Forever Lost Within Her Evil Dreams

Forever Lost Within Her Evil Dreams

Life raced on merrily away, as it should:
Heartache, grief and rejected love ran
Forever striking all the dreamers it could,
shaken and shocked lay the sad heart of man.

This world, rages and breaks the weakest:
Looking for souls to cut and break
Found first are the soft and the meekest,
nightmares burning all at the stake.

Dark nights, she enters to dare tempt:
A vixen built to heart so swell
Hidden quite well her hate and contempt,
And sins she brings straight from Hell.

She, darkness coming as a heated flame:
With lies splashing in her streams
When embraced one forgets even their name,
Forever lost within her evil dreams!

Life raced on merrily away, as it should:
Heartache, grief and rejected love ran
Forever striking all the dreamers it could,
shaken and shocked lay the sad heart of man.

R.J. Lindley
Nov. 22nd 1991

I'm in awe that even all those years ago you were writing wonderful poetry Robert. Loved this piece, and summed up well by Anne Lise, James :)

I sometimes think I wrote better back then when my mind was young and more optimistic with my imagination racing forward... Alas, I so often seem slowed down now..
