Poem
A Storm, A Tempest And A Hope Remorse hangs like dark and bitter fruit A tragic voyage far off the right course Cuts to the mind with an evil root Blood-lust still in the crying remorse Defeated Alone A shot into this darkened lost world Future clouded in a racing mist A boulder into a grave now hurled More pains added to the emerging list Volley blasted to summon a darker Fate Deep bath in seething, rich hate! Ship sent to give a last chance Treasure laid for the roving eye to see Nights promised with engulfing romance Endless pleasures from our loving tree Then the shadow raced into a new sight Trumpet sounded to eat away your face Darkness soon ate away the splendid light Revealing my saddened soul in its deep disgrace! No stars shine upon this torture heart The world shudders without you in my life We die a thousand deaths when we are apart You my love were to be my eternal wife! Now time eats into the void of our loss As our future certainty is a great unknown On this stormy sea, swells give us a toss Where such dark evil plans are blown Pray for mercy to be downward cast A miracle to be given and sent If our love was ever meant to last The Light must return and give blessed consent! Robert J. Lindley, 07-16-2015 This was originally written decades ago, but after having rewritten it twice as it is now presented here -I'll just leave the date as shown from the final rewritten version.
