Have I told you lately?
A Poem by JRB
 Your friendship,  |
Your friendship,
Is what I truly treasure lately,
You are more to me than just,
Part of my life, teacher, lover,
You are my friend,
The person with whom,
I dare to be myself,
I need not wear a face,
To be what you are,
My soul is naked,
For better or worse,
I am not a prisoner,
In your world,
I need no guard,
I think what I say,
I say what I want,
You understand my contradictions,
Where other misjudge my intentions,
Your loyalty sparks my resources,
There is no abuse, neglect, or putting up with,
I can, keep silent to myself,
And fear not, my stillness,
For you have lit the torch,
At the entrance of my hidden grotto,
And that my friend only a few have done,
You are so special to me,
You have shown me something,
Very important,
You have shown me the way,
To my self,
And that state of mind,
More than any thing,
I thank you for my friend,
I love you,
And I hope that you know that,
Of course you do,
Because I do,
I love you for that reason,
And many more,
Have I told you lately?

I don't know that I would necessarily consider this a poem. It reads more like a letter written to a special someone. That being said, I thought this was such a great tribute piece.
"I dare to be myself,I need not wear a face,To be what you are,My soul is naked,For better or worse,I am not a prisoner,In your world,I need no guard,I think what I say,I say what I want,You understand my contradictions,Where other misjudge my intentions,Your loyalty sparks my resources,There is no abuse, neglect, or putting up with,I can, keep silent to myself,And fear not, my stillness," I love this whole section, especially "you understand my contradictions where others misjudge my intentions, your loyalty sparks my resources". This doesn't exactly rhyme, but it has a rhythm to it, a cadence that feels almost like a song. I especially appreciated the lines on a personal level too. Good job.
