A Dampness Between |

The Dampness Between Walk into the sea this night my love, as I have, beyond the mind’s horizon, and we will share the surf and the foam within, of what was and what shall ever be. Unlike every other night when we face black mirrors under our pillow in the loneness of the forsaken, and hopeful. This, dampness between us, dripping from lips, these swells and waves brimming, a flush of wish and simple meanings, an ocean streaming of brine and beauty, of tears and sorrow, salty sweet of passionate sweat as it trickles yet, down the bosom of weakness as the knees of divide buckle with the undertow of rapture and ravishment. You are the breath of abyss my poet of tear and fears bewildered, pregnant with innocence and words beloved, thrusted into you in stolen slices of thirst and moan as my shimmering moon snakes back across the water, from you Lay there love, on the beach with the ebbing and flowing tide as your lover for me. The sound of the stars melting in your eyes will carry you to the land of nod where answers and truths awash in rain wait for those brave enough to savor, and swallow and smile. |

Oh this is so warm and wonderful, it literally pulled me in, like an undertow. Your writing is exquisite, there is music and movement that flows over every wave. It makes me want to keep rhythm and let it take me out to sea. Your poetry is special, and it's always a nice surprise to read you here, Richy. Many hugs~ |

Oh Bluesy, wow, a note from you, and a superbowl too all in one day, gee that is almost more then this guy can handle! I'll tell you though, I would choose that reply over all the superbowls that ever were, and ever will. Thank you Lori, for your kindness and for the smile now singing across my face. You're the best!

Long time no read, Richard, but you came back with a stunner - well, I actually think all your writes are stunning! You take the reader to places that don't seem to exist in this world of ours and they could so easily if we were more ... evolved! Thank you! Hugs Helen |

Richy....This poem is so lush and seductive it made me miss the breathing of the ocean, the prickling salt on my skin of its water and the glory of being accepted by the embrace of sand. Thank you. |
