My dear old friends, you’ve gone away
Looks like if some of you had not
Much time to spare, but that’s okay
I’m off as well from your kind spot
We met through game of circumstances
Of place, time, age and interests
Coincidently given chances
To be each other’s welcomed guests
Were taken instantly as if
Towards forever, but not quite
We shared our joys and firm belief
To find a home, and you did right
Now you are distant through and through
We’ve changed a bit, as it was meant
I might be not the one you knew
Same goes to you, to some extent.
Walking down a country road
I fell upon a baby bear talking with a hare.
They look like they were long time friends that didn't have a care.
How are you today said the baby bear standing up with his arms in the air.
I have a little problem today said the hare
But no one seems to care.
I can't seem to find where I put my carrots yesterday
I have looked everywhere even in the barn in the big stack of hay.
My carrots seem nowhere to be found.
My friend can you please help me track them down.
The two friends wandered off
In search of the carrots,
Along the way they found a trail that led them to a feret.
The ferret had a belly ache
You see he ate all of hare's carrots..
What a naughty feret
How thou hast shaped me, and increased my life,
O Rose! Before, I was a squall, a storm
of melancholy and dark, bitter strife:
a soul already lost like a vile worm
on a dry sidewalk on a hot, sunny day.
Without hope or joy, without faith or God,
I spiraled, and at risk of losing my way,
my hateful heart thought thoughts that none can laud.
But O, dear Rose! Reformed by thee, made whole
once more by thy bottomless love and wide-browed beauty,
I am a new being fashioned by thy sweet soul,
and now transformed through thine unwavering fealty.
Rose, my storm was broken up by thy light,
so that I'm no more a worm in God's sight.
My love for you is ill disguised
and many trying to advise.
A friendship isn’t ultimate prize –
I yearn from afar.
The flowers fade and vows now stale
as our future looks rather pale.
I dared to live beyond the pale
and yet, here we are.
in a strange foreign land
lone outsider
waiting on the sidelines
stumbles upon friendship
and finds comfort
soul to soul
securing a safety net
experiences the freedom to let loose
to laugh and share the freedom to be free
within confines set by the heart
indelibly forging a lasting memory
to take home and treasure always

Inspired by the movie 'Lost in Translation'
You came to be on a cold winter day
My heart opened; you were her to say
Her heart belongs to another, so you know
I should have realized it was time to go
Here heart loved him, she was blind
Her brain hated him and his kind
This conflict gave hope, she is my friend
Said to her friends til the end
Her mind and heart now act as one
Her unconditional love he finally won
With this being said it has become so
With a broken heart I must go
The friendship will forever last
Our times together will be in the past
We share a bond that’s special and true
The kind that holds together like a strong glue
A goal to pick between numberless needs.
To choose only one that I might fulfill.
So often problems that were only seeds,
left alone grow into a weed-strewn hill,
and solving will take an unending will
Forgiving is often the task of two.
However, sometimes there is only one.
That makes it more difficult to embue
a gentleness in the bright morning sun,
kindness as night's stars exit, one by one.
But, I know that words can carry wonder,
and, in 'I forgive'' magic just may hide.
Because a friendship that falls asunder
is sadness one should no longer abide
Words can express more than only one side.
Once up on a giant sunflower,
A pink fairy lost her way in grand green fields
She sat alone for what seemed hours
When out of nowhere a blue dragonfly yields
Will you come and sit with me before you go?
The dragonfly stayed and sang a lovely lullaby
Follow the riverbed, listen to the water flow
The way to anywhere whispered the wise dragonfly
For some reason, he has me even after ending our season,
For that same reason, he includes me in his daily things,
The reason being what he has for me is his secret longings.
Talking sweetly, we walked slowly
Then you hit me in the back
Like a boulder I was rolling
Down the hill and down the track
That’s the friendship I’ve beknown
Still a great surprise to me
When too close I come along
Then you strongly disagree
There is no way to predict it
Was it an instinctive act
So I must have been inflicted
At the moment just like that
You can think about time stolen
Time you saved and time you own
You can see the leaves keep falling
Whirling down on your lawn
But you wouldn’t see me there
And my voice you wouldn’t hear
No one comes with news to share
No one says how are you, dear?
You can smile and feel aloof
Later, at another moment
Will you think of what was proved
By the love and sheer adorement?
I, me, myself and I alone,
were the only lyrics he knew,
cold, calculating, heart of stone,
no wonder our friendship fell through.
Why on earth would we trauma bond,
with he whose foot is on the brake?
Of such persons we are not fond,
since our happiness is at stake.
Wide awake and dreaming, this old heart never sleeps
wandering through a sea of feelings praying in for keeps
Cinematic colours of a seascape, hopeful joys
keep the currach in motion, as love's oar deploys
Dreams awakened we go now, paddling softly to the sea
steering gently through the water, it's just you and me
Tasting passions soft as silence through the salty air
companions, the gently kissing ocean laps, a lullaby lair
Who are you
Dan McGrew?
You sound quite mean
If rumours' true
You lodged yourself
Inside his head
Some seventy years
Still, now you're dead
A tale of love
Of bars and booze
The wheel of fate
Alas, you lose
The west was wild
Back in the day
As danger framed
Each male afray
But what of Lou?
The lady fair
Of unkissed lips
And tousled hair
A broken heart
May never mend
A scar unhealed
Until the end
So as our story
Precious told
Still held in head
Though tired and old
A life not lost
No shooting here
Just words uncovered
Crystal clear
By man with joy
For life, 'tis true
May soon reunite
With his own lady Lou
You got me
I was weak it's true
A terrene bond
By tacky glue
Too worldly;
Thoughts and self-desires
Is just not how my
Soul aspires
Hindsight hurts
I disappoint
Myself
Alignment out of joint
Yet, here I stand
The day is fresh..
No longer caught
In soulful mesh
Of thoughts so dark
Though light is small
I awake to hunger
For right and tall
So then, replace
Such mystic hope..
A little faith
Throws me a rope
The valley walk
Must surely end
Return to be
Eternal friend
My hands hold a strange reminder
Of your presence
When I pray
Or when I play
There's a texture of sadness
Yet a warmth of affection
A rough surface of unknowing
Yet a fireside tingle after the icy snowing
I may have travelled since you knew me
Or maybe
I still sit in the same chair
As memories clamp me there
