Friendship

Friends come and go throughout the
years.
Bringing with them memories that we
hold dear.
Join in the laughter, sometimes bellowing
till it hurt.
How many card games, poker or Uno can
people play loosing their shirt.
Dinner at Beefsteak Charlie's what a hoot,
all you eat shrimp fest.
Of course, Patti & Joe did their best....
Platters of shells still remain to this day,
while waiters waved us away!
Memories are fragile things, remembering
a time, a place capturing a mental picture
of time & space....
Wish that I could hold that memory tight in my
hand....willing it not to ever leave my memory..
ever......

Midnight Dreams

Dreaming dreams of you my love.
Every night I feel your breath against
my cheek..your hand on my thigh.
Snuggled against me, spoon fashion
sharing our body heat.
You laugh saying this is no way to
fall asleep!
Our passion rises and falls with each
breath we take...
I dread the sunrise as my ghost lover
fades with the coming day....

People walk by on their way to
wherever
I search their faces seeking you
wherever
A friendly smile, a glint in the eye
whatever
Knowing full well you are gone
forever.......
