    Would forge a friendship, apparently so complete—

    I felt a closeness that drew me into your essence.
    Your voice was smooth, calm and confident…

    With subtle notions, we reach a sinergy of common values,
    And shared our differences and unique similarities,
    Within our hearts, mind and souls...
    We secretly hoped that this person would be the one;
    And, in retrospect... in meeting a stranger, I found a caring friend    —

    Very beautiful, yet the real love is within oneself.And still that of a true friend is a beautiful thing too.

    my friend, i appreciate your words and evaluation, my poetry is personal; and it means a lot to me, when a reader can truly relate and feel my words... thejazpoet
