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

AN AWAKENING TOUCH
By Bree Leto – Secretthoughtswithin and
Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet
Our first touch–
with only your fingers
slowly brushing my hand
sent an extraordinary
jolt of electricity,
through my whole body
that I had never felt before.
The twinkle
in your eye
sparked imaginings
that lit up my soul
The smile on your lips
whispered to my heart
making its beating race
as a blush showed
upon my face
An unintended touch
that somehow came to be
as your fingers brushed my hand
and awoke a part of me
I never knew
was waiting there
I shared a touch of the new
and a lingering stare with you
and hoped
for more

A RAINBOW’S PROMISE
By Keza – Spiritedsoul and Charles Robert Lindholm
Resistance Is A Self Taught Way
A Means Of Self-Defense
To Stay True To Oneself
And What One Believes
A Wall, A Shield
Preventing Being
Caught Up In Messes Made By Others
My Mind Is Full Of Dreams,
Visions And Memories
Replaying Them
Over And Over Again
In My Head
What Once Was,
No Longer Exists,
There Is Only Ashes
Left Behind From Miserable Days
But I Resist
Lies And Hopelessness
Knowing Darkness Will End
When The Light Of Truth Shines
And Rainbows Promise
Better Days
And Hope
