Best Set Apart Poems
So deep and profound agonizing at times
rude feelings hurt to the core bring forth emotions
and wonder of one hundred degrees of separation
distance kept in order to keep the peace within self
time to cut the cord and be set free to breath fresh clean air
rid of bad toxic feelings not spared hurting words thrown in the mix
of hurtful things to say pertaining to one's emotional frame of mind
words not carefully chosen can come across hurtful and regretful
so deep so close to home where once was off limits when matters of the heart are involved not communicating in a respective way
deep personal scars are the hardest to make amends for they cut you down to the core with no remorse or regrets to strong of a bond to be easily broken hard to repair when blindsided spectator's outsiders cheering
maliciously to a degree of separation blood sucking vengeful no life
cheering jealousy missable beings time to part ways and connect with positive strong energy out of the dark night into the light of day
with nothing more to do or say but part ways
Born And So Welded Into A Valiant Hero To Be Set Apart
Whatever marrow of manhood lieth in this courageous heart
surrounded by this weak flesh and jubilant searching soul
born and so welded into a valiant hero to be set apart
wherein living earth and Mother Nature dares sets its goal.
Robert J. Lindley, May 13th 1971

"That love, she the rare beauty never knew
nor the sweet taste of dawn and falling dew
upon the glowing flowers and green grass
Alas! My princess, your life set askew."
RJL 1971- quatrain
SNIPPET FROM ""THE FORGOTTEN FAIRY QUEEN""
My longest poem that was stolen and burned, in 1973
Holy hearts
Set apart
All bond, caught up
In emotions
Heart skins dried out need some lotion
Unsettled mine
Unredeemed time
Circumcised dreams themed nightmare
Harden skins dried out harden love
Loves not... need some lotion
Not at all bonded caught up
In unemotional set apart Holy heart

Set apart for God* and His teaching
I’m girded in my conviction’s zealousness;
Against indecency and worldliness...
He anchors my faith by constant preaching!
Set apart for God by His sovereignty
I’m uplifted in my humble submission;
Against haughtiness of selfish ambition…
He breaks my pride for me to overcome vanity!
Set apart for God along His wisdom
I’m corrected in my ignorance;
Against deceits’ grand appearance…
He guides my decisions for eternity’s kingdom!
Set apart for God upon His might
I’m propelled in my service-engagement;
Against fruitlessness causing faith’s detriment…
He blesses my labor with His approval’s delight!
*Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

A HARDEN HEART NOW SET APART SOFTENED-
All I had was a heart of stone;
My Father came along and molded it
Made it soft, softer than clay
Remade me whole, a better way
All I had was a cold, cold heart
Jesus came along and warmed it up
Now I am a part of His fresh warm breath
He placed me upon His chest
A harden heart now set apart softened
Once I had a stony heart
Made of stone and so ice cold
Elohim remade me new
Abba Father renew
Now with a heart of spirit
My heart eyes have been reviewed
Now I see things brand new
A harden heart now set apart softened
Remade me whole, a better way
He placed me upon His chest
Now I am a part of His fresh warm breath
My Father came along and remolded it,
Made it soft, my heart softer than clay
A harden heart now set apart softened

when the world says…
when the world says I am worthless,
You say I am worth it.
when the world says I am broken,
Your love makes me whole again.
When the world calls me weird
You call me Yours.
when the world says the sea is too deep,
You hold the waters back for me.
when the world says the flames will consume me
You are in the fire by my side.
when the world has me held captive in my sin,
Your cross says I am no longer a slave to sin.
when the world says,
Jesus says I have overcome the world!
