Rick Berry Poems

Sometimes imagination is my only friend
Mind over matter, there’s no strings
With a leap of faith, interpretation speaks quietly
Without an audience, reality is but an illusion
...

The small of a womans back
Sacred ground, desire
It beckons, quietly inviting
...

How is it, that beauty can silence a poet?
When I first saw you, I was speechless
I denied my reaction. I pretended...
...

My best friend
My lover
My soul-mate
...

I was awakened by your scent
It is a scent that consumes me
It is on my fingers...my lips...in my hair
It is ingrained in my skin
...

It happens in an instant
There’s barely time to react
It’s like a bolt of lightning
Rolling thunder, sunlight
...

Looking into your eyes
I have a passage
I can see your heart
I can feel your soul
...

What secret treasure is hidden between your columns?
That place where your feminine passion is calling me
That place where our bodies become one
Where power collides with tenderness
...

You kissed me
I surrendered
It was involuntary
The seed was planted
...

Love and romance
Emotions, they soar
Time stands still
Like a frozen fire
...
