NOT MEANT TO BE

By Bree Leto – Secret Thoughts Within and Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet

There are many things you can’t control

Your heart

Another’s heart

no matter how much you might want to

It is a fact of life that

hopes and wishes

dreams and prayers

don’t always happen or come to pass

We may have relationships and love

that we have always dreamed of

but sometimes

happenstance

fate or luck

intervene and force a change

to our plans and choices

Not all relationships

are meant to be forever

sometimes they are only meant

to be for awhile

There may be many things you can’t control

but there are some things you can

Maybe it’s time to dream a new dream

It might be time to

move on

forgive and forget

let go

and follow your own pathway

into a new and better life

I DON’T KNOW WHY

By Bree Leto – Secretthoughtswithin And
Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet

I’m not sure why
I keep on changing
like I do

I don’t know
if it’s good or bad
I really wish I knew.

I fear with all these changes
taking place inside of me,
others will only notice
the outer side they see.

I wish I understood
what was meant to be,
what’s the point in changing
if you don’t change with me.

Take my hand, my love,

we can grow together.
I will grow
and you will grow,
by my side

FOREVER.

SOMETIMES THERE IS NO FOREVER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Sometimes Things
Aren’t Meant To Last Forever
And We Are Just Supposed
To Love The Moments,
Save The Memories,

LOVE NOTES

There Are Many
That Will Walk With You

Some For Awhile,
And Others Who Will
Want To Journey
With You For A Lifetime,

WE ARE LIKE BUTTERFLIES

A RUNAWAY LOVER

A RUNAWAY LOVER
By Charles Robert Lindholm

She was always better at running away
from the intimacies created by connecting
sexually and emotionally than wanting to stay
for a chance to see if love and commitment
would grow into forever

brought into my life 

THE FOREVER OF INK

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I have not placed
ink on my skin
for everyone to see
the forever of ink
is on my heart
and on my soul
and only for me to see 

THE CRUELEST FATE

The cruelest fate
I can think of
is to live a life
without you 

To face each
day alone

THE SECRET

always leave them wanting more
no tears, no crying or sad goodbye
just whispered words, a warm caress
and a kiss they’ll long for ‘til they die
