We travelled through the noisy streets
Staring at those buildings of old
I marveled at these our feats
That before were seldom told
My heart spoke and yours listened
Yet no words were needed
The response you gave was in the air
Yet produced no symphony or sound
I heard it all, loud and clear
And in it a new joy I found
I smiled and you wondered why
Then I saw from the corner of my eye
That you closed your eyes, sighed and smiled
For ‘twas true – no one lied or pried
The ‘yes’ was said silent but loud
And the friendship made me proud

. . . but am I mad or lost in a dream
Is ecstasy the feeling or does it only seem
Is this a thing that mortals do
Do they love and stick like glue
Is everyday but a symphony
Do we cry thinking of looming agony
Can we depart and yet stay,
forever in those hearts that love us as they say
Where together can we go
And of the end, how clearly can we know
Are we immersed in a passing frenzy
Or are we simply trying to be friendly
Let us thence vow ne'er to let go
And no more pains to mortal hearts bestow!
In honor of a friendship that I never had, and that left me wondering if another as this I will ever find!
Apox Dec 2020
Let my heart be glad
For no friendship as this have I had
Let these memories ne'er fade
And no farewells ever be bade
Let me take thy palm in honor
Of a thing most sublime and dear
Where shall that exchange be made
If not in a hearth where love was bred?
What shall my mind conceive
If not this symbol that I receive?
Alas! I have known it all in its verity
And shed tears at such brevity
Only the hope of heaven can console
Eternal love there'll be for us all
In honor of a friendship that I never had and that left me wondering if another as this I will find!

She is like the evening breeze
To which all hearts exposed readily freeze
Her smile is a permanent glow on her face
I carry that image to every place
Her heart - calm and laden with peace
Is there any as blessed as this?
Her eyes make the sun recoil in shame
The wind will pause when you mention her name
Her dress leaves the radiance of roses wanting
And her walk is to me a favorite dancing
A misnomer, but they say, "most wanted"
Who for me is splendor "most granted"
Mortal battles immortal in an eternal wrangle
Woe to me but not this slim angel
For in my darkness, she is the light
Even her shadow is bright!

It flies high, way up in the air
Held by the strings that show our care
The secret therein is signified
Even the past promises are now dignified
The rose encircled is the emblem
But it's poor love - victory with no fame!

Battered by the winds but never shaken
Stretched to its limit but not broken
A worthwhile fight, yet only for symbolism
Though that figure I know shares our optimism
So fly on higher flag and show -
that love will be lost no more!
Apox Feb 2019
There is hope a hundred fold
Hope for something we greatly desire
There is hope for a love untold
That it will yield what others will greatly admire
So the thing to do is to pray
That God will show and guide the way
For if white roses become red
Then a greater love has been bred
But bright flowers grow by a bright light
So that their growth can be prolonged in a darkened night
When comedians make audiences snigger
When trees from mustards become bigger
So it's not a thing anymore of grit
Nor to surrender to one's wit
But it's a thing purely of the divine
For in the end, that love will be yours and mine!

Heaven's now filled with comedy
No history nor tragedy
For heaven's known for the better
A place that never grows old
You partook naught of the nether
So in the former, we shall you behold
But, alas, you were gone so fast
Before our generation could spring to this crust
We miss you but not what you wrote
For in your writings, our pleasures are got
Now you have heaven for a fairest stage
No critics, no death, no tempest rage
So choose your plays carefully
That divine merry may last eternally
And when every Saint an actor you know
Send us on earth some scripts to show
