Such tenderness is hard to find
Such truthfulness, such open mind
Such beauty in the words I hear
Such heartfelt words I hold so dear

Her words to me are like a kiss
I keep them close within my heart
They light my day and give me bliss
To me they're much like works of art

I love this friend, is that so wrong
She makes my heart break out in song
Her eyes, the color of the sea
Her secrets trusted just to me

She knows they're safe wherein they're kept
The smiles she's known, the tears she's wept
Fat drops of rain that lashed her face
The snowdrops in a garden place

Her words are treasure shared with me
No eyes allowed to view the chest
The gold she gives lets my heart rest
But she alone does hold the key

I will not share this gold she gives
The smiles that lengthen every day
The words that fill my heart with play
The beauty that within her lives

I will not even share her name
Or share her wondrous beauty be
Our words are often much the same
Because she's such a part of me

Michael, I'm sure that she knows this. Such a friend is so good to have.
This reminds me of the way my Love and I have been from the very beginning. I know that's probably hard to believe, with all the revealing poems that I write

but he and I share many, many things that no-one else knows about.......
I'm so thankful that we were best friends before we fell in love.......

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Michael, this is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, this made me cry because this is so beautiful and believe the most magical thing about love is that the friendship always lasts and this is what I want for my Joanna and I! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Michael - You are a truly wonderful friend to this special person. I am sure just the sound of your voice is both a comfort and a joy to her. Loved this poem. Chris

Michael,

You've already convinced all of us through your poetry what a treasure you are. So good to know you have someone in the same category. You are indeed both blessed.

Enjoyed this poem, as I do all you write.

Warm regards, Pat

To it's tragic beauty
To pain and strife
Let all that dances through me

the earth will turn on as before,

the morning star, still kiss the dawn
