very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them 
everywhere.
      - Zig Ziglar


Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets 
you have total freedom to be yourself — and especially to feel. 
Or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is 
fine with them. That's what real love amounts to — letting a 
person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you 
pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending 
— performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're 
locked in an image, an act — and the sad thing is, people get 
so used to their image — they grow attached to their masks. They 
love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. 
And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it — they feel 
like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.
 - Jim Morrison

keeping what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of 
kindness, blow the rest away.
        - George Elliot

An Entrapment | Love Poem

An Entrapment
My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.

- Anthony Kolos -

A Special World

 

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

- Sheelagh Lennon -

Broken Friendship Poetry

          Poet:- The Perfect Friend - S.J. McGrath

"Here's a little poem I wrote about a week ago when I was really depressed. I know it's not all that positive, but I'd still like you to include it on your wonderful page."

 

        THE PERFECT FRIEND
             © S.J. McGrath
I thought I had found the perfect friend,
But it only took about a week for that to end,
I thought there was hope left in my life,
But as it turns out, it was only added strife,
I thought for once I had done something right,
But I quickly corrected that oversight,
I thought I wasn’t useless or a bore,
But I was all that and even more,
I thought there was a purpose to my days,
But that was only a very short phase,
I thought you weren’t like all the rest,
But like those before, you failed the test,
I thought you would stay with me, at least for a bit,
But you decided it was better just to quit,
I thought life was worth living for a moment in time,
But the life I wanted could never be mine,
I thought the hunger inside had been fed,
But now I know, I was just being misled.
And now I think I’ve found another perfect friend,
How long before my heart is broken again?
