Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

I Know Some of Life's Sorrows, Fate Decrees Everlasting

I Know Some Of Life's Sorrows, Fate Decrees Everlasting

I saw seven dying newborn white horses
I stumbled upon seventeen darken courses
I ran through twenty-seven ancient burnt temples
I found love may be hard, even when life is simple.

I sat at thirty-seven broken wooden tables
I listen intently to forty-seven mystical fables
I kissed sweetly fifty-seven kindhearted virgins
I sat in ocean fires with flaming tides  surging.

I spoke sixty-seven times of my cravings
I cried out seventy-seven of my maddest ravings
I sang eighty-seven songs of death and devastation
I recall the best and worse of me without hesitations.

I wonder if hundred-seven years would be worth living
I think I need hundred twenty-seven years for forgiving
I beg for hundred thirty-seven days of deepest fasting
I know some of life's sorrows, Fate decrees everlasting.

R.J. Lindley, Sept 20th. 1976, December 11th, 2019
Rhyme, ( The Roads That Fate And Destiny Set Upon Us )
- Where the mystical shadow dances and blows.-

Robert Lindley December 11, 2019 at 4:58 PM Thank you my friend. Yes, my youth was one very wild ride. I have survived a lot of dark. Fought many vicious battles and have several deep scars that so remind me. Yet hope and faith can save even a young, reckless fool. And maybe even do so, that so he can tell the tale..... God bless....
