One distant descrying heart beats papably though thought silent, an association of art amplifies pain near violent, for the depths of a wound asunder call adrift unhindered winds, to the sensitive sound like thunder leaving kindred souls chagrined. For the air we breathe, the light we're shown and the moon above we share, and we dare bequeath all the might we own just assume the Love, we care. Though flung to far off places, in pain of Love felt scant, we've clung to the embraces of the strains of the poet's chant. The next time steeped in sorrow, feel hurtin' and alone, I beg you keep not borrow these words here as your own. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

I just love the way your poetry flows! This is another great poem, but what else could I expect...! ~*Freedom Is Not Free*~ (Korean War Memorial) |

And forever to your ownself be true, and you definitely are Richard, this was a fantastic piece. The only true thing a man has are his thoughts, well said. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance.

well done Sir. . . 'tis the gift that every poet gives. . . one that he hopes is accepted. . . --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Incredibly well written, Richard -- easily in the ranks of the classics. And a very good message & thought. Enjoyed this one strongly. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

This one calls for a read and another read and another.....it's just that kind of a piece! " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |
