    She A Flower So Delicately Blown

    Hath there been far more kinder words I said
    in my deep-fired angry accusations.
    Our romance would have carried on instead
    of this dark dungeon of deprivations!

    Our first dance had given such treasured fruits
    birthing that fantastic ecstatic kiss.
    She was a beautiful belle, Southern roots
    now so grievously lost, her love I miss!

    She a flower so delicately blown
    upon eager waiting paradise dreams
    Was no way I, the young fool, could have known
    we would both fall victim to evil schemes!

    Youth, Fate and Time destroyed each loving heart
    So tragic, now living lives torn apart!

    Dream Battle With Ole Lucifer

    Dark beast why curse my night so deep
    invade my sweetest dream sleep
    Thee shall findeth me not too proud
    to beg for His help out loud
    Thy sulfur stench invades this room
    thy offers spells only doom
    Look upon this courageous smirk
    begone, for I have real work
    Dreams of pure joy and life anew
    will not give devil his due
    Tuck pointed tail and run away
    you lose every time I pray
    Shed not your red-hot tainted tears
    your lies now bring no big fears
    Take that bad smell with your black stench
    game over, you sat the bench
    I shall be laughing as you leave
    no repeat, Adam and Eve
    Now be off, wail deep as you go
    eat ash in your fire-pit hole

    Norse Mythology, Return Of The Slayer Of Dragons

    ( Part One, Darkness Arrives)

    I - (THE PLEA)

    Slayer of weak beasts, ravager of torn breasts
    Darkness from East, dragons its armored crests
    What hero dares to slay this foul evil
    What man may dispatch this tool of the devil?
    Hell's fires doth burn hot from its massive jaws
    Innocent red blood drips from its sharp claws
    Hero, bring thy brave heart - courage made of steel
    Hope's faith, all it begets in thy iron will.

    Shall Valhalla send relief - heroic hands
    Salvation from great beast in weakened lands
    Doth not their sad cries reach their merciful gods
    Can avenging warriors smite with lightning rods?
    Hero! Bring thy sword and armor with dire haste
    For this foul creature, such dear lives now wastes
    Blessings on thy travels to their burnt cities
    For they languish so sad in their deep pities!


    (Part Two, Odin Sends A Hero)

    II. - (THE ARRIVAL)

    From dark skies, ball of fire downward fell
    From Asgard's vault, landed he in their hell
    From Thor's loins this invincible form was sown
    In armored flesh, power never before known
    Sword fired from Asgard's own best armor makers
    With Thor's own hammer, still an earth shaker
    Standing eighteen foot from head to his bare feet
    Thor's new warrior anything but sickly sweet.

    With blue eyes and a mind keen as dawn's new lights
    Courage born from his father's greatest fights
    Seeing desolation, far as eye could see
    He had been summoned down to set this world free
    With sword and hammer obeying Odin's decree
    Wings formed by Loki, flew he to the sea
    Found, huge tracks of massive, marauding black beast
    Blood all about, stripped bones from its bloody feast!

    ( Part Three, Slayer Finds The Beast)

    III - (The Battle)


    Far off, clouds of smoke reveal the beast at play
    Slayer knew battle coming, he knelt to pray
    With words sincere, he asked for Odin's favor
    Strength to beast destroy, victory to savor.
    As Valhalla's sign sky-fire, showed brightly clear
    Slayer arrived, to conquer dragon with no fear
    Beast saw Slayer in armor and keen to fight
    Charged forth with fire and all its massive might
    Slayer stepped quick and sent spear into its side
    A mere nick to sting and burn its fierce pride.

    Angry beast turned and blew fire upon empty stone
    Slayer plunged sword hilt deep, hitting dragon bone
    One mighty leap on its huge scaly back
    Its vulnerable neck he began to hack.
    Beast fast rolled left throwing slayer right off
    Spoke of Slayer's death with arrogant scoff.
    Slayer laughed out loud and gave a big smile
    Said, beast you shall die in just a little while
    With that said, Thor's invincible hammer he threw
    Dragon received true justice so long overdue!

