others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

Forever kind

I went to the shop yesterday
to pick out a card for you
don't ask me the occasion
I just went coz I wanted t

I picked a few
Then I kept them back
I went around to look
At some in another rack

I searched, browsed, looked
And read almost every card
And though some were good
To pick one for you was very hard

Some talked of long friendships
Others of sharing it all
While some were straight from the heart
Other told stories long and tall

Then it struck me why
This task was such a bother
Because the friendship we share
Is unlike any other

It hasn’t been long
We haven’t yet shared it all
And the compliments we share
Are outnumbered by our brawls

Yet there is something about us
That I feel in my heart and mind
You aren’t just any other friend
You are the” forever” kind
