Free Cee When We Were Close We Both Became Verbose

WHEN WE WERE CLOSE WE BOTH BECAME VERBOSE The gentle man said words he'd never said to a man before he spoke as honestly as when a pacifist says “i hate war” we both came from the north and were exiled to the south as I listened to the gentle man say words from a heartfelt mouth we tried to spend as much time together as we could I, a man not so gentle and he, a man born to be good he said those words and it touched my heart and the worst feeling was when he would have to depart those words emanated from the soul of a heart made of gold and often he would play his guitar only for me to behold before him all my friends were junkies and fools this gentle man followed orders as we fools broke all the rules he said words he'd saved, I suppose, for someone he knew who cared and we'd trade stories, some of them embarrassing yet they were bared I speak to the gentle man as if he were my friend for years and though we only met recently as he spoke I was loosed from my fears we were both heterosexual but were made to be brothers and as I mentioned, he was unlike any others a true friend who appreciated the time we shared and by some inexplicable force we somehow were paired this gentle man spoke words he'd saved for a lucky man like me and those words flowed from his mouth so easily in mid-step he stopped as if by cue and said “i've never said this to any man but brother I really do love you” © 2012.....copyright PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
