_I once had a friend_

_Who I thought would be my friend to the end_
_We used to smile and laugh_
_Most of it was on my behalf_
__
_We always had fun_
_We always played, always screwed around_
_Especially times before the awakening sun_
_When times were quite sound_
__
_But now he has moved away_
__
_These joyous memories of mine now left behind_

_So long ago they occurred so far from today_

This is slightly off prompt or not I don’t know, it’s been one of the worst days of my life…
…
Your name brought smiles in my youth,
Bringing your life back from the brink.
Hell was no longer your truth,
Days gone by in a blink.
This doesn’t feel real,
News of your passing on a still wind.
Time will bring what is needed to heal,
Bringing tears to your kin.
Brother to your two sisters,
Uncle to...
Poem:
In twilight's gentle embrace, they sigh,
Whispers on the wind, they softly fly,
Secrets of the past, and dreams untold,
Carried by the breeze, both shy and bold.
A lover's promise, a friend's goodbye,
Murmurs of hope that never die,
Each whisper, a fragment of a heart,
Drifting through the air, never to depart.
Among the leaves and through the trees,
Voices of those we've lost, a gentle b...
Come wayside by the boat
I hear whispers on the wind
Of a siren softly singing
“Adventures with a friend”
Can you hear her voice?
It sounds sweet like milk and honey
She’s calling me to join her friends
To swim to the bottom deep
The men nod their heads in unison
Their eyes locked on her voice
Do sirens really sing like this?
“Come, hop on in,” she beckoned me
Yet I swore I saw a fin.
“Let thi...
Whispers of the Wind
In the meadows where the wildflowers sway,
The wind whispers secrets, night and day.
Softly it caresses the blades of grass,
Whispering tales of a world that will pass.
Through the trees, it gently weaves,
Whispering secrets only it believes.
Carrying melodies from distant lands,
Whispering songs of forgotten bands.
It whispers of love, so pure and true,
Of hearts entwined,...
Suppose all my nightmares
found me without you.
Would you be afraid
to close your eyes too?
Open up, back when
the dreams began.
Reverse my thoughts
back to a time,
so I can feel again.
Devils in comas,
and a guilty light.
The eerie sound of
pulsating hearts,
beating in the chest
of night.
Tantalizing flaws
creep out of my lips.
It’s of those words
I should have never spoken,
at...
I can hear it daintily,
Faintly surrounding me,
The disconnect is drowning me,
For it's the root of all my troubles.
I can see me falling down,
Away from all your embrace now,
Far from your sweet face now,
I'm tumbling from this height.
I can feel your pillow lips,
Against my cheek and my heart rips,
For I cry each night and my tears drip
As I feel you slip away.
I can smell you on my skin...
