.

    As life gifts me, these whispers to hold tight.
    Love and joy now blesses me with all its might!

    Inside My Head, My Muse Too Often Rages


    Muse, please stop that raking inside my old head
    and those stomping feet keep me awake too late.
    I love other nights and your words I am often fed
    even the scary ones about my coming tragic fate.

    Know that this is not a raging and silly complaint
    there is far more to me than madness and glue.
    Yet too often your words, good words, they ain't
    Set me to curse some of the wicked things you do!

    How about that night you twisted my deepest love
    added in words about my secret lustful thought.
    Then the time you cried out, kill that damn dove!
    Yes, tis' true my heart and soul you have bought.

    And why can not I write one without your blather
    are not my own brain birthed words fine and great.
    No thanks, kiss you send is rejected, for I'd rather
    you took long vacations and did not keep me up late!

    Before you fly FAR away mad as a bat out of Hell
    please help me with that dark poem, I am stuck.
    Did I mention that I truly think you are so swell
    No my friend, I'll not lay down in front of a truck!

    Yes, you did toss into this write some sharp words
    a strong positive you sometimes so generously add.
    No, my aching head tis not full of old and lazy birds
    I command that you now be sweeter and not so bad!

    Hear me again, stop chattering and you just listen.
    I want big stars, deeper love and words that glisten!

    Muse, please stop that raking inside my old head
    and those stomping feet keep me awake too late.
    I love other nights and your words I am often fed
    even the scary ones about my coming tragic fate.

    Heaven Glowing In Harmony Non-Stop


    Heaven glows in, softest blue harmonizing non-stop
    as it rains, they gently fall in golden teardrops.
    Bold colors decorating the palaces that so shine
    serenity prevails and as its loving hearts entwine.

    Heaven sings about, great joy in knowing the Lord
    forever to explore all, nobody ever gets bored.
    Angels sing and roam about the magnificent skies
    all feeling happiness there and nobody ever lies.

    Heaven invites, all in faith with Father and Son
    to reside in happiness there, love must be done.
    Nights are lit entirely by a giant moon's glow
    sweet music and dance exist in each Heavenly show.

    Heaven holds dearly, words of Trinity and Love
    absolute bliss reigns, insured by our God above.
    No deep malice or dark ill will dares to invade
    all is a celestial picnic and resting in the shade.

    Heaven fulfills dreams, each a joy that is profound
    circle of contentment exists, forever deep and round
    Each thought a miracle, blessings arrive every hour
    all rests in safety no need for a tall castle tower.

    Dark And Twisted, Another Bloody Body Awaits


    There she lies, bloody dead at foot of my bed
    How the hell had our love morphed into this
    Throat slashed, body decaying without a head
    Smell of rotting flesh and grossly stale piss.

    Cold reality now just a dark and ragged blur
    Every day ghastly, morbid scene eats my mind
    Absolutely no memory of savagery heaped on her
    House sealed up tight so nobody can ever find.

    Red in rage, memory from bloody ages long ago
    Now burdened with a lovely but rotting mess
    Facing each day, a scene from a horror show
    Fearing discovery of my greatest, dark distress.

    A dream that night, slashing a monster's throat
    Walking around in sweet red blood and gore
    Satan pleased with this finely sacrificed goat
    Now dark and twisted, soul demands even more.

    Lurking in a long dark alley in this small town
    Obeying murderous, mad urges torturing me
    Waiting to seize and bring another girl down
    This darkness not resting, my soul's evil sea!

    There she lies, bloody dead at foot of my bed
    How the hell had our love morphed into this
    Throat slashed, body decaying without a head
    Smell of rotting flesh and grossly stale piss.

    Brave Men Wade Into Shadows On Death's Ground

    Power of one secret word can shatter all,
    send men into war and deadly harms way.
    Dead and dying on battlefields they fall
    for dead glory and pittance of pay.
    Brave men wade shadows on death's ground
    duty bound, praying for divine reprieves.
    Bloodshed reigns, ghastly deaths are found
    Dark Lord lies, that eternally deceives!

    Curse not legions of those fallen brave,
    honor rests in dying for a true cause.
    Heroes die in pain, as madmen simply rave
    wasted lives best give deeper pause!
    Blood gushes from spears with iron tips
    lives depart in battles forgotten.
    Charon sings out about his many trips
    ferrying bodies gashed, dead and rotten!

