That’s all

Two legs, that are columns, your roof of bone, blood, sinew,
housing your pantheon, your gods that were born from burnt meals,
falls off your bicycle, windows you leapt from, drainpipes
slid down, hearts your broke with unkind words, papers you tore
and launched off bridges you walked
in the night.

KINDRED SPIRITS

By Charles Robert Lindholm  

 

 

Even though

we’re Worlds Apart

 

 

 

 

 

our Hearts are

Bound and Tethered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with Unspoken Words

Still Understood

Halloween – Acrostic Poetry Challenge

Poetry challenge: Acrostic poem.



H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

Visions Overlooked

Magic words reveal themselves

From pages of a book

Written once, so long ago

These visions overlooked

Wandering Soul

Lost in the waves of yesterday’s sorrow

Longing to capture the dreams of tomorrow

Hidden Behind the Gray

The light stayed away
Hidden behind the grayest of gray
With darkness clouding the sky
All I can do is wonder why
This fear I cannot allay

Listen

Listen, do your hear them
The gentle sounds of spirits
Whispering softly
Among themselves
Listen! Do you hear it?

Human Hearts and Spirits

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the human heart can hold.”

…But if I might be so bold
While I don’t know the exact amount
From what I have found

Smiles

They warm my heart and spirits
And never go out of style
Like the beaming ones that couples show
As they walk together down the aisle

Nearly all are wonderful
But some mean so much more
Such as those from a loving family
When you walk through the front door.
