Roses are red
violets are blue
chimpanzees are cannibals
and I am too

I've never wrote poetry
so I'm not very good
please try to forgive me
I think that you should

I'll put in the effort
I'll give it a try
with others to learn from
I'm sure I'll get by

To channel a flow
to express through the pen
all that we've lost
will return once again

If you want to keep it
you must give it away
in your super ego
is where it will stay

To stir in your thoughts
to move in your heart
to satisfy worries
that tear us apart

To quiet your fears
and express my own
I know down in your soul
Is where I'll find home

I'll carry you
and you'll carry me
linked by our thoughts
through memory

Whoever goes first
in the other remains
long distant friend
written down on a page
