A Friend

by Gillian Jones

A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall

Be A Friend

by Edgar Albert Guest

Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.

Be a friend. You don't need glory.

The day I met you

by Yasmeen Kamel

The day I met you,
Your kindness shone through,

You wandered around, seemingly all alone,
A face unfamiliar, a name unknown,

I wanted to offer a simple bonbon,
And I waited to hear your name called upon,

Talking to you was easy and fun,

Youth And Age

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Verse, a breeze 'mid blossoms straying,
Where Hope clung feeding, like a bee -
Both were mine! Life went a-maying
With Nature, Hope, and Poesy,
When I was young!
When I was young? -Ah, woeful When!
Ah! for the change 'twixt Now and Then!
This breathing house not built with hands,
This body that does me grievous wrong,
O'er aery cliffs and glittering sands

the stored ego melts
like an iceberg.

ear to eave

by Rikske Kessner

An outside world, ever closes in;
eavesdropping on young lovers,
envious in every kind of way—
so envious it could transform deserts,
if not for the voyeur's curse.

Intimacy reserved always
to two sets of eyes,
peering in and diving into
each other's perfect abyss;

The day I met you

by Yasmeen Kamel

piecemeal

by Rikske Kessner

In fragments, I find you,
piece by piece,
each shard a story,
a glimpse through the cracks.

Moments drift,
unanchored,
and I catch only slivers,
glints of who you are.

You embrace me
the stored ego melts

Heaven must be a library –

by Amy Michelle Mosier

Heaven must be a library –
An acquaintance in boredom said –
With many open levels that are airy
And plush carpet on which to tread

With sliding ladders on the aisles –
Coffee on tap and a poofy chaise
On which to read the gilded titles
And infinite time to waste.
