The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 6/24/2006 3:33:28 PM
Pan the teacher, Re'Mark the seeker...on an eternal quest of truth and reason. And it all comes down to the truth that is within each of us, but very few have the courage to follow. Nicely done! Jill

Wow, I enjoyed this, and it reminded me a bit of Paul Coehelo (misspelled). That was a great ending.

The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 4/15/2003 10:45:46 AM
I loved this story. It is so universal, yet so personal. Well done. The progression, the detail, the personalities are outstanding. The concept is original and well thought out. The touch of mythology in the use of Pan as the guide is brillient. Bobbi

Good story. So mind altering, even the most close-minded person would have to crack the door just a little.

The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 9/24/2002 1:33:28 PM
An excellent story....thanks for the lesson...

The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 9/18/2002 5:48:51 PM
This one is tight, thank you for the comment on Stygian Skies -- hope some of my short stories have that same kind of impact on you. I write within the horror and true crime genres.

The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 9/11/2002 6:14:47 PM
excellent story, reminds me of when I read Carlos Castaneda so long ago...a very important message that we all tend to forget about...thank you for the eloquent reminder

The Tale of Re'Mark (Short Story) - 9/10/2002 6:05:09 AM
you are a very clever writer....you have put into this story a clear version of what life is all about or should be all about if we weren't so fearful....very mythical and very very good....you did an excellent job!!!!

anew (Poetry) - 1/5/2012 11:37:46 AM
if it was true to be would i ever really be free this is a dream i may never see and so i leave it all to thee painful and honest i am only me watching the aging of the tree where i felt the sting of the honey bee bent down upon my knee and i prayed i am tired now. this life is to end-another to begin? i don't want to know anymore what is evidently not mine for the taking he will do as he does the choices are not mine and hence that word..."fine."

ravaged (Poetry) - 1/5/2012 11:33:11 AM
I have been away for some time as you know. I am pleased to be back and able to read your words dearest you have been in so many ways others seemingly can not relate. your works speak to me in night and in the day where i wish i could find the same as so many long for.

to .j.t. (Poetry) - 11/7/2011 5:26:46 PM

such thoughts come to mind I am happy to see you are truly "you" as Ive always known... glad to be back

ether (Poetry) - 3/5/2011 3:50:03 PM
Oh, longing so deeply... and those dreams reaching out to take hold... beautiful imagery, the 'pearlized ether', so brilliantly shines, yet so fragile, so untouchable, yet beckoning and shining through the pain and mmemory, hope maybe will come alive...

monsters waiting to swallow me (Poetry) - 3/4/2011 2:36:36 PM
Such Imagery! & the pain of those demons so frightening... they pull and so much pain they bring, yet that soul/spirit cries out for that salvation...

snowflakes (Poetry) - 3/4/2011 2:33:48 PM
so much here, passion--the good, the painful and that wonderful ending, beautiful...that 'dawn falling like snowflake dreams' snowflake dreams, love it, so fragile, so beautiful, so human!

anew (Poetry) - 2/20/2011 12:08:52 PM
yes, yes! to be reborn... so many 'moments' that 'eternity upon' the soul... you are so beautifully contemplative here, oh, we are getting older, perhaps and longing.. painful, touching...the angel may have fallen, but seems here to be seeking new life, anew, indeed... m.

ravaged (Poetry) - 2/20/2011 12:02:22 PM
so relate in my own way... salvation so longed for and cannot see either you have touched the heart's pain and the soul's yeearning, my friend... this world can be so difficult, sigh, life such a struggle and here is one within this piece who longs and dreams still... may you find the comfort you seek and may all of us who are moved by this find the same...wmh, m.

anew (Poetry) - 5/16/2009 10:53:47 PM
engagingly pensive self-reflection, richard. the mood echoes in one's mind; alas, to be reborn, to rise to a new level of consciousness, to attain that elusive sacred unity and its attendant eternal peace... hmmm... a truly wonderful read. cg

snowflakes (Poetry) - 1/4/2009 5:56:27 PM
Much said in few words, Richard...I love the snowflake dreams your dawn brings...so light and peaceful. Gina

Truly beautiful Richard. Such warm thoughts penned so perfectly.

to miss lestrange (Poetry) - 5/17/2007 3:24:04 PM
The economy of your work is masterful. This is a poem that reads like a gentle watercolor -- art, yes, but at its softest, a mere kiss of paint on the canvas.

to miss lestrange (Poetry) - 4/9/2007 2:28:15 PM
Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain. --Leo Buscaglia You love, Richard.

