Mental Meanderings
AMATRIX
This that I feel, cannot be
for sworn to one throu' eternity.
The bed so huge without him there
the house stays empty no matter who's there.
I long to be with you still to this day.
To feel your arms so strong and hugging tight.
Your breath on my neck and your smell, my life.
I know these pleasures with you
shall never return. It has been so long and hard.
But now how can I say, I've met another whose
warmth I would know. Our memories forever
I will hold inside, for you can never be replaced.
I know that were you able you would say,
"He is a fine man and no longer alone should you be,
Find happiness where you can and just remember me."
AWords
Words, powerful, elusive and frightening
the meanings they carry
emotions and feelings once spoken,
reality.
So many words over so long a distance
how can it be? Awakening within what
thouught dead forever. Again to rise
bringing the flood of torn emotions
to dare want or desire. A feeling
of closeness being held again.
Daring to chance to live again.
Not I for I know the ember he
ignites glows safely, protected by the
miles apart. That love pronounced, not reciorocated
woud be a friendship torn apart. So bask in
his friendship his warm smiling glow, for to risk
his friendship I could not stand.
FRIEND
My Friend there you are
Where ever I turn
Where ever I go
There you are
Though our worlds are distant
and hours apart
I feel your touch
I feel your compassion
I turn to you for comfort
That wonderful "Hello"
Whether it be AM or PM
You flash upon my screen
If you could see my smile
It goes from ear to ear
You brighten my days and nights
My friend there you are
If you only knew
How dear to me you are
Know in me
Your secrets and thoughts are safe
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
My friend here you have
got a friend in me.
