PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You said it once, my dear, dear friend--

then you wrote it down on the back

of that miraculous likeness of yours, where

you pose in simple, unpretentious elegance:



bare-shouldered, broad-rimmed black hat

tilted to the right, silvery white hair straming

over ear, & a clear look in your eyes

like unclouded summer skies--



"I love you both because

we think the same way--simplicity," you wrote



in that immaculate clear moment

of transfigured sunlight when



you smiled & handed me your friendship

in a simple gesture of immense transparent

love that spelled



s-i-m-p-l-i-c-i-t-y.
