Best Ricci Poems

Dedication is to my Friends who avoid judging:

You are not the judge
But judge you must
For earthly matters and such
Leave hell to satan or demons
But Heaven in fragrances of your words:
Epitaph, apology, poetry, piety, congrats - - 
Even angels fall, why not us (Adamic) mortals -
When...

The universe is in your eyes
(It exists in processing; God's the background)
After this life, the energy Pole - and the eyes -
Allow Consciousness Pole to arise
They are always together, Dear Heart!
Like background ( or SPACE itself) in art
As crucial as Foreground (the details, the stage)
WE...

while dangerously near
 the time is now
 we dance for life
 we move to love
 such a maneuver saves our souls
 slowly performing to perfection
 nothing matters but oneness
 to music rhythm to each other

 our slow moves circle each other
 cautiously positing
 each step

For her beloved dad, a month after surgery

The scripture I read
Rebukes lust and greed
My Lord will forgive
Change how we live
Love God, love people:
Not pastor, church, steeple

II
I have Hindu family
They offer their homily
On forgiveness too often
Basics of love, shun
So, I write poetry
To add to missionary
Tools, a biblical education
God offers ALL SALVATION

FOOTNOTE: I am...

Once we prayed for fatigued hands
Jesus, Yahwah Rophikah, healer
He had previously helped heal Carmelo
God had been faithful to Hebrews
In the desert, in Canaan, in wars
Yahwah Nissi, Our Banner
The One who wins victories for us
He is faithful even if we are not 
( 2 Timothy 2:11-13)

The hands Carmelo's genes shaped
Are somewhat lighter, her heart sadder
Carmelo Ricci left a world of pandemics
On January 17, 2022; heaven is happier

Who is among those who love hard, not loud: 
The same who almost alone cares for...

It is a new day, before 2, after midnite
It is dark, humid. We have fans, quiet
So too refrigerators, AC, & soon, phones
As it looks likely, the blackout goes on

II
It was so hot & humid, I went outside
Took a plastic chair, a break from inside
Watched faint...

I tried to thank Lisa Ricci for her friendship ... Cybermonsters ate all I wrote.

So, to recap:
Lisa Ricci Ricci Ricci
Namasthe Namasthe Namasthe
ShalOm shalom shalom

From Rhode island to south Africa
Despite the miles, years fewer smiles

The question, urgent and acute, that fashion
asks every woman daily: what does she
prefer? A Ricci’s chic, a chilly passion
of Ungaro, an ease of Givenchy?

What’s better? A dramatically black look
or, say, an all-white? A silk cape with strappy 
heels or a floral-printed dress like Brook
Shields in...
