Best Companionship Poems

I sit in upright chair feet firm on ground
Hands held in form of prayer as I intone
Phrase taken from the Psalms, without a sound
‘My soul, wait silently for God alone.’ 

Thus seated many things seek to distract
Intrude my mind; I’ve learned to let them go
In...

If you quest for a mate, I'll be yours if you abide
Friends and mates, a loop that will never glide.
In close propinquity to one another, we will reside.  
With our motley efforts, we can swivel the tide.
Fused by the bonds of oneness, harmoniously we...

The best I got from you… firm friendship
The world’s most trusted unsinkable ship.
     In this wonderful world
     With a colorful cord;
What I’ll give you is… cool companionship.



Dedicated to all my friends especially Tee~Y...

Insufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness
is also
more than sufficient ignorance
of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, despair, degeneration, decay,
anger and fearful partisanship,
climatic cultural change
in both Interior and Exterior Landscapes.

So which do we continue to commit to?
Insufficiency of deductive, reductive, Win-Lose knowledge?
Or inductive gathering and...

Shadows on lipstick
The pink is turning gray
Flakes in the corners
But I still have to pay
She said she was the best 
Not ten years long ago
I’d pay double back then
But I don’t want to love her
I just want to talk
She seems disappointed
To the point of being...

On a Wednesday
I wait for the arrival
Of friendly companionship
That comes on Friday
Something I cannot wait for
Yet I seem to disbelieve

I encircle myself with friends, who bemuse but still amuse me,
Who stimulate and stir my imagination,
Whose very existence adds to my life’s essence;
Choosing to eliminate those who disturb my aura.

I prefer to avail myself of only those
Who barge into my life, full of vim and...

I’ve grown to love you more 
and more each passing day 
Something about the way 
we both caught our attention
We could sense that we belong 
Sparks started fly between us 
Like a jigsaw puzzle fitting 
pieces of our lives in place 
We’re here to lookout...

Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.

Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?

Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each other.
House and hearts;
Open doors.

Friends..
Share the mountainous journey,
the struggles, the views.
Friends...

memories are the sweetest recompense when faced with imminent death ~ by poet

We were two for forty amative years.
I turned toward you for comfort and strength. 
You came to me with your deepest dark fears.
We lifted each other and talked at length. 

Each doted on...

Getting up early to embark on a trip,
a snowy drive to Jersey.
Trying to quell my heart's rapid beats,
favored songs in my speakers.

"Hey man, I don't want to be alone,
not for this - not again."
"I've got you, bud -
when and where?"

Visiting his grave one more time,
now...

You wonder how I'd treat you
If you had a date with me
No doubt I'd be enamored
So in that case let me see

I'd take you to a restaurant
Go from entree to dessert
Then finish with a cheese plate
And a brandy wouldn't hurt

But the main thing I would...

Me and the Trash Can

Here we are this evening, Just the two of us.
We’ve never had an argument, we’ve never had a fuss,

My little friend could tell a thousand tales.
Yet he’s always silent, though a fearsome smell prevails.

Here we are this evening, me and the...

In depths of solitude, I stand forlorn,
With shadow as my sole and steadfast friend.
By society shunned, from kinship torn,
I ponder on life's edge, its bitter end.

Upon the bridge, where thoughts of ending bloom,
My shadow's form beside me makes its stand.
This grim moment, midst the gathering...
