I was suff'ring from cold, her hand
which felt so soft was in my hand;
Her company was so pleasant:
'God! Stop the time!' was heart's demand.
Time passed quickly as could be,
Looking at her face I didn't feel;
She had to leave at eight O'clock,
This was the gash that could not heal.
Time did not stop, she pick'd her bag,
My feelings with thorny bands roped;
She kiss'd my lips; said, "Get well soon!",
And left at eight, the time stopped.

Intense and absurd is the ecstatic sorrow of Fall,
Could it be ephemeral craze or the rust within my mind?
Easeful summers and beatific springs placate my angst…
Balmy feral winters palliate my soul and my sense, yet
Eylul remains the ufindable season of my earthly craze.
Ruthless is the depth of the iceberg that depletes my sense!
Greenish and yellowish leaves are now under my feet, and
Estival budding love still haunts my restive, whimsical heart.
Into love-ish whims I subterfuge blasé of the yesteryears,
Haply my ephemeral insanity becomes his sane lunacy,
And all that comes along is but proof of humane lucidity.
I soon becomes us and the magical bond dispels my fears.
Is it a mere reverie or am I back to my olden deferred dreams?
Easeful is the thought of his shady iceberge in the daylight,
Yet the nocturnal darkishness it is not saccharine as it seems,
Still into love-ish whims I subterfuge blasé of lunatic insanity.

Hello?
Anybody there?
Helloooo?
Of course, no one answers when I beckon
Spirit so fragmented, half of it probably traveled to Mars I reckon
Jumped on the 7:20 shuttle and left me at Armageddon
Never been religious up until now
But now I’m praying to the Heavens for a blessing
Did that irresponsible swine want to teach me a lesson?
How do I fend for myself when parts of me are missing?
Do these walls talk when the giggles lessen?
These thoughts becoming stifled by my regression
Why didn’t I get the memo about this untimely session?
Young and vibrant I used to be
Now look how withered is she
Happiness is unfortunately never a guarantee
I should’ve cherished those moments when I was free
Free of these chains
Free of this pain
Hanging on to anything that can keep me sane
Now half my body took a trip to Maine
Un-whole and unbecoming, I slowly disappear into the mundane

Thirsty rain smooches ground keenly,
sprinkles love to turn it fertile land.
Flowers blush gazing at their deep foreplay
and pretend to fall asleep
providing privacy.
Wind flatters as a bracing feather blanket,
waltzing diligently to their melodic rhythm;
Whole night relishes playing hide and seek,
willingly colliding with trees to create fun;
Wishing them good luck for intimate night,
with wavering smile carried aroma around..
birds and animals
are in slumber unaware ...
dawn enters early

About the state of hearts fluctuating in flame
Without desires - dreams - but youths to die
The world has narrowed us in worries
The flower of roses wither & die young
& the arrows of misfortunes cut through ribs
Let the curvature of our souls have mercy
In spite of it scars & beauties
the raptors are bereaved
Sorrows do not rest for they're many
Night pass & death is never postponed on us anymore
O youths - speed up your decision - life is short
The full moon is gone & the stars will regress
Let fold the years & continue before we fall

Someday when my land is more fertile
And my gardener is ready to toil
I shall welcome you my precious flower
And nurture you in my soil
Faced with responsibility and emotion
Humbled by the reality of obligation
I am compelled to be a coward
Too afraid to make you my own
I am a poor and naive flowerpot
Lacking the nutrients to keep a flower
I own no tool to make your bed
Or gold enough to maintain your petals
So, keep you away I must for now
To embark on making life better
Soon on a finer day you shall return
Under a more suitable weather
For someday, my dearest one
When I am brave enough to hold you
I shall love and keep you in my bosom
And grow you with care to blossom

