PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

bonded since spirits

introduced through our work

immediate friends

every since that very first day

at least in my mind

mutually adopted sisters for life

and beyond

welcomed laughter

balm and unwavering support

for whatever is the other's latest

need

we are but too small though oh so

necessary parts to this volunteered

journey's yet known end

ever the fond fair nurturer

that is my dearly uncomplicated Lena

someone that I am so very proud to call

my friend

I.E. fellow poetess wannabe

just like me

she is always the so very beautiful same

so clever, caring, witty  and naturally real

she is quite clearly

the bonafide genuine article

ever always cheerfully embraced is this

sweet, gentle kindred spirit

in regard to the role she has so splendidly

played in my life

most eloquently put

the woman is my cherished confidant and

reality check

she is the one who can without preamble place

perspective upon my most chaotic view

Lena, my truly most compassionate one

all these carefully mentioned points are you

I love you my dearest and loveliest of friends

I truly do hope with all my heart

that we shall remain ever thus so

in a word

close............

so, I guess what I am trying to convey

is this

I'll see you on the front porch of the

old retirement home one day

I'll be there at six

now don't forget

it will be your turn to bring

the deck of cards...............
