Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Bitter Memories of Dark Rain's Wrath

Bitter Memories of Dark Rain's Wrath


There was such warmth in your winter fires
enchanting love in your daily talks.
Sweetest glory in all your fantasy desires
such treasured memories in our walks.
Spring held the beauty of that smiling face
as rising flowers burst the ground.
Renewal of life matched your loving grace
as classical music was your sound!

Yet cold Winter came as it always must do
bringing in chills that ate away. 
The breath of life in hearts and in you
sick and foreboding a dark day.
Previous joys and pleasant days cherished
dearest touches grew so old.
A darkness formed, soon our love perished
love's ashes rest there so cold!

A nightmare, such bitter and cutting stains
death brought its deep cutting pain.
Eternal epic loss, that nothing ever explains
why our love drowned in dark rain!

Lin Lane October 9, 2015 at 7:38 AM These words could've been written by me. The death of love leaves bitter memories. Even when you try to hold on to the good ones, the bad ones creep in. I'm sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal... Writing helped me heal and I hope it did the same for you. Well done, Robert.
