I've been thinking about the other night
The part before we were high 

We see each other
Such connection is rare to find, at our age

So I have to tell you some things
Because that is what I do now

You brighten the world around you, 
For everyone

You make...

Cara Mia
by Rick Rucker

How could it come to pass
I was viewing life through steam-ed glass? 
Surely this was just not right,
Why was it in black and white?

At the time, not a notion
That it was all in slow motion!
Often in a comfort zone,
All is different when...

A friend who there for you no matter what
Never leaves you in your hours of needs
Accepts for whom you were meant to be
Make you feel so special even if you don't

Cares for you no matter what you share
Allows you time to be alone if you...

She roams through El Dorado’s ancient golden ways,
She gazes from black spires of Xanadu,
She walks through green Lothlorien’s unclouded days,
She muses long on Ilium’s deep blue...

I’ve seen her in the chamber of the silver’d doors,
I’ve heard her when the loon in moonlight screams,
I’ve felt her...

Venice canals, a gondola
A love song on the mandola
The notes I play ring clear and bright
They waft and float into the night

There beneath the light of moon
That shines on you, illumed, I swoon
But catch myself before I fall
Your beauty has me steeped in awe

You shift...

Taking part in tomorrow
Over and again?
Asked of more for who?
To avoid where i don’t know
His time in a lights, blasts
My times haven’t run, home
Learning how i leave, beneath
Beneath my custom
Devoured in still shots
At becoming the he , she would expect of me, another shim
Today and...

Marilyn was cute and charming
Although her eyelashes were quite alarming
They were thick and extremely long
Good job, her eyelids were young and strong
Others found this quite disarming...

The wounded warrior can barely stand 
A beautiful speech therapist
Now leans only on a flimsy , breaking branch 
The battlefield , a hospital.  Diagnosis: cancer. 
A ribbon tied loosely around her skull
Hides small wisps if you more than glance 
Which once held luscious locks...

To travel far
Along the road
To live so long
And not be told

That from the clay
Where hearts complete
There will be one
Your heart will meet

To tend your wounds
Let anxious cease
Wrap with arms
Of total peace

To walk those miles
And not be found
The truth revealed now
To astound

A soul that fits
Like hand...
