A Friend

by Gillian Jones

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

A Golden Chain

by Helen Steiner Rice

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...

Flaws

by Nora La King

The world around you
Taunts and picks
At your beauty.

I’ll always wonder.
I’ll never understand.

Why such ordinary people,
Bring such flaws upon
The most unique,

The Apple Of My Eye

by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Every time I think of you my hands began to shake.
My knees begin to wobble and my head begins to ache.
You caused me nothing but trouble and I often wondered why.
I was good to you and I loved you so. You were the apple of my eye.

It started on the afternoon of the 23rd of May.
You were dating a boy named Anderson
but your game he couldn’t play.
Then when you saw me you fell in love
and you still love me today.

do you think we're friends in every universe?

by t.e. talbott

"do you think we're friends in every universe?"

i think sometimes
you're an unexpected present in June,
the gift of consideration outside of birthdays.
sometimes i'm gratitude, a full heart
thanking the heavens for you.

sometimes i’m the white-washed face of God
in someone's painting,

Prince of Chaos

by Jen Wright

Illicit is the love you promise.
Clandestine is your touch.
How fair is your “honest”
When guile it takes to search?
And find I did no more than smoke and ashes,
Crestfallen hearts and broken hopes,
Affronted by the lavish gashes,
You clawed upon their hollowed bones.
Since when does my mind waver
and teeter in between

as i begin to learn the rhythm of our seasons

by sopa c

in Spring, we swell and pop
like buds on trees.
we burst in all directions,
a grenade under pressure
our debris lands in beds of dewy grass waiting patiently to incinerate.

this Spring we collect parts of the body like polished rocks on the river banks.
the hands, the mouth, and the tongue,
we are learning the ways they caress sweet words.
fruit trees blossom and so does the space behind our eyes.

A Ballet on My Words

by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

Dance my friends to a Leonard Cohen song
On the pasture of clouds
As you float thru the skies
And never let it rain on yr parade
Since you're a queen of dance
Doing a twirl in the air
Until space and time join us together
While you do a ballet on my words

Later,veel later dan vandaag

by Mario Odekerken

Later,
wanneer het licht anders valt
en de uren zich uitstrekken
zoals schaduwen in de namiddag,

zal ik misschien begrijpen
waarom alles moest gebeuren
zoals het deed.

Niet nu.

A Race with My Mind

by Yasmeen Kamel

The stars don't shine as bright tonight,
Their distant glow can't feel the fight,

The struggle to keep it together,
And not feel under the weather,

The struggle to keep a smile on my face,
When it feels like I'm in a race,

A race with my thoughts and emotions,
