Do we ever fail
to tell someone

how much
they mean to us.

How sorry
a feeling,
that is,

as it was
always meant,

to be known.

As well as so many
other thoughts,
one has designs,

to share,
with those

that lay within
our minds,

embrace.

The intent being,
that of course,

tomorrow,

sweet tomorrow,

was always,

going to be that day
of the moment,

that while,
of our disclosure,

that instant,
of our,

revelation,

of our fondness,

for them.

The sad thing
about tomorrows

being,

is that sometimes,

they just,

never come.

It was never
going to be
the fear of dying

that terrorized
us so,

as it was
the unforgivable
feeling,

that we
never really

mattered

on this earth,

or even,
existed,

in the warmth,
of someone’s
smile,

or,

in the passion,

of their tear.

Lest we forget,
the fact

that just being alive,

makes us timeless,

in the consciousness,
of life,

and,

in the fragility,

of fate.

Such is,
the multitude
of all fear,

itself.

Our failure
to keep busy,
being born,

that we have
already,
engaged,

in the journey

of being,
extinct.

How so
very sad it is,

when our friends,

pass.

As it makes us
one less

person,

inside.

Life can depart
yes,

but never,
does end,

the relationship.

As anyone can die,

the real heroine
being the one,

who had the courage,

to live.

Yo Richy,

This would be more readable if it wasn't so spread out.

Richy - more great words from a great artist. I believe in sharing with a loved one each and every day how one feels. I have found life in too darn short to do otherwise...

And there, my friend, it seems you've been digging in my mind, bringing the deepest darkest to light. *S*

I really like this, Richy... you write many great truths and write them beautifully.

Dear Richy, you write 'smart' as well as you do 'sensual'! ~ Oh, and I also love your funny fun ones!

Warm hug and a big smile,

Uh huh, I love the wisdom and passion for life in this piece...

Love this part

Lest we forget,
the fact

that just being alive,

makes us timeless,

in the consciousness,
of life,

and,

in the fragility,

of fate.

Yeah, to live is the real answer to all the negatives.

Excellent Richy
