A note from Richard
















A note from Richard

Love is a dream within a dream,
a rapture filled symphony,
swept upon a mellifluous stream,
to capture that which once was free,
and free again in different light,
to sweep away the shadows hasp,
and triumph in a dawns delight,
entwined within a lovers grasp.
to sing a rhapsody, embraced
and bare, bold passions tilt,
then swim into each folded grace
through pools, in heavens built.
Two lovers, ravished, in a sonnets bloom,
awakened, in rejoice'd swoon.

Butterfly












Butterfly

Delicate winged nymph of the sky
once you crawled
briefly slept
now you are a twinkle in my eye.

The Lonely





























The Lonely

The aching heart of the lonely
mouthed in words of sombre tones
housed by walls
loves soft emollient
a soothing smile, a fluttering lash,
a gifted guile, a garland sash,
a giggle, a grin
laughters softened chin.
depths unfathomable solitary confinement
made the deeper
by loves memories and refinement,
holding hands upon silken sands
a look, a glance,
a book, a dance
memories to cherish
on dark lonesome nights
I perish.