    Honor embraced those that fought dying well,
    others lay in dark forgotten graves.
    Charon took their lost souls deep into Hell
    where misery lives, nothing ever saves.
    No records exists of battlefield dying words
    testaments of mouths gurgling red blood.
    Rotting flesh, meals for hell's carrion birds
    maggots feasting upon blood soaked mud!

    Fear one secret word that can shatter all
    duty, honor fail when wrapped in lies.
    True warriors live to answer a just call
    seeking life later in Vahalla's skies.
    Serving truth in defending freedom's fate
    they may find death to not be so hard.
    Each knows with death they do have a date
    and joker resting on at least one card!

    Power of one secret word can shatter all,
    send men into war and deadly harms way.
    Dead and dying on battlefields they fall
    for dead glory and pittance of pay.
    Brave men wade shadows on death's ground
    duty bound, praying for divine reprieves.
    Bloodshed reigns, ghastly deaths are found
    Dark Lord lies, that eternally deceives!

    We Held The Fire And Ate The Blaze

    We held the fire and ate the blaze,
    And love sang in its fantastic musical tones,
    Such was deep pleasure we sought to raise,
    Living on our love and meager bare bones.

    You cried when I begged for your sweet hand,
    Swearing our love would forever last,
    I was so worried making such a bold stand,
    Praying you would not remember my bad past.

    Exultation came when you cried out- right now,
    I truly knew your heart had embraced mine,
    And had accepted my risky pledge and vow,
    Giving me all of you, my darling so very fine!

    Life gives and blesses as it tumbles onward.
    With eyes wide open we must look forward!

    The Golden Winged Angel Arrives

    I saw a horse, its rider cloaked in flames
    galloping downhill into a stream.
    Creature was cursing, shouting out names
    evil lived, in that nightmare dream.

    Following raced demons of various stripes
    clawing into defending soldiers true.
    Shouting darkened curses, vile evil types
    swearing death was mankind's due!

    Drinking blood of their victims slain
    eating, biting into human flesh.
    Feasting on gore and the cries of pain
    as the weak and fallen they thresh.

    I saw a winged demon fly into the mêlée
    each swoop crushing victims down.
    Coal black and so very massive was he
    with finger bones on his crown!

    Battle raged on, desperate was the fight
    death grew, as did agonizing cries.
    Carnage and misery ruled that dark night
    souls casted in hell as a crow flies.

    All seemed lost, miracle could only save
    those men battling dark forces.
    No bodies buried in a celebrated grave
    flesh eating, this menu's courses!

    I saw bright flash, thunder echoing sound
    demons instantly started to fall.
    Their black bodies sank into the ground
    upon a Golden angel's first call.

    Light had arrived to oppose darkest foes
    prayers had summoned this power.
    Demons lay about in their death throes
    faith gave victory in the last hour!

    With victory cry, Golden angel flew away
    survivors soon fell to bended knees.
    Victory race in, moment men fell to pray
    God hears and acts on faithful pleas!

    Waking, found dream had indeed been true
    I saw specks of blood upon my bed.
    Yet, there found was an even better clue
    gold-dust falling from hair on my head!

    Old Man Sitting On A Bench In The Fog

    Deep in bitter remorse, red rose in his shaking hand.
    Contemplating why he had murdered her that dark night,
    how even cut and dying, she had made her valiant stand.
    Old man sat waiting for repeat victim on a foggy night!

    The Deadest Hope In The World


    The deadest hope in the world to hold
    To be truly youthful when one is old
    To race about with eager quickened pace
    Innocent smile upon a softened face,
    Willing hands to love yet again,
    The envy of many jealous, fellow men
    A finer vessel sleek, pure and true
    Charming lady dancing along with you!

    Adorned with steadfast heroic words,
    Flying free of earth like the birds,
    Wandering into majesty of the clouds
    Far away from teeming earthbound crowds
    A God sailing alone in the night sky,
    Enjoying a blessing, not asking why!

    Autumn Scenes As Nature Presents


    The wild deer grazes meadows still in greens
    And great red hawk soars in sunny blue skies
    While the peacock struts and so proudly preens
    Black crows resting, bellow out their cries.

