The first thing I saw was your face

It's softness like a web of lace

I looked up into a smile sincere

And knew consequently my heart would adhere

The paths we walked would never blend

Like a lame horse broken hearts cannot mend

And as I watched you go away

I felt the words I could not say

But I see know within your eyes

The tears have washed away the lies

Life is beautiful when lived in truth

Existing not in the fantasy of youth

And as you place your trust in mine

Embraces of love shall intertwine

Wasted days forever gone

Together we face the upcoming dawn

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Treasure of Friendship

I hold in my hands
A box of gold,
With a secret inside
That has never been told.

The box is priceless
But as I see,
The treasure inside
Is far more precious to me.

Today I share
The treasure with thee,
It is the treasure of friendship
You have given to me

Seduce my mind and you can have my body,
Find my soul and I'm yours forever.

Life without love is like a tree ~Without blossom and fruit.
~ by Khalil Gibran~

The things you fear
      are undefeatable
not by their nature
       but by your approach

Jewel

No stars were out this deathly night

Dark closed around me, though it was light

Looking for the gold paved road I lost my way

In desperation I searched for the day

The harder I probed, the more black I did see

I no longer could face the reality

Lower I sank, then fell to the ground

Trying to rise I was mercilessly bound

Cold and lonely, void of love

Wanting to reach to the world above

But afraid to achieve the uniformity

Of people the marionettes of society

My mind traveled though my body lay still

And through passage of time I discovered the will

And my reawakened eyes began to weep

I found the energy to leave my sleep

And though I my not be at peace till I die

Never again will I be ashamed to cry

 

Hopeless

I'm walking through a dark  corrider

Searching for a ray of light

Or the opening of a door

But all I do is continue to walk

The hall wasn't always this dark

But one by one, they left this dwelling

They took with them my dreams

And left behind only shut doors

You can't expect too much from the masses

They bask and linger when the sun shines

But as soon as the light dims

They turn their back to the night.

I'm coming to the end, and the wall is in plain view

Looking for the passage to make my own escape

But alas! I don't have the same freedom as the people who come & go

For 'tis I that is sentenced to remain here for life's eternity

My mind stands on the edge of a bottomless pit

My soul is sinking into an illusionary grave

The web we wove has become unknit

I want to live, but I'm not that brave

Years ago, but not that long

I felt a safety in my plight

In my head throbs an endless song

And the darkness of the hallway lets in no light

The battle isn't over, it's still being fought

But every small victory is another sweet scent

Of the freedom I want, without heavy thoughts

Though the life I had, is all but spent
