"Sonnets From a Conversation With a Friend XXXIV "


It is very hard to see the beauty
Of screaming children. In fact i did not
See beyond my own self child inherent
Till my forty-second year of quaky
Life. When you spoke to me in actions
Plain and clear and compassionate. No two-
By-four swung could ever penetrate to
The depth of your humble example that's
You and honestly live one moment at
A time for whomever. But now i see
Beyond the boundary sculpted unfree
Concepts graven in emptiness to what
Can surely be until what truly is
Is touched. A joined now of effort and bliss

I told the sun

They say
You set

But
I don't
Never did I
Whoever think whatever
Who cares

Their whole life
Must be a lie
Sun replied
Genre: Observational
Theme: I never set, never raised, I am the same. I don't know why they see me different.

You complained when the drinks ran out;
Alcohol's synonymous with fun, you said.
I rolled my eyes, presented the concept
Of conversation- you wouldn't give in
And, in exasperation,
I split the bottle on the bone in my leg, shard to shin,
Muttered snidly as I bled,
"Hope you like red".

(Better to be, than keep feeling dead)
and that's all on the topic of people who need to drink to be interesting x

Minds connected
Souls intertwined
In a crowded room it was just you and I.

Spoken truths
Unspoken love
Above all is what you consist of

Beautiful trauma, tell me your name
I’m dazzled by your abilities

Oh tranquility
Am I going insane?

They’re the liabilities,
So save me
from the mundane

Eyes connected
Spirits combined
Our lives infected
by the world that we find

Sweet sweat of chaos
in the taste of your tears
Retain your innocence and
run with me for years

Beautiful trauma, tell me your name
I’m dazzled by your abilities

Oh tranquility
Am I going insane?

They’re the liabilities
So save me
from the ******’ mundane
To the beauty I met in a crowd.

Not something I wanted
Or planned for
Happened today
A boy
Was decent
No physical tension
Or ****** implications
The air was light
The conversation between
Just friends
Flowed like a breeze
I cancelled my next **** appointment
That desire came to an end
Because I realized
I just want another male friend
