a poem written to me by a frnd
A Poem For Me By A Dear Friend
On such nights I cry out loud,
I am so lonely and alone in a crowd.
And then comes some one in my mind,
who can wash away my blues and render me blind
On such nights i wish for something bright,
like a wafer of a smile that can set all right,
Oh my sweetest,my glass of refreshing lemonade,
Sweetness galored when you were made.
On such nights i weep out loud,
far from those preying eyes of the crowd
These nights of loneliness and doubt,
Yearn for your adorable friendly bout...
Your psychedelic spirit is very addictive,
Not to forget that smile,very predictive..
I don mean "predictive" in any bad ways,
just meant that you smile always...
Keep that smile up my 'kik',
the world deserves more of it.
May you be loved by one and all,
Even by that hungry mountain troll
{If even a whiff of a smile dint cross ur face at that,
ill kill pat, my neighbor's cat }
On such nights you come to me,
like the summer sun under the silken stars...
"Winter nights under the summer sun".
Ul tell me "hansome ur crazy,u bum"
But one thing u r to me sweets,
Sunshine of My wintry nights......
winter nights under the summer sun
If u smiled at this i have won
