I have a friend who's perfect.

this is the First in a set of poems. they progress in order going down my page.

i have a friend who says she can't write poetry
who says everything she pens is not worth keeping...

she's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen,
her eyes are a mix of snow globes and black holes,
not even giving light a second chance to look away.
her hands 
are so soft they grip the pen like a feather
and as she quills her name at the top of the page
ink spills from her veins as she writes every letter.
and i sit there,
just watching.
i shiver every time i see her pen quiver;
and i know music is being born. 

ten thousand angels sing her prose
and the mute all whisper her poems.
she writes the wind, the moon light,
the sun as it sets as you look to the west,
and the light as it rises again.
all this creation on the end of her pen...

she throws away papers unrefined;
pages strewn 'round the room.
on them what she thinks are just throw-away lines,
words falling to their dusty tomb.
i pick each one up one at a time
pulling them from the cracks in the floor
and each one ends up a favorite of mine
stuffed away in a dusty drawer.

i have a friend who said she cant write... 
one day i'll tell her, 
it shouldn't surprise her
that as soon as she picks up her pen
her words already have a home.
that as soon as she writes her name
it's already a perfect poem.

Author's Note

it would be great if someone reviewed the entire set for me :)

This is so lovely and i imagine her so well ... now if she is real ...please tell her soon and make her realise what she has within her ..it would sooth her soul and the belief fround would stretch her wings even further from the ground ... if this is just from the eye of your mind then good creating you made her real for me :)

I love this.
It describes my best friend perfectly. It's worded very well. Keep writing, you're very good, and tell her that she's perfect! :)

A lovely poem indeed. You're a good friend to encourage her to keep writing. I like the use of metaphors and personification in the sentences. Thank you for sharing :)
