Love Was Sent, Treasure That Healed Two Crushed Hearts, a Collaboration With Susan Ashley

Love Was Sent, Treasure That Healed Two Crushed Hearts, A Collaboration with Susan Ashley Life shattered, soul crushed, another one has perished once gone from this world was all she ever cherished No amazing and joyful tales to tell the kids just naked silence, from raging of black rapids From heavens above, truest of gifts handed down romance sent, from He that wears faith's eternal crown. In that gloom and doom came our Spring's resplendent morn Love, joyful sound of Living, thus we were reborn Love, its Lights flamed, happiness needs no explaining summer warmth came from darkness rapidly waning O' what glory, shall your heart forever hold mine our sweet blessing, came from angelic hands divine Within nights, kisses that sated our hot desires came oaths of eternal love that never expires. In that gloom and doom came our Spring's resplendent morn Love, joyful sound of Living, thus we were reborn Our soaring passions’ pure as nightingale’s song enrapturing seduction righted what was wrong upon our heartstrings’ twilight music we did fly as supernova lusts did unfurl ‘cross the sky - scintillating stardust showered us with magic our souls’ kissed in sparkling bliss since events tragic. In that gloom and doom came our Spring's resplendent morn Love, joyful sound of Living, thus we were reborn Dreamy nectar - ripened wine, whetted revival as I sipped upon your essence for survival rousing the wild-honey luscious look in your eyes behind ambrosial mist passionate beauty lies on thirsty tongues of fire we burned ‘till morning’s light melting past the pain in moonflower swirls of night In that gloom and doom came our Spring's resplendent morn Love, joyful sound of Living, thus we were reborn Robert J. Lindley and Susan Ashley (a collaboration), April 24, 2019 Poet’s note: My dear friend, it always a great honor for me to be able to collaborate with you and truly enjoy your inspirational verses! Such a blessing is to me a very precious gift you give me and my appreciation is sincere and honest in this my admiration for both your great friendship and your magnificent poetry talents!
