I have a friend who writes poetry... I love her to bits and pieces... I want to share some of her fabulous work...

1: My heart told me to write to you
Today, in this noisy ballroom,
Where I’ve been at every Friday
Since as long as I can remember

My eyes searched for yours
In the midst of my family and friends,
Who know you better than I do,
But tell me nothing
Of the things I already know

My lips are too silky and pale
Without gloss and things
That would make them glow
Bright red like today yours are not either

My nose is empty
And without a beautiful fragrance
Such as the one that surrounds you
Over there, too far away
From me and my searching nose

My heart, my eyes
My lips, my nose
All yearn for the
Heart, eyes, lips, and nose
Of you

2: Kiss me or don’t kiss me-
I do not care
As long as you are here
And not there

The touch of your warm lips
Lingers on mine
But, I do not miss them as much
When I know they’re against her skin

My friend I love your poetry and will cherish it...
