Friend Poems

To strangers we portray a first impression of our choice
We always employ the a natural tone in my voice
A stranger’s curiosity evokes our own
Mistrust clouds us, kindness is easier to reckon

Their amicable innocence is like a mirror
That cedes unadulterated judgments...Read More

I am not taking about an apocalypse
I am not talking about humanity’s ultimate collapse
I am not talking about shores battling oceans
This is not about earthquakes inhaling hurricanes

This is about the threats to everyday relationships
The rupture of the tapestry of phratry...Read More

I was born to be a survivor and a fighter.
That's why I became a writer.
As a child the physical abuse I endured.
Being a baby it was pretty absurd.

The child of recovering addicts.
Even one that still until recently would slip.
Watching a...Read More

~~A Unique Wedding Ring~~

BRIDES have wedding rings so lovely,
in all colors, some with precious stones,
But you may not have mine, it's too
unique!

BRIDES really are their husband's sunshine,
in dresses traditional or new.
But I was married wearing a raincoat,
Love makes the vows,...Read More

I have a friend I rarely ever see
I can't remember when I saw him last
It's funny, but he looks a lot like me
Regardless of how many years have passed

I do recall one morning years ago
I woke and went outside before...Read More

Open minded is the word in her vocabulary
Always there to listen
Suggestions, solving and sequence is her name
Always ready for action
My one and only

The laughter we share
Leaves a twinkle in her eyes
The tempers we have
Leaves the audience speechless
The strengths we combine
Leaves...Read More

The Vinaceous Valentine 1956
As Remembered: by Tom
2-24-2020

Nothing hurt more than perfidy of this friend,
I can still hear her words, “you are so uncouth.”
but it didn’t take too long for my heart to mend,
what rendered the pain, was that it wasn’t...Read More

We've all been waiting for the dawn
Like its all we ever could
Think of it now
Its all written down 
Left to night served them right
Till the end leaked out again
You stood there in an empty square
Looking for a friend
The solemn light...Read More

I remember 
being maybe eight
you were my idol
my big brother
we used to laugh
and carry on
sometimes we’d
even dress as cowboys
but most of all
you were there
when times were rough
how quickly
the years flew by
but nothing
can erase
the vivid memories     ...Read More

I am silent But not silent


is . My love with thoughts

My worldliness

Magu na someone

I am so

Just happy with thoughts



Please consider yourself

Karu na kisi se plum

Because don't walk

Now against someone's my feet



Am happy With thoughts

Now I have no berry





I stop it...Read More

From Russia with love

Russia is a strange and great country, not quite in Europe
and not quite Eastern, they react to mayhem but seldom
intimate it; for those who are history less they won
The brutal war of 1940 and 1945 by breaking...Read More

Dear poet
I saw your lies written on a piece of paper 
Wrapped in a beautiful brown envelope 
Those sugar coated words all in black 
Symbolizing your love for another man's love  

Dear poet
Yesterday was valentine day 
The day you...Read More

So long, Marlene, we mean to say, we'll miss you when you go
The thought of you will cheer us through this tide of chill and snow
Through winter storm stay snug and warm beside the fire's glow
May you abide the growing...Read More

My friend
She is an angel
She is my confidante
Understands me so well
I love her with all my life
She is my power and style...Read More

Let’s have a shandy,
With shantelle.
Why???
Because she is rock, our stone,
In the mist of adversity,
She stands strong,
On her own.
She stands for those who have NO backbone,
She is a rock,
She is a stone.
To Shantelle,
We know welly.
Alone, she stands!

Is silent The word

In his arms

The arrow that they have shot through the eye.

We were defeated there

Where he has smiled a little.

Word by word

They have taken care.

Now scared.

Losing them

Heart has made him his own with great pride.

Is silent The word

In...Read More

I have a best friend I always go to see
He has been a loving life-long companion to me
Always loving me anyway I look
I don't have to be glamorous like some in fashion books
He treats me as an equal, never under-rates
Even...Read More

to the outer space girl I have not yet met:
heard a lot about you from my good friend.
the way she talks of your presence, it sent
her in a spiral, a magical bend,

a fit of bubbles and gleaming sunshine.
you are every...Read More

Tribute

Bright star, ascendant,
Now too quickly gone,
Light becoming -
Bright as transparent rainbow colors
Made of sun and storm
Lingering on the sky 
With not one color unseen,
Full spectrum complete
Of joys, of tears, of hope -
Abiding memory
Of child becoming one
With woman
In endless summer days
Winter...Read More

Ere some three or four-odd days
Began our nature show some craze.
The people, truly afraid, to say,
Nowhere did find a place to stay.

The initial portension was a fire,
That left a pile of ashes and mire,
But no one knew whose was this...Read More

HANDS

ambidexterous, mine and yours, yet clasping each other
in prayer for poets - and Elizabeth or Lisa - best for sister, mother...Read More

The storm unleashed
Rages on;
The sound and fury
Instils fear.
Where are the seafarers?
Those standing on the beach ask  
Without urgency to know.

Be patient, my friend, 
Let us peer beyond the darkness
That is spreading wide
And dreamily run our fingers
In the wet sand;
There...Read More

frangipani

did you imagine I could leave you
trapped in quick drying cement
locked forever on a bed of strangers coral
with only sea spray falling on the reef
to mourn your passing?

no my friend
you're coming back with me
precious cargo safely stowed
freight forward

flight 89 climbed...Read More

As Eager Sun Rose, Rewarding Its First Bright Gifts

As dawn woke, uttering shining of its first rays
Night's darkest veil vanished into whispering winds
Rooster's clear crow, signaling a wonderful day
Full of life, with golden treasures love's truth portends
Bliss a'flowing as our...Read More
