Friendship is different you see, 
for it is a joy, and a special key
to make ones soul glorious and alive
and its kept within you, shining bright

we are human, so we are the same
isolation and jealousy; what is there to blame
your feelings, dear are understandable
for emotions are not tame, nor commandable

however, my friend, what I do not accept
is the fear you have about our friendship being kept
what makes you think that it will slip past
by all the hours on email, over an ocean so vast

you have nothing to fear when it comes to me
I can only grow so big, but I am still small as can be
I am loyal to you endlessly for you are a part of I
saving me from the depths of fear, for you I try

I try to be someone new, another person
trying to swim up out of the ocean of confusion
never ever doubt this trust
even if the deadly sins come out to lust

Last but never least, I leave this message
trying to tell you with the least aggression
that no matter who I meet or where I'm in
we are together, here and within

Shine a light before you leave
Colours of agony still linger to the unforgiven
They *******, degrade, and soon fall
And can drag you down to their sin

Throw a sparkler in before you go
For you may find those who are bursting with love
Among the shadows they radiate virtue
And eventually go to the better places above

Take a torch along your walk
Lonely souls seem to ripple only depression
See them, know them, accept them
But take caution of the obsession

Ignite a flare on your path
For you are bound to discover those select few
Eyes glisten and are blinded with hope
Different to others though; in their own hue

Flicker a match on the way there
Solve the enigma of all the masks
Dwell into each step with keen precaution
Shine a light; that's all I ask

I have a jem
It sparkles in the sunlight inside of me
and blinds the eyes of those who dare to challenge
the brightness of my jem

It impresses people everywhere
leaving them in awe and amazement
I have no need to flaunt or praise myself
for it is done constantly for me

Despite the obvious that exists in me
To some, it cannot be seen
No matter how bright my jem sparkles
Only one person is blind
To my shine

Who would have imagined that
Out of all those who were incapable of seeing
It would have been someone so close
Closer than anyone else who was blind

Oh father, when will your eyes clear
And un-blur from the barriers of our differences
When, just when will you see with clarity
The talent I possess

When everyone leaves
What is left behind?

Memories

Of?

Well...

Let's make them worth remembering

She stepped through the groaning door at the age of eleven
and peered into my hidden eyes
Introduced herself with with a twinge of pride
And on she went to the next handshake

She would bustle about for days and days
but could bring her highway of life to a standstill
Swirling her scattered emotions into a whirl of whip cream
And on she went wiping the cream from her lips

She smiled blissfully without any thought
of the marks the boulder strapped to her back was engraving
Occasionally beads would trickle down her cheek
But on she went flicking the dewdrops away

She looked about on the world, quietly observing
its faults, cracks and crevices
Sitting there in profound thought she conjured up so many ideas
And on she went marching through the trackless dirt

She would come to me with her joys and bubbling
with thousands and thousands of words to paint me her vision
My clouded eyes were almost on the shoreline to her picture
And on she went to the other side and patiently waited for my arrival

She wrote to me on the brink of midnight
On how successful my future was and what I had coming for me
But little did she know of her own jubilee waiting for her
So on she went, anxiously stepping into her opportunities

She came to me again, excitedly and curiously
A year older and a year of more wisdom we could only both wish for
Our eyes matched together on cloud nine
And on she went to tell me her dreams and passions


She gave me a message on what she had in mind
Her painting of a  refined world with smoother edges and a sparkling surface
I could see vividly with hope and spattered out words of encouragement
And on she went, hiking upwards en route to her goal

She would sometimes however, trip over her laces
and fall to the floor with the weights of her responsibilities
All I could do was send her a handkerchief to wipe away the dewdrops of her efforts
Still on she went right back up and continued onwards again

She was always this kind of girl; to question the insecurities of
those around her and do what she could to fix them
As she grew older, her caliber of people only grew and grew
And on she went, changing the problems of the cities around her

With all that, my dearest friend, there is no one I can possibly conjure of
That would do a better job than what you juggle on a daily basis
With the passion you have for the future, you can guarantee
that you will go wherever in this world with my applause

As you go on walking over your struggles and barriers
I will plaster up neon pink posters on the walls you sprint past
Constantly clapping for you with smiles and laughs
And on you will go, seeing blotches of pink as you rush past

Distance is nothing but an insignificant hurdle on our friendship
And no matter the 12 hour difference or the contrasting schedules running simultaneously
This will not be any burden to my perpetual support for you
And on you will go, proudly imprinting your thin signature all over the world
