In A Love Letter


there is so much of me
in letters I perhaps
will never send
or you may never read
it does not mean that
there is less of you with me
at night I reach for stars
and stumble, leaving my prints
across lingering darkness
where velvet silence crushes me
and here in my binding
there is a thread
from my heart that
leads directly to you
do you think you are forgotten
never in neglect
always your heart’s echo
what inspires a bird’s wings
to shutter also frees
a heart to fly
if my words are later opened
I hope they be for you
in a love letter

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice

Dear Helen,

You couldn't have written a more beautiful love letter than this.

How nice it was to read you again.
Your words still have that special feel that touches the heart so softly.

So beautiful.
Rich

Very beautiful and sensitive, Helen, and yes, most decidedly soothing.

"there is a thread
from my heart that
leads directly to you"

I understand that all too well Helen.

Hope school is going well for you.
