How come no matter how hard you try to hide it my eyes still can taste every thought of your words long after your pen has licked them hungrily onto the page? The tang and savoriness that you try to suppress tucked between layers of cream and caress still they fall on my tongue of assessment, under awareness tight of concealed confess. What does one have to do to melt the sky so that I can row to you in a canoe of clouds? What does one have to do to burn the ocean so that I can walk to you on constellations of starfish? How many lonely lives do I have to wait to find the mouth whose lip prints match mine perfectly, and whose curve of hips fit my fingertips like gloves made of silk waterfalls? Maybe it is simply never to be? Maybe you are afraid, to be happy, just like me? Maybe… we’re cursed with the only secret ever without words, that is a secret to itself? Maybe, our love is so strong apart that we would blind the ears of the universe were we ever to finally meet? No, your skin has never touched softly on my eyes, and may never will. But my heart has seen you, all of my life. Last night I dreamt that we danced on the ocean and sank beneath ceilings of whispers and waves. Kissed and benumbed by gooseflesh fluidity clamoring silence, sins soon forgave. We held on each other this fall from of our birthdom soft on the sea bed roof of the earth. With eyes on each other lost love could now start as last breath was shared, tween lips slight apart. |

quote: Dear Richy, this is simply adorable. Go on dreaming, one day your love is bound to be. Just had this fantastic vision of an endless expansion of clouds while flying home and your poetic expression fits the beauty of it so perfectly. Wonderful! Love, Margherita  |

"so I can walk to you on constellations of starfish".....that's simply brilliant! "gloves made of silk waterfalls" You truly have a very descriptive talent......I've thought about how fantastic it would be to be water, the ability to touch your woman all over at the same time.

Thanks all you guys, you're all the best, sincerely! Hey Toe Jelly... ""gloves made of silk waterfalls" You truly have a very descriptive talent......I've thought about how fantastic it would be to be water, the ability to touch your woman all over at the same time." Hey take it easy... people are going to start thinking we're spoken for... :P Seriously, that's a real nice thought, you better hurry up and write a poem about it before I steal it from you... j/k. With my luck I would touch her so much, she would drown... har... har...help!... har |

With eyes on each other lost love could now start as last breath was shared, tween lips slight apart. You are a lovable romantic Richy and that last stanza was so cute. I loved it Lindsay |