The touch of a wit-wise thought abounds through the words of "to my ex's". I salute You, Poet. Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

oh,the horrors (Poetry) - 8/10/2006 6:34:00 PM
This composition, "oh,the horrors" is a poetic accomplishment in grand style. Good work, Poet! Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

to my ex's (Poetry) - 8/10/2006 6:20:29 PM
and you could and still can, I have to believe, have to... here, you show that, so much here in so few words... yes, the demons plague but dammit I Believe you have a capacity for the other, for love...just need to find your way somehow and let it shine your love, yes, let it roar gently 'as if a god'.... w/m/h, m this moved me as your work has much moved me lately, so, I mean it... all the best, you, sir, and more.....

oh,the horrors (Poetry) - 8/10/2006 6:15:35 PM
damn, keep yearning.... your poetry is full of that yearning and more... it hurts, this, to be so held/haunted, etc., and yes, those lines Elizabeth pointed out say so, so much...but the 'flesh' is not the whole, thankfully and you, dear Poet, write about it's hold on one so well, yet you know, there is again, that yearning and your heart may just someday lead you...who knows? It takes hard work as we are at times so much slaves to our natures and backgrounds yet... there is something in your works that shows such heart, heartfelt need for the better, for good and love and peace within and yes, always, it seems that dream of heaven---oh, I could cry as it can be so hard to battle our duality/the dual nature within...you know...'the flesh is weak', but also richard the spirit, well, your spirit and heart both, perhaps, yearn, burn unbearably, yet still you write and something soars, thus, for me, it must live within you...how I hope you find that soaring nature that your heart holds ---at least from what you give us here...and it does give and give and that my friend is Good, Goodness does live within you in spite of all the horrors, at least your words soar somehow w/that message to us...well, for me, it does and others, I think...please hold fast your heavenly, moonlit, star-filled dreams, make them real someday, oh, I so hope you find them grow stronger, somehow, inside of you (as we see it, you know) (((r.))) m.

I remember this one...

a life of crime (Poetry) - 8/8/2006 9:16:51 PM
Yes this is unique. The title drew me because I recently wrote something entitled 'The Prisoner'. I was completely fooled but delighted that I'd taken the time to read. Delightful! Chanti

a life of crime (Poetry) - 8/8/2006 1:03:30 PM
special and unique, the way you did this...one doesn't see that last line coming and also, ah, yes, please, if nothing else, do share it... that 'moonlight'... you, in this, it intrigues me w/it's drama that at first can seem more dark, personal, real and then it's as if you Are a phantom, out there, up there 'stealing' stars and ohhh, that 'moonlight'... love it, did the first time, ages ago and you, well, a moon loving poet and sigh...don't we all wanna stael a star and especially that mmon so often, at the least, want it/them for our selves-- then again, I suppose it is so nice to share, also that night and its light...so dear thief, yes do give it back and we will still let you share.. :) w/m/h, moonchild micha

a life of crime (Poetry) - 8/8/2006 2:24:19 AM

on a roll (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 3:28:48 PM
Ah, richard, I like what Elizabeth says and you, well...through the pain and through the life you've lived, you've for so many years been a Poet, see...perhaps that is your destiny, at least a large part-- that place where you can bare the softest and the rawest wounds /the pain and the beauty and I don't know...but indeed on a roll you are in this new work --so much of it, and i imagine in that heart and your life as well...and sometimes it is a rolling hill we climb, but always the poet/wordsmith/giver of what lives within you! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, me

sawyer (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 3:23:53 PM
yes, you are good at this, richard, i know and it is back breaking work, but you are also so very, very good as a sawyer of sorts w/words...this, well, you inspired me to write my first piece in a long, long time... it has the sweat and raw strength and pull and push of stone cutting and of, also life screaming and more...a fine piece, yes, tho' remember you are 'good at' many more things than even you may Imagine... and this piece is so excellent, it, well...again, raw, honest and much, much meaning is your words, as usual, sir! m. (((r.))) remember you are good at giving, sigh... what a piece, of work and yet of life and of body/mind/Spirit!!!

