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

UNDER THE SPELL OF A LOVER’S MOON

By Keza/Spiritedsoul And Charles Robert Lindholm

Under The Spell
Of A Lover’s Moon
Her Heart Was
Once Broken

With The Foolish
Dreams And Lies
Of Youth
And Young Love

She No Longer Cries
For What Was Lost
And Could Have Been
So Long Ago,
Except In The Midnight Light
Of A Lover’s Moon

When Forgotten
Memories Escape
Her Heart And
Invade Her Dreams

She Found
The Strength
Inside Her
Heart And Soul

To Stand Up 

To Forgive
To Forget
To Let Go
And To Move On

She Looked Around
And Found
A Different Path
For Her Life
That Is Her Own

The One She Shares
With Her Daughter

I’VE SEEN TOO MUCH – REPRISE

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I’ve seen what you
will never see,
again 

Your life is better

SHAME ON YOU

By Keza/Spiritedsoul And Charles Robert Lindholm/The Reluctant Poet

Your Words
Hurt Me,
Each One
A Pointed Dart

Aimed And Thrown
At My Heart
And Soul

Burning Words,
Like Hot Wax
Spit Upon My Skin

Your Actions
Showed Me Feelings
That Confused
My Tender Heart

Your Memories
Haunt Me
With Shadows
They Still Cast

Ever Present Ghosts
Whispering From The Past

Your Heart
Deceived Me
With Your Professed
Love

Like A Bee
You Fed
On Nectar
From My Flower

Promising
I Was Your
Only Lover

I Learned
That Was A Lie
When You Left Me
For Another

With No Good-Bye

I Still Hear Those
Ever Present Ghosts
Whispering From The Past

I WILL CARRY THE SCARS

By Keza/Spiritedsoul And Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet

How Can I Hold Him,
A Long Lost Lover,
Still Under My Skin,
A Devil At  Heart,

Returned To Haunt
And Seduce Me
With Passions
And Desire

Relighting
Old Embers
Into A Fire,
Now Raging
In My Soul

How Can I Hold Him,
While I Still Love You,
He,  
Is Nothing Like You

You’re So Loving And Kind
And Done Nothing Wrong
It Would Be Heartless And Cruel
For Me
To Let You Go,
And To Choose
Another

It Would Be So Difficult
To Tell You About Him
And What I’ve Done
When I Want To Let
Him Go

I Know I Will Carry
The Scars Of His Fire
In My Soul Forever

But,
I Will Suffer
With The Regret
And Pain
In Silence

No Words
Will Ever Be
Spoken

WHEN TIME HAS MENDED MY HUMPTY DUMPTY HEART

By Keza/Spiritedsoul And Charles Robert Lindholm

Why Does A Heart
That Loves
So Deeply,
Have To Suffer,
Have To Get Broken,
Once Again

Over And Over
Time After Time
Falling For Lovers
That Will Never
Stay Mine

It Can’t Keep Going
On This Way, When Can I Have One
That Won’t Walk Away

I Give My Heart
But When Will I I Learn,
That I Need To Have One,
In Return,
From One That Will
Love Me Forever

Too Many Memories
Still Stay In My Mind
Long Lost Lovers
From  A Far Away Time

Haunting My Dreams
And Whispering Lies
Bringing Back Heartaches
And Tears To My Eyes

How Long Must I Wait
For Time To Heal
The Scars And The Hurts
I’m Forced To Feel

No One Is Flawless
Least Of All Me,
But True Love
Accepts Us
And Let’s Us Be,
Loved
In Spite Of It All

And So I Hope,
My Lips Will Soon Kiss
My Forever Lover,
Once Time Has Mended
My Humpty Dumpty Heart

NO LONGER A FOOL

By Keza/Spiritedsoul And Charles Robert Lindholm – The Reluctant Poet

How Did I
Not Know
You Possessed
The Coldest Heart?

Your Sweet Words
Deceived Me
With Promises,
Tempting Me
To Believe

Your Fiery Passion,
Your Hungry Hands,
And Wild Desires,
And Lies About Love,
Hid The Truth

No Words Of Love
Or Warm Embrace
Will Erase
What I Have Learned,

I Am, No Longer A Fool

Now
Your Words
Are Barbed Wire Kisses
That Cut Me
To The Quick
And Leave
Me In Tears,

My Punishment
For Trusting You

I Seek Refuge
In The Darkest Corner
Of My Soul,
The Safest Place To Sit,
Far Away From You

Where I Can Wonder,
And Plan My Escape,
Into A Life
That Once Again
Is Mine

HE DOESN’T CARE!!

He
Doesn’t Care
If You Die
As Long As He’s
Re-Elected

Covid-19 Victims By The Thousands Have Died With No Words Of Sympathy Or Empathy From President Donald J. Trump.  No Message Of Comfort To America Or Acknowledgement That Faster And Decisive Action By Him Would Have Saved Tens Of Thousands Of Lives.

Families, Friends And Communities Across America Pay The Cruelest Price
For The Failure And Pride Of The Incompetent President that is Donald J. Trump!

I PRAY YOU HEAL

LEAVE IT IN GOD’S HANDS
