A Poem Of Friendship
by Robert Davidson
to escape the prison of my skull
you have become a necessary part of me
lurking on the fringes of my dream
relationships i find are vast deserts
demanding all, challenging all
and for that purpose we are given one another
left to myself i become inward, morose
whipped by self-pity's bitter lash
so when the ultimate separateness of soul frightens me
i return gratefully to the sympathy of touch
a friend of entirely different temperament
becomes a relief from the monotony of personality
a balm for the wounds of human love
now i know the thoughts of your heart before you speak them
our solitudes broken
i guard your privacy in fear of my own

Sorry Robert,
This poem is full of abstractions and reads like a Teen journal.
Seems to offer nothing for the reader to relate too, outside self-pity.
Boring.

Well I think you maybe got out of bed the wrong side this morning K ?
This is a personal introspective poem with much more skill and thought than any teen journal could possibly muster.
Maybe not to everybody's sensibilities but I do like it Robert.

Yeah I agree with that, bit like a bad hair day thingy or one of those watchamacalit days.
Cannot find any of Colin’s prose to compare with Roberts?
