I am so honored to call you friend.
You have brought me sunshine,
in times when I was feeling low.
Today is such a grand and special
day because It's the date of your birth.
The world is a much better place
because you are in it my dear friend.
I'm so happy I came across the likes
of you in Soupville.
Because a true friendship was born.
My birthday wish is that you, Have
wonderful and blessed life!
Happy Birthday Bobby May:-) Alexis

To smile at someone for no reason when you look at them, is when you know the feeling is mutual
To talk to someone where the field is always open, that's when you know you have encountered moments of trust
To know that your heart hurts for someone, is when you know your in love and your love for them is unending regardless of the situations you may go through
To have a strong and healthy friendship, is when you know that they are always on your side just like your on theirs'

Different skies
Different sunlight
You wish me good morning
as I wish you good night
We met in the middle of time
Where you shared your life
And I shared mine
Different places
Different traditions
You have given me friendship
With no restrictions
Same heart, same mind
Two souls instantly twined
And even though we can not
sit face to face
In my heart you will hold
a special place.
Our souls may not be together
But they are joined at heart
I believe finding you is bashert.

Funny comments on our poems got us working together
Really love receiving your mail
I laugh every time we collaborate
Even though we’re both male* (JOKE)
Never dreamed of a friendship so strong
Don’t know if we will ever meet

Telling people we were never friends.
That our whole friendship was a lie.
No need to lie anymore cause this is where it ends.
I don't need someone who starts rumors about me.
And I'm done with all your crap.
You didn't know how I felt.
But I guess now you do so open your eyes and tell me what you see.
Stop telling people it's my fault you got caught.
Cause it's not right making assumptions about things or people.
Maybe if you think about it this is just a lesson that God thinks you need
to be taught.

My heart says, "It must be now"
My mind says, "Why is this not sparking?"
so that is why I'm writing.
When we are together I forget anyone else is there.
But somehow, there is no flare shared.
"Why? Why?" I ask myself.
I tried to understand it, and it seems I've caused a mess,
for our contact continues to digress and digress.
There's still a soft spot in my heart for you,
In what way? I wish I knew.
I'm oh so filled with sorrow
am I to be forgotten?
I hope we can meet again
to attain a strong friendship.

I watched you as you flaunted other women in my face,
Like you were a catch, and I should be in your race,
Selfish man, did you really think?,
That I would lower myself in your game to compete?,
No, No, No,,,,that's not how it goes,
And if you lie from the door, I'll already know,
I will be nice and kind and offer my friendship,
But if your playing games, I'll call you out, you should know this,
I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt,
I'll remain your friend until you figure it all out,
By this time, you won't see me as you did before,
Because back then you were just trying to score.

Your friends with benefits are no true friend:
as (au contraire!) your friends when used are a
perverse weed from which you must then defend
against when trust and friendship sweep away;
your friends aren't lovers' toys to be abused
or spent on reckless nights of screwing (them)
where prudence is forsaken and unused
because you just feel like it on a whim.
But if you choose to love your now good friend(s)
then do so at your own risk and danger
as oftener than not you'll in the end
only create just another stranger:
if you err in this but ne'er broke your word,
then this you may forswear you read or heard.

What is forever,
To be with you always my handsome prince.
What is forever,
To be with my beautiful relatives and friends.
What is forever,
Forever is a long time and you can't touch the rainbow.
What is forever,
My handsome prince I love you and i will miss you very much.
What is forever,
My friendship with you is immortalized with God's kingdom.
What is forever,
Your handshake is etched in my mind as our warm friendship.
What is forever,
The hug and kiss spontaneously, your caress and appreciation of my art and poetry.
What is forever,
God's blessing and friendship through the years.

I do not know?

How is it
You were completely unaware
That the innocence that laced
The edge of my being was
Brutally unraveled
each time you spoke my name?
Why is it
that the feelings that were
reserved
for you never found their way
across my lips to caress you
as they should have?
When was it that I
finally succumbed
to my inevitable truth?
That as I long for you,
You course through her
Because I never learned
to fight for
what I wanted.
How can it be that
though I tried,
I was never the one
who lit you up like
July fireworks
and
I was nothing more to you
than the whisper of a friendship
that had no meaning.

It was a good morning until I found out the truth,
That my dear husband was a two-timing fool.
He was already married to a lady named Ruth.
I loved him so much; how could fate be so cruel.
When I got the news, he was on a business trip,
I learned the line between love and hate was thin.
His actions caused the death of a lovely friendship.
The legitimate Mrs. was able to get under my skin.
So my degree in finance came in real handy,
I took my ex to the cleaners with one click.
Met up with my first love named Randy.
I'm sure when he swiped his card, he felt sick.

