Poem
Of The Life, The Great Loss, The Solemn Plea Across the cold chasm of that great divide were flung the salty tears I could not hide and epic darkness of a weeping soul aching sorrows that took a heavy toll O'gasping voice- shall thy complaints be heard by whispering wind or by poet's word in that a life mystery there gave birth from those youthful days and innocent mirth pray I, joy again of a much freer me with swifter rescue from despair's aching sea! O'mercy, dare thee this heart quickly heal bless this soul, renewing love's dancing zeal cast happy net, its loving gems therein reap beauty and truth, gems to forever keep whilst in my pleadings- I beg for much more than unjust solitude on a foreign shore remember what you asked me to swear now failure- my loss more than I can bear may I sworn rendezvous now truly keep and you forgive me before my final sleep! Fated were the blues of that darkest day perhaps even these words I must now say you my darling, were everything to me but of freedom's needs, we could not agree I that sought far, far more than was my due live now despondent despair missing you can you feel intense pain of this broken heart with your tender heart gift us a restart gift our lives, treasure of renewed love so again, we may kiss 'neath Heavens above! O'mercy, dare thee this heart quickly heal bless this soul, renewing love's dancing zeal cast happy net, its loving gems therein reap beauty and truth, gems to forever keep? R.J. Lindley July 17th, 1976 Romanticism, ( The Sorrows Of A Love Lost ) Old note, July 17th, 1976 : deleted New Note: 6-14-2021 This is from my ancient graveyard of hidden poems. Another time that in my youth I went far astray I when looking back, see it like it was yesterday And can yet again feel the pangs of a love destroyed This may now, see the bright cleansing light of day From wild youth, when I once let my vanity hold sway. Decided to not edit this, leave it as was written when in throes of deepest sorrows, heart was cut to shreds..
