Fleeting Friends
Grown apart
we became after
a long while,
Remember those days?
Daily talks upon hours,
endless laughter,
countless stories,
shared struggles,
emotional break-
throughs,
as we both sit next
to each other in
silence.
I always remember
my best buddy,
the one who saw
me when others
left without looking
twice and held my
hand with genuine
love.
A rare gem, one of its kind
The time continues to
pass us on,
memories

Echoes of What Once Was Friendship
Head full of dreams, not a single one shattered.
She had me, and that’s all that mattered.
Sure the hardships came and passed.
Just little things, they never amassed.
?
Slowly the hardships got harder and harder.
Soon, I had to think smarter and smarter.
Suddenly there was nothing I could do.
I couldn’t help, she needed someone new.
Perhaps someone more like her.
I

Farewell to Boris and Natasha
Boris, too short
Natasha, too thin
Which fairly describes
the pickle they’re in
Rocky’s got them surrounded
with friends tall and/or fat

Silent Echoes
A friendship lost in shades gone grey..
A bond dissolved, no words convey.
Silent echoes haunt the void..
The silence, i hoped, could be destroyed.
But bridges burned, beyond repair..
My heart remains in despair.
Once entwined, now torn apart..
You chose to lie, and broke my heart.

Dichotomy of Freefall
Summer soil melded
between bloodied feet.
There is gravel stuck
between bone and soul
in their arch. A curve,
a signature that belongs
to an individual, it is
yours and only yours.
It leaves a mark on that cliff
where children beat the heat
to feel gravity’s sobering pull.
Water is the safety net,
some simply

Embracing Goodbyes
In the shadows, I feel the bonds grow,
Attachments so deep, emotions bow
Their absence sparks a flame
Love and friendship that lasts the same
As they depart their echoes remain
A harmony of separation pushes the heart in strain
The friendships true a love that is so dear
In my heart’s chambers, crystal clear
The fear of parting, a clouded sight,
I trust

Farewell Friend
Allow me wrap you in my warm embrace,
so soothing and calm,
I could hear your heart race,
speaking to you was my healing balm,
I never imagined you were the cause of the aches.
Who knew so much could happen in this three seconds?
What did I do to deserve your hate?
When were you going to tell me I was

Embedded
Even though you're not here,
I miss your morning meows
I've ignored you parting from me
But, you haven't gone anyhow.
I remember six years ago,
When you came into my life
We had so much fun back then
Those years have `been our best flight!'
The best cat anyone could ask for,
Sure was super stylish for

Thinking of You Harry Horsman
The Winds of change have come again.
To think we've lost another friend.

I read your blog this afternoon.
A better place you've journeyed to.
God Speed Harry, thinking of You.
Dedication to Harry Horsman.
My condolences to his family.
Also want to thank Mandy a
True friend of Harry's for

An Unforgettable Meeting
"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" ~ by Constance La France
Only once I looked into her pale, weak face.
In white hospital sheets, she lay motionless,
A bag of bones! Her chest heaving high and low
In her eyes, a well of unarticulated pain
How could I pacify her or quell her fears
When both of us knew

L Milton Hankins
Since Milton left us,
my great friend at Poetry Soup,
I am not comfortable with his absence.
I don't believe in deities or the beyond,
to me it seems like nonsense.
but if there's anyone I'd like to talk to again,
surely Milton would be that man.

I Purge To Leave: For Milton
Fill not the heart with this pain of sorrow,
And remember this in your wakening tomorrow
Remember the joys, the laughter, and the smile
I've gone to rest for just a little while.
Although leaving caused pain and grieving,
But my going has ceased my pains
And it's given me such relief
I'm in a place where I'll be at peace.
So,

Church Bells Toll
Time for a sermon and a goodbye
It’s a solemn day
One to ponder upon
On the meaning life brings
To our doorstep is pain and suffering
Some joys of moments shared
But if it was going to be this soon
We could have taken more time in life
To live to the fullest
Dance in the rain, take trips to unknown lands
Make
