What's it like
With inferno as a friend?
She puts out the flames
To my bitter end.
She stopped me on that building
she pulled away that knife.
Without her, I must say
I wouldn't be here tonight.
I don't see why she talks to me
Even though I tried once to cover her flames
she put up with me
And ignored my childlike games.
She's a one of a kind friend
And I say this cuz its true.
I hope each of you out there
Have an inferno like mine too

FRIENDS
The word FRIEND has changed over the years
Once it was MEANT for people CLOSE to you
Now there are FACEBOOK friends...some of which I have NEVER MET
They are like my GENEALOGICAL family...many of which I also never met
When I grew up - we all knew - exactly who - EVERYONE was
Just on our street alone, they were PEOPLE THAT WE KNEW
Now I do not KNOW who lives NEXT DOOR
At work the word FRIENDSHIP is to be used CAREFULLY
For she will STAB-YOU-IN-THE-BACK mercilessly
If she can GET AHEAD that way
When I was a little girl - my first real friend came along when I was 12
Some of my school friends have been FRIENDS all my life
Other friendships expire after college, after graduate school
New friendships are forged when you get MARRIED
Your children's mothers will be friends with YOU
DIVORCE is the great DIVIDE
Some stay with you, some with the OTHER side
As your socioeconomic world changes, so do your friends
They have done studies and found that people have fewer friends
NOW - than any time in history
Many reasons are suggested - mobility, society....
It comes down to this
In the WESTERN WORLD...you cannot get lonelier than NOW
With all our COMMUNICATION devices...we talk all day
We SEEM to be SURROUNDED by people
It is an illusion for when we get home
There are NO PEOPLE...only pets, faithfully waiting for their master to come home

MY FRIEND, THE SEA
When I have a question
I go and ask the sea
The wild ocean sings and thunders
Beats against the shore
There is my answer
When life overwhelms me
I go and tell the sea
The roar of the ocean
Echoes my defeat
But look what the waves brought in
A little piece of paper
From a fortune cookie
The tide will turn for you it said
It assuaged my melancholy
I took my lover to the sea
When he was unfaithful to me
An undertow came and got him
I could not help and save him
The surf thundered as it sucked him in
The heart of darkness in the sea
Is the best friend a person can have
When I have a question
I go and ask the sea
The wild ocean sings and thunders
Beats against the shore
There is my answer
When life overwhelms me
I go and tell the sea
The roar of the ocean
Echoes my defeat
But look what the waves brought in
A little piece of paper
From a fortune cookie
The tide will turn for you it said
It assuaged my melancholy
I took my lover to the sea
When he was unfaithful to me
An undertow came and got him
I could not help and save him
The surf thundered as it sucked him in
The heart of darkness in the sea
Is the best friend a person can have

Into Blind
Hello ,
infinity night
your dead out there
although ,
I get your light .
It's lonely here
below the stratosphere
were nowhere near
but to me your clear
am I in your sights .
You became my friend ,
your dark
you listen
dogs bark
street lights glisten ,
no end
to your mission
you bend
comprehension
can I lend
some vision
to tend
my dimension
the other end
of the spectrum
you aprehend
all to be done .
So once again
hello my friend
you've always been there
you breathe
without air
I see you
when there's nothing there ,
no feet
but you get everywhere .
So when we meet
I hope that you still care .

I've walked the world in search of a friend,
I met countless strangers with all their hype,
None have I found totally independent,
No stranger looks at the sky and commands it to rain,
No strangers anger quenched fire,
No strangers pity brought back the dead,
No strangers words reached my heart,
Disappointed, I turned back and went home,
I've found no one,
I am my own friend.

Inspired By My True Friend - THANK YOU!
it is your gentle soul
always showing me love
touching words of comfort
say the sweetest things
you always lovingly listen
have passion for my worries
prayers lifted for me
always bring me back to God
way you make me laugh
turn my sadness into smiles
put up with all my craziness
pass no judgement upon me
make me feel like a person
worthy to be loved
how you hug my heart
tenderly with yours
I finally found it
a true friend is you
it is your gentle soul
always showing me love
touching words of comfort
say the sweetest things
you always lovingly listen
have passion for my worries
prayers lifted for me
always bring me back to God
way you make me laugh
turn my sadness into smiles
put up with all my craziness
pass no judgement upon me
make me feel like a person
worthy to be loved
how you hug my heart
tenderly with yours
I finally found it
a true friend is you

Long Way To Your Heart
I walk along the road called love
Crossed many rivers that were so deep
Lost my way to the rainbow of promises
Traveled down many shores of endless sand
Went against all the right ways
Somehow took all the wrong turns
Followed a shooting star across the sky
Still cant find the way to your heart
I walk along the road called love
Crossed many rivers that were so deep
Lost my way to the rainbow of promises
Traveled down many shores of endless sand
Went against all the right ways
Somehow took all the wrong turns
Followed a shooting star across the sky
Still cant find the way to your heart

