Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Where Hard Rocky Crags Meet White Foamy Sea

Where Hard Rocky Crags Meet White Foamy Sea

Where hard rocky crags meet white foamy sea
rip-roaring splashes, sing softly to me.
Under starlit heavens, big yellow moon
Our fleeting lives vanish far, far too soon!

Where waiting sands absorb bold, mighty waves
further out lay, lost ships and lone sea graves.
Yet sadness can not diminish this view
Or hide the spot where I proposed to you!

I see again, star glow in your bright eyes
and hear that quick yes and your happy cries.
My darling, in this, our sweet tale lays bound
unbreakable vows, true love we both found!

Where hard rocky crags meet white foamy sea
rip-roaring splashes, remind me of thee!

Vera Duggan March 28, 2017 at 1:46 AM Hi Robert, as I was reading this sonnet I was singing it, it would make a great song, I sang it to the tune "White pearly sands", it is so beautiful, thank you for sharing my dear friend, how are you and Riza and Justin, well I hope..........Vera Robert Lindley March 28, 2017 at 4:19 AM So great to hear from you my friend! Justin is very sick so I am up with him, super high fever for going on 5 days now, meds not helping. he has ear and throat infection and mono.. I am frazzled beyond belief.

Vladislav Raven March 27, 2017 at 6:34 PM Hi Robert, another excellent sonnet from your golden pen. You capture moments in life so well. This write takes my mind back in time and i love the feeling of the past that comes to me. I'm not really a twentieth Century guy. Your poetry is always worth the reading Robert. There are always emotions to be felt. Your sonnets do always sing Robert. Your Friend Always....Mike. This has to be a seven and a fave. Robert Lindley March 27, 2017 at 6:43 PM Thanks my friend.. I feel like I should have been born in the 17th century myself! I write a lot about moments in my long and once ever so wild life.. I am lucky and blessed that others find such interesting... Your poems often remind me of old time classic poets.. something that I admire so much!
