My friend is an amazing poet! You see, I never knew Till recently when he showed me a piece While we were out for a tea date that was way overdue
We used to talk about everything and anything My friend and I, we have many things in common We'll talk about Star Wars, music, movies, TV shows, shoes Even books from James Clemens
But we stopped hanging out a while back Even though we still see each other daily We hardly talked, we drifted apart We were so busy but I did miss him greatly
One day I noticed that he had this vacant look in his eyes And I knew that he must be troubled For although he was smiling at everyone I felt this urge to look out and catch him if he stumbled
So after bugging him for a gazillion time That we needed to catch up He finally agreed to go out for tea Where we talked with no one to interrupt
We talked and talked like we used to Time passed slowly as our cups of tea and cigarette butts cluttered the table Then he showed me a poem he had written Which left me speechless and looking at my new idol
Wow! He sure can write His writing is so inspiring it touches the soul I felt ashamed sitting next to someone such as he Someone who could turn his words into gold
So I would like to thank him for sharing this part of his life with me I know my poem can never be as good as his has been But hopefully he'll find this pleasing Thank You Ryn!!!!
Wrote this over a couple of months. Tried my best to do justice to this amazing, gifted friend of mine. Here's to many more years and cups of tea together! Hope you like it! Thank you for inspiring me to start writing again! Oh and I'm happy that we're hanging out again!
