I have not come this way to see my own shadow.
I have not ventured forth to abandon my faith.
I have seen all there is in the heart of the the lowlands.
And now wish to find my place in the stars.

Beyond the forest and fields
Fending off subdued alarms
And our preference to weep
A mere madness for the moment

For in truth I am a Prisoner
Along my trail you see the rabble
We are infected with a wanderlust
Our poor condition won't deter

Under your imagination
With your vistas and your influence
Myself so long inside the void
To suffer loss, it's own reward

I once loved the near forgotten
Who's caresses I preserved
She is soaring in your garden
And on occasion lends you words


Rick Delmonico

Probably I should name my poems something like"photos of naked celebrities".
Maybe then, someone would read them.

I have always been a fan.  Your writing never fails to touch a place deep in the heart.

So good, radman~

I don't think I would have clicked on a poem titled "photos of naked celebrities"... I've seen enough of Brittany! LOL So I'm glad you didn't retitle... *S* I especially like the ending verse... beautiful work!
