Here are a couple of poems I wrote that say something about me:"How will I know she is the one".When you see a woman's eyes and they sparkle just for you.be they brown, black, hazel, green, gray or blue.When she smiles and it warms your heart right to the core.That is when you know, she is a woman you could adore.When she takes your hand, and she gives you a tender squeeze.You feel a tingle, that strikes every nerve and can bring you to your knees.When you hear her voice and it is a symphony to your ears.You know you could hear that melodic sound for many, many years.When she is not around and you long for her, and wonder where she went.Then you smile when she sneaks up behind you, and aroused by her scent.When you kiss her tender lips, and feel that fire burn within your heart.And thank God above, she chose you to be with, and pray you'll never part.When your fingers push her hair to the side, and your hand caresses her face.Feeling, Tasting, Smelling, Hearing, Seeing all she is, This is your love's place.RICARDO"Give Someone a Chance".If I could but only find the words that might unlock your heart, allowing it to hearken unto my words. To allow my message, a simple truth, to lift the veil that cloaks your very being, like the sheath that holds and binds a sword. To give you comfort in knowing and believing that sometimes all is not as it seems, but so very much more. That the hope that springs eternal in someones soul, needs Faith to keep that flame a blaze and open loves door.RICARDOI've...I've walked the darkest roads, and stared into the dark abyss. I've felt the cold hand of solitude and despised the loneliness.I've sensed the emptiness of heartache, and cursed the anguish and pain.I've heard my conscious talking to me, and sometimes felt I might go insane.I've tasted the bitterness of another day, without someone to love.I've seen and felt the warmth of the light , come to me from above.I've known that I will survive, and that all will someday be okay..I've had faith in my heavenly Father, to whom I will always Pray.I've had a dream, and it is up to me to make that vision come true.I've dedicated myself, and one day soon, I am going to find you.RICARDO
