You are friendly, kind and caring

Sensitive, loyal and understanding

Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise

Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others

Generous, charming, but not one that
smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold

Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow
old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

Love Is ...
 Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control,
So remember when your eyes meet
mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into
you,
Right from the very start.

For Those Lost In 9/11

 If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain

You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain,

Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there

An Entrapment
 My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not

compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the
beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being

whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.

As It Comes To An End
by Kay
 As I sit here in class,
I observe my friends
And look forward to the year
Coming to an end.

It's gonna be sad

To say good- bye.
I'll miss everyone.
I know I will cry.

I remember the day

When I came back
To be with my friends
And get on the right track.

We had so many moments;

Some bad, most great.
I'll always remember the love
And erase the hate.

I don't wanna say good- bye

To all my friends.
I don't want this year
To come to an end.
Friends Don't Always Last
by Ashley Baron
 I try to be nice, but you just
laugh.
I'm not fitting in anymore, what
can I do?
You don't realize, but it's
starting to hurt.
When everything's just right, it
always turns to dirt.

Help me, what am I doing

wrong?
I don't understand, I'm there
when your not strong.
I try to be happy most of the
time, but it's getting harder
now,
knowing your friendship isn't
mine.
Can We Still Be Friends?
by Kathleen Sheppard
I was cold and hurting
lost out in the night
wandering and searching
for heaven's light

I saw the night sky clearing

when you spread your rainbow wings
But little did I know
what joy you would bring

From that moment on

a friendship did start
you kissed away my tears
and sheltered my heart

I bless the day God

sent him from above
But then I grew fearful
for I had fallen in love

I told you this feeling

and what did you say?
You said you liked our friendship
and that's how it would stay

I cried for a friendship I thought I lost

But then felt your warm, gentle hand
You then whispered in my ear
that by my side you'll forever stand

The Mistake You Cannot Forget

by Ashlie
You say you cannot forget
And you aren't ready to forgive
But I need your friendship
 More than you'll even know
I need you there to live

Without you by my side today

Life's been going, oh so slow
I miss your calls
Our endless talks
The places we would go

You can't even bear to look at me,

And I know my mistake
For because of one night,
And a few thoughtless actions,
When you saw me you ran and hid

I know we cannot take it back

As much as we would like to
But we could forget
And start all over
Just friends, that's me and you

If time is what you need,

Then I guess that's what you'll get
But I need you there for me soon,
My friend,
I hope you will forget.

Seek Not My Heart

by Kit McCallum
Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
 Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,

Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,

Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,

For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,

Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,

Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,

For simply ... it has torn apart.

Slow Tears
 by Martini
I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you're always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek
