The sky has shed its skin, letting it hang in the air on a coastline. The light is sunny side up on the plateau of day as the bacon, sizzles above the flames of the range. Crows, stamping footprints on the outside of eyes, as blushing grapes worry about wrinkles and crushed hopes. Raisin their sugar levels sweetly, praying to be martyred by the sole to the spirit, into a cellar of smiles and tear. As the wind holds tender a bird, in the palm of its breath. Where are you this morning? Where did, your heart break this fast of hunger, and slumber. Has the sun slithered into your bedroom sharing its warmth, as it slips, in behind you. Reaching around kneading you into the daily bred of provender and nourishment becoming within, your staff of life. Drink of me full and brimming this dayspring, as I melt the biting nip, of your innermore. Cover my hearing tight with muscled pillows soft protruding from you that I torso, throughout the night, so we can both succeed and nurse, our gardens of posy and stem that swells and ripens into the fruit of your skin and the breath, of your milk. The shore of your dune surging, to the muffled sapphire, of my sky. |

you've outdone yourself...the only difficulty in reading your work is deciding which part I will like best...I agree with Margherita on this: "As the wind holds tender a bird, in the palm of its breath." ...I, too found my breath being taken away by the sheer elegance of these lines...such a pleasure to read |

May all our mornings be as glorious! Richard, I find all of your poetry to be captivating, engaging, highly visual, extraordinarily sensual, and very intriguing! I enjoy drowning in the sensations that your words erupt in me.  Giving you an appreciative hug, Linda |
