Richard Cook Poem
Moon and Sun conversed one day debating which
one lead the way to happiness for those who gaze
at sun and moon so far away-
Sun claimed warmth and sunbeams bright-
moon claimed romance thru the night-
Sun said flowers lean toward me-
moon said my light leads the way-
moon said I can change my look-
crescent, full and in-between-
sun came back with this to say-
my warmth makes for a lovely day-
sun and moon finally agreed to become one
and eclipsed that day.

Richard Cook Poem
The Orb of night shines its light of love only on you-
I cannot love another-
Fate has decided that this is the truth-
My heart is determined to love you only-
My soul is connected to you alone-
To seek someone else is a futile endeavor-
A waste of time-
I will love you forever-
I long for your kisses-
They elude me it’s true-
I long to caress you-
Yet this is a dream-
More like a nightmare-
Often it seems-
Your good morning dear I never will hear-
Your goodnight my love will not touch my ears-
The sun is blocked by my cloud of despair-
Like Sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill-
I always will long yet never fulfill-
At best you love me just as a friend-
You find it amusing that I long for your touch-
That I find you attractive-
That I love you so much-
You find it funny that I die at your sight-
I die just a little-
Yes it is true-
I die for wanting yet not having you-
Your spirit, your beauty will haunt me forever-
You are the only-
There can be no other

Richard Cook Poem
Beyond the sea I call to thee
Clocked in serendipity-
I know not what you think of me-
Your inner thoughts a mystery-
I love you yet I know not why-
Your absence gives me pause to sigh-
On the moon your face I see-
In the clouds you on a steed-
Clarify this mystery-
Why I’m so in love with thee

Richard Cook Poem
It can't be your love
The existential void
Breaks my heart
I want to be a part of you
I want to touch your soul
To be one with you
To laugh with you
To cry with you
The cosmic change
That binds with time
Taunts my spirit
I sail in a sea of lost aspirations
And faded dreams
Clinging to what is left
Or perceived what I had
I reach out for love, but
It can't be your love
I gather the remnants of my hope
Desire spawned and dead
I don't remember
The day, the hour, the minute
That I fell in love with you
It changed my life
In so many ways
Touch me again
One more time
I will always be yours but
It can't be your love.

Richard Cook Poem
The starry night then sunshine bright-
I wake with you beside me-
My dreams of you so precious few-
Your scent it smells so lovely-
We have some coffee and a port-
I want to touch and hold you-
I gaze at your angelic face-
I think I really love you-
I love you soft and tenderly before
The day is started-
I’ll think of you throughout the day-
As long as we are parted
