I guess this spot is good as any
The bridge I’m on has no more teeth
Before is still, afraid to give
Then, is still afraid to live
I never even met her needs
I was never introduced
But I see her as the sand
Shining in the surf seduced
Let me covet you with promise
Only sightless dreams can keep
We will use our mouths for silence
Language really is release
The earth is on its knees again
Taking in the sky
All the light is once again
Underneath the night
Wishes try to whet the hunger
With their daily useless, words
Life is just a breeze of cages
Love is just a wounded bird
It’s hard to breathe without the meaning
That is always, hid
“You don’t love her anymore, why, what happened?
“Well, you did”

Sometimes we need to work it out with a dialogue to ourselves as you so eloquently did here, Richy.~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~

Your poetry touches deeply...your choice of words is a poetic panorama. Like a breathtaking sunset, the quiet beauty is bittersweet as it submits to the darkness.
Like I said, I really do miss you when you are gone.

I've missed you Richy. Your pic is magnificent! Your poem, painfully poignant.
Your words still hold their magic. It is good to have you back.

Fantastic, Richy showed up on Pip again! And well, it's a treat to read your poetry again.
You are quite complex, deep and yet soft in a way, I like your words very much.
