Hi Rae

I write rarely and even then badly, but I write what I feel at the time. This is one of my poems that I have posted on "thestarlitecafe.com" site.




The Connection

There are lots of connections
people use them all the time
to get that better job
and to earn another dime

We connect with people
talk sports or the arts
based on interests common
soon a friendship starts

We all have acquaintances,
buddies and pals abound
but bonds of the heart
these are few to be found

The connection of the heart
goes far beyond the friendship bond
to a place of wonder
like the touch of a magic wand

It could start with a smile,
a laugh, a touch or a gaze
but you know in an instant
they're the one for the rest of your days

You know before they talk
what they are going to say
and ending one another's sentences
becomes the rule of the day

Their feelings and emotions
you know from afar
and when you speak of it
neither think it bazaar

Not a casual affair
this is more than affection
even love doesn't cover
this ultimate soulmate connection

Rae and Melody

Thank you both for your comments. I can't seem to write poetry unless I my emotions are either at the crest or in the deepest valley. It is at those times when the need to get something out becomes strong enough to force my hand to write. So Rae this is a first draft and the only draft, because once I get things out I no longer seem to have the desire or patience to deal with it. Looking at my 'collection' (and I use that term very loosely) I guess that my life must be pretty stable or mundane most of the time because I don't write much.

I'll probably post more of my collection later. who knows

Again thank you for your comments!

Hugs Jeri
