My Friend Poem by david e golledge

Shyness embodied in a sunlit smile,
unassuming beauty offered chance to be wild.
Hair flowing like a fall of gold,
the blue in her eyes to which I was sold.

A vessel of freedom, she’s fragile and kind.
her gentle feet glide leaving stardust behind.
Taking faltering steps towards my heart,
the sweetness and truth that welcomes the start

of a match made in moonlight under clear winter skies,
stripped naked by midnight and innocent of lies.
In truth a glimpse of what it’s all for,
the sense and the reason seen through open door.

Heading for this since the day of my birth,
she comes from inside, and heaven, and earth.
Only in love are we ever fulfilled,
without it we’re thrown like leaves in the wind

in ignorance of what it means to live,
to feel warmth and pain, to suffer and forgive.
I can never recall finding such satisfaction
In all that I observe, this giving that causes

a strange reaction for her I don’t deserve.
A mystery her motives for choosing me
to rid her of heartache and to make her see
that loving is good and not a mistake

just hard at times and when she breaks
she knows I’ll be there to carry her through
the depths of the darkness and into the blue.
I’d give her the universe with it’s silvery glow

the softness of ocean and end of rainbow.
Everything to her and hers to command
if she would only take my hand
and lead me to the place I want to be.

Me for her.
Her for me.
The time we have will always be good.
I feel it in spirit and flesh and blood.

The want I have now may never end.
Thank you my angel,
my love,
my friend.
