“A song she heard
Of cold that gathers
Like winter's tongue
Among the shadows
It rose like blackness
In the sky
That on volcano's
Vomit rise
A Stone of ruin
From burn to chill
Like black moonrise
Her voice fell still...”

“Someone smashed a flutterfler and without even thinking she touched her Stone and used Wyrd to piece its broken body back together. She filled its empty vessels with dreams and it became the stuff it used for blood. It brushed her cheek with its wings, then flew off -- dancing in the hot air.”

“How can I judge?" she said at last. "To me, he is a hero. To the world a monster." She let her head fall into her arms and started crying quietly. "I miss him! Curse him! I miss him!"
Mithorden put a hand on her shoulder and let her cry for a few minutes. A sad smile slowly spread across his face. "I'm glad you can forgive him," he said at last.
Luthiel lifted her head. "How do you know?"
Because you miss him.”

John Bailey - So Robert, what did they replace? Hope you're doing well all kidding aside.
The Memoirs of JR Holden is unique, in part, due to the humble nature of this star athlete. And the story he tells is one of hope, inspiration, faith, courage, and belief.
Give a try to the other Robert ;-)
Hi Robert! Thanks for adding me as a friend. I look forward to checking out your work and to passing it on to young readers.
Work on Nightmares continues :). Will probably be up late tonight. Thinking about releasing Reign back to back with it. We'll see! Also, there's another project on the way. Will keep you posted!
Hail Love, hail Love, because Love is divine
It is tender, it is beautiful and benign
What passion, what passion, we are burning like the sun
It is hidden and obscure, it is an obvious sign.
We’ve fallen, we’ve fallen, it is hard to rise up
We know not, we know not, this complex chaotic design.
زهی عشق، زهی عشق که ما راست خدایا
چه نغز است و چه خوب است و چه زیباست خدایا
چه گرمیم، چه گرمیم از این عشق چو خورشید
چه پنهان و چه پنهان و چه پیداست خدایا
فتادیم، فتادیم بدان سان که نخیزیم
ندانیم، ندانیم چه غوغاست خدایا
*********
Each breath is a song of love
From left and right, pass us by
We’ll return to the world above
Such fate no-one can defy.
We have come from the skies
Befriended angels in heaven
To the same place we will rise
To that city past skies seven.
We are above the skies
And angels we transcend
Why should we compromise?
The House of Songs is our end.
With good fortune may we live
Fate is contradictory,
Gladly our lives may we give
Worldly pride victory.
هر نفس آواز عشق میرسد از چپ و راست
ما به فلک میرویم عزم تماشا که راست
ما به فلک بودهایم یار ملک بودهایم
باز همان جا رویم جمله که آن شهر ماست
خود ز فلک برتریم وز ملک افزونتریم
زین دو چرا نگذریم منزل ما کبریاست
گوهر پاک از کجا عالم خاک از کجا
بر چه فرود آمدیت بار کنید این چه جاست
*******
Go to sleep
Leave me alone
At nights I leap
Up, on my own.
With waves of desire
Day and night, all alone
Compassion inspire
Else vengeful fits are thrown.
From me run away
Afflictions I’ve sown
For wholeness must pray
Else hardships are grown.
رو سر بنه ببــــالین تنهــــا مـــرا رهـــا کـــــن
ترک من خـــــراب شبگرد مبتـــــــــلا کــــــن
مایم و مــــوج ســودا شب تــــا بروز تنـــهــــا
خـــــواهی بیا ببخشاء خـــواهــی برو جفا کــن
از من گـــریــز تـــا تو هـــم در بــــلا نیفتــــی
بگزین ره سلامت تــــــرک ره بـــــلا کــــــــن
*********
I need a lover and a friend
All friendships you transcend
And impotent I remain
You are Noah and the Ark
You are the light and the dark
Behind the veil I remain
You are passion and are rage
You are the bird and the cage
Lost in flight I remain
You are the wine and the cup
You are the ocean and the drop
While afloat I remain
یار مرا غار مرا عشق جگرخوار مرا
یار تویی غار تویی خواجه نگهدار مرا
نوح تویی روح تویی فاتح و مفتوح تویی
سینه مشروح تویی بر در اسرار مرا
نور تویی سور تویی دولت منصور تویی
مرغ که طور تویی خسته به منقار مرا
قطره تویی بحر تویی لطف تویی قهر تویی
قند تویی زهر تویی بیش میازار مرا
*******
Upon which path did I tread
So I return, all else I dread;
From Beloved being apart
In the creed of Love is being misled.
If I find another in the whole town
Ain’t but a sign pointing to the Beloved.
I said this is no easy path
In each step a thousand traps spread
آن ره که من آمدم کدامست ای دل
تا باز روم که کار خامست ای دل
در هر گامی هزار دامست ای دل
نامردان را عشق حرامست ای دل
اندر همه شهر اگر کسی هست
والله که اشارتی تمامست
گفتم که مگر رهیست آسان
در هر قدمی هزار دامست
********
Alas that beautiful beloved where hence?
Alas that graceful Goddess where hence?
In our midst like a candle brightly shone
Where hence, alas, without us where hence?
Like a shivering leaf my heart constantly moan
Beloved left at midnight, where hence?
عجب آن دلبر زیبا کجا شد
عجب آن سرو خوش بالا کجا شد
میان ما چو شمعی نور میداد
کجا شد ای عجب بیما کجا شد
دلم چون برگ میلرزد همه روز
که دلبر نیم شب تنها کجا
FROM Rumi

