 It was always going to be under the barest of poet trees In the shadow of fate And fallen leaves Where I was going to find you, wasn’t it Somewhere tween the digital sky And the fabled land in some lost lullaby Is where our thoughts first met and kissed, And not soon after too, they cried You are so close the spiders from your breath make the flesh of my neck stiffen and my skin erect And yet, You might as well be on the other side of far Four universes and a star Away Writhing beneath the dripping words from my lips and into your’s Lie with me again anew on the soft and gentle morning dew Beneath the shade of naked limbs and thirsty fingers once again, Thrusting through the lush of dark as dampish warmth Runs down between the spread of branches overhead, the towering firmness of glistening sheen You can tear the pages from this tree And you can burn the wood and the words from me But the smoke will rise and the wind will blow And you’ll feel our thoughts each time it flows Within the fields or against your skin, the beauty of our love within Affection makes us who we are, that’s all it ever was about You’re as much of me, As I am of you In that I hope you have no doubt There is no light without the tears, There can’t be bliss without the fears It’s pain from sky and the prism of smiles, That plays with light that shines for miles That casts the hue that makes it clear how much I’ve loved you My sweet dear This place Was here before we came A closeness that should bring not shame Where we’ll embrace Like in the past When rain from eyes Falls down so fast And light from spirit shines up to kiss Once more Because of you I missed Our carved initials Because of us Immortalizes love we trust Our bridge to each other was always there In the feelings we couldn’t help But share You’ll always be my beauty of light My arch of hope, my end of night Reflecting rays Into illusions Which then brings forth The grand protrusions Of beginnings into ends in all my love to you I send Yes way up high In lullabies Where I am blue And earth meets sky The dreams that you So dare to dream Come true if you look In between The wishing up Upon the stars And clouds behind you Oh so far Beyond the troubled Lemon drops That melt upon The chimney tops Is where, You will find me Somewhere Over, Your Rainbow Freedom of expression is our, write.

The passion in your soul literally dripped down the page and I thirstily drank up your words. Sighing, here. Fortunate is she for whom you write! I would buy a book of your love poems in a heartbeat!  Linda |

quote: What a uniquely defined distance! But she must be quite close to your heart, where you feel her presence so beautifully. Dear Richie, there are long poems which seem long and then there are long poems which seem too short, like yours here. Ok, we can read it again, yes, for it is deeply captivating! Love, Margherita  |

What a wonderful expansion of Over the Rainbow! Exquisite photograph, but the poem surpasses it. And wow, do I agree with Margherita! I feel cheated when I get to the end of your poems. I feel that they should go on forever! The only solution is to read them again and again. Although I realise that there must be hundreds of women bashing in your front door, the reason why you haven't found your mystical woman is that there are none to match you and that is sad. Of course, it does give birth to your exquisite poetry, but I would rather you were happy - OK, let me be completely honest - I would rather that you were happy AND we get your beautiful poetry! - Owl |

So often your poetry makes my day, it is that inspiring. I am drawn to the tenderness that lies within and the promise of love in the making. You've got a heart of gold, good poet Sir~ |

Earth Angel ~ Sorry about the drips Linda Lou, I’m pretty messy aren’t I? The person to whom I write for is cumulation of many beautiful souls that have crossed my path over time; several of them being right here at PIP. Thanks so much dear friend as always for you warm kindness! Margherita ~ Thank you my dear, yes, I’m long winded if I’m anything. It once took me twenty minutes to tell someone that I’m a man of few words lol. Yes, in some ways, she is close to my heart. OwlSA ~ Dear Diana, there is no bashing of doors I promise you that lol. Our poems are just dreams and desires, put down on print yes? The mystical characters in our writing are just ponderings of passion, and all else wondrous. You need to chop me down a few miles, my dear. I snore, I bite my nails, I scratch (ewww!) and I once stepped on a spider that was getting too many ideas (yikes!) Sometimes we just feel like living vicariously through our imaginations. The storyteller just does a better job sharing it with others. Thank you my wonderful friend. BluesSerenade ~ My Dear Lori, how wonderful your reply makes me feel that I could in any way, shape, or form, bring some joy intto your day. That just made my day, and for that I so thank you! |

Rich - Imagination is the mother of creation. You have created something beautiful here (as you do in all your poems)and so I am sure that it will one day come alive - one day or one lifetime but we're impatient creatures, aren't we? However, perhaps you are writing from memory, soul memory, and now you can smile because you've been there and done that. Take care and keep imagining! Helen |

"I snore, I bite my nails, I scratch (ewww!) and I once stepped on a spider that was getting too many ideas (yikes!)" Glad to know you are human like the rest of us, however, you do have the gift of "storytelling" (as you call it) down so well, it makes the rest of us swoon! Star....lol |
