A Friend in a Pen
A friend in a pen is all I seek
To care with flair, as poets speak.
I have no lust for sin's romance
Nor for the thrill of unwilled chance.
Just a friend in a pen to read and feel
So moved to prove that love is real.
I have no wish for pictured page
Nor face to face a face that's aged.
Just a friend in a pen to share the me
That hides within where no one sees.
I have no care for idle chat
Nor for the sport of tiff and spat.
Just a friend in a pen to write and say
That thoughts aren't games for fools to play.
I have no time for tired advice
Nor cliches chore, a bore device:
Just a friend in a pen too deep for prose
Or small talk's pointless, turned up nose.
I have no need to note my name,
A true friend would require no claim.
Just a friend in a pen who adores my style
And despite time, recalls my smile.
I do not know if in life's heart
Dwells someone who will fill this part,
Yet, a friend in a pen I seek to reach
While no one cares save me and thee.
~ P.S. Colley
