Are You a Friend?



 

 

Is it our love unlike

the uninterested

sacrifice of friends,

who really don't

count in for every

single desperation?

Is love a friend?

when waiting, in

insomniac perfection

the touch and feel of

the hours? gazing

the walls in tears,

the table, the red hot

roses in the silent

dark of specialness ?

Is it love the frequency,

the formulation of the

seasons bound by

death at every corner?

Is love exacting as in

the precious give and

take, the cruel equation

of good and evil? with

no respite nor breath?

A brother is a friend.

A sister is a friend.

A father. A mother.

A friend is a friend.

Is Love A Friend?

Enjoyed this thought provoking write of yours, dear Hugo. Loved these lines more; "Is love a friend? when waiting, in insomniac perfection the touch and feel of the hours? gazing the walls in tears, the table, the red hot roses in the silent dark of specialness ?" Neat and a well written poem... Sincerely, Wafi "Culture, location and beliefs; All vanish with love!" ~Afzal Shauq~

Thank you Wafi:

I'm glad you liked this poem. It's just a thinking out loud, not something definitive, I just wanted to make friends think. Your comment is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Hugo

Come for a reread and to ask, what do you mean that you will see me next year? Lol. Is it because it is taking so much time to get things to go through on this damn machine, Lol. Anyway, I am glad you were thinking out loud when you wrote this. It is very good. Bye again till next year?, lol. Love to you and yours. Lyz. XX

Dear Lyz:

You have already answered your question: What do I mean by "I see you next year". It means that you are such a good friend that you won't mind it at all, that is, as you say, "now you can get rid of me". That goes in tune with my poem: Are you a friend?, lol. Why, you thought I was traveling to Australia? I think that's a little too far for me, lol. On the other hand, yes, the machine is slow and I'm also having problems posting my comments.

A very pensive and thought provoking poem. It has heart, soul and tenderness, all rolled into one piece. My favorite lines are: Is love exacting as in the precious give and take, the cruel equation of good and evil? with no respite nor breath? Your friend, Cat
