waking up in the morning
to find bright light on the face,
there are birds chirping near the window
and in the next scene water dripping from the faucet
the silence i feel in the countryside feels
bigger than the world out there lying-
awaiting for me to step outside
and nothing else but to watch buildings?
ravishing summer morning,
a reminder to go out and
play by the river or
spend the whole season listening to music
Virtuous she is, the strength she holds,
Erratic she be, but beautiful is thee,
Ravishing art thee, she is a dream,
Opportune you shall scin, you’ll be;
Neat till death do us part, mi amor
Idyllic she be, like no other,
Contagious her smile be, beautiful is thee,
Angelic her beauty, like no other.
Veil of midnight, shroud of ache,
A hollow heart begins to wake,
Unfed, unwhole, in shadow curled,
Craving life within this world.
A wraith unseen yet bound to thirst,
The agony—a wicked curse,
Flesh untouched but essence bled,
Hungering for what is shed.
Through trembling dark and frigid moan,
I grasp at souls, yet stand alone,
Each stolen breath a fleeting glow,
Still starving deep in depths below.
Ravishing grimness, wretched plight,
A suffering that breeds delight,
To drink, to drain, to taste the soul,
To feel—then lose—control.
In tortured pangs, my hollow cries,
A thirst that burns, that never dies,
No blood will sate, no flesh repair,
Only whispers in the air.
The void consumes, yet I remain,
Bound by hunger, wracked with pain,
A phantom lost, unseen, yet near,
Feeding off your trembling fear.
And when the night betrays the dawn,
Another voice—another gone,
A feast of echoes, dimly bright,
Devoured whole before the light.

She daydreamed of his body, so strong.
Now was that really so morally wrong?
A man with shining, ripped, physicality
And eyes as inviting, as the green, deep sea.
Recalling their splendid nights together.
Nights absent of any of innocent demeanor.
Unbridled passion, twas a magic hook.
All published one day in a poetry book!
Readers eager to relive vividly their heat?
Ah, their passions, one day shall surely meet!
Drizzling, dazzling
splinters of diamond
Shards of crystal
or liquidized glass!
Transparent drops
from a translucent sky.
Ooh, that lucid lustre:
No wonder they say,
there's something sexy about the rain
Atleast it does seem to drive
dripping lovers insane.
And then as if frenzied, suddenly excited
the drizzle converts into a heavy downpour
as thunders bellow and thunders roar
as rivers swell and rivers soar.
Rain battering our rooftop
like needless war drums
or heedless bass drums
The heavens having opened
to announce a cloud burst
Till it's said to be raining cats and dogs
or more realistically, fishes and frogs!
O' God bless the nimbus
Those soaking cotton wool puffs in the sky
Those candy floss rainclouds sailing by.
Ravishing beauty
You've got that sexy allure
Wishing you were here with me
My sweetly scented April flower
You are my rose
It's you my heart sings to
My magic dove My lovely
You've got everything I want
And more of what I need
I am sate in my rectitude
Positively replete because of you
Those the kisses of her heart ravishes my soul~

A Ravishing Beauty Of Grace And Charm.
.
Born into luxury and decadence
A ravishing beauty of grace and charm
Who many a young lovelorn suitor
Longed to be betrothed and have on his arm
.
Her delicate beauty shone like a beacon of light
The most beautiful in the ballroom
And like a sparkling diamond
Catching everyone's sight
.
Her perfume wafted so fragrant and sweet
As bunches of roses placed by her royal feet
The presence of an angel
As cunning as a fox
A paragon of sublime beauty
With cascading flowing locks
.
A sheltered life she did have
Her heart in limbo
And incredibly sad
As her future
Incredibly sad
,
A preconscious flower
That evil devoured
By a revolutionary
Bitter peoples unleashed
Power.

There are three things today I mustn't forget
Forgotten the first two, the third is to do yet
I know... I remember
Must wear my dentures
To look like one of those ravishing majorettes
She Such A Ravishing Sweet Georgia Peach
I at naked horror of truth laid bare
loved her, beauty with long raven hair,
that magnificent grace of her sweet soul
those long, curly tresses blacker than coal
yet such a goddess was beyond my reach,
she such a ravishing sweet Georgia peach!
I once found the courage to ask her out
to taker her to the fair, show her about
sadly she was that day flying abroad
twas' Fate or else a timing most flawed
kissing me soft as she walked away
saying, for thy soul I shall this day pray!
I at naked horror of truth laid bare.
Loved her, beauty with long raven hair.
R.J. Lindley, Sept 9th. 1979
Sonnet, ( She of majestic beauty, kindness and grace )
Old Note:
(Fate continues its war upon this struggling soul)
New Note:
Fate and I have fiercely battled for well over 50 years
All through those years, I've suffered heartaches and tears
Yet a blessed and deserved recompense finally at last came
Now aged and a bit wiser, this declawed lion 'tis truly tame.
N-ew morn is a ravishing view,
A-fter the dusk and twilight;
R-ise of the sun is striking,
D-awn is a welcome
S-ight.
Y-earn to see the ravishing view,
A-t the top of the mountain;
G-et into the summit,
U-se your eyes wide open.
E-arly tenth of February, behold the ocean blue;
L-ook at the flying fish, enjoy the ravishing view.

I love you, you know who you are.
But forgive me if I over adore you, my diamond star.
A Ravishing fantasy is given from a rose.
But Tell me my darling dear,
Will you be waiting here?
For Your presence is like a magnet attracting me,
Pulling me to fall for your Soul's grace more beautiful than an Angel's face.
When our lips collide, it's as though light breaks through my lonely night.
So tell me my darling dear,
Will you be waiting here?
For now we are alone, together as beautiful silence surrounds us,
Even confounding us of why we waited so long for each other.
And we enter into early morning promenades
As we see soothing colors the daylight arrays,
But darling do you hear me calling?
For I feel like falling.
Gracefully descending into the flowers of our love blossoming.
Now I tell you my darling dear,
If so ever I am far, I will ride on the wings of the wind to be where you are.
There are three things today I mustn't forget
I've forgotten the first two, the third is to do yet
I know... I remember
Must wear my dentures
To be considered as a ravishing majorette