    ( Part Four, Slayer Returns Victorious)

    IV- (Fame, Feasts And Rewards)


    Death had by Slayer's right hand found its place
    Slayer relaxed and sighed, with smile on his face
    With one stroke he cut of mighty dragon's head
    A hero's final act to prove it truly dead.
    Victory won, back to Valhalla's great hall
    Glory found, for answering Odin's call
    Feast of honor as never had they before
    Slayer's name sung on Valhalla's every shore
    Odin gave Slayer castles of solid gold
    Commanding his tale to forever be told!

    Fair Maiden, Sweet Princess, Divinely Sent

    In festering sea, brackish waters merged with salt
    we found our earthly lives, almost came to a halt.
    Maiden fair, standing so proud and with honor free
    O' how majestically, all marvel at thee!

    Beautiful princess, olden gods blessed thee true
    thy graceful words, truth shown courageous and anew.
    Never again, shall man see one so fine and fair
    with thy gentle smiles and luminous golden hair.

    How rests thee? Far away in heavenly abode?
    Thou art truly missed, rarest treasure once bestowed.
    Pray we true, for thy most blessed and safe return
    precious gift we seek yet in no way can we earn.

    Pray thee! Cast thy soft countenance upon our shores.
    Relieve us from this dark house, its decaying floors.

    Robert J. Lindley,

    Sept 6th, 1986

    When She Walks, Her Feet Never Touch The Ground

    When I am gone, pray I my works stand tall
    never was great, but this heart never was small.
    Whenever I stand myself right back on up,
    this mind imagines clear, brighter new Spring
    world full of roses, beauty on everything.
    Life and wonders parading on fertile grounds
    sweetest red wine, poured on love's majestic sounds.
    Gems laden around heart desire's golden cup,
    seeking life's truest love not just a one night fling
    if falling, courage to raise myself and sing.
    Slowly this spirit is coming on around
    seeing her loving smile this heart swells and pounds.
    Her love is honey nectar this soul drinks up,
    with her touch, love magnifies all it brings
    beautiful dreams grow within all living things.

    When she walks, her feet never touch the ground.
    Deep in her heart, this soul is happily bound.
    Deep in her heart, this soul is happily bound.
    Deep in her heart, this soul is happily bound.
    Deep in her heart, this soul is happily bound.

    Sir Poet, Hold True To Thy Gifts Long Given


    Sir poet, why hast thy broken thy true pen?
    Are not thy words intended to help and heal?
    Pray thee, returneth to world of gentle men,
    Let both thy mind and fevered blood softly spill!

    Sir poet, why hast thy burned thy greatest writes?
    Are not thy word-gifts bearing much needed fruits?
    Pray thee, this sad, dark world sees thy ink-bright lights,
    Begs thy kind soul return to poetic roots!

    Sir poet, write deep to heal thy wounded heart
    Embrace yet again, thy soul's truest call to arms
    Find thy calling, begin an earnest restart,
    Seek thee to help not this rash act that so harms.

    Sir poet, hold true to thy gifts long given
    Join again, poet's rewards in true liven'.

    Will Thy Spirit Walk Such A Well Lit Path

    Can thee see the red warmth in the bright rose
    glimmering in majestic, mystical hues.
    Feel great magnificent beauty from head to toes
    give Nature fully her true rightful dues?

    Will thy spirit walk such a well lit path,
    softly step and see rainbows before rain.
    Abandon deep pride and its oft vengeful wrath
    find in future promise the world to gain?

    Should life present thee with easier gold?
    Cast thee wealth and manna from above?
    Let not wicked greed make thy heart too bold,
    for such tragedy oft destroys true love!

    If thee can see rainbows in life's dark droughts
    thy life can prosper despite worst of bouts.

