"I will wear it always,
I'll never take it off".
A promise I made him,
When he gave it, to keep.
Hung on a silver chain
It dangles on my chest
A gift from my lover
Vowing his love ran deep.
Good luck charm so pretty
In rainbows, colours pure
If another should touch it
The powers sure to seep.
Crystal powers emit
Health, wealth and happiness
All this bypasses me
So, this is why I weep.

FOUND
My friend who was lost to me
Found her sitting there
Alienated by others
Who differ to me and her.
The wedge driven between us
Was wide enough to repair
We talked of many things
Just like we used to, but
Some tension was still there.
Time will heal our wounds
we'll be as close as we were
We'll be strong and carry on.
And stand together as a pair.
To make mistakes is human
Listening to others was to err.
They want their pound of flesh or
Scapegoat, they just don't give a care
We missed the fun and laughter
The trust we built and shared
The stories and poetry swaps
Though I am here, she is over there.
But we have news for them
That will stir a hornets nest
When they find out that .
We will stand united, and
tilt our noses in the air.

THE EMBERS RELIT.
I was getting along just fine
Until you happened along
Stirring up the embers
of an almost extinguished flame.
I'm not sure how this happened,
You know we are only friends!
Then you spoke something, that
tingled my spine erotically.
I must re-build my walls higher
I cannot let you in here.
I do not know you properly
I have never seen your face.
Touching you would be majestic
If you were not so far away
My heart beats are skipping
As I lie here, thinking about you.
