| Richard's Poetry for Anastacia |
 |
 |
| For Love's Sake While we create our memories anew each day, the dialogues of business are like benign memories of childhood. Stop playing at death, my love, and climb inside my heart. Think about all the love I bring; Don't let society's prejudices bring you to a slummy level. We have a really beautiful thing going on; Let God bring us delight for love's sake. |
 |
| IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT As fire and brimstone whisper in the distance, things salvaged from old pleasure ships belong just to us. Cultivate timidity, I say; develop a sense of humor when the inner world is but worldly possibilities. We are still friends in the heat of the night. |
