he ran his hand across the ancient wood
closed his eyes and opened his mind and heart
"What lays within?" he thought
feelings of deep strength and beauty, kindness, surrounded his air
as he chiseled to create the precious first carved line
a new life of expression was born
"yes" he thought, "I shall create now, what is within"
feeling the gracefully carved lines, after every one is delicately carved
all with meaning, a thread of love,passion, happiness
"with passion and aroha I shall pour" he thought
when he finished his master piece of pure beauty
he smiled and tenderly sat back to admire
"oh yes! one can still love and express, when my love is so afar"
He thought
He closed his eyes
smiled
and
thought
"For you my beautiful friend"

About this poem:
My inspiration came from my uncle who is a beautiful carver in NZ.
Seeing his carvings, I was inspired to write this poem for a friend, I have met from far away.

Theres this girl that lives out west
She reads my poems and tells me they,re the best
That brings to my lips a smile
And makes it all worth while
Reading her comments makes me want to write
It also causes me to sleep a little better at night
For just to know she has taken the time
I search for words that will rhyme
To say thanks is the least I can do
Like Johnny maybe someday Ill write a poem about you
Dont know what it will be about
But Ill keep writing and maybe someday youll find out

Baptised into the depths of
not his world
a circled tail
a stunning view
mesmerising
to the mere few
a need of soul
as black as hell
crouching foolishly
to toll the bell
a gripping roar
thrown out to the stars
"Release Me!"
I beg of you
Snap off these bars
I cannot awaken any more
I cannot see where you are
but I shall
to a silken wrap
slip silently in to your spell
for of trodden woven light
the cobwebs
as veils mysteriously
become my sight
Bells silently hanging
upon that stinging tail
I seduce, or deduce
it is quick
sharp
without
fail

Strong as a willow tree, our friendship bending over time strong and sure
Gently caresses the tears away
Sunshine filters thru the branches above reminding us of the day
Lighting the way,
Oh my soul you soothed
Lifting it with the power of your belief
Stings of betrayal with talons felt
Forces beyond control
The wind lifted higher baring my soul
Oh how I miss the protective cover
The season tore us apart you traveled away for a time
Oh how I missed your presence
The laughter you brought to the day
But with such simple words forgiveness and love were shown
Tis true courage does come thru in those tiny steps redemption was made
There are some things that are stronger
Stronger than the world winds that blow
The strength of the willow bends with time and fluttered back our friendship
With each new wind that blew it became stronger testing the time
I welcome it so as it is
Tighter than blood we became, 2 souls we share
Time marches on but we stand firm, each taking our turn under the willow
Opening the light from the darkest despair
Holding the hand as the branches whip about
Raising the chin to the light, gently but firmly see it is there
Protecting us it has from cruel forces that blew
Rebuking us with gentle stings but always true
Shelter from the scorching heat of the world
Oh dear friend what would I have done had you not taken strong hold of my hand
Pulling me into the protection of the willow we shared
Thank you dear friend for always being there, for listening to my tears of sorrow, my tears of joy
Thank you dear friend for sharing the willow with me for being my friend in times of need,
We shared so much and there is so much yet to share, I miss you with all my heart until we are near.
Uplifting each other to the best that we can, listening and sharing without pains of judgment, no truer friend can be.

I am the key
You are the lock
I am the boat
You are the dock
I am the book
You are the reader
I am the birds
You are the feeder
I am the thread
You are the spool
I am the water
You are the pool
I am the foot
You are the shoe
I am the knot
You couldn't undo

Peace is a fresh morning breeze, silence, gentle and soft
It cures wound it is splendid like thousand stars
Keep the peace in mind feel young forever
Love is a flower that blooms, beautiful, serenity
It is a spirit to live it shines like the sun and light like the moon
Keep the love in heart feel the happiness forever
Hatred is a fire, burn, agitation and horrible
It drops down the dignity it is worse than a devil’s smile
Keep the hatred in soul feel dying inside forever

For in the lines
of the internet
a friendship has
developed here.
It seems like
all my walls
are down.
For the real
person can come
out protected
by the screen
for not another
in front of me.
No one can see
the real me.
Now i can be
who i am ME.
I always try to
put the right foot
forward, but shyness
loneliness seems to
pull me back.
Make me longing
for a friendship
more yet scared
to open that door.
Tonight i let the
wall down just
the screen be that
invisible shield to
protect me on the
inside until i am
comfortable to let
it come down.
Letting me come
face to face
with you at last.

Your witticism delighted all CS members
Your poems warmed my soul.
Your talent surprised me.
Your disappear made us empty.
You said: Come to visit me, I'll offer you plane tickets.
I said: sorry, I can't get the visa.
You said: No problem, I'll go to visit you in 2010
I replied: ok, I wait

And I think all your old CS friends remember you...

Hope our friendship can make you feel better.

Hope my greetings can make your smile
Just as bright as before.

Look at the mirror,
Look back at those eyes,
It's not cold like mine,
So your heart is not stone.
Love is a stranger,
Just like fire and ice,
Someday you will find,
A man who loves you right girl.
And if you fall through the cracks,
I'll be there with the poetry pack,
We will show you from the lost way,
Lovingness and bring your old self back.e
