and post notes and photos about your poem like Susan Manley.
This poem has been turned into song lyrics and set to music by me. Listen to the audio.
Note the music is (C) Soundful . I am singing ( I am not a professional singer, I do however come from a family of professional musicians. ) This was my first pass at recording Riptide. I have not liked subsequent recordings better (YET). That will come.
I wrote Riptide for my fiance as we were getting back together, after 12 years apart and 44 years of knowing each other. Every time we are together it's the same. Intense, passionate, our own little world. The only thing that has changed with age is its no topic barred. We know it all now. Wisdom has dropped all pretense. And that has made the union even more intense and more sweet.
RipTide
Photo credits That is actually our first hug. I did catch him off gaurd. It was the day they launched the train at the park we worked at. And yes, my skin really is that fair.
