best friends

Dedicated to Dani California

 

 

 

Come with me to the oldest lighthouse on Erie Harbor, and view the sunset
amidst a raspberry lemon sky.

Share with me your secrets as our tanned legs dangle over the wooden
pier, and our polished toes flirt, splashing in the golden water while we
share a bottle of deep red wine.

We both know the truth and taste each other's pain without inhibitions ~

 

without boundaries...

 

You understand how much we both detest...

 

black

and

white

borders.

 

As I view your jade eyes and gently remove a strand of soft brown hair
from your precious face, I realize that we belong with...

 

the water...

 

the sand...

 

the wind...

 

And I kiss away the tears from your past...

 

 

 

Author's Note

I wrote this one a while ago. However, Dani has become one of my dearest friends on the cafe, and each time I read it, I think of her. This is about pure, unconditional friendship.

[R J Askew]

Just a lovely moment beautifully expressed with pulses of imagination that literally colour the page. You have a very visual intensity about you which perhaps mirrors you own perceptions and certainly gives vividity to your expressions...if that don't sound too poncy! But damn it it's true! It's also great to see the contrast between your jagged pieces. And there is a reality about the piece, which acknowleges that life causes tears. But the moment is a beautiful one. Enjoyed the read.

beautifully written piece...

[Pax Analog]

Charming interlude enhanced with your striking sense of "signage," or eye-grabbing typography, and purrrfect use of ambient imagery.

Smile-inducing the way you anchor sensual healing on enduring friendship, a reminder of how bordered other relational distinctions tend to become.

This poem is luscious, tender, loving, classic, and altogether excellent in its visual presentation.

Beautiful in every way.

A...

I am so flattered and honored by this dedication... thank you sweetie. You are one of the kindest and most loving people I have had the absolute pleasure of befriending, and anyone who truly knows you will agree. I am blessed to have you as a friend, and that comes straight from my heart.

May love and happiness find and keep you always my beautiful friend.

Love ya girl!

One more thing though, I'm not sure why it is rated mature. Very loving and sentimental.

[Legion]

Very unconditional. I like it. Can I come too? Pigs make great friends as long as no one has the urge for porkchops that is. Good write. Hope she enjoys it. :)
