Dear Friend

Debating which anime girls we like
Talking lots about Final Fantasy
Prattling on fun stuff endlessly
Exchanging words understood by our psyche
Urging the other in the written word
Seeing only where the other brightly shines
Supporting each other in troubled times
Sharing loud laughter at all things absurd
Encouraging the other in romance
Providing whatever help when in need
Believing that the other can succeed
Who cares if this was a product of chance?

Caring naught for any differences
For strength in friendship commands the senses

Songbird

The songbird sings the loveliest of tunes
With a voice confident, knowing and fine
Proclaiming the most delicate of lines
Made up with words to make anyone swoon
The songbird listens to all that I say
She listens to each word attentively
She always seeks new words to come from me
Whether they be white, black or shades of grey
The songbird keeps saying I could do better
She tells me to do so with honest eyes
And to such a challenge I gladly rise
Some friendly competition? I’ll let her

So I write words for the songbird to read
It’s her world that requires such a need

Suicide

I want to enter an eternal rest
I want to forget the feeling of pain
I want the nightmares in my mind to leave their nest
I want to cease trying to live again
I want it all to end before I go insane
I want an end to feelings of being a flop
I want to everything to stop

The Feeling of Love

It’s the warmth that radiates within you
It’s a connection no one else can touch
It’s a feeling everyone wants so much
It’s knowing that someone cares deep for you
It’s knowing what one feels without speaking
It’s doing things that make you feel so good
It’s enjoying life with someone - like one should
It’s an acceptance one’s always seeking
It’s the warmth of a hand one wants to clutch
It’s saying the most beautiful of words
It’s singing a better tune than the songbirds
It’s something that goes far beyond mere touch

It’s a sense of compassion like no other
Shared only with the one called your lover

She Makes My Day

She brings the sunshine when I’m feeling low
She makes all the rain clouds disappear
She creates the warmth to make my heart glow
She tells me all the words I want to hear
She makes me want to run, dance, smile and sing
She banishes away my misery
She gives me love because it’s the best thing
She makes everyone else green with envy
She makes me feel like I don’t need money
She just provides a pure heart to adore
She makes me richer than all men I see
She holds my hand – And who could ask for more?

I’ll tell it to the world, within this verse
I’ve the best girlfriend in the universe

The Fable of the Racist

Come gather ‘round children, it’s time you learned
About a man who promoted pure hate
Heed my words and this fable that I state
About a racist and the people he spurned
The man hated those different from he
He thrived on contempt and creating fear
Whilst his motivations were left unclear
Reasons didn’t matter as he could see
He got others into playing his game
He wanted all looking like him – the fool
Sharing this world was unacceptable
Black, Yellow, Brown, Red, They were all the same

He got kicked in the nuts – Enough to swell
But there was nothing to hurt – just as well!

Another Love Poem

Everything is clear. There are no mistakes
Emptiness finds a fulfilment so true
Long dormant emotions begin to wake
There is now so much to see, touch and do
And every day shall bring along something new
The sun is shining brighter than before
And this is what the heart's been waiting for