Thank you for all that you planted in the garden of my heart
Am happy to add all them in my love cart
In the book of memories I remember how we met
Share your love as hate rips the love debt
I love the friendship we share and all the love you care
You are the one I turn to when I am down and need an ear
No matter how many times we had our petty fights
They were faded away on the same nights
I thought am strong, but realized am weak as we grow
I got hurt but tried to ease the pain as time flow
I don't want the little hellos to be crushed by the good byes
As you were always through my highs and lows
Rain or shine,near or far, our love and we grow in pair
I loudly can say the world that our Love is in the air

Friendship is hard
It is like wearing an old sweater some days
The yarn becomes unfrayed
Other days it's like a pair of high heel shoes
Wobbly and crooked is my gait
Some days it seems no matter how hard I try
It's like pulling teeth trying to communicate
It's just seems awkward to try
Mind reading and mind bending
It's like jogging in the park at dark--scary and unnerving
Some days I wonder why I even try
Is this effort worth it all?
I am just too shy and nothing comes out right at all?
At the risk of sounding too critical
I'm just no good at this initiation phase
Starting all over is the worst part of the fall
Shall I quit or start all over again?

Truth be told I miss you,
I miss the nights we'd talk,
And the laughs we'd share,
The immense power we would shift,
from one cosmic half of the earth,
To the other,
Transforming,
transfixed on each other,
and finding another plane of existence.
Truth be told I miss you,
I miss the love we shared,
freely and openly,
no questions asked,
no thought as to right or wrong,
Age was never a factor,
Distance could be quelled,
With just a thought,
and I would feel your arms,
wrap with strength around me,
And fall into their serenity.
Truth be told I miss you,
I miss thinking of you late at night,
wondering if I'm also on your mind,
I miss the beautiful friendship we have,
unrestrained, unexpecting, simple.
Truth be told,
I miss you.

As I think about all the times, I thought about letting you know how I feel; I was terrified because I didn't want to risk our friendship. We have been friends since grade school. But once I reached puberty, my feelings for you started to shift. They came crashing around my heart like a mack truck. Did I always have feelings for you and too young to understand such feelings? As time went on, I knew you never saw me as anything but a best friend/sister. So I pushed my feelings aside because I just wanted you to stay in my life. But now you are about to walk down the aisle in two days. My heart breaks, and there is something I have to say, I love you with all my heart. Please don’t marry her…..
With my love,
Your Best Friend

I meet you from world wide web..
You and me shared: "hi's & hello's"..
Asking questions that pops out from our mind..
Answering without further adieus...
I did not mean to be close to you...
I did not mean to dream we could meet..
I did not mean to like you...
Even I did not mean to miss you..
Days, months has passed by...
I didn't have any glimpse of you...
All I have are liquid pictures of You...
Not on a hardcopy but embedded in me..
I wish we can sit, share a meal..
I wish we can personally talk, leading to a deal..
I wish we can do this, not only in wheels..
Rather through long hours waking real..
My friend, I might not have seen you..
I might not have been always with you..
but, take into your mind...
Unwritten it maybe, We always have that bond: "FRIENDSHIP"..

who didn't
love and admire
Milton,
or simply, "Milt"?
a true gentleman
and scholar
who gave...
so much of
himself
through friendship,
poetry,
and much more; a light...
that touched so many lives.
Milt,
you are missed, indeed.
Rest in peace, L. Milton Hankins. Thank you so very much for your countless supportive comments, and most importantly, your treasured gift of friendship.

MY LOST ROMEO
You're my only love
And I call you my love
You are my Romeo
And my inamorato
I feel so captivated
To be loved by you
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you
And finally will you marry me
You asked me
Yes I will marry you
And live my lifetime with you
I gave you wholly
I loved you unconditionally
I gave you totally
I loved you solely
Everything happened so fast
Present turned into past
It was not meant to last
It just needed to past
You became cold it was rust not gold
Beautiful memoirs turned spoiled as mold
Not even our friendship was saved
You just turned your back and faded
Tears left falling
Never heard my heart's aching
Leaving without talking
Your heart's not beating
Into the bliss fading
Into the dark not worth remembering
Goodbye to you my Romeo
And my inamorato

We wrote together and had so much fun
Then there was silence …
I wondered what I’d done
Days turned to weeks
Weeks turned to months
Finally I managed to track you down
You had not been well
But you were still thinking of me
Over the months I wrote letters and cards
Sent you small gifts and some of my poetry
Just so you knew
I was always thinking of you
Months passed with little news
But I never gave up hoping
We both shared a dream
Once again we would be a writing team
Suddenly quite out of the blue
In August an e-mail arrived from you
You were finally on the mend
Oh joy of joys my special friend!
So after a year we are reunited
Writing again - we are quite delighted
A friendship so strong that anyone can see
I’ll always stand by you; you’ll always stand by me

