Poetry

By Sharon Richards

Love's Mirror

Return, return
That special love
Was not to be earned
It is never in question
Within and outer reflection
It is felt in every moment

No reminders required 
No doubts you are the one
Who inspires me to heights
On this plane and 
The unseen one

Your love never demands
Nor does it reprimand
It simply is all
I feel for you
You feel for me

On one another
We are not dependant
We each alone are resplendent
Our higher selves discover
Following life's path 
In our souls, unique as lovers 

Just happened this life time
I came into knowing
Of you as the spirit flowing
Inspiration through me 
And it is rather pleasant 
The gift of my destiny

Given by the messenger- you
This message of love 
Shines on and through 
Before us it came
After us it's the same
All we are, All we need
All that matters
Yes- Love!

John 

Lovers across the universe
Even though some think it perverse
Not to be denied
Never have I lied
On the truth of loving you
Near to my heart oh so true

With Love,
From me to you

If The Rain Comes

The storm approaches
It refreshes a stifled air
Why shun the rain
So cleansing
So wet
Wash our minds
Clean from the dirt 
Of our lives

The sun shines
Too bright at times
We need the rain
To know the difference
Like day to night
Ying to Yang
You to me

About the Author

Sharon Richards lives in Orlando, FL.  She holds a degree in Broadcasting but her heart is held by John Lennon.  Spending years as a video production assistant and a decade in corporate America one element was consistent, she was always writing. When her business writing collided unexpectedly with her passion for John Lennon’s music, an explosion of creativity resulted.  “I've never been so passionate," Sharon says. " Studying John Lennon changed all that.  Inspiration is certainly at the base of most of my work.  I hope Beatle fans are open to it and enjoy reading my poetry as much as I have enjoyed writing it."  Sharon can also be seen at most Beatlefests promoting her book, Drop Forged Lennon, and its successor due out October 9th --  Drop Forged Lennon- the Other Side.  Check out her website at www.dropforgedlennon.com for details and upcoming poetic happenings with Sharon.
