My Man, My Friend Poem by ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY

Although you think I cannot see
Because they're deep within your heart
I've seen you cry your silent tears
Descending down - salty, clear
Like the rain in your soul
As they silently slide to the corners of your mouth
Right on down into my heart


I feel your pain held you close within my arms
As you wept with unshed tears that caught in your throat
Some current...
Some from the past
So intent on finding peace
Somewhere...
Out there admidst your grief


My heart wonders, if someday
If you'll give me the chance...
To quench your passioned thrist
Allow my music to play the strings of your heart

In a different way
A different tune

Without ever letting you forget your other
Then one day, you'll find sweet love again
