My Friend - A memory

My inspiration for this poem is my friend. So, titled and written.

A dream often comes to my rueful eye

for its been a long time away from thy

how well I remember, friend of my

why away for so long? My friend, why?

In clouds of peaceful rain

playing a melancholic strain

when you came to my mind, the rain

played a melancholic strain.

In blurs of beautiful dream

of love & affection, a beam

a friend like you I always deem

for we alone, with love, are a team

In the droplets of tender dew

your memory upon me blew

as your face in the droplet drew

the most passionate friend now I knew.

A dream often comes to my rueful eye

for its been a long time away from thy

how well I remember, friend of my

why away for so long? My friend, why?

Author's Note

In the third line, I have said "friend of my" since I wanted it to rhyme with thy.
