How

How can I flood your waters when your barriers hold me back? How can I fill your mind when it's preoccupied and blind? How can I fulfill your needs when there is no way of pleasing these? How must I cross your mountains when your forest is so thick inside? How can I fly through your skies when you cloud the vision of my eyes? How can I swim through your oceans when your undertow keeps pulling me down? How can I walk through your deserts when your sandstorms keep blinding me so? How can I kiss you gently when you disguise the love I know? By: Rick Keeble and Carole O'Terry Duet (A Collaboration) Copyright: Dec. 9, 2016 "All Rights Reserved"

This is brilliant. Hi, Carole, I am new to the soup and my best friend Budgie told me to look you up, I have only posted one poem so far, but tonight me and budgie will do more. Budgie says Hi.

Well Hi back to you, Brendan. Any friend of Budgie's is a friend of mine. And, thank you for the nice compliment. Budgie is very talented. And, welcome to the "soup" too. Hope you enjoy writing and sharing your creations here. I promise I'll read them too.
