FRIEND?



His eyes are like molten lava

he crucifies you with his wit

his smile is eternal and damages you with want

his mind as sharp as a million pencils

ready to pen a shakespearian tragedy

he holds us in his hand

carressing

inviting

tantalising

but will toss you away as meaningless

if you dont hold his attention



however I am so like him

lost in wanting something I can't quite grasp

it's on the tip of my tongue

gone





Duetting singing Rocky' songs

tap my feet

want his hand to hold mine

in time

make me feel I belong

He knows me too well

I'm dressed in his desires

never to deliver

yet in mind

I've been there a thousand times....



Love , no, there is not a name but FRIEND comes close

This work show amazing imagery and emotion...
Especially, these lines.

I'm dressed in his desires
never to deliver
yet in mind
I've been there a thousand times....

Those words convey part of the essence of life....

As read the elemental tenor, of this wonderful poem. I am reminded of qualities that evoke reflections of some my own past and present relationships.

This poem does what I feel all poetry is destined to do, you shaped your poetry into an universal theme.
You have captured the want and need of desire.
Poet you have hit the nail right square on the head, more than anyone would ever dreamt possible.

Peace
Dylan
