Sweetest of Moans, From Her Desirous Lips

This My Heart Cries Out, Is But A Sad Song I shall drinketh not of Life's poison draught Nor when famished, yield to its pleading thirst Of Hope, goodness in Life, I was this taught What ego so swells, it will also burst; As man walks in darkness his steps faltered In that weaken heart, black enters and grows, He becomes a horse so firmly haltered It rests between death's first destroying rows. This my heart cries out, is but a sad song- Man is a creature doomed to his demise, He walketh edge of abyss, helped along By each tempting lust evil can devise. When sorrows demand, I death must embrace I speaketh true,- "nay, such is a disgrace"! R. J. Lindley, 3- 22- 1979 Sonnet, ( When Wisdom Speaks Out And Prevails) **** Sweetest Of Moans, From Her Desirous Lips Sweetest of moans, from her desirous lips echoes night's glory, its fruits partaken we had collided as love seeking ships that each, our sad pasts, we had forsaken. With cargo born, heart's resplendent fires our search, with its sweetest treasures thus found gave us cause to join love's hottest desires and with fervor beg for chains to be bound. Now in paradise berth, we each swore all of deep passions to entwine in love's grip fighting this hard world, united stand tall swearing to never let true romance slip. Docked and riding such sweet and peaceful waves. We gave thanks, to a Love that truly saves. Robert J. Lindley, 4-15-2019 Sonnet, ( Sweet Blessings In Life That Have Been Given)

Thank you my friend. One was from 1979 the other from 2019- a forty year span in-between. With many poems read and also a great many poems composed during that 40 year span. Those studied/read were of famous poets- while those composed was by a poet always seeking to learn more and do better. Thanks very much for the favs .. God bless...

Thank you my friend. Yes, sad truth is I have lived them -the good and sweet and the sad and bad. Youth I wandered the earth in a vain attempt to conquer life and love as a warrior with sword always drawn for blood. When truth is there was never a sword needed -just needed was a wiser and purer heart! One if very lucky eventually learns that great truth. God bless..

Thank you my friend. So true dark and romance -- in this case one of darkness and life -the other of love, life and desire. Opposite sides of the same coin. God bless/....

Both of these poems are outstanding Robert, but being a romantic at heart, I prefer the latter. I hope you are enjoying St. Patrick's Day my friend. It is lovely to read your poetry today. Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Blessings xxoo

Thank you my friend. Wishing you a great St. Patrick's Day.. The later one is indeed romantic and less dark in its theme. God bless...

1st prose, we do easily succumb to the evil in our world; it's difficult to stand strong and we must draw from our faith. 2nd sonnet, beautifully crafted piece. Some things in this life make it easier to succumb to the evil or darkness. Well penned.

Thank you my friend. So true evil exists and plagues all of mankind that walk not in the true divine Light. Sad part is youth is far more often the victim because of its innocence and searching its way in this dark/evil world. God bless.
