The Truth of Love and Its Awesome Powers

The Truth Of Love And Its Awesome Powers Oft when dusk crawls on in its smells as freshly rotten leaves to some its dark its power is a wonderful joy as in those hearts that air spells its wickedness and evils sing.... But as shadows arrive and their powers display this heart sends up its wise alert flags and cries man the fort lad for battles will be waged.... As twinkling star spit down rays of speeding lights some hearts finds pleasure and joy for the darkness it destroys and the mind sees ravishing beauty in the glowing Heavens above... Viewing such wonders this soul asks our God if the future true love shall be given and then heart says sure it will just be patient and all shall one day shall come hold fast walk straight and wait... as I lay seeing galaxies dancing in the sky I imagine a goddess who will my hand take kiss me as a lover and never ever leave me our dawns will see nothing but love and her beautiful face we live for each other and two hearts are as one bodies entwined and love's amazing, magical and awesome powers absorbed... Robert J. Lindley, free verse may 2nd 1974

In your twilight hours when you are left alone, the thoughts of love comes soothing and you dream of the endearing presence of your lover when on everyday you live a life of love and love alone with your sweet goddess. To some love is dark, but to some others it is true light. It is equally heart warming , but can turn heart rending too.Let your love stay bright and soothing always. A lovely poem dear Robert.

Thank you, my good friend. Yes, we have love in our memories too. I had those 17 fantastic years with my beautiful beloved wife Riza. She is passed away now but our memories last, and we have our son Justin. So the blessing continues onward. God bless you my good friend.

My dear friend, indeed love has awesome powers both exquisite and excruciating. Your poem both weeps and rejoices in the mire and magic of love. This poem is a rich gem from your treasure trove of older poems. Robert, I adore these soulful facets of your poetic past. The ending of this piece reminds me of the appreciation you had for finding your beloved Angel. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thank you, my very good friend. Yes, truth is I had an amazing youthful past. It came complete with epic heartaches and fantastic love too. I guess that I fell in love so deeply was because of my immensely poetic heart. And what is a blessing can be turned into a massive heartache. But I survived the bad and finally for 17 years I had the good, the fabulously great. Now Fate took that away. God bless you. Robert

Thank you, my good friend. Well, it took me living through two very bad marriages to ever get to the fantastically fine wife I got. Losing her was almost impossible for me to carry on. She was indeed a beautiful angel I had been waiting years for. God bless you my friend.

Love- it brings warmth to the heart, yet it can bring tears to the soul. Powerful write, Robert. So well written, my friend. Blessings...Charlie

Thank you, my friend. So well said. At that time it certainly brought many tears from me. As my wife broke my heart over a dozen times. The drugs won her over. I could take no more of her disappearing acts. She would take off to do her drugs. God bless you.

It's really such a matter of wonder, how love can bring different forms of transformations and atmospheres for different individuals. True love never comes easy and first, we always drown in the onyx raging waves of heartbreaks or betrayals.. Trying to sail through life and yearning for a heart to hold the fragments of our souls. The ending lines of this poem are just so beautiful and palpable, in fact this whole piece is a FAV for me.. So beautifully crafted!

Thank you, my good friend. I was just 20 years old when I composed this one.. And during that time my wife and I were broke up, separated. We got back together after 6 weeks. She had a drug addiction that caused us much grief, ended up 2 years later we divorced. I did love her with my all. But to no avail, she loved her drugs more. Quite sad. I divorced her even tho' I loved her.
