How many poets
Have you inspired?
With your locked in beauty
And your color hard-wired
I guess it might be
Quite a few
As you tumble down
Flashing into view
My prayers are this
Perhaps every day
That you land on me
Then decide to stay
CV 14/9/26
Balloons they float
Across the sky
In rainbow mood
Excessive high
Intruding birds
Like cloudless thoughts
With do's and don'ts
With musts and oughts
Above the trees
Rooted, they cheer
They dream of floating
Far from here
The gusting breeze
Can guide your joy
Away from ground
That can destroy
The brightest hopes
Of friendship's love
Enduring winds
Of push and shove
But bright the sky
If dull the heart
The journey home..
Yet, first depart
From dreamscape fields
From comfort clouds
To launch away
From chains and shrouds
The freedom of
The endless blue
Of eyes and skies
So pure, so true
Friendship,
heat in the heart
against adversity
in life...
Friendship, a full trip
of happiness...
a composed song
of flawless notes and chords,
a melody of love... !
friends are stars
out of heaven they are
always looking out for us...!

There is a love which lives deep within
A genuine one which will never go away
No matter how one might try to release it
In our hearts and minds, we find it stays
Whenever another touches our inner being
While bringing their pleasant peace inside
We find ourselves to become comfortable
As we begin to embrace them in our lives
They may become genuine friends who care
They might become sisters and brothers too
They brighten our lives each time they speak
Changing gray skies to ones of crystal blue
The hearts of these special ones we care for
Are so genuine and selfless in every way
They are in our lives for special reasons
By God, making sunny cloudy and rainy days
Whether you are a dear sister or brother
Or the truest friend one in life may find
You are a treasure to those who love you
Because of the selfless heart in you they find.
~~Monday Dude, A Great Neighbor~~
Always joyful, always up.
He knows I hate almond nuts.
He's young and so handsome,
and a total treat.
With a sense of humor that's
quite honestly, hard to beat.
Funny, I never recall his name!
So Monday Dude, is what I
have baptized him to be.
A very special person to me.

This poem for me, is wonderful.
Monday Dude is a real person, who asked me
to write a poem about him.
He's a real neighborly kind of human being.
Nobody ever asked me to write a poem about
them...that was so sweet!! An honor!!
Complicated but still robust.
Primo the best attitude.
Not manifested by time,
stay put 'til senectitude.
Moments not forgotten, has graditude.
Keeps moving forward.
Different goals, dreams hoard.
Swallows pride, shirk back stabbing crowd.
Commitment unsaid, probity the ring.
Trip, flop, drip, drop be pulled.
Feel worthless, serve like a King.
Wont let you sink
drown deep down the sea.
Friendship not a shaking ship.
Despite our paths have parted...
Our roots still remain
Like plants being flung out of orbit...
our friendship is much the same
We shared memories, laughs and conversations...
Which simulated our brains
The bench by the beach...
Which we sat talking all day
Our friendship which has blossomed..
has not and shall not ever die
For when our paths cross throughout the seasons...
We pick up from where we left off
As if we never said...
...goodbye
True friendship is a gift,
Oh so precious and so rare,
Sometime's we take it for granted,
Sometime's we do despair,
Our fault is being human,
Mistakes are everywhere,
Please let me not lose the gift that is so precious and so rare,
Are friendship!!!
Not at all impressed by a picture show
Or by who it is that you may know
Nor does it matter what others may say
Your words and actions are what pave the way
Once we meet is where it will all start
Friendship comes from the heart
If your actions and words don't ring true
Then will anyone waste their time with you
Believe ones looks can't always hide
What for them is truly deep inside
Because for only so long can one be fake
Before their real self comes out by mistake
So be yourself and hope for the best
Pick your friends wisely and walk away from the rest
Find who and what makes you complete
Believe it or not it will all fall at your feet
So if your interested in the picture show
And think that by looks is the way to go
Your going to miss out on people that are really great
Because of the way you think people should rate
All you need to do is open up that book
Forget the cover and take a look
You may be shocked or even surprised
At what could have escaped your own eyes
Because the beauty is always from deep with in
And that is where the best of friends always begin!

Across the world, I met a gentleman
Who makes me smile and laugh
he sometimes comes across as serious
but needs to show some craft.
I see a loving and caring man
I see a confused one too
but most of the time I see
an amazing you.
We dream and wonder
if we would ever meet
Oh how wonderful it would be
Oh how sweet
I am not a poet
but I do like to express
my feelings that I have
that I would like to address
I know mine are strong and much
more deep
I like to dream of what may come
when I fall asleep.
My dreams are my own
in my own little World
of you and I
I ponder and whirl
Please let me hold you
and make you feel better
by sending cards,ecards and
snail mail letter.
You make my life brighter
with your witty remarks
You make me smile
I see light instead of dark
I pray that this will shine
forever in my heart
my feelings for you
came from the start.
And I hope that whatever this is
will continue to grow
happy and healthy
As the mighty wind blows.
