Poems by someone I know....

A very close friend of mine writes these wonderful poems and refuses to publish them... for good reason, I'm sure, but I want the world to read... So here goes...

THEIR BOND

On this delightful day when you bond,
Sharing love and all that may come with it.
journey together hand in hand
Life shall open up as by magic
let love be your shield and
from this day on...
when you walk hand in hand together.

May life open its wonderful path
strewn with petals...
Long and arduous it may seem,
but supporting each other
will you both tread along,
Understanding and realising
the wonderful person at your side

May you relish life and all that it offers you
And may your lives be starlit forever...


UNTITLED

I am too connected to slip away
   to fade away
Days away, I still feel you,
   touching me, changing me
and considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
   beneath the storm,
under these tears,
   the walls came down

The snake is drowned and as I
   look in his eyes
my fears begin to fade
   recalling all those times

I could have cried
I should have cried

And as the walls come down and
    as I look into your eyes
My fear begins to fade
   really all those times that I've died
It's all right. I don't mind.
