I feel like
A billiard game
Setup and broke
Apart by ones
That look like
Me but have
Selfish purpose it
Aims and collides
Sending me sailing
Off others and
Out of play
Until all of
Me is spent
Then I’m silent
The game over
Then at once
Racked up again
And sent careening
Just like meteors
You live life
I live mine
Circling like magnets
Some times opposed
Other times attracted
We dance there
Never ever sure
What the other
Will certainly do
Careless and carefree
Two of us
Here in space
One of my
Favorite things is
You as child
Monkey they called
You not because
You resembled one
But because you
Scaled trees there
You’ve always been
The monkey to
My gorilla just
A couple of
Primates that people
Admire in public
And in darkness
Your voice bleeds
Memories of past
Laughter and ache
Sometimes someone does
Get in to
Even the hardest
Heart cold after
Years of betrayal
Here let me
Lift your spirit
To love again
Don’t be afraid
Of the heartbreak
Because the heart
Knows no pain
And like a
Hibernating bear we
Once again awakened
From the sleep
Renewed we stretched
And yawned once
Again searching for
The honey and
Berries of each
Other a new
Season of adventure
We waddled out
And squinted at
The future we
Are our friendship
Is like that
