COWARDLY CONFESSIONS
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Do not sin and betray the trust of your lover,
but if you have or if you do,
you must keep silent
and bear the burden
alone – forever
the pain and the shame is yours to bear
in silence to the grave
Do not be the whimpering coward
or the heartless monster
that longs to confess and
seek forgiveness
from the one you betrayed
do not worsen the injury
and wrong by revealing it
Do not destroy the love and trust
your lover still has for you
even though you know
you don’t deserve it
even though you have betrayed it
just so you can escape the mental torment
of your sin with their forgiveness
Your confession and request for forgiveness
would be just as cruel as your betrayal
keep silent and live with the knowledge
of your betrayal
do not stain the soul
and break the heart of your beloved
with your cowardly and pathetic confession
Have the courage and strength
to withstand your soul’s contempt

National Dive Bar Day
Artwork by Donnie Purcell
A dive bar is an unpretentious, dimly lit neighborhood watering hole known for cheap, simple drinks, cash-only policies, and dated, worn-in decor. These bars typically cater to a loyal, local clientele and feature a relaxed, “come-as-you-are” atmosphere rather than upscale aesthetics or craft cocktails. – Google AI Overview

IT WAS FLEETING
By Charles Robert Lindholm
It was fleeting
but it was wonderful
like a comet
through my life
A love to last a lifetime
but only as a memory
of the season we shared
together in love
With summer breezes
and starry nights
and ocean waves
breaking on the shore
We loved the days
and nights away
with a burning passion
until they disappeared
It was a once
in a lifetime love
and my heart
and soul remembers
Sweet kisses
and the rush of oneness
with you
and precious moments
from a love that was
meant to be
but not
forever
It was fleeting
but it was wonderful
a Comet of Love
in my life
that was
mine
for awhile

National Disco Day
National Disco Day is celebrated annually on July 2. The holiday serves as a vibrant tribute to the pulsating rhythms, glitzy fashion, and cultural impact of the 1970s disco movement. Saturday Night Fever is tightly interwoven with the legacy of National Disco Day. While disco originally emerged in the early 1970s from underground urban and marginalized club scenes in New York City, the December 1977 release of Saturday Night Fever catapulted the genre into a massive, multi-platinum global phenomenon. – Google AI Overview

Waiting For The Open Door To Open
For some it is a welcomed door.
For some it is a block
that keeps them searching more and more
though it is there, an opened door,
and no one needs to knock.