    Beavers are busy reading for winter's wrath
    And squirrels find and then store more nuts
    Black bear silently walks its well trod path
    Still yard-bound the beautiful peacock struts.

    Ravenous weasel scurries about seeking food
    Secure in its defense the skunk moves about
    Forest humming in this peaceful, serene mood
    Valley below, farmers work bringing crops out.

    In tallest pine on highest ridge eagle sees
    All of man's activities so far down below
    Now soaring in clouds above forested trees
    Majestic high flying image puts on a show.

    The wild deer grazes meadows still in greens
    And great red hawk soars in sunny blue skies
    While the peacock struts and so proudly preens
    Black crows resting, bellow out their cries.

    Thinking Only Of His Hungry Children's Pleas

    Treading down the path to massive stand of trees,
    dedicated father with worries in his head.
    Thinking only of his hungry children's pleas,
    he rose early from his warm and cozy bed.

    He raced onward a sharp axe in his right hand,
    hard work and sweat would not stop him.
    Ready to gather up part of this abundant land,
    he whistled, softly singing a bible hymn.

    His only rest, was stopping to eat around noon,
    his mind again turned to his hungry kids.
    Harvest this bounty and bring home food soon,
    saddened how their life had hit the skids.

    House fire early last year had taken all they had,
    still recovering, he prayed for relief.
    He had loved ones, his life was not so bad,
    almost gone was his self-pity and grief.

    Sunset, now he could go collect his day's pay,
    race to a store to buy his family food.
    Thanking a merciful God,stopping only to pray,
    sweetest blessing came changing his mood.

    At home at last, food cooking on the stove,
    this father mused about his lot in life.
    Living in a new home in a beautiful oak grove,
    he thanked God for family and dear wife.

    April, Sweet Sounds Of Life

    April, Sweet Sounds Of Life
    ( A Bird Singing To Me)



    Sweetest, softest sounds I ever heard
    were sweet notes of a mockingbird.
    Sitting up high in an old, dead oak tree
    far above busy hive of honey bees.


    April is here with its wet, hard rains
    hitting us like many wrecking trains.
    Warm winds start replacing chilly cold
    as we long for those happy days of old.


    Joy sounds in the notes of mockingbirds
    like sweet whispers of a lover's words.
    Please, listen today if you think you can
    will cheer the soul of any lonely man.

    Robert J. Lindley -04-17-2014

    Note- This poem edited today and more details added
    primarily in the note.
    This poem was written based on a memory from
    decades ago. A visit to my favorite woods. To my favorite spot there
    and my resting under an old elm tree. Moments later a mockingbird
    flew and landed on the old dead oak tree in front of where I rested
    and serenaded me. Just as IF it had been sent !! In fact, it stayed there
    until I got up to leave and followed me right up to the road where my
    car was park. I noted that strange bird behavior..

    O Send Me A Rose On A Gold Tray, A Rose

    O send me a rose on a gold tray, a rose,
    And wait for summer's midnight hour
    From the epic gleams of light you I chose,
    And the color in bright meadow's flower.

    Hold love's soft embrace firmly in hand,
    Where your breathe whispers in glee
    Dancing in time having not hear the band,
    Forever memories, memories of you and me.

    A red rose gracing your long dark hair,
    Sweetest echoes rang out in my mind
    From first touch, knew you truly care,
    Forever united our hearts we find.

    Splashes of color, gleaming on that rose,
    Your grace matched that brilliant flower
    How we both knew that moment God knows,
    We swam in the river flowing love's power.

    O send me a rose on a gold tray, a rose,
    And wait for summer's midnight hour
    From the epic gleams of light you I chose,
    And the color in bright meadow's flower.

    Recently edited, now the final version..-Tyr

    A Rainbow Sings

    Prismatic rainbow graces sky many ways
    with brilliant hues of multicolored rays
    picturesque goniochromism sings to decorate
    a ketch with Tyrian purple sails out late

    Sepia hue tinges this kaleidoscopic scene
    monolexemic shades threaten to richly preen
    majestic phenomena seen in sky embraces
    mists, vanishing clouds and aurorae traces

    A Rayleigh Scattering sets rainbow apart
    miracle that sends opalescence to impart
    this sky mingling multitude of colors now
    as red, orange, purple and yellow take bow

    Interwoven within this prismatic awe inspiring view
    Hopes and dreams of inspired poets like me and you!
