SOMETHING BETTER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Spent So Many Years
Wishing And Dreaming Of
Something Better
Than What She Thought
She Had

She Had A Restless Heart
That Always Hungered
For More,

Bubble Dreams

Newton Ranaweera

I was there yesterday;
I am here today.
I was with them yesterday;
I am alone here today.

We long for things,
to see who we love
and to touch what we love.

MESSAGES MEANT FOR YOU

By Gina Gallyot And Charles Robert Lindholm

Between The Secrets And The Sadness
Hidden In Cracks And Crevices
And In The Shadows
Of The Spaces
Between Lines Of Poetry
Are Messages
Meant For You

I COULD SLEEP IN A SMALLER BED

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Could Sleep In A Smaller Bed
There Is No Physical Need
For Me To Have All The Room
Provided By A King Size Bed

Faith, Creation and Creator

First posted on http://www.fleetingmuse.wordpress.com on May 15,2018

Rose is a rose
By any other name
Creator, not sanctioned by
One’s own faith
Why is not the same

A Mother’s Dreams

Your dreams do not predict the future,
Be relieved they process the past
So you can function this morning.
Your fear still burns
The sweet blood in your veins,
It contaminates your heart.

UNWANTED THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Sit Alone
In The Silence
Of Another
Day Ending
In The Midst
Of A Darkening
Room

Shadows
Creeping
Onto The Walls
Chasing
The Light Away

UNINVITED MEMORIES

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Have My
Favorite Memories
I Always Remember
To Take Along
When I Dream

IF ONLY FOR AWHILE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Often Wonder
Wistfully,
Why It Had To Be
The Way It Was

A Chance Meeting
A Sudden Attraction
And Passions
That Set Off

Daydreams

Every so often
life with a glance
throws a left-field
by happen or stance
which fortune might leave
to whimsey or chance
but with arms open wide
twirls round in a dance

Letters

Sheltered Rhymes

Heard the words from your mouth,

That all things either end or head south;

After forgetting about the moment hear and now

Neglecting the good, golden rays falling upon the brow

MEMORIES I KEEP OF HER

By Midwest Fantasy and Charles Robert Lindholm

Some Love Stories
Are Short Stories,

Too Hot, Too Wild
And Passionate
To Last Longer
Than A Comet
Speeding Across
The Night Sky

And If I Wrote
Ours Down
For You To Read
You Could Reread It
As Many Times
As You Want

I Rise Again

“How can you rise if you have never burned? Ever baked a cake?”

Off life when you take

Dreams what you make

Fears that shake

Those tears can’t be fake.

We dream of yellow (revisited)

4 of 6 in the Jemverse ‘Yellow’ series

In the gun-metal grey of midwinter
When cold grips vice-like
and, huddled in blankets
we stay cocooned in the warmth
of a fruitcake and hot tea afternoon
and dream of yellow

HAIKU: CRUMPLED PAPER SWISH

By Charles Robert Lindholm

When I Have Failures

THE MOON KNOWS ALL MY SECRETS

By Charles Robert Lindholm

The Moon Knows All My Secrets

Since I Was A Child
It Has Been The One
I Whisper My Wishes
And My Fears To

It Has Seen
All My Sins

HAIKU: I SURVIVE THE PAIN

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I Survive The Pain  

ADDICTED TO INK

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I don’t set fires
I don’t spray graffiti on walls
I’m not into
lying
cheating
stealing

BUT,
