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

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 .

me want a true blue baby

but no want one her story hazy
no want
she drive me crazy

me no want one white, brown, yellow
wit a bedtime
dat's too mellow

make a meal? she feed me Jello?

me no want red, black nor green
a fiend too mean to her fellow
no carry tune;
her cello


no - baby - no


me want a true blue baby
float you like she navy
don’t care the hair is wavy
she don’t call the sauce is gravy

me want a true blue baby

them mustard greens she make me
she know them Blues that save me!

they
true blue baby

true blue, true blue - my baby

true blue!

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

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

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.