MY FRIEND - THE CAT
I cannot take my human friends home
So I have my short haired tabby
Her name is Elly and she is true to me
But as a cat, everything is on her terms, only
While I am away at work
Elly sleeps all curled up
Her tail touching her nose
On the couch, from where she can look out
Supervise the squirrels and the birds
Elly looks like a little tiger
With her stripes and her sleek manner
A high level predator, walking silently
When Elly has had a long nap
She does Yoga when she wakes up
Stretching so gracefully to greet the day
Elly is always clean, she bathes all the time
Using that abrasive tongue everywhere
Making sure she is presentable
As she sheds everywhere
Vacuuming up after her is a daily chore
Elly has curious eyes - wide and yellow
Near her nose her whiskers fly
She has whiskers in the air, above her eyes
In her ears, her ears listen all the time
Nothing I do eludes her
She pretends to be sleeping
Turns on a dime - is at my feet and looking up
I am cooking supper - she will not leave me alone
She does not trust me with the food
The food she calls her own
Elly knows she is descended from Royalty
The Egyptian Goddess - Bestet - Goddess of Fertility
She has the carriage of a little feline goddess
As for the illusion that you own a cat
Forget that - you can own a dog - but a cat owns you!

sister
did I somehow manage,
in my weaked state,
to protude our love
and our sisterly fate?
I guess I never mentioned,
I don't know why,
that without you
my heart wouldn't survive
It might be the meds
that I was on
that I forgot how to love
forgot about our bond.
I'ts more than blood,
runs far deeper than the sea.
without you in life
there simply wouldn't be me

Friendsship is a state of mind,
A molding of likeness hard to find.
When friendship is really true,
Its amazing the feel it gives too you.
Karissa 'Sal' Callow a pretty girl with a beautiful face,
Gone from me now but the memory never replace.
My love for her will surely never end,
Even though violence took her away from me, she will always be my friend.
Mitchell Williams a guy with absoulutly nothing to lose,
Took his form from us thats the only thing he thought he could choose.
What hurts is we loved him more then he ever could know,
My friend in heaven and now we are unable to show.
I have many friends and I shared their life as they share mine,
And I know that for us we have limitless time.
But for my friends no longer here,
We miss more with everyday we show you in our actions when for you we shed a tear.

I wrote this recently-on here about my Best Friend-I can't write anything any better on friendship, so I am submitting this- even though I wrote it as a song, hope that is okay.
awoke this morning
regret stuck in my throat
feeling old and lonely
close to out of hope
Thought about you briefly
felt getting high..
remembered how we loved our life
and then I sat and cried...
[CHORUS[
[We sang with the Mariachi
drank margaritas on the beach
We flew around those mountains
danced on moons beyond all reach
We lived amid the sideshows
lived in mansions- young and fine
Nothing has been that fun again
since you said goodbye.]
Remember that time we hitchhiked
cause you wouldnt take a bus?
I wonder if you think of me
Then, I know you must-
I know that just like I do
You tell the story of us
((CHORUS))
[We sang with the Mariachi
drank margaritas on the beach
We flew around those mountains
danced on moons beyond all reach
We lived amid the sideshows
lived in mansions- young and fine
Nothing has been that fun again
since you said goodbye.]
Where did those good days go?
and where did they take you?
Remember how we sat and laughed
at the things we were gonna do?
You said "Hey, when we're 30,
we're gonna take a cruise-
and If we're like our mothers
you kill me and I'll kill you"
(CHORUS))
[We sang with the Mariachi
drank margaritas on the beach
We flew around those mountains
danced on moons beyond all reach
We lived amid the sideshows
lived in mansions- young and fine
Nothing has been that fun again
since you said goodbye.]
((CHORUS))
I'll probably never see you again,
I've moved so far away!
You said even then you could never leave-
We knew I could never stay.
Hey remember that time we stole Stuarts truck-
Spent the night in jail- kept them all up!
That was so crazy and we sang all night-
"The world has gone mental-but we are alright"
((CHORUS))
The time we saw Meatloaf-that was a riot!
Then you got drunk-puked in the pool-
got us permanently banned from the Hyatt!
I wonder if you're happy
Did you ever find the one?
Did you find peace? start writing?
stop smoking? Have fun?
((CHORUS))
How many state lines did we cross?
How many times did we end up just lost!
What about the night
we fell in love with Elvis
danced naked on the love-seat
made everyone jealous!
That was the night I
first saw you cry-so
we drank a fifth of vodka
and talked all about why.
Remember how we met?
Dating the same guy-
the look on his face as we
pull up and said HI!
Or that night in Atlanta
lost on the train-
we said just fuck it-
got drunk in the rain!
Remember I said I was going to school
and you said you thought that would be cool?
I spent 15 years learning
got papers galore but
want nothing more than
your self at my door.
((CHORUS))
So I hope you are well
and I go on with my day..
If you saw me now-
what would you say?
I put in a song-
turn it up loud-
remember we loved to
dance Salsa in a crowd!
So maybe one day-
then again, maybe not
Sometimes it feels
like memory's all I've got
End of my day
Im headed home-
remembering the show where
I passed out at the phone-
you said we should go
coz the concert was over
then said, screw it
scoot your ass over!
It feels Im just lost
not sure where to head-
last time I saw you-
there was no world wide web!
It's bed time at last
another day over
wonder what your like
since your probably sober.
No matter what
I know what I know
You taught me Seuss
and I'll decide where to go.
