Spending Time With You

Folder: 
Dedications

I’ve traveled to far

and exotic places

tasted the forbidden fruit

of life’s pleasures



I’ve danced in the rain

and felt its gentle touch

gazed at a full moon

on a cloudless Winter night



I’ve heard the katydids sing

and the night music come alive

wished for secret things

on the first star light



I’ve walked for miles

along a deserted beach

squished wet sand between my toes

and drawn peace from the crashing waves



I’ve waded in a cold creek

on a hot Summer day

picked violets beside the riverbank

and smelled their sweet perfume



I’ve slept in a field of daisies

on a warm Spring day

closed my eyes

and conceived a thousand dreams



I’ve listened to the rain drum

a lulling rhythm on a tin roof

opened my windows at dusk

and heard the pelting of raindrops on leaves



But none of those things have brought me

as much pleasure as

spending time with you, my friend!

Written for my best friend. Even though he lives 600 miles away, we are as close as any two friends can be. I love him to pieces!

This one I love. I enjoyed all your writing, but this one I just had to let you know it. Write on and let the world hear your heart. Doris

You are the first poet on postpoems.com that I have ever read and started crying. Me and my best friend are in a fight right now over nothing and this immediatley made me think of her. Thank you for reminding me of how good the company of a best friend is!
