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. - Owl |

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. Helen |

"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. Ida |

You romance the written word in such a wonderful way. This is a real beauty, Richy~ |
