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.

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.

Come with me to the oldest lighthouse on Erie Harbor, and view the sunset
amidst a raspberry lemon sky. I love the imagery of this.Its flow was very nice and yes it is very heart felt and emotional from truth,unconditional love between two humans is the greatest gift we have ever been given.
I loved this read and have read it several times enjoyed a different meaning in each but yet always the same meanings in my final thought of pure love of heart!

Apollonia, this is absolutely a beautiful tribute to a friendship true. This has a sensitivity to it that is pure and innocent and I love what you have said here.

Oh this is beautiful, I love the flow with the colors that bend your mind as it travel through the poem. The warmth of this poem is new to my eyes and I enjoy the scenery of this botanic adventure of love in a friendship. Friendships are rare, although they appear abundant, but finding the right one is always a challenge and a awesome experience. Nice write.

What a passionate dedication. It's great how the cafe creates such strong friendships, sometimes more so than those in person. You've expressed your thoughts beautifully in this piece.
