Poem for Peter

Hi there Pete, I thought it was about time,
I broke the silence between us,
With just a little rhyme.

I know you've been busy, well, so have I,
But I think, what came between us,
Was - well - you know why.

I mean, you and me, writers in our prime,
Without a bad word between us,
No, not a single crime.

We'd never fall out, or give cause to cry,
There was nowt that came between us,
No, not one tiny lie.

You were just like me, seeker in the slime,
With the world of words between us,
(And mine would tend to rhyme).

You Pete, were fearless, as your pen did fly,
Your words of wisdom between us,
Daring to light the sky.

You and me though, well we just seemed to chime,
Sharing our Poems between us,
Searching for the Sublime.

But, let's face it Pete, I say now with a sigh,
In the end what came between us,
Was you - daring to die.
