Richard Lamoureux-For Contest
Richard Lamoureux-figured out
Richard Lamoureux,
even his name speaks of love.
The LOST AND FOUND kind of love
The kind of love that can contemplate
THE EDITING OF ME.
Richard is a true realist, never MINCING WORDS,
he says it like it is, but with a kind manner.
He is LISTENING FOR A CHANGE, because that
is what BEING HUMAN is all about,
and that's what he does best.
HIS HUNGER is for truth and justice,
with a little SWEET SCOUNDREL LIES,
thrown in the mix.
WHAT YOU DON'T SEE in his words,
are THE LOVELY BONES, RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF LIFE!
Richard wants to CHANGE THE WORLD, and the key he has,
IMBEDDED IN PAGES, so it's a little hard to find.
Richard always asks WHERE DO POETS GO?
I don't know where he is now,
but I DO know he was, on the SKYTRAIN,
BUT HE'S NOT SHOPPING.
I know, because he came home with a CUP OF EMPTY,
maybe that's how he knows that BIG GIRLS DO CRY!
Richard and I share similar backgrounds,
and we yearn for the same things,
a fathers love for example.
We, KEEP TRYING TO REACH
BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE REACHED,
TRYING TO GRASP THE MAGNIFICENT.
If we keep trying, Richard, maybe there will be
LIGHT SUSPENDED, ABOVE FOREVER, for us.
