I never thought,
I would be wished

I always figured
rainbows
were my purgatory
trapped,
in it’s prism

I never wanted
to be needed,
only wanted

There should always
be choice

Need water,
thirst, me

Let us not
be what we
lack,
but what we thrive

I don’t want to fill
a hole
I want to,
be
the whole

Ever moving,
ever
affecting

Even oil and vinegar
separate
when they stop
dancing,
together

Unfortunate words
that have ran
away
from my mouth
have always,
liked me

Because I’m good at waiting
for things,
that will never
come back

It’s hard to hold up
wait
for too long,
without dropping it

I curse the sun to leave
the sky
so I can lay
in fear,
of night

If only I had
kept
some faith,
that I had given
away

It was the sound
of her humor
that sold me
first
and the fragrance,
of her humility

I cannot see
dawn rising this day
because my eyes
are still
away

Searching
for,
what never was
missing

And that’s the problem

Is that what I’m looking
for
is present

But I will never
be able
to see it

Because the wind
is blind

And enlightenment,
is trapped
in the darkness

And so
I reach

With fingers through the wisp

All I ever wanted
was my arms
to belong,
around you

Its a wonderful feeling when someone makes you feel whole, although that someone isnt always the one fate chooses for you. Lovely words again Richy. I enjoyed reading a few more poems in your archives too.

Ahh Victoria, always so pleased when you visit me..

And maybe that’s what it is though isn't it, it takes more than two hearts dancing to make a whole ballroom of embrace complete..

There is, a difference between the person we want and the person, we’re supposed to be with isn’t there..

Thanks soo much for your graceful kindness, and the big smile, you have a wonderful day..  

Remember, there are no wrong moves in tango, only new ones

And this is so you, Rich.  It is never too late to go for what is right and good.  Faith, is there in abundance, for all who really want it.  Smiles.

thank you so much Diana, very wise words..

i would only say that daydreaming, for me at least, isn’t a flight from actuality, it’s simply a way, of comprehending it..