    Decided to break down and write one this morn....-Tyr


    Man Lives, Nature Stands And Sweet Earth Survives


    Man lives on, by moments in night and day,
    oft raging beast of red dust.
    World fights back- come with what it may,
    man lives on, for we must.

    Nature stands eternal, and quietly balks,
    slowly moving, power displayed.
    Watching man's foolish ways and talk,
    destruction so proudly made.

    Sweet earth survives, as it rightly should,
    despite its great marauding beast.
    Deep destroyer of sky, stone and wood,
    ravenous devil looking to feast.

    Man lives, Nature stands and sweet earth survives.
    While we live with massive greed ruling our lives!

    Spread Thy Hands, That We Find Rest In Thy Shade

    Violet hues, thy future may be read
    radiance that unites earth and blue sky.
    History records thy words wisely said
    thy winds blow, earth and sky can not deny.

    Rubies, grace thy archaic gold crown
    rose-lit, thy warmth for the poor and the weak.
    Cursed are they that see thy angry frown
    bless are the lost, thy tender heart doth seek.

    Flames of future battles already won
    ashes that blow in thy whispering winds.
    Thy love, gifts given, His begotten Son
    bounty of truth and light that never ends.

    Spread thy hands, that we find rest in thy shade
    with love and joy, all thy Father hast made.

    The Golden Palanquin


    They bore her in a golden palanquin
    Down to the dusky ford;
    They bent in tears before her sandalling,
    Nor uttered they a word
    As through the forest-shadowed water-way-
    She passed unto her eternal beauty,-
    Unto loveliness of things remembered
    Beyond the light of day.

    Lost And Alone On The Cold, Darkened Streets

    Hole in her heart matched the hole in her dress
    She was now alone, life was such a mess.
    First that truly great job had flown away
    Then her fine house destroyed by fire next day.
    Monday came, more darkness with its ill wind
    For death had visited her last true friend
    Now sorrow, ate its way into her soul
    Life wrecked, fate had taken its heavy toll.
    On brutal streets she found an alley home
    She, penniless and childless had to roam
    She had no choice but to try to survive
    Now so weak, just barely staying alive.
    Why she asked, had such calamity came
    Was not she and her heart one and the same?

    Robert J. Lindley
    Sonnet
    Fate delivers its great and deep sorrow in so many sad ways.
    I wrote this one for a contest at my home poetry site but I forgot to enter it...

    Rhyme And Simple Revelations



    He that kneels on fresh earth, looks up and prays
    seeks depths of power from Heavens above
    Glorifies God's truth and so many ways,
    exemplifies truest meaning of Love.

    On And On, He Created To Give To All

    Brush in delicate hand, strokes smooth and thick
    romantic scenes created with a splash
    Truest fine art, his was no mere parlor trick
    World revelation said it was a smash.

    With steady purpose his soul sought to speak
    gifts to others was his true destined course
    To find and touch those that truly seek
    he racing on like a fine-bred race horse.

    On and on racing through years thick and thin
    deliberate in his goals, wise in art
    He did offer all again and again
    jewels not found on any treasure chart.

    With his steady hand, pen and ink words flew.
    Poet so old, few things to him were new.

    Where Rests, That Lost Moon And Its Shadowed Light

    Where flies lies, bright gold and fancy will do
    Grim Reaper's scythe also cuts grain for sweet bread,
    Darkness claims such tripe is novel and true!
    Ah but! What shall be found only when dead?

    Where rests, that lost moon and its shadowed light
    Stars dim in chaotic and morbid tunes,
    When deep-blind, darkness may appear so bright
    Waters drank gaily from tallest sand dunes!

    Where stones falling are held to be sweet signs
    Innocence goes hungry, wears dirty rags,
    Evil dwells content in high mountain pines
    Soft clouds crash into high rocky crags!

    Where flies lies, bright gold and fancy will do
    Darkness claims such tripe is novel and true!
