Dawn's Calyx Woke Her and She Saw Pink Explosions

Dawn's Calyx Woke Her And She Saw Pink Explosions Dawn's calyx woke her and she saw pink explosions As if hot flaming rays across the window sill She woke me, I was brainstorming some implosions Laughed together, love was in the pinkest pill But day cried out, I am now tantalizing you Your hearts are combining but my golden rays shift Radiant glazes that give you more than your due I work with love, in tandem we paint in to uplift At the beach morning sun again touched our souls As the ocean's strong waves washed our lazy feet We marveled, life astoundingly joined our goals Must have been Heaven's lovely will that we would meet. That day, in the afternoon we vowed to wed. That glorious night, we slept in a silken bed. Robert J. Lindley, August 24th, 1974 Sonnet

Thank you again my friend. Yes, recovery is slow after such a deep and tragic loss. I am back writing a bit after a year and a half has now passed.. God bless you....

Thank you, my good friend. I was a very young romantic idiot a few times in my wild youth. Got burned badly 4 times between ages 18 and 28... Finally took being burned twice while being married for me to see the dagger...My 3rd marriage 17 years, no arguments, no divorce. She was a beautiful angel that never did me wrong. Leukemia killed her after 17 years of us being married. God bless.

Well thank you , my friend. This one was based upon a real life experience I once had. And she is the beauty that got away. She went back to California to her college. We wrote but soon she sent a letter saying she had found her prince there at her college. I moaned and groaned about that heartbreaking message for about 5 months, then I decided to go on with my life. God bless.
