In my passing by
I am standing still
I'm not interested
in the pleasures unmarried
no I am interested in her vessel
Alas, but first
My spiritual eye sees what's inside
Her Father allows her heart belongs to us
it is so pleasurable so Divine
pure and kind
and in essence her effervescence
her light truly blessed
Her Father allows her heart belongs to us
I insist I talk to her Father
Our Father
I tried to resist and as I'm late
to stay I often pray
Her Father allows her heart belongs to us
that this is not a mirage
for you see I love her
and it's not with just a physical eye
I am a man who loves her
Her Father allows her heart belongs to us
spirit, heart, mind first
and I shall not walk away I stand I stay
My soul, my spirit, my heart belongs to God first and her as well
Her Father allows her heart belongs to us

Oh, beloved one, dear to me you art.
I pledge myself to you with marriage vows.
A solemn oath with my hand on my heart...
I shall love you as long as time allows.
Then over your heart, my hand shall linger,
making promises of fidelity
sealed by a ring placed on my left finger
before friends and God, so reverently.
Our hearts shall e're belong to each other
as two candles burning with passion's fire.
Flames that shall never smolder or smother
ever ablaze with our ardent desire.
Forsooth you be reaped by the wraith of death,
with hand on my heart, I'll take one last breath.

Florid gold funds greed's frivolity
Sedated mandate of sodden monotiny
Forever renewing fields ripen with magnitude
Fervent farmer forges quest of fortitude

My wailing has turned to keening
I cannot stop; I am despondent.
Fully reversed in my feelings.
My confidence has disappeared.
I cannot do this! I scream
Only it is shrieking.
My house is silent, except for my screams of despair.
No one to reassure me; to lift me up.
It is the time I should be reaching out to friends.
My depression will allow none of that.
My black curtains are closed, locking out the sun
A ray of hope or optimism cannot reach me here.
The phone has been ringing for three days.
So I put it on airplane mode,
Reveling in my rage,
Fanning the flames of despondency
Until I am scaring myself
The dog tries to cuddle, but I turn her away.
Living my hurt in the deepest well I can find.

Hell-Hound Allows No Souls Out
Deep in the darkest pit,
where anguished screams resound
Evil thoughts feed the it,
fanged , demonlike hell-hound
No mercy for those so lost,
only torture to pay the cost
Gnawing on its victims with relish,
the monster growls so hellish
Desperate pleas never heard,
too late for any praying word
Looking in deeply is insane,
here, mercy calls always in vain
Dark shadows skirt about,
hellhound allows no souls out
Fear forces me to not see,
that fate once was awaiting me
Distant pits rumble much the same
Death final victor in this hellish game
Robert J. Lindley, 2-14-2015
note -- Edited and shortened poem from a very much longer
write many decades ago.

Treasures of the heart
within... Midst of love..
Mystical... moon light
God's Blessings
from above
As I gaze up
in the heavens
Sparkling Stars
shining.. so bright
Let's not waist
another moment
come let's share
our Treasures of life
Senses of Sweetness
of Love.. in the air
memo the times
You.. were here
You made me laugh
even brought cheer
Sweetness of happiness
Whenever your near
Under the moon lit night
wondering where
you could be
wondering will there be
another moment
God will allow
you to share with me

There is no such thing as society,
society is just you,her and I,
there is no such thing as community,
only you,him and I is what we see;
Thereby,there is no such thing as the state
or village,town,county,city to hate
berate,blame as we collectively moan,
forgetting,no one exists alone;
Each connected,mother,child brother,
one to the other,neighbours,and unique;
We must love one another,is the cry,
without philadelphia,we die.
Inspired by a phrase in WH Auden's poem 'September 1939'