sunset (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 3:17:48 PM
strange, yes, to lose so often our battles, yet go on and somehow strong in the struggle and how much beauty you see, give, here, in this 'sunset', beautifully painted...ah, richard, I guess it might also be a metaphor for aging, also... this is special and yes, you hold some dreams so close to that heart, though your life may have taken a different direction, oh we are complex, we humans and you've given us here another so honest glimpse into the pain and beauty and the search and more in this poem... love it, w/m/h, m.

on a roll (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 4:01:23 AM
So true...we plan 'there' for this life 'here' to work out the kinks of our soul's growth, and satisfy the Divine Plan. Elizabeth

Destiny can be fickle. Good work... Elizabeth

sunset (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 3:58:28 AM
You'd be surprised at how many do NOT live each day as given, nor try to make it the best it can be. You are already way ahead of the pack. Everytime something is "lost" there is always something better to replace it. Not everyone has the 'eye wisdom' or the 'heart wisdom' to see. An excellent philisophical poem. Best, Elizabeth

sunset (Poetry) - 8/2/2006 6:28:52 PM
I really like the first lines.. Hope all is well......

richard, wow, Elizabeth is right, you are one a roll...and as for B'days, sorry I missed Cinqo de Mayo, and I wish I had missed my own, tho'...lol...but now...

god, richard, thank you... this is so much a beautiful, oh so very beautiful piece, exposing the pain, naked and all too much as human as one can be... you've expressed both the naked raw hurt/pain/need as well as that extraodinary memory of hope-- that moon, oh yes, my friend...it was and Is yet still your soul glowing... I could cry...you've opened up here and given so much and in the most beautifully poetic way, your Imagery is so in itself masterful and still the tiny specks we are who so long fo love and home and hope shines through, glows and gives and gives us all a most special glimpse into your gifts as a writer and into the person, unafraid to share the pain and the guts and the whole, whole of one-- you, yes, and yet what a gift as you make one feel, here so not alone... I am humbled by the writing and moved by your words all too much, sigh... loneliness is dark and still those 'silver stars shine...' Thank YOU for this, god it is among your best... and it hurts and glows at the same time... w/m/h, m. oh, damn, how ...well, this just got to me as you can see... bravo and grazie bene YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh yes... you, heart man so full of the search, the dream, the pain... that heart sighs here in such a peace... and such a longing fulfilled in this dream of a piece! i am again, well...oh to feel this way, it...just, this is a keeper, mia amico w/m/h

To be the best we can be is the gift we give in a relationship. You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Gets to be a drag otherwise. An excellent work of love lost. Elizabeth

The past is just that. I only know you as you have worked hard to become, a very gentle, thoughtful, thinking, embracing soul. You can't embrace the new paradigm unless you let go of the old. Smooch, Elizabeth

monster that i am (Poetry) - 6/21/2006 3:16:57 PM
no monster, you...god, yes, it feels that way, i do know, and this, richard, painful, and dammit, you do know all too much that has been ingrained in you over years and years of the violence, yet your heart, spirit soar as you learn, and give, 'teach understanding' mi amico, as f'ing dark, hard, painful and black-red raging pain, there, i know, i know...still, you keep on and on, seeking that solace that huge heart deserves... this piece hurts, it, it is painful and i know, in my way how it feels to be so 'lost', 'alone' and...well, you've opened your guts/heart up raw/beautifully here, still leaving us with the goodness you are! it DOES live within you...the monster is the pain and memory and raging pain is so unbearable, yet, here you come through and give... the 'all too human that you are'!!!!!!!!!!!!! m. dammit, here ----> (((((r.)))))))

Happy Birthday my friend...If I had known I coulda write you a poem......lol that rhymes...hey not so bad to be fifty......just keep it nifty....lols!! To Be "Nifty" Fifty AGAIN The most Uplifting time of life You turned fifty and confused As you take another look You realize to be uplifted You might just have to re-cooperate Changes need to be made You will have to think about A �Cross your Heart� bra Or maybe a �Cross your Knees� To lift the bust Some �Step-in� panties To lift that stomach And Oh boy some �Viagra� To lift your husband To please your sex drive Oh! Boy But the visit to the doctor Could be a pain in the ass If he walks in with that glass If you laugh to much You pee in your pants Cough in church Your ass start to sing along And with the slightest breeze You start to sneeze And you poop in D-Minor Oh it is so �Uplifting� to be fifty Just remember when you sneeze Cross your knees and squeeze For the Most Uplifting Melodic sounds of fifty Love Tinka
