Down the cliffs and to the sands,
is where I walked with empty hands.

But calm was the sea
that still afternoon,
as she pooled behind her curvature
and pondered,
and then,

withdrew.

She hadn’t feel,
to come to me,
and so she slowly lifted her tide,
pulling back,

and, looked away.

Perhaps she didn’t want
to disappoint.

Perchance she just wanted
to hold back the bottled message
I threw,
for just a little bit,
longer.

Or maybe,
our bodies celestial,
just needed to get,

a little bit
more aligned,
and closer.

And so I stood there,

drowning,

in time,

a time with no owner,

just grinning at future’s
drollery,

with nothing
but me,

and passion’s patience,

and,
the balmy hush,


of my beautiful,
Blue sea.

Nothing is as far away
as,
one moment
ago.

No the beginning
of light,

nor,
the end of darkness


how many
seconds
do we have left,
for our all,

together


How many precious breaths
that we’ve been given,
will be wasted,

without
each other.

Born in one,
and gone,

in another.

How many more chances,
laying softly,
in between,

in every silent moment
in the whisper,
of your screams,

will we have,
to breathe each other’s breath,
and taste,

each other’s life.

How many more chances
will you be able to
hold deep within
the warm coursing
of my, legacy,
in the probing,
of your depth,
and meaning.

How many more gasps,
can you endure
not exhaling.

How many more
satiny nights
of your’s,
can elude
their rapture.

How many more
thrusting unisons,
sweat, and sighs,
wrapped up loins,

and silky thighs,

can you miss,

in the mix,
of our,

culmination.

We only have,
so many moments
to give.

We only have,
so much love
to live

and still we flitter it
away

like so many
broken sand dollars

that our hearts
cannot repay

Sometimes love is felt,
with the absence,
of touch

And yet still
it can last lifetimes,

until it is realized,

by fate’s kiss,
and against denial’s

crutch.

Each day we teeter,
on fortunes edge

Balancing logic
against desire

Aloft the sole promise,
of the
lover’s pledge

To which the lonely
of all hearts,

desire.


Come to me
in our shore
of dreams

your pink,
horizon,
and,

brilliant beams

splayed out,
so glistening

ocean spume,

in shimmered gleam.


Although this life
we may not meet

still,

feel the flesh
of my fondness,

in your wake
and sleep

upon you.

As you listen to the feel
of pressure’s squeeze
on your heart
right now,

I am your pulse,
I am the blush in your cheeks,
I am the flush on your chest
I am the fever,
of your underlying,
thirst, and desire.

Listen to the secret whispers
within your ear
that linger,
and just won’t leave.

As mine won’t either


Heaven is soul.

Our souls,
our feelings,
our memories.

Come with me
as we
rediscover fire,

our fire,

our sea of flames.

Come,
to me where our shadow
will always be shared,

and be with me
as the makers
of our creation,

and the authors,
of our,

future.

On this,
the beginning
of our past.

This,
the start,
of our eve,
of our,

everlasting present.


Come with me
to the other side,

of mirage.

Come lay with me,
in the shade,

of our reality.

Someday you’ll know
that I was the one,

for you.

Far away,
but one,
inheart


As it is only
circumstance,
that is keeping us,

apart.

Ours is the story
only time,
can tell.

The Tale of Two

The soothing song of our,

ocean blue

that played the winds,
and hushed the words

Of how on this day,
and all days,

I more

than,


love you



Freedom of expression is our, write.

I challenge any woman not to be totally seduced by this - stupid challenge - I take it back - I would lose outright!

Richy, when I read your poetry, it seems to me that language was created for you alone.  Your poetry is a love affair with words, with nature, with life and with all who read it.  It is just as well that you are so exquisitely kind, good, sensitive and compassionate, because you are in total control of all who read your treasures.

Yes, seduction in action, dear Richy!
A wonderful flow of enticing words/emotions.

To read more than once this too! Oh, and the picture is perfect again!

Love,

Rich - What a wonderful journey you take the reader on.  I don't think I'm back yet because part of me is still amongst your words and the other part floating in the world of "if only".  You write beautifully from the heart to the heart.

"Nothing is as far away as one moment ago".
This is the kind of thought that makes your poetry special.
Richy, I am not usually a fan of romantic poetry. (I know most women would never say that) but there are a couple of poets that
can make me change my mind. You are one of the best. Your writing is true poetry and not just an open appeal to a someone who caught your eye, broke your heart, cheated on you, left you, etc., etc., etc. I always enjoy your writing.

You romance the written word in such a wonderful way.

This is a real beauty, Richy~
