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.

a TOAST

life's full of twists and turns
and I stand on one such turn today
I'm leaving behind everything known
I have to go my own way
It is by no means simple or easy
but it is something i just have to do
I'm not sure what my destination is
But i have to walk..i have to go
I gather up all the moments together
'Memories' they are called now
We try not to cry as we leave
and we promise to meet somehow
we take pictures, fill slam books
we'll never loose touch we say
Of course we mean it
of course we'll try
but who is to tell
what will come by

So here is to you friend
I raise a toast..
For just being you and letting me be me
for everything that was shared as "we"
I can't promise to stay in touch
But I promise to never move apart
for meet we never may again
but you'll stay forever in my heart.
