Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Undying Love

Undying Love



For you I would drain the ocean blue
 fight it's fearsome monsters too
Sail a ship smashing stormy seas
 buy the bank giving you the keys

For you I would slap a tiger in it's cage
 dance bare naked upon a public stage
Knock mighty mountains down to gravel
 across barren deserts swiftly travel

For you I would totally change my life
 cut my own throat with razor knife
Dive headfirst into a bottomless dark pit
 do anything , anything  but commit!

For you sweet baby, anything but commit!

Robert L. 05-28-2014

Travelled that road for 8 years as a young man between marriages...
Greatly fearing to commit because it meant opening my heart to 
a possible future unbearable pain again. It took a miracle for me 
to overcome and right on time 21 years later I got blind-sided again.
Live and learn...