I just read the Foreword to The War of Mists, and I wanted to stop and say thank you before I kept reading. Although I've been blessed to grow up in a very liberal family, with friends and colleagues who are compassionate and open-minded, there are many wonderful people who haven't had that experience. I hope this book finds its way into their hands, because I know that if it does, they will find the world an easier, brighter place to be.
Just getting back in the swing of things after surgery! Thanks for all the kind notes and well-wishing!--Rob
Hi!
Thanks for the add.
I see that you're a high-fantasy writer, my favourite genre ^_^
I'll be looking forward to have your books here in Indonesia & wish you the best of luck with your books. :)
Thank you for the request. I will have to check out your books. I saw that you too have read some of Riane Eisler's books =).~Ashley
Thanks for the add. Your books look very interesting and I can't wait to start reading some of them.
Thanks for the request. I'm looking forward to reading your books. Also I noticed while looking at both your to read and read bookshelfs that we have similar tastes in books.

Hi Robert! Thanks for the friend request. Our book lists sure cross in some weird places :) I put your books on my TBR pile. They look intriguing.
Hi Robert! Thanks for being my friend. I'm enjoying reading Concrete River Boulevard very much, I just love reading poetry.
thaks for the nice add. i like ur photo too! *look nice :p*
im looking forward to ur book, not translated in Indonesia yet.
Thanks, if only I had time to read them all! Your book looks great; I just put it on my to-read list. Honestly not sure when I'll get to it, but after I do I'll let you know. =)
Hello there! I've been meaning to read your books for a very long time but unfortunately I still haven't gotten to it!
I know I'll love them, though!
Keep writing!! :)
Hi Robert dropped by to see what is new with you. I would like to invite you to check out Shadow Forrest Authors for charity and help support illiteracy issues. We also have a SFA group here on goodreads. Have a great week.
Blessing CJ
Thanks for the "friending" request- I don't know your books yet, but they look like the sort I would enjoy! I review for curled up dot com, and if I managed to get my hands on a copy of the first in the series, I'll see about letting you know what I think! Btw, big fan of Maine Coons, especially the opinionated sort- good man! :)
Thanks! I am reading through your books and it's looking like once I catch up on all the books I am reading to review, I need to read and review yours! I love a good fantasy!
haha I've actually only read the first chapter because I thought I should spend more time on Love in the Time of Cholera but I'll pick it up again soon, probably sometime this week.
hi, robert!!!
I'm so happy to be your friend, our favorite authors are the same :3
i want to read your novel soon..
have a great day :D
