You

Walked a tight rope love, you and I as if we couldn't tell sky above nor ground below.. Stayed all Sunday, called in sick on Monday but still sent it well yeah, seems a sickness was in the air we didn't care. Didn't ask to go down this road, no, just walk, promised myself I would not like before.. even though I thought I learned take the bad with the good. Holding me, tight the best thing I ever knew never wanted to never say, don't know what I mean, just that I need you. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dedicated to my love Stacy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I think of love, i think of the music of Cole Porter! Such outstanding lyrics.i never had one love in my life, as most do. I had several significant others, if you will. And each were fantastic in a plethora of other ways.)))Plus…knew poetry + were well read. I led a colorful and wild and sassy lifestyle. It shows in my poems. I will never be a sheep! I love that song, “ body and soul.” I like men who are fun, humble,tender and sensual.” Needing …,is great as was your poem! Merci, Pangie

Gina, Love's been a stranger at times, but always, and only, when I wasn't looking closest. -Richard

"Holding me, tight the best thing I ever knew never wanted to never say, don't know what I mean, just that I need you." Maybe that is what it is all about...needing someone, having someone -- sharing the mystery. You made me think with this one. Well done.

Joe, Thanks, still don't know how to find them, words slow to come. Here's to sharing in mystery. -Richard
