Phone appointment, attended
A friendship offer, extended
"Remember our past torment?"
We dive in with amusement
Text messages, a flurry
Memories slip and are blurry
Is there space for me?
Sure, we chat about tea
The "I" and "me"
Slip to "us" and "we"
Our passion ignited
So happy to be reunited
The good times begin
Let's accept the win
A friendship extended
Two hearts are now tended
Our souls in love, as far as we can see
Friendship forever, I think we can agree
Eyes glassy blue
Skin tired blush
Quivering breath
Her mind in a rush
Talking with eyes
Speechless in giggles
Awkward silences
She wait for signals
Sarcasm is common
So much left unsaid
He knows her feelings
Laying next to him in bed
Protecting the other like a sibling
Loving like best friends
They say it's for the best
Neither know if forever ends
I had been feeling restless for some time,
But today, I awoke in the afternoon
Feeling truly at peace for the first time.
A sense of calm enveloped me,
Along with focus and drive,
As a myriad of emotions surged within,
Like a soldier readying for battle, he rides.
The burden had lifted,
In its place, victory stood firmly,
Next to the kin that surrounded me.
I wondered who this entity was,
That has taken shape, shining.
His head held high,
In perfected pridefulness.
If he was tailored for this purpose?
Though I felt grounded,
My victorious battle was the pinnacles!
Pearls of wisdom on this journey.
Direction seemed to emerge,
Greeting me with a handshake.
This profound state,
An altered consciousness,
I questioned; am I home?
To: Todd Bradley
Oh, the joy earned,
Having a friend like you
A model of the ways of life
Next to me in innocence.
To open up my heart,
Not afraid for you to see
Or too displeased to care.
To rest in silence,
Savoring our tender tie
Oh, so close to you sharing
Moments of our lives passed.
The soft aura that we shared,
Throughout this friendship,
The purest of all.

The true friendship
Its the bod that can't be broken
A bond that's there when no other bond is
The bond that holds you when your sad
The thing thats apart of your life
The bond that you can't live without
The coldness of rejection
The hatred that you get
The words that hurt
The feeling of being alone
The bond breaks all bonds
From sadness to excitement
Through rain and bad days
Its the one thing that never leaves you
The one bond that can be made over a day
When you see the person
Who you connect with who you bond with right away
Its the one thing that keeps us alive
The bond that's like a family that's never gonna leave you
Its the bond i will cherish forever
Its a blessing to have the bond
*(These are some Senryu poems about bestfriends.) *
My best friends and I
can talk with each other with
facial expressions
Friends can face-slap
insult each other - we know
each other so well.
We can spend a whole
day, at the park, just sitting
on the swings chatting.
Ever looked at your
bestfriend and thought, “We should be
standup comedians.”
Some Senryus about
Bestfriends - the kindred spirits
we're lucky to know.
Boys are "whatever,"
but bestfriends are forever.
That's the way it is.
We tell our secret
fantasies - that we exchange
in sworn secrecy.
Bestfriends: the girls you
only stay mad at briefly - 'cause
you've news for them!
A bestfriend would push
you into your crush and yell
"get some!" then run.
BestFriends.
Like the bunch of flowers
in the garden that showers,
life time we remain
to the end we maintain.
in times of difficulty
we are the faculty,
for our hearts speak
as we go high peak.
turns may slide
while we ride ,
journey is long
for us to prolong.
Friendship sails
with life wails,
like a bridge
in the ridge.
Always tends
to the heart which rends,
to make each one
to break none.
Life is awesome
for love to blossom,
in the bliss
of the vis.
