After my first Christmas catch up back home in too many years, it amazed me how utterly unbreakable some friendships can be. You pick up from the last time you spoke without resentment, pain or confusion - as though no longer has passed than a single day. Such a precious feeling when you see people like that, so this is my dedication to that feeling. Much love to all the wonderful people in my life. x x
Life's consistent ache - is to belong.
The militant media, filling heads with lies.
Soulless caverns within our soul,
Ache for this empty belonging.
We try building intricate iron-clad structures.
Across vacuous chasms of nothingness beneath.
When really what we crave beyond all else,
Is the bond that friendship brings.
There was a time,
When it ached more than anything,
Artificial loneliness programmed into our souls,
Until we learned to lean on each other.
United. Our hearts.
Swelling with connected smiles.
Together - a team.
We are more than unbreakable.
Each soul fights what it can,
Against the darkness, suffering and strife.
Not always knowing these forces in our life,
Are strongest when times are tough.
There are too many things,
That we try to battle against alone;
When the gravity of friendship would overpower,
And fight the fight with nothing but courage.
My friend,
In every moment when times are hard,
Know in the depths of your soul,
That no matter what happens,
I will be by your side,
Through everything,
Forever more.

Can relate to your poem in many ways—— in particular when you express feelings of belonging, as well as what many are programmed to believe... we all have struggled in such ways. Cheers
whether intended or not, I caught the very essence of one stop poetry and its reason for existing in your poem. tha's one level :)
A lovely poem about friendship - thank you for sharing
what is life without those special people to share it with...friends...nice poem...
friendship is something so precious and powerful...nice one shot!
i agree with bumfuzzled here..friends are those we pick by heart and they make our moments much tolerable with their being there..even in silence, they speak love :)
i like this piece..A LOT :)
“Until we learned to lean on each other.” How very true. This is a remarkable poem, filled with great meaning and a powerful reminder of the role friendship plays in our lives. Thank you!
A true friend is a true treasure. I wish I could write something this beautiful to mine, but I often get lost for words when I try. Why is it that some of us can't tell our love for the others and their importance in our lives?
Another beautiful poem, Carmela. I have included you to my blog list because I've just notice you're a prolific writer and I don't want to miss it.
Thanks for finding a way to me, I'm glad to have met you this year, it was one of 2010 nice surprised left to the end of the year!
May 2011 be sweet to you. There's no way to know what the future holds, but we can still wish it to be sweet and fair.
Kiss you girl. =*
It's nice to have such feelings.
Wonderful One Shot, Carmela!
You spoke volumes here. Humanity's inner feelings all boil down to a few simple desires - calm, togetherness and understanding. Yet tension overtakes them all leaving too much conflict. So sad. Love your expressions.
Fate created my One Shot.
Smart-minded, telling work. More showing - in terms of imagery - would make this excellent.
