friends


Dearest Friend
laughs and smiles and giggles
daily I look forward
to your charm
quips and comebacks
live inside a note
closed in a closet
the friendship

needing air
newness like the spring
let it blossom in light
leaving the darkness behind
the seed has been planted
nothingness can not return
it is here
Watering the seed
has been troublesome
How to move this from
beneath the ground
into the sun?
As God guides the birth
of a seed
so will He guide
this connection
no worries and no contemplation
Our spirits will be our guides
and the power of friendships
will ensue....

Anaïs Nin:

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
