poems about friendship
The wife that I married
More than fifty years ago
Is still the best friend that I have
Love continues to grow
We have been lucky with our life
And have a close relation
With our daughters and grandsons
Beyond expectation
We encourage them with what they do
And support them when needed
They return the compliment
No cry for help unheeded
To stay friends you must try
To adjust expectation
You both will change as time goes on
Accept some adaptation

Happy Friendship Day (Posted on August 5, 2012)
Occasionally in life
when the bad out weighs the good
the ones you ended up trusting
are positively the most selfish.
narcissistic egos with an air of false sophistication,
cheap imitations.
and they will sting you when you are low
because they find it easier to ridicule
that which they fear most.
the danger of falling apart in public.
inspired by such fools are former lovers.
now, philanthropists of misanthropy
pretending to hide their black souls
from the world that doesn’t know them.
and they’ll cut you off just for fun
trying to soothe their wounded pride
because they think they’re better than you.
you are wrong and they are right.
slave track mind.
worst of all, when you’re on the bed
shivering in pain, you think about them,
about all the good times you had
and what good friends they are,
you even end up missing them.
and when you’re better you’ll avoid them
keep your distance and hate them.
while you’re slowly eating yourself
not knowing that you’ve already been damned.
that’s the saddest part,
you’re just as bad as they are.

Looking over my shoulder
She's always there
Always
She has seen me
In the worst pain
My life hangs
Over the edge
She is always there
Holding me up
Away from the darkness
That lingers around me
Forces me to open my eyes
And see the rays
Despite my fight
I know she's right
She will stand by and fight me
As i fight
Her and myself
Sometimes its not blood that bonds
Two beings together
Beyond that the horizon shines
She pushes me towards it
Its whats ahead
And she wants me to fight for it
I don't know
But i must try
She's always there
Always
She has seen me
In the worst pain
My life hangs
Over the edge
She is always there
Holding me up
Away from the darkness
That lingers around me
Forces me to open my eyes
And see the rays
Despite my fight
I know she's right
She will stand by and fight me
As i fight
Her and myself
Sometimes its not blood that bonds
Two beings together
Beyond that the horizon shines
She pushes me towards it
Its whats ahead
And she wants me to fight for it
I don't know
But i must try
Drawing Strength From a Star
in a world so dark and full of pain
and every reason to be insane
within the darkness shining bright
without a reason to see the light
seeing the world as a better place
spreading love with a warm embrace
while fighting demons and kicking ghost
a vision that is lost on most
a simple thought for all to think
a simple vision for us to see
an inspiration for all of whom
fight the dark, the dread and doom
when the universe turns and the power shifts
and this life has taken all there is
with a hug to give and an ear to lend
a special person i call my friend
a connection felt into the soul
a forgotten place I used to know
where my smile has gone to try to hide
you look in me and see my light
you make me see that I can be
full of love AND misery
that its ok to feel the pain
and sometimes fine to be insane
my gratitude I send to you
for being here to help me through
knowing you don't want the praise
it's offered to you all the same
in a world so dark and full of pain
and every reason to be insane
within the darkness shining bright
without a reason to see the light
seeing the world as a better place
spreading love with a warm embrace
while fighting demons and kicking ghost
a vision that is lost on most
a simple thought for all to think
a simple vision for us to see
an inspiration for all of whom
fight the dark, the dread and doom
when the universe turns and the power shifts
and this life has taken all there is

a connection felt into the soul
a forgotten place I used to know
where my smile has gone to try to hide

you make me see that I can be
full of love AND misery
that its ok to feel the pain
and sometimes fine to be insane
my gratitude I send to you
for being here to help me through
knowing you don't want the praise
it's offered to you all the same
With You
When we sit and talk
I await your coy glance
it takes me somewhere,I've never been
the space where air,and fire dance
illuminating all the gloom
kept deep within
the rarest of beauties from inside to out
extraordinary,to say the least
I admire your individuality
above all else
and your caring nature
can give ones mind peace
I'll help you find a place to stand
or be there,when it all caves in
no matter what happens
I want you to know
I'll always be,a trustworthy friend

True Friendship
A friendship known
forever bound
with stories told
to each other
never known to all
Friendship forged
through sorrow
and hardships
never forgotten
between true friends
on the dying bed
friends hold hands
saying farewell
with tears
to pledge, we will meet again.
