Friendship is built upon the foundations of
Unique and quirky first impressions.
It is not brought together by what others
May say or recommend,
It is not brought together by a Rubik’s cube
Or the use of super glue—
Friendship is just what it states!

Two or more ships brought together
To become one friend—thus the
Creation of Friendship!

It involves a raging sea of betrayals;
Of innocent white lies; of going astray;
Of being in the wrong place at the wrong time;
Of hatred and envy.
But Friendship is strong
And it prevails over anything above all else;
And when the bonds of
Friendship is that strong, nothing between
Friendship should ever; could ever be wrong!

However, you do get one or two that goes overboard
The bow of Friendship and are forever lost at sea
Hoping to be picked up by Cecrops, the Lost Mariner to
Remain forever a prisoner on the ship of Friends that
Corrupts the minds of truthfulness; of the One True bond
That which is called Friendship.

My ship is true and has never
Strayed from its course.
It is homeward bound towards
The foundation that which
Made it true; towards quirky
First impressions that’s unique and precious;
Back to the fleet yards and of harbors
of its creation--
The Fleet of Friendship.

I lost the friendship of someone very great to me and I don't even know why. The messed up bit of it is that we're co-workers and now we have to work like strangers... geeeezzzz.. :-(

LOVE IS TRUE

ALL HE DID WAS LEAVE ME ALONE.
THE FIRST YEAR WAS WONDERFUL
DON’T GET ME WRONG,
BUT AFTER THAT ALL THE LOVE
AND SWEET NOTHINGS WHISPERED
IN MY EAR BEGAN TO FADE AND DISAPPEAR.

ALL I KNEW WAS HOW TO LOVE A BAD MAN.
HE NEVER BEAT ME, BUT MY HEART WAS BROKEN
THE MANY TIMES HE WOULD CHEAT ON ME;
ALL HIS LIES AND DECIET THAT WAS ALL I KNEW
AND IT BLINDED ME TO A LOVE SO UNTRUE.

IT TOOK SOME TIME TO BREAK THIS SPELL
HE SPELLED ON ME, FOR ALL WHO TRIED
THEY FAILED MIGHTLY.
I FELT SUPERIOR ABOVE ALL ELSE—YET
LITTLE DID I KNOW—HE LOVED SOMEONE ELSE.

AND WHEN THAT LOVE DID NOT SATED HIM,
BACK HE CAME AND I, UNABANDONLY CEDED HIM.
FOR YET I STILL LOVED A BAD MAN; HE KNEW WITH ME
HE CONTINUED TO PLAY HIS HAND…

BUT ALL HE DID WAS LEAVE ME ALONE
UNTIL ONE DAY IT FINALLY DAWNED ON ME
WHAT I WAS TOO BLIND TO SEE.
LOVE REALLY WAS MY ENEMY—HE CHEATED ME
ONCE MORE, THE MAN I THOUGHT I ADORED.

IT TOOK SOME TIME FOR MY HEART TO HEAL
FOR IT WAS DAMAGED BEYOND ITS ORDEAL.
YET HE NEVER FAILED TO TRY, WHILE HE UNDERSTOOD
I WILL NOT YIELD, MY HEART HOLLOW AS WOOD.

ALL HE DID WAS STAYED BY ME; I WAS NOT ALONE.
HE KNEW I BRUSHED HIM AWAY; I’VE FORSAKEN LOVE—
YET HE CONTINUED WITHOUT NO SWAY—
ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE UNTIL FIVE,
I’M STILL ALIVE!

I DON’T HAVE THE WORDS TO THANK THIS MAN ENOUGH
FOR IT WAS A MAN THAT SHOWED ME LOVE—
HE BANISHED WITH HIS MIGHT ALL THAT WAS UNTRUE
AND MADE ME BELIEVE THAT LOVE IS TRUE.

Because Of You!

Because of you I’m full of laughter.
Before I was sad and confused;
I didn’t know if I would make it
But I did because with you
I didn’t have to fake it.

Because of you I feel complete.
Before I was lost and afraid,
But not anymore because with you
I don’t have to be that way.

What did it take for you to make me see?
What does it matter, if loving me was enough
For you to stay and never leave?
I don’t have the words enough to thank you—

Because of you I’m full of laughter,
Because of you I feel complete,
Because loving me was enough
To make me see that I’ll never
Be sad or confused or lost and afraid—
Because of you I’ll never be that way.

Walk With Me

Come take a walk with me;
Let’s get far from here
I’ll take your mind off
All the stress; make you
Feel good with just my caress.

Come take a walk with me;
Away where no one can see.
I’ll make your time of
All the best, you’ll see!
I’ll concentrate all my
Attention to making you feel
Good and brand new.

Come take a walk with me;
Come see what I can do for you--
Make you so you’ll come
Back to me.

Let’s go…let’s just go--
Come back in a few days or so.
I’ll love you so good, I’ll be all that you’ll
Need to know.
Baby come, take that walk with me…

Defy Not the Heart

Defy not the heart
For it sometimes lies and
Tells you:
You shall not feel pain.
When things break apart
And nothing is ever the same.

Defy not the heart
For it shall grow
Wiser and strong
And can tell whether
Love is right or wrong.

Defy not the heart
For is speaks true
Longing with passion
Just to be with you,
But holds back because
It knows love is not true.

There is nothing that I’d
Rather do than spend what
Little time I have with you,
But I need to know
Is your love true?
Defy not the heart!

Nothing Here for You

What is it that you want from me?
What is it that you need?
All that I gave to you;
You threw it back to me!

How many nights that I’ve warned
My conscience, knew deep down
That I was right?
How many nights that I’ve cried
My shame, tried the fight, lost
And had no one to blame?

There is not anything that you can
Ask of me. All that I had of you
Died the day you took to being
Demeaning and condescending;
Abuser of the one true love that was given to you!

Too late to know and understand its
Meaning or how happy it could have made you,
Now all I see is a man full of jealousy.
Too proud to swallow his pride,
To accept how he lost his bride to another
Who loves her sincerely, of true love was found worthy.

I don’t see what you want from me,
I don’t see what you need from me,
Because whatever you thought you had--
You had, but were too blind to see.

My Favorite Clown

My favorite clown,
He makes me laugh
When he is around,
He makes me happy
When I’m feeling down.
He knows just what to say
Without uttering a sound,
He’s silly, he’s conniving;
He’s always giddy and
He loves me, he adores me and
He’ll never let me down--
That is why I’m so in love with
My favorite clown,
Because I can’t be without him holding me,
Talking to me, laughing with me, scolding me,
Being mad at me--I can’t be without him
Being everything to me.
I can let him see the real me,
No beating around the bushes
Or hiding around;
Oh, no! Not with my favorite clown the one
Who makes me laugh when he is around and
Who makes me happy when I’m feeling down.
Yep, that’s my favorite clown.
