and the lovers that she’s known

and now she is alone

THEY ALL SEEMED TRUE

–MEMORIES OF THE PAST–

I don’t know why

I believed your lies

THE NIGHT CRIED

-Memories of the Past-

And the night cried
With a shower of tears
In torrents
When it learned
The truth about you
That you were leaving

FOREVER’S JUST A DREAM

unrippened with age

not wanting to wait

PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH YOU

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 I will stay with you
As long as you Let Me

As long as you want me

WAITING, SIMPLY WAITING (FOR YOU)

By Charles Robert Lindholm

A little forest cabin

Just off the beaten trail

It’s nothing grand or fancy

But it’s me in each detail

Sitting by the fire

I NEED LONGER DAYS

I need

longer days

to spend

with You

To admire the design

The wonder of the shape

And the beauty of the line

TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL — LOVE LETTERS #1

 

By Charles Robert Lindholm

My Dearest Darling-The Lover of My Soul,

As I sit here writing to You after all the intervening years since our time together I
am still so amazed and thankful that my memories of You and Us are as vivid as the
day we made them.

with me

in the feeling

Linger 

in the glow

to be chosen

ALL I EVER WANTED

All I ever wanted

was

what I found in you

YOU AND ME

about

You

Me

REAL TIME

Separated by time and space

denied the warmth of Her gentle embrace

Her words they kiss me, though I know

I will never touch Her face

THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOWS

By Charles Robert Lindholm

THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOWS

VARIES

FROM HUSTLE

AND BUSTLE

TO STILL LIFE

AND FROZEN

FROM MIDDAY

TO MIDNIGHT

FROM MOONLIGHT

TO DAYLIGHT

THOUGHTS

By Pratishruti Mohanty, Gina Gallyot and Charles Robert Lindholm

 

The past

was back to haunt her

with shadows

that bent over

and whispered your name

MORE THAN I DARE SAY

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I miss you so much

When you are gone away

Out of the reach of my arms

Out of touch with my soul

SHE HAD A SHY TONGUE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She had a shy tongue

before she met him

she was young, but not a child

unaware of lust and loving

CLINCHED HANDS CONNECTION

Another delicate duet of interweaving lines with a portion of “Holding My Breath” by My Friend, Singledust.  The lines I added are shown in bold.

 By Gina Gallyot and Charles Robert Lindholm

Holding my breath

building the passion

Awaiting the surge

from a massive crescendo

SHE STILL IS MOM TO ME: —— TO ALL THE MOMS – MOTHER OR NOT! (MY MOTHER’S DAY THANK YOU)

SHE STILL IS MOM TO ME

By Charles Robert Lindholm   

Our DNA is not the same

though we share the same last name

it doesn’t matter much to me

about our genealogy

I’M JEALOUS OF THE WORDS I WRITE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I’m jealous of the words I write

knowing they’ll be touching you

deep in your heart, while we’re apart

and I’m alone in the night without you

FLUENT IN YOUR SILENCE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

.

As I lie here in the darkness

and you utter not a word

A FITTING SYMBOL

By Charles Robert Lindholm

A helium balloon

rising in the air

a fitting symbol

for a heartfelt prayer

AN IMPROVISED LIFE

By Charles Robert Lindholm   

 An improvised life

no following footsteps

like the rest of us

it’s not what we’ve heard

professed to us

HER EYES

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Her eyes stare at mine

with an intimate contact,

THE BOND REMAINS UNBROKEN

By Charles Robert Lindholm

.

Though we’re worlds apart

The bond remains unbroken
