Friend
Friend, you are my atlas to a better world
Friend, you paint the colors of my struggles
Friend, you paint the colors of my joys
Friend, you know the ways of a dreamer
Friend, you know the path to ethereal places
Friend, you read me like a book and like the plot
Friend, you listen with your eyes, ears and tears
Friend, you teach the music and words of hope
Friend you are a sweet and loving presence
Thank you, Friend—I am profoundly fortunate

Hi Chris....A different write from your usual....it goes to show how versatile you are.... We all need friends who got our backs....love the repetition in the piece.....nicely written
Lots of love....Rose
hey Rose....yes, I don't usually write like this, but I hate patterns, poetry is an expanding universe of expression, I suppose as long as it translates from poet to reader, most anything goes... a very liberating art and I'm a perpetual student, friendship has always fascinated me, I appreciate the comment, glad you read....cheers
Hi Christopher Such a different write for you
but it is lovely,A poem showing your appreciative heart to a friend
who appreciates you being there just as much
loved this one Friend
Best Wishes Debs
wow, thank you Deborah, your kindness over whelms me, hugs
A true friend indeed Chris, thank you for introducing to us, its friends like that do indeed make the world a far better place. Enjoyed very much my man :-)
bee!! yeah, howdy pardner, thanks for cool comment, and I didn't mean a word of it, lol, kidding of cause, I love my friends on here....cheers pal
If one of my friends read this to me, I'd become soft as dough haha crying and the works. I loved this! Glad to be back and read your impressive works again, much love brother poet!
Your own, Curious Onlooker
thanks for saying that, my friend and I suspect I would be the same, good to see you back on and refreshed, hope all is well, miss ya, much love to you as well brother poet, peace
Hi Chis this is a poignant write here my friend (pardon the pun) friends come and go but a true friend will always have your back and be there for you in your time of need.
cheers jeff
Jeff, I sometimes try for poignant and end up with pointless, so I'm most honored by your words, be well, and thank you
Hey CHRISTOPHER!!......this is VERY clever brother poet!!.......the repetition, for me, made me think how it is friendships that come and go all through a persons lifetime.......that help them to understand themselves.......to learn new points of view......to appreciate in others what they do not find in themselves......as though the author were saying, "Friend, you are the common thread hemming together the fabric of my life!!".......ALL STARS......enjoyed this VERY much my friend.......smiles.......T xo ?
hey Tony, lol, you are the clever one, such a profound observation, my friend, honestly poems come to me and I just write them down, it's an emotional overflow manifesting itself in words, so most of the time I so something new every time I read one, I really don't see myself, 'owning' a poem, it may sound dumb, but at times I look back on an old poem I wrote and it's mysterious how it came about, I like that though, I don't want to know how things like that work, anyway my friend that is one great comment....and in response to something you said after a comment I made on one of your poems, I want to tell you that you consistently post the best poems, I won't say more to piss off administration, lol, but just wanted you to know you are recognized and appreciated....cheers
Well.....for someone who states he doesn't like repetition....you do it well my friend! I like this one. Great job! I especially liked the line...."Friend you are a sweet and loving presence" This can be interpreted by the reader as someone living or having passed away........current friend...or past friend. I love this kind of sentence....poetry is truly mysterious in itself.....interpretation solely rests upon the eyes who read it next....in that, remember Chris....... you can never really...you see.... be repetitive! Hope that made your day! Great writing. Paula
lol, I 'hate' repetition Paula, but I recognize that certain words can be repeated, like beautiful love friend and my personal favorite, 'freedom' in all its forms, 'repetition' can also mean repeating a poem with different words, that one is fairly common and highly subjective, what I really want to do with poetry is to explore possibilities in form and expression and they are endless, I consider myself a student of writing, loving the variety I see on here, cosmo is a great school for poetry, but only if you really want to learn....hey, you did actually did make my day, love your advice and comment, thank you, it is food for thought, have great day
can never have too many friends this poem is very inspiring linda
My Brother Poet Chris,
