This is for you my friend Because you are my brother Because we are so close Infinitely far away But no one else knows Better what's inside me And I in you and therefore My heart aches This is for you my friend Because you are my brother And one day we will sit Together in the shade Our garden grows And friendship grows alongside Nothing can stop that Art, I can only show My empty hands, friend My aching hands, brother But they are reaching One day you know One day they'll find And hold and who knows Maybe they will stay Because you are my brother *** July 12, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

What is going on on Soup these days? I don't do blogs so can only read between lines. First Silent One...now you Darren. OMG, you are both beacons of perfect poetry and decent human beings. What type of cancer has befallen Poetrysoup?

Thanks Heidi. I appreciate that more than I can express.

This is such a sad poem Darren and I understand where this comes from. It is sad how the words and actions of one or a few can be used to destroy another's joy. It seems ganging up on people is a regular sport nowadays. If you don't like something they do, start a campaign to eliminate them. Very sad.

Thanks Chris. I can't stand hate and anger, I almost left Soup a few days ago if it weren't for you.....
