Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Two Hearts, Two Lives, An Eternal Meld

Two hearts, Two Lives, An Eternal Meld

Hold your horses, those waters arent so deep
far, far more to life that eating and sleep.
Roses gleaming, dawn's beckoning new frosts
things you'd defend at any and all costs.
Picnicking, lakeside with your true soulmate
times you won, while so sorely tempting Fate!

Living to discover love, its treasures
path taken, with life's sweet, simpler pleasures.
Now gaze back at nights of hottest romance
with future lives planned, nothing left to chance.

Magnificent joy, two loving gems held
with two hearts, two lives, an eternal meld.

R.J. Lindley,
March 3rd, 1978
Sonnet, ( Life's Sweetest Promises )

Connie Marcum Wong April 10, 2018 at 1:02 PM A loving tribute to a love that lasts a lifetime and beyond death. Beautifully expressed Robert! Some are blessed with this kind of love in their life. xxoo Robert Lindley April 10, 2018 at 7:09 PM Thank you my friend. Yes, such blessing is far greater that vaults of golden treasures. Youth and its high hopes, sweet dreams are blessings that one happily remembers later in life. Even the ones that failed are oft wondrous to remember having hope in.

Arturo Michael April 10, 2018 at 11:00 AM "face-up" I like the message of the poem...All the best Robert Robert Lindley April 10, 2018 at 7:05 PM Thank you my friend. Written at a young age, this one was filled with hope in the future, and revealing how much I appreciated being alive, in love and in great health. A much , much simpler time in life and also in the world as well.
