A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall
......
O heart! Why must you lay your love so bare?
To share your heart and soul with one so dear?
I thought that
I was strong enough
to bear the pain and hold my bluff,
To hide my feelings from your gaze,
And keep them locked for future days.
For Months I kept this secret hidden well.

Justin Case
Fifteen minutes
Chapter One
Miami, Florida 2:30AM September 11, 2001
Morning in Miami was humid and because of it, it felt colder. In his central air apartment, it didn't feel like this. Justin opened his eyes and waited until he was able to adjust his vision in the dark. He turned his head to the left and looked at the face of his fiancΓ©. She was still sleeping, and air was whispering from her mouth every time she exhaled. He looked at her for about a minute more and with caution moved her hand off his chest and slowly put it beside her. He quietly set down on the bad. He stood up and stretched with his arms up.
βWhat's going on?β she asked softly yawning without opening her eyes and added βit's time already?β
βNo Valera, it's still enough time.β Justin replayed in a whisper, so she wouldn't wake up with him. It would be a disaster he was thinking.

I like that you are not indisposed of me,
I like that I'm not indisposed of you,
That never a heavy globe of the earth
Won't float under our feet.
I like that you can be funny -
Dissolute - and do not play with words,
And do not blush with a suffocating wave,
Lightly touching sleeves.

Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

There is a glow out there that darkens my skin and lightens my mind
Nothing is urgent, and we all move slow
We sink into the grass, and mumble our worlds
Always under a cloud of smoke
Well acquainted with the magic in the forest
Vivid dreams and hot sweaty nights
Blue in Green dancing low with the fans
Too many rolled up dollar bills
Not enough money
Freckles on my nose like stars in the sky
......
Queer love, difficult to define,
blooms like the garden's reddest rose, Facing the sun like a sunflower,
yet a roller coaster in repose.
It thrives even in desiccated soil,
its growth feels like magic, pure. Yearning for your love's company,
a longing, a wanting so sure.
When apart,
it feels like a piece of yourself has gone astray, Awaiting the laughter of your soulmate,
your partner, every day.
A glimpse, a sound, that will never come,

A sunken flower
Engulfed by the sea,Β
Fell deeper into a world of dreams
Her petals would fall, the colors would fade
Had the whale of the ocean not been nudged at the tail
Swooping and turning the whale was caught by surprise,
......
The little girl had much to take,
But she gave it all to her simple friend,
The flower in the desert.
She walked for miles and miles, alone
And when the riders found her,
She did not forget the desert rose,
And watered her profoundly.
And it was in that simple action done,
That she could feel God around her.
And in that simple action done,
