Don'T Look At Me That Way

Way too easy, when you look at me like you can see words wade in slow draw in breath, like a magic key two eyes and all the wonders they show For me it doesn't come so easy the specter of nineteen dealin' in failure wins and winds my tongue Never knew where it grew between the creased parlor lights made to start What I do know when my fingers touched yours bright and beautiful the spark that ripped right through my heart Forever is a long time far too long never to say I love, it's love, you're loved.. so if you never want to hear it, don't look at me that way.

Hello Heidi, Thank you for the comment, I am doing well. I came seeking the rose and the prose today. Fall is a season you capture very well in your mountain home. -Richard

Absolutely a great new creation. Yes, love truly makes this world liveable. Yet when love goes wrong, the world comes back in as the raging destructive entity that it is. Eceptional depth, insight and poetic talent displayed in this gem. A fav.. God bles..
