DON’T LISTEN TO THE VOICE

Will Ever Want You

And It Is
Very Sad
That You
Have Believed

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

Now is a snowflake
of time that lands
on your tongue

you feel it
you taste it
it was real
but then
it is gone 

I’M SORRY I MISSED YOU

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I’m sorry that I missed you
I know we would have been friends 

I would have liked to have shared
walking some of life’s pathway
with you
