One Flesh
Mark Toney Jan 2020
Una sola carne
Two become one flesh
Non approfittarne
Keeping true love fresh

           ~when love precipitates, selfishness evaporates~

A Friendship Lost
Mark Toney Apr 2020
Instant friends,
We hit it off so well
Mutual encouragement
Lives starting to gel
In an instant gone
As quickly as it started
Reasons why unknown
Left in waters unchartered

(Chorus)
Can you drop me a hint?
Can you offer a smidgen?
Was it something I said?
Could it be my religion?
Something I should’ve done,
Or anything I can do
To know the reasons
For losing you?

Good if we could talk
Suss out issues ensconced
I’ve tried to reach out
But received no response
Finally thought it best
To leave well enough alone
So hard to accept
A friendship turned to stone

(Chorus)
Can you drop me a hint?
Can you offer a smidgen?
Was it something I said?
Could it be my religion?
Something I should’ve done,
Or anything I can do
To know the reasons
For losing you?

Praise
Mark Toney Mar 2020
that which we hunger for
our appetite is huge—
times to reciprocate
we become
Skrooge
