Betrayal

I sit here silently wondering why...
What did I do to deserve this action...
Yet all I can do is just sit and cry...
I tried to call you and you didn't answer.

You've shut me out and turned me down...
I'm hurting bad and don't like this pain...
You turned my warm smile to a frown...
It hurts even when I say your name.

I always thought you were too good for me...
you're beauty and radiance abounded...
for all of the world to absorb and see...
I never could be as good as you always were.

Goodbye my princess, you have left me alone...
Betrayed by a friend and someone I love...
I guess I won't hear you calling on the phone...
Or see your smile of feel your warm embrace.

Memories

Within my book of memories,
Are special thoughts of you.
And all the many nice things
You often say and do -

As I turn the pages,
And recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness
That knowing you has brought.

There are memories of the times we've shared
Both bright and sunny days.
There are memories of your kindness
And your friendly thoughtful ways.

There are memories of all those notes,
We would write back and forth,
When we would just get together,
And talk of this or that.

And when I recall these memories
As I go along life's way,
I find they grow more precious still
With every passing day.

Wings of a Butterfly

Your friendship is special
Like the flowers that bloom,
Or when a butterfly emerges
From within its cocoon...

You remind me of that butterfly,
Loving and free,
Bright and colourful,
For the world to see...

We will share sunshine and rainbows;
Sometimes, the rain and the snow;
We'll stand together through it,
While the cold winds blow...

When the time is right,
We won't stop to ask "Why?"
Our friendship will take flight
On the wings of a butterfly...

The Friendship Box

Into a box of friendship
To insure that it is strong
First a layer of respect
On the bottom does belong.

Then to the sides attach,
In the corners where they meet,
Several anchors full of trust,
Devoid of all Deceit.

The height of friendship can be measured
By the sides of four,
So make them all a larger cut,
And the box will hold much more.

Now fill it up with courtesy,
Honour and esteem,
Understanding, sympathy,
And passion for a dream.

Add to that your honesty,
Emotions joy and love,
And since they¿re so important,
Place them up above.

But leave the box wide open
So all can see inside,
To learn what makes a friendship work
From the box you built with pride.

YOU SAVE ME...

I try but cannot break free from the encompassing darkness,
Swimming endlessly, I find I’m drowning in a sea of sorrow,
I’m buffeted and hit by wave, upon relentless wave of despair,
Wanting to give up to the black, to not face another tomorrow,

Triumphantly it overcomes me and I surrender myself to it,
On my downward path where there in no warmth in sight,
I feel your radiance reaching down, trying to grab my hand,
As your words and feeling work to bring me toward your light,

I again feel myself now at the surface struggling once more,
Swimming with all my might for dear life, trying to break free,
Your soft words and gentle persuasion drive me further on,
With all your compassion and gentle heart, you try to save me,

In my mind I see your beautiful soft face and your loving eyes,
All the while wanting to feel the warmth of your arms in mine,
Slowly a smile breaks from deep within and shines upon the surface,
Does this now mean that I will again be happy, cheerful and fine?

Tired, I slowly fall into a somewhat restless and erratic slumber,
The demons in my mind running amok causing me nightmares,
Here so very far away from your caring, warmth and compassion,
I have to fight alone with all my darkest fears, as if nobody cares,

Gradually my happiness is erased from my very thoughts and dreams,
I awaken, somewhat shaken by the dream and start to softly weep,
Again, your angelic words rain down on me, as if from heaven above,
Returning me to comfort where again I can find a restful sleep,

This time your warmth and comfort endures and the dreams vanish,
Somehow you have helped me, beyond the miles we are apart,
Your strength caring and conviction hold my fragile slumber in tact,
And I awaken rejuvenated, by the fact I love you with all my heart.



That is an original poem written by me and inspired by someone very special to me.
