Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Lies and Sad Eyes

Lies and Sad Eyes


Your huge eyes appear bright, blue and so sad 
why after all the those rich men you have had 
There was that guy that owned a jewelry store 
he gave you so much yet you stole so much more 

There was the dude that owned nine car lots 
he figured you out after I showed your spots 
Other cat's parents left him massive wealth 
you took all he had and ruined his health 

Your big eyes now appear swollen and so very red 
Told you I'd endure and torment your silly head 
Now you cry and moan for riches you think your due
Life is about family and love yet you haven't a clue

I gave my all and everything hence you never learned to love 
Karma bites you while rewarding blessings for me ever since from above

Robert Lindley, Nov, 10th, 2002


Oldie from centuries ago it seems.

Robert Johnson July 21, 2015 at 5:29 PM Self absorption never fills you up. It's one of those conundrums every one learns sooner or later, hopefully.

Frank Black Blacharczyk July 21, 2015 at 2:25 PM Your imagery is very good and it makes one have to re-read this poem. Very well written and yours words take us down different paths.

Bl Devnath July 21, 2015 at 1:43 PM There are three types of karma, one is constructive other is destructive and the last one is neutral. God has given everything to us. One who knows the mystery of love, he never misses to construct. 7 i feel. An excellent poem read from you my lovely friend. Loved always,bl

Christopher Leonidas July 21, 2015 at 1:31 PM I love the way you start this poem.

Connie Marcum Wong March 18, 2015 at 11:41 PM Wow Robert, I read what you explained to Andrea and money can't buy love. To be truly happy one must give love in return. Karma does win out, even if it takes many years. I enjoyed your poem. 7

Scott Thirtyseven March 2, 2015 at 5:41 AM Ah Karma always even the game. Nice write Robert.

Robert Lindley June 29, 2014 at 10:04 AM Edited final version now given . I thank my dear friend for giving me such great advice on my need to improve this offering to make it even better.

Dr.Ram Mehta June 28, 2014 at 12:35 AM A real karmic story, Robert Robert Lindley June 28, 2014 at 3:09 PM Thank you Dr. Ram. That "ole wheel of justice" may grind so very painfully slow but it also grinds ever so exceedingly fine. Karma indeed!

Andrea Dietrich June 27, 2014 at 9:37 PM Robert. you are funny saying from centuries ago. That is when i first started being a poet. Just before you wrote this poem in 2002!! I like this but I didn't get the wording of "cat's parents". Are you using the slang term for a man. like a cool cat? did you really know a woman like this. I would love to have met a rich man, but only the bitches seem to get them!!! she deserves sad eyes!! Robert Lindley June 27, 2014 at 10:21 PM She went for the money, I was the honey. Now she is rich and miserable while I am broke and so damn happy!!!!! Karma is a real bitch , she has now found that out the hard way. I smile every time I think about it. lol Robert Lindley June 27, 2014 at 10:19 PM Yes my friend , I knew her since I was once married to her. Yes "cat's" parents the "cat' is slang for dude. Centuries ago means so long ago because that is now a very, very distant and horrible past life! She was truly a bitch and she is now married to a man worth just a tad over 70 million