A Sweet Child's Untimely Death
Windswept leaves blown upon abandoned house doorstep
there rests in peace, as if morning mail.
Driveway empty aside from one old red broken tricycle, remnants left behind by the last family living there after the death of their child.
Alas, Fate created this lonely and tragic scene, with its sorrows now flown far away.
Chill breeze attacks the trees as if to say, sorrows are here and her they will stay,
for their child exists no more.
Exists no more, echoing savagely - she exists no more!
A sweet child's untimely death. Reality's naked and almost unbearable truth.
Robert J. Lindley, 8-10-2018
Free verse, (Based upon a very old tragedy many decades ago)
Note: Oft reality curses and seems to be an unbearable state to have to endure. Yet in this realm Fate, Time, Reality and Death are all-powerful commanders on a ship speeding across the universe. Only stop to get off of it -- is death...

Thirty four years ago life as I knew it would change forever. The chimes you may hear are annoying sound of music. But as the wind blows the chimes make a noise, I hear your voice. The wind is comforting to me as if your arms are wrapped around me. Your untimely death has changed us. We can no longer believe in humanity. Thirty four years ago your untimely death happened, You were ripped away so suddenly that till this day its all a bad nightmare. A nightmare knowing your were full of life and than killed to cause your untimely death.

You've been gone for a decade, plus two
Remission you were already in when met
Recently learned the truth
Why did you decide to not inform me?
Did you think I would just walk away?
I would've never forsaken you
My love would never allow me to
I refuse to accept that the choice was just your's
You wanted to feel if "hope" wasn't available
You didn't want to go through it alone.
I understand.
I couldn't sleep on our bed
So it was the floor I chose
When I found out that very night
You were really gone
Forever?
Yes, people in my life have passed
Yet I've never dealt with a loss like this
For every child who laughs
I pray it's you that has received your wings.
My heart still cries from time to time
Enough to flood my soul
Why did you have to go?
I hope when you look down from above
You'd see me and please smile
Know in the very depths of my heart
No matter what...
You'll always be thought of and missed.

I gaped my silence to take a look
And I caught the world reading me like a book
I tested my reality in a mere luck”
Allowing my emotions run a muck
I rendered my beliefs to those anecdotal season
For happiness had no reason
It was rather a feeling.
My heart feeling my nostalgia cried emotionally out loud
Only soon to realize they are all just a mere passing cloud
It was a mere pain to be on my little turf
Under the blue moon to release like a smurf
It took me a lifetime to burst into originality
For all I had to do was accept the painful reality
I turned my mind back into my imagination
Where my complete happiness was still in probation
For happiness was not a reason
It was rather a feeling...

My Neighbors Untimely Demise
Upon a late and dismal night, I sat to drinking, full of spite, my glass by me was drained, the jack and coke now pre ordained by me to empty whilst it poured outside, that frigid autumn sky.
A problem, seemingly absurd yet twas the way in which I’d heard and not the just of it that burned itself into my angry brain. A simple string of little words but strung together so absurd-ly as to challenge my refrain,
Twas not the intention nor the prose, but more the delivery of the note, the way in which the note had got me.
Not by post or word from tongue but tied to brick through window flung, sent shattered glass around my flat, bounced off my boot and spooked the cat.
As I recovered my shock and plucked the note and weighty block. My eyes did fairly smolder a look of death I’m certain took over, as the words I did take in, did turn red, my facial skin.
For you see this note with bricked weight was not for my eyes to partake but the gal next doors unlucky mate.
The married man had spurned a lover, and spurned, she retorted but hit her brother.

Wearing a baseball cap I strolled
into town beneath a summer's sky.
She looked this way - that brunette,
now I'm wearing a smile as well.
The leaves of the oak were faded green
while near the roots tiny flowers bloomed.
In her hand was one such flower.
Yellow? Red? I couldn't tell you.
The river underneath the bridge
was rushing fast over pebbles,
people came this way and that.
Two water droplets - we never met again.

There once was a man in tight blue jeans.
Whose woman was covered in sunscreens.
She rested her slipper
on top of his zipper.
Which caused a quick swelling of man veins!!
