Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

From the Saddest Depths of Bitter Despair

From The Saddest Depths Of Bitter Despair

Within this heart love born
once beloved now scorn
fills each little crevice
life seems out of service
bitter cold turns the wind
dark sets its pains to send
Alas! Loneliness reaps
broken shards into heaps
while moonlight will not shine
on these blues I now dine
and the aches seem endless
here, I am now friendless
  dark on this soul assails
  nobody hears my wails
In this chasm I soft weep
So, so cold, dark and deep

Within this heart love born.
Once beloved, now scorn.

R.J. Lindley, 
Dark rhyme
(  From, In for a penny, in for a pound )

Gregory Richard Barden July 28, 2021 at 11:42 PM No, my friend ... not friendless and alone, FAR from it! Wonderful write that has a heartbreaking beauty, but I pray you did not linger in this spot too long ... it is an altered reality, not the sunny shards that you deserve. Blessings!
