I Fear This May Be Curse, That Dead Vikings Sing

I Fear This May Be Curse, That Dead Vikings Sing

Who believes it will come one fine-bred day
Not a beautiful queen but a beauty
A doll, a great dame, one with newborn hope
Could she be a princess that fled away?
His heart and soul said yes she surely is
Her body is ravishing, so purely true
Those sexy eyes this tender heart hurts so
She so brilliant, brainiac on a quiz.
Why does this fear enter this aching brain
Is my lurking ghost yet again speaking
O' no, those words are terrible to hear
Speak not spirit, I cannot bear the pain
Now I know laying here in these black chains
She is curse that splinters harvested grain!
Pray I not, this is accursed wrecking dream
The one where I drown in the falling rain!

That ends when she makes that venomous sting.
I fear this may be curse, that dead Vikings sing.

Robert J. Lindley, Rhyme
April 9th,, 1979

Ahead of time Ahead of Beauty.. Ahead of the word.. A sonneteer by excellence! When I read what you breathe of words arranged skillfully and artistically in the loftiest of form.. the majestic Sonnet with its captivating splendour and what you fill in of your rich soul, feelings and thoughts! An avid reader can but not just behold such a beauty but also dive, bathe and drink what satiates the mind and the heart! Your poetry is enriching, enlightening adding a lot to the world of words and humanity.. Definitely a gem! God bless your amazing soul. Best regards.
