As Snowflakes From The Universe

From The First Time
I Laid Eyes On You

That Moment

Of Me Loving You

Buried deep inside
In a corner dark
Lurks the monster
Trying to rip my soul apart.

I STRUGGLE TO WRITE IN CURSIVE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

A Simple
Thoughtless
And Automatic Act
When I Was Young
But Not Now
The Years
And Tears
Have Changed That

Meanings

your words held their breath
as tight as an intrepid bud

HER PLUNDERING TONGUE

In A Playful Moment
She Caught Me
Totally Off Guard
With A Blindside Kiss

He Seduced Me
With Lies
Sweeter Than Honey

He Whispered

There Is No Physical Need
For Me To Have All The Room

SHE PLUNDERED MY HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Plundered My Heart
So Easily
It Was Not Locked
Or Hidden Away
Because I Trusted Her

The Four Chambered Heart

Now, where are the words
The heart needs?
Sort through its four chambers
To mix blood for the body to keep moving,
If not forward,
Any motion is better than none.

From chamber to chamber
Soft walls,
Trim dangles,
Ceiling cracked,
Windows frosted with dust.
These images attract hope.

UNWANTED THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES

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

Shadows
Creeping
Onto The Walls
Chasing
The Light Away

THE WHISPERS OF MY MUSE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

My Muse
Whispers
Softly To My Soul
Reassuring Me Of Her Love
And Commitment

Take A Step

I am never sure where my mind will wander
At times I feel that I am in complete control
Other times it wanders as if it was not mine
Leading me on a journey into a black hole.

Standing Under Understanding

 
 

We can try as hard as we might to comprehend life
Dreams always seem to be goals worth our pursuing
However feelings always seem to get in the path
As we struggle to get to the point of understanding.

YOU KNOW MY HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Heard Me
Reaching Out To Her
With The Words
I Whispered
Softly Each Night

A FIRE WITHIN ME

By Charles Robert Lindholm

There’s A Yearning
Burning
Fire Within

LOVE NOTES

By Charles Robert Lindholm

There Are Many
That Will Walk With You
As You Travel Your
Chosen Path In Life
Some For Awhile,
And Others Who Will
Want To Journey
With You For A Lifetime,

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

Thoughtless

The mind is a tool that should never stop working
Yet all too often rather than listen and take heed
We choose to ignore the warnings it tries to give
Believing that the heart knows better what we need.

A SHOOTING STAR

By Charles Robert Lindholm

She Was Meant To Be

A Shooting Star In My Life

LOVE NEVER DIES

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Love Never Dies
Though You Think It Has
You’ve Tried To
Kill Off Past Loves
And Memories
And It Seems
Successful

HER MOSAIC HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

He Left Her
With Her Heart
In Pieces On The Floor
Shattered In The Moment
He Said, “I Don’t Love You Anymore”

She Sat Alone In Darkness,
In Silence And With Tears
And Finally Found The Pieces
She Had Searched For Through The Years

She Rescued All The Pieces
Left Lying On The Floor
Her Heart’s No Longer Fragile
It’s Stronger Than Before
