You've established a connection like no other. You spend time with each other and have gotten to know each other better. They make you feel special, and you let them know that they have touched your life in a way like no one else could. You share your dreams and each aspect of your life with your friend.  What happens next......
 
 
Friends
 
I was cold and lonely
Lost in a distant place
Wandering and searching
For love's open gate.
My journey came to an end
When you spread your loving wings,
But I did not anticipate
The happiness that you would bring.
From the moment that you kissed me
You healed my wounded heart.
I knew right then and there
A great friendship was about to start.
Your touch was so enchanting
I felt you were sent from above,
But my joy soon turned into fear
Because I had fallen in love.
You see this love was not one so simple
Although the hope was strong
I feared our love could not be lasting
Because to another, you belonged.
I told you of my feelings
And my fears came true that day
You said you loved me as a friend
And that's how it needed to stay.
I thought I had lost your friendship
I cried for you each night
And then you reassured me
That you'd always be by my side.
Joyce Oscar is originally from Memphis , Tennessee she now resides in Atlanta Georgia. She loves all forms of music from Country to Jazz. Her repertoire includes poetry, fiction, essays and songs. Her outlook on life translates into her writing. She states, " I believe that poetry is the measured language of emotion. It bears witness to our lives and what we have experienced. It is a celebration of language in its most illustrious, enchanting, and intense form. Poetry has an inimitable power to re-create the human experiences like falling in love, losing love, facing death and disease, losing faith and courage, and finding God. Poems transform the everyday into a creative journey through our imaginations."
