Friendship Seeks New York Poem by Martha Barba

Such a distance between New York and LA

Conversation can sometimes be difficult between your

New York and LA life

New York holds your blood that you hold close to your soul

LA, what does it hold? LA consists of your family and passerbys.

I've held some conversations with you, and you're one of the few

Few people that can be real and put a smile on your face

You're a REAL man that hold few thoughts back, which makes for a good acquaintance or friend

I realize for maybe many months in between, shall conversation not take place....knowing it's in

the future makes me feel good.



Too forward may cause a misunderstanding

Too forward may get your mind racing into thoughts of confusion

Too forward may cause no such friendship to create

Too forward may get me to lose, what few conversation was there



You've told me more than once, "In life one should have fun; we're only here once and say as you should."

Putting heavy thoughts into action, on my own gain or lost friendship

Hope to put a smile on your face, and warmth within

is what I hope to create within you.



A held hand...

A warm hug...

A warm touch...friendship comes in so many ways



Hope your mind is open

Hope your mind doesn't take back a pure feeling

New York, New York was it your forward talk or your friendly smile...

New York simply makes me feel good

LA seems far, but know I'm not too far

from emotion, talk or listen

Understand it's to get to know you is what I seek...

for friendships are most treasured

Keeping it real and true, listen to these words and take this peaceful journey

Too much said, but friendship in LA seeks that of New York's...
