Reading the poems of Richard Walhne is very much like opening your mother's lingerie drawer and peaking inside. It's full of erotic metaphors and scattered longings. Richard was obviously adrift in the last two years of his life on a stormy current that battered his being and essence. Each poem is a snap shot of those days. We hunch inside the ship of his life as it is cast about. Lightning suddenly illuminates the sky line only to be swallowed by the dark. My favorite poems are: I danced with you, Today I wear black, I walk around and You mean the sea to me.
These poems are both approachable and private. In them Richards musical voice lives on.