We've been weighing on my mind.
I'm sorry for my conflicting ways.
I have many layers to my emotions,
some I choose to listen to which end up betraying me.
I was disheveled, when you walked into
my story when things were extremely stormy.
The smile & laugh, which had quit eluded me,
came floating back within me.
It made me smile to know someone could still bring them back
to me.
That maze of which we spoke,
has many winding ways.
Way which lead to many places,
which most people do not stay.
Somehow though, I don't know why,
there is no spark within me.
We do, however, have a key,
the key to smiles & laughter.
After we began to talk I could see how you began to shine.
The many smiles, in that small time, should not become history,
for our friendship could be something great, but now is rather grey.
I understand if you decide
to leave our laughs and friendship behind.
Just do not leave me in the dark, to try and solve the mystery.

I tell the world of you,
Your smile and your glow.
The fondest embrace you gave
Made a mask of lies fall off,
And gave tears to a dry set of eyes.
I say, “Nevermore, will I plead
For a burgundy hue to cover me.
Nevermore will my hand scrape for dust.
Nevermore will pain be inflicted
In my beating heart, I say.”
But, a sound of silence
Eyes that stares at each other
With interests and fondness,
A gesture of friendship so pure
And a conversation of anything,
Broke past my iron walls.
So beautiful, the eyes and lips.
So beautiful the smile, such bliss
It makes a darkened sky weep with light.
But oh, not mine, not mine
Never ever might be mine,
Never ever could be mine.
Say, should words confess
Its true desires, its long yearning,
Will it happen that your ears would listen?
Will your eyes look at mine,
In the same way mine looks at yours?
Will I ever get a chance,
Or will I just look at you,
Forever smiling faintly?

Lyric

These long days of summer
seemed longer than most,
and I recount the changes
as the season draws closed.
You turned a year older
and learned how to drive.
You tried some new things;
God knows how you survived.
You learned about friendship
and boundaries were drawn.
You learned about trust
and who you could count on.
I sat back and listened.
I tried not to spy.
I watched as your heart broke
and I tried not to cry.
I witnessed the changes
as the distance kept growing
until you drifted away
without even knowing.
As your mom I can see things
that you can't understand
because your heart's still a child
though your body, a man.
This summer brought changes;
so many it seems,
but the greatest of all
is between you and me.
I'll fight for my little boy.
I will hold tight your hand
and help you traverse
your path to a man.
It's going to get bumpy;
This road isn't smooth,
but if we're steadfast together,
the reward will be huge.
I don't want to lose you
and I won't let you fail
so one step at a time.
Inhale. Exhale.

You said you didn’t want me
And I said I didn’t care
But my caring is what pushed me
To do what I’d never normally dare
Both sorry yet relieved, you tell me more of you
I know it’s not meant to be, for you never had a clue.
But sometimes I wonder, if the timing was just not right
And that when it is, perhaps you’d see the light
Only for it to be too late,
How I pray I wasn’t rushing fate...
Now to what you do, I’ll turn a blind eye
I am tired of my heart tricking my mind…
No.
The real man of steel is just a bit slow on the wheel
He's driving this way, I'll meet him, someday
He’ll come to me when I least suspect
His love will grow from deep friendship and respect
He’ll know I’m her, before I can know
That something about me makes his eyes glow.
I’ll be on his mind, and he’ll let me know that
No heartaches, no pain, his feelings will be out flat
Then! I’ll laugh and wonder what I saw in you
And realize we were never right, like water and glue
I wish you no harm,
I regret causing you alarm
I pray you find what you’re looking for
As for me, my heart has been mended by my Lord.

Simplicity…I have always been an advocate of simplicity.
Of telling people to stop and smell the calla lilies.
Of telling people the heart should always be followed, and to
Never listen to those who would bring you down.
You, my friend, are simply the best thing I have.
Of all the things that make life hell and hard, you are a heaven, and are never
Undervalued.
Well? You know who you are. Hearthfire. Bullfrog. Beloved dumbass.
Incidentally, you are also rather brilliant.
Long have you been the only thing that truly makes me smile, and I truly
Love how easy, how simply easy, laughter is with you.
Stay true to you, Hearthfire. You are
Extraordinary, and precious, and if
Even one in one hundred people were like
You, this would be a better world.
Of course, with that much awesomeness, who knows if the world could
Undertake such a venture?
And, regardless if the world could or not, the fact
Remains that as far as I’m concerned,
Every fifth shot of alcohol I ever take will be to you.
Long live our friendship, sweet love! May it ever be
Obscenely strong, and know that I treasure how I can be
Vulnerable with you. May you have
Everything that is good in life, my friend. Sincerely,
Daniexelle.
