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.

Softly Each Night

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.

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

Teary eyes with Muffled cries

Strength lost and Hope dies

 “In your light I learn how to love, In your beauty, I learn how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”                                                           

                                                                                               – Rumi

Poetry =

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

SLOW LEARNER AT LOVE

The Problem Seems To Be
That It’s Hard For Me To See
An Earthquake As My
Responsibility

Am I To Blame
When My Life
Comes Tumbling
And Crumbling
Down
Like Jenga
Pieces
