From arms unto breath.

 

 

 

 

 

"friend"

 

i say it twice;

 

i say your name

in an attempt to continue on,

so vast majorities

may know your voice...

 

and choices can climb

from several soils.

 

i pick up your soul

like morning's kiss

and observe words

that free us from fear--

 

so you know worth

without waiting

and atmospheres

that appear above clouds.

 

i see blond suns

and scorching skies pealed

with promise

and times that paint rainbows

the colour of care...

 

and the mention of "friend"

within second sights

and good intentions.

 

we are here for reasons,

lured by the cure

of literacy,

to induce seasons

inside ink's blotted beliefs

 

and you throw me

inside knowing,

to briefly see

through lightened lashes

 

ekeing eternity

past the squeaking of present

 

to sign twinges of expression

within etched emotions

 

of heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

Gaylene, I wrote 2 poems for you...this one and a sonnet with monorhyme...I didn't post my "smartass" write, but opted for a more "relaxed" tone. No one will understand the depth of this...just you and that's what's important to me...so I hope you enjoy it

    This is beautiful in all its hidden ways as well. I love poetry that has secret messages inside it for that person only to know. Well done. Thank you for entering this contest for such a beautiful lady. Best to you

    I would love to appear above the clouds after I go. This is wonderfully written. We are here for reasons I like that line. It was a pleasure to read.

  • Oh La this is just amazing! I couldn't have asked for more beautiful an thoughtful poem. You have been and are such a wonderfuly friend and I feel honoured by this poem.
    Thank you ever so much.
    Love always,
    Gaylene

    I always thought it was "peeled"

    I think I understand parts of the poem, but then again maybe not.... To me, it speaks of seeing the world through someone else's poetry, someone else's eyes. The images are nice, and the affection is obvious. I'd be proud to have such a poem written about me. Good luck!

    You have written something outstanding here.. Yes it is deep and yes there is some of it that I do not understand, but the underlying love and affection for a dear friend is very prominent, and that I truly felt.
    Friendships are so sacred in life and you truly honored yours
    with Gaylene.
    Beautifully done..
    Good luck in the contest.
    Much love and blessings,
    Soulful Woman
