A Friend in a Pen


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
