A FAVOR

By Charles Robert Lindholm

It’s Really Quite A Favor
Though At Times It’s Hard To See
It Took Awhile To See The Light
When The Message Came To Me

Never

.

Never Forget

To Never Recollect

The Never in Ever

That might Reflect

Vigilance

.

Sharp as flint

In mists of Shallow Haze,

Unbroken glass

Upon the Bluster of Days;

The Void

.

Prisoner in this mind,

With fears and doubts rampantly running,

Screams echoing in the tumbling darkness

As I grope and claw for Light,

For Breath,

Reassurance

.

Reassurance Speaks

Strength: No Escape

my truth, complete, indivisible
no thirst, no doubt, no yearn
it stands by itself, for itself
no misgivings, no speculation

The Black Serpent

This is dedicated to all survivors of the black serpent of depression and those now in its terrible grip.

May you find peace, love, light, and freedom.  Know that you aren’t alone, and that you are loved.

 

The Black Serpent

 

The black serpent

Cunning and vicious

Strikes quickly

Or patiently

Pulls me in

An inch at a time.

Fangs pump poison

Self-loathing, fear,

Shame, and doubt.

Haiku:Humanity’s Hope

Humanity’s hope

Gone in our own fears, doubt, gloom

Our idleness

In continuation of TJT and SMT’s poems 🙂

No Doubt

I have
No doubt
That it
Is when
I look
Within
That I
Will thrive
Without
–Russ Towne

The Girl with no Name.

 

Heart strings taught,

Each finger strums a gut wrenching pang.

Voids are limitless,

Screams are deafening.

Black shadows crowd deserted hall ways.

My loneliness clings to every surface.

I’m drowning in my own pool of doubt.

Doubt

You are happy and joyful,

in your mind comfortably sorted.

You know what your decisions are,

and the hurdles you have thwarted.
