I bought a seashell
by the shore
she,
was selling them
two for four
I place them
to
my ears,
no more
the seas of hell
inside,
they roar.

Heavens haven
devils
lair,
skin of beauty
soft
and fair
rough of hands
scared
of night
bleed my lips
on yours
tonight.

We yearn to
taste
the pearly
strand
chew
the witch
and eat
the sand,
we’re each
a planet
of our own
bathed in light
under the
moan.

Let me crash
into your world
pull me in
your darkened,
swirl
suck
my light
into your
void
release
the stars,
of life
and joy.

Hail cherry
snow of lace
skies of blue
and full of grays,
this blessed fruit
of where
and when,
now
and at the hour
of our life,
and pen.

I pledge
allegiance
to your soul,
I promise to
expand,
one creation
under sod
divisible
by land.

She sells
seashells
by the shore
I placed one
on my
chest
once more,
cutting like
the cries
before,
this heart
to heart,
forever torn.

Wow! This is good work!
I read it several times and it really comes alive for me as I travel along the ambiguous written highway, just reading to grasp the pleasure of the words.
You have such talent Richy and it's a pleasure to read.

Once barren, the sands of imagination morph into your lovely sand goddess.

Sounds like she made quite a sail, webbed forever within your waters, where only the great ones survive.

Found you so romantically absorbed in listening to the seashells here, during my diving session.

Dear Richy, the tunes you share make me want to hum along. Soooooooo beautiful.

Love,
Margherita

I have missed your writing, Rich but you certainly came roaring back with this offering.
