Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

She a Flower So Delicately Blown

She A Flower So Delicately Blown

Hath there been far more kinder words I said
in my deep-fired angry accusations.
Our romance would have carried on instead
of this dark dungeon of deprivations!

Our first dance had given such treasured fruits
birthing that fantastic ecstatic kiss.
She was a beautiful belle, Southern roots
now so grievously lost, her love I miss!

She a flower so delicately blown
upon eager waiting paradise dreams
Was no way I, the young fool, could have known
we would both fall victim to evil schemes!

Youth, Fate and Time destroyed each loving heart
So tragic, now living lives torn apart!

R. J. Lindley
July 9th, 1980

Vladislav Raven May 7, 2017 at 1:13 PM Hi Robert, again your pen does write an excellent sonnet. Once again your emotions are displayed down the written page and as always i do draw them in as i draw in breath. There can be such beauty that can be found in sadness. Your words bring out both the beauty and the sadness. You have such a skill in the way you write sonnets. This write is a seven my friend. Your Friend Always....Mike.
