The very best kind…

field-981809_1280

We talk every day
About nothing at all
Nothing and everything
Depends on your call

We share the world
In tangible little bits
Rescuing each other
From the darkest of pits

We laugh and we cry
To help save our sanity
Sometimes spouting
A smidge of profanity

We listen and encourage
As often as we’re able
Even on the days
When we’re sort of unstable

We know each other well
Heart, soul, and mind
Friends like this
Are the very best kind

Every morning…

Every morning
I see your face
Yearning for
A warm embrace

And just the sight
Of your sexy smile
Makes my day
So worthwhile

The lonely one

beach-254480_1280

Thinking of you today
and I ask myself this…
How can anyone be lonely
when they have a million friends?
But I suppose it’s more than that
isn’t it?
It’s the foundation
the connectedness
the secret loyalties among confidences.
All these things matter
in order to gauge the true value of a friend.
And sadly
without the right combination
our state of loneliness
is never very far away.

Sprinkles of you

candy-1850949_1280

You decorate my life
In pinks, oranges, and blues
And every day that passes
Adds a hundred new hues

I find sprinkles of you
On the gloomiest of days
You always brighten my life
In the loveliest ways
