#friend poems on Hello Poetry

Joker Nov 2020

I met a stranger last night,
His gentle voice brought me delight

A heart of gold with a smiling face,
He spoke with a mighty grace

His words - a delicately-crafted art,
Tender & elegant, at once entered my heart

He spoke as though I was his own,
Though in reality, I'm hardly known

What was the last time someone consoled me?
When did someone extend an arm to hold me?

My dear friend Kenshiro

As you are a man,
of knowledge, and, wisdom and, hard working/

As you are greatly famous in To-ki-yo, in Te(h)-ran, in Pa-ris, and, Ni-yo-york/

As you are great, in principle/

Or, more:, as you are, actually greatly explore/

the kindness of the jungle of the land/

or even the song, of the sand/

Hope to discover great mysteries/

of the Earth, and the World, and the Universe/

and, undoubtedly of the Heart/

Are there actually a large, number of goddesses or the only God?/

or the only God, who is the source, of the Universe/

or the only God, who is near, very near to us/

Ask, your trustworthy heart/

Hope Hope Hope to discover the mystery/

My dear friend, Kenshiro!

Little Red

I live with
holy sunshine—

but I wake to weep.
In the sun,

shadows stretch
long behind me,

where some things ought to
remain buried.

I did not go digging you up.
Bees do not normally

nest in skulls—
but I know

they hum in your head,
dripping honey of me.

Gentle wolf,
you came in the guise

of a friend.
They tell me that they would have

rescued me
as you made your advances—

except
they were never there,

in your lair.
And by that time

I had already
been eaten.

All that exists
between us now

is a history;
the guilt that still

weighs on you,
and poetry.

And if your guilt ever becomes
too much for you to bear,

and if you ever feel like
confessing,

my poems can be
your Hail Mary’s.

the finger of winter

the finger of winter
leaves fire on my cheeks
soft clouds echo birdsong
ice laced to their beaks
a world drowned in hail
over skyscraping peaks
one day is everyday
as smoke curdles in streaks

pomegranate

i want to unravel you
pick apart your bones
devour you so hungrily,
you'll stain my sheets
and leave me aching.

- h a d e s; my love.

Alone No More

Little dots of light
In the endless void
Too far for my reach,
They come and go, leaving me

Alone

Sometimes in groups, sometimes just one
Little dots of hope, little ***** of light
Dancing they go, where? I don’t know
But unlike me, they’re not

Alone

But one time i tried my luck
And jumped towards the dots
Enveloped by light, they dance
Why don’t they flee? Why don’t they run?

They gently caress my soul
Sea of light fills me whole
Because the dots were never fleeing
I just hadn’t come close
And thanks to them, I’m Alone
No More

A poem remembering the first time i ever made friends, who i love deeply

you don't fit

I feel like an old pair of trousers left in a drawer
only brought out when you’re desperate cause you don’t want to be left naked
vulnerable in your knickers
better than nothing
I don’t fit what you want anymore
but you don’t fit me
so let me be in my drawer
I’ve got clothes for company
they don’t wear me out
whilst I keep them warm

Bees

Why does it hurt so bad?
We weren't anything
but your rejection stings.

You said all the right things,
I fell for all your promising.
I guess its my fault, at least just a tad.

Tell me please,
what happened,
Bees?

You spoke with ease.
Then ghosted
me.

Why does it hurt so bad?
We weren't anything
but your rejection stings.

I thought I knew....

I thought I knew you….

I thought I knew you
But I didn’t
I thought I saw you
But I couldn’t
I couldn’t see through
The mask you wore
Your smile
Your laugh
Hiding the pain you bore

I thought I knew you
But I didn’t
I thought I saw you
But I couldn’t
I should have seen the signs
Realized the mask you held
And the cries behind

The jokes you made
The things you’d say
Holding in thoughts day by day

I finally knew you
But it was too late
I finally saw you
But you couldn’t wait
The pain
The cries
All off the white lies
You were fighting something dark inside

I told you I loved you
But I wasn’t there
I told you I cared
But I was unaware
And now you’re gone
I could prove you wrong
Thinking I didn’t care
I took too long
And now my heart as a tear

A person who smiles isn't always happy! "I'm fine" doesn't always mean they are fine. Remember, it is easy to fake a smile when you've been doing it for a while. Hiding the pain behind a mask is more common than expressing the pain outwardly. Be there for your friends no matter what, because you never know if they are actually okay or not.
