November Chills Remind Me

November Chills Remind Me



As November chill creeps in
I think of June and a friend
Sun beaming so eagerly down
our spot at the edge of town

Silent moments holding me
to a time and her pitiful plea
O' that this day last forever
and my love leave me never

She saw farther than I
the thought made her cry
I thought her so wrong
right she was all along

Clime cooled and so did we
leaves fell from our tree
October faded swiftly away
Parted on a chilly November day

November chills I think of her
so gone, I know not where
Shall June ever come again
will ever I see my friend

Sun shines down upon my Soul
keeping her should have been my goal.

R.J. Lindley  09, 11, 1976 


note: Tomorrow will be two weeks and no new writes by me. 
That is other than my private writings at home.. 
Found this in a old poetry book tucked in a chest with 
divorce papers from my first wife.
Seemed fitting to present it because , well its November now.

Answer, no never saw her again. She moved away, I lost contact.
Life sent its distractions and the universe spun ever onward..

Robert, A very great poem, but very sad. The challenges that face us all in life are many times not pleasant. The depth of thought and feeling in your work here is very obvious. The words leap from the page. All the best my friend. And a "7" from me on this superb, but sad poem. Cheers, Gary

This poem touches the heart with depth of feeling because I think we have all had someone in our lives that we cared about and have lost. It is beautifully constructed and touching Robert. I loved it! I hope you become inspired again soon as I know what it feels like to have a dry spell. Blessings, Connie

Hi Robert! This is such a very sad and beautiful poem! I am not ashamed saying that reading it brought tears to my eyes, feel so much pain and sadness thu your sad words and memories and a yearning of what could have been, but for some reason wasn't anymore. Her love and the loss of your marriage, and loss of a perhaps a great and true love, your soulmate back then. So many years have gone by now. Thanks for sharing this special poem. A 7 from me. Hope that you're really happy and her ( your first wife ) too. Best wishes! :) xxxx D.
