Deceiving Beams From False Moons Often Fall

Deceiving Beams From False Moons Often Fall Deceiving beams from false moons often fall To those sad, lonely and lost love blinded Aching for tender-sweet renewed love calls Fall farther being so single minded. Darkness offers its own glimmering rays Converted into lights by epic pains When all seems lost, mere seconds are delays Minutes wasted seem unbearable strains. Where once love thrived, now love is forsaken Such gashes break armor and soon blood spills Thus any rope thrown is so soon taken Relief too long waited, brings cold chills. Pride gone, wandering fires fail to warm. Then Dark and Blackness wrecks its greatest harm. Robert J. Lindley, 1-24-2018 Sonnet, ( Return To The Lost Light) NOTE- Written from a message received in a dream last night. My Muse refused to let me ignore it, thus I sat down and wrote it..

The title hooked me and your Sonnet reeled me in, Robert. A fine piece of turmoil. Regards, Viv

Thank you my friend. This one was one of the easier , lighter ones to write about.. The hard ones are the viciously dark dreams that torture the brain the next day. I manage sometimes to wade through those again and jot down a poem.

Thank you my friend. Very pleased that you liked it my friend. This one was a very good to write about, unlike the extremely dark ones that come.

Thank you my friend. OK, give the muse the credit, even after she ran away after the first verse was written..lol After all,she always tell"s me it er gifting me the dreams to write about.While I shoot back, "you mean oft cursing the horrific nightmares to write about. She replies, "Same thing , silly boy."

Thank you my friend. I am greatly blessed or truly cursed, (which ever applies)-- by having such dreams. Great fodder for poems but sometimes they are dark and horrific nightmares that wake me! I prefer the ones that are not dark..
