It takes someone special to become a friend
Someone you feel at ease with
Someone you can talk to and confide in
Someone over time that gains your trust
Someone you can count on
When things become tough
Someone that when things do work out
Will still be there for you ,
No need to ever doubt

Every time i saw  you
You always gave  me your smile
Now your in a tough place
The smiles are hard to find
So now i give you mine
Because no one is more deserving
Than a friend who doesn’t feel like smiling

The greatest gift you can ever give or receive is love
When you  give it make sure it is always true
And  when you receive it treat it with tender care
Because the one that gave it holds your heart so dear

The sand is always shifting
The sea washes away my sins
A new year now revealing
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Love shows itself in so many ways
Never ceases to surprise me
I always keep an open mind
To the various ways love finds me

I can not resist the temptation
Every time she contacts me on the phone
The tone of her voice seduces me
Knowing she is on her own
Saying no is not an option
An invitation i cannot refuse
We both understand the consequences
When i put my key in the door
The scene is set , the fire glows
Conversation finally comes to an end
Feelings and emotions
Take control of the situation
We both know where it ends

Trauma leaves a mark
That cannot be erased
Stays with you forever
Something not to be praised
But time is a healer
The memory with time fades
You cannot forget
What caused that trauma
That made that imprint
Which stays in your mind

My mind is divided by poetry
Between reality and what i create
Like living two separate lives
Always thinking two separate ways
It’s hard to sometimes explain it
People cannot understand
I am one single person  
With two sides to my thoughts
One is in the present
The other in a creative place
Where imagination and emotions
Present themselves as poetry on a page .
