Who said that words defined the boundaries
That demarcated the stages of friendship?
That you're not a good friend
Until it is said so?
Yet, a friendship
Of which stage it is in is not said
Can become close
No matter how rhetorical the...

I cruise down the road
In my Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Down the coastal highway
To the isolated cottage
That was my home
You see, I had driven in a long circle
To re-live the thrill
Of going back home
Back to my home on the coast
That came from a...
Coastal, Poetry, free verse
The snow falls descend over Herod Point
As I watch with a sober placid eye
For in my heart, I feel an emotion rise up
A strange warmth
That is so special
Only certain things that I hold dear can cause it
From my heart into my head
And into the...

**Debt (A Poem)**
by **KitsuneJey**
_"What's this stuff?" you just ask,_
_In the middle of the night,_
_To the fox who's working now,_
_Taking most of after hours._
_"Please, come here," I reply._
_"There is room for you and me._
_Do not mind...

I wanted to light a candle for you,
A simple gesture,
That's for sure.
The flame warm and soothing,
Like your presence on a rainy day.
I wanted to play a song for you,
To show you some things
That I know.
To reciprocate what you had given,
And...

**HITCHHIKE TALKS**
by **KitsuneJey** -- A Poem
_Excuse me, stranger.
Are you going to Vegas?
I'm a foreigner
who travels light,
and I confess
that I have sinned._
_I'm so grateful, dude.
Do we know each other?
All these wonders
run through...

Trepid
Cold
Shaking
Shivering
Quaking
Just beneath the weight
Holding the world
You knew to be true
As it all comes apart right in front of you
Your tenderness and care ripped from the epicenter
Like a cancer, metastasizing into a grotesque...
Depression, Poetry, expression, free verse
When we first met,
I didn't know what to expect,
All I knew is that I couldn't let
This depression plague you and keep you in debt,
On the outcome, I couldn't easily bet,
But after seeing your life with a huge dent,
I couldn't let you go...

Cassette
You pick the plastic square up,
and thought it impossible
how your parents used to listen
to these.
How treasured songs,
Promises of love,
Were stored on something so cheap.
What was so special about this player,
This...

Frost burned out the sky,
With the coming of the Gray.
No fires to keep at bay
The coldest of the night.
The ash is here,
Light the lanterns dear.
The best of plans, now awry
With the falling of the rains.
Darkness comes to reign,
And all...

As I look into the night sky
Looking at a far away star
I want to reach out and say hi
Yet I realize it is too far
The night is an endless black
Surrounding me with darkness
I know to watch my back
For life is not painless
Life can hurt us in a...

Everywhere I go, everywhere I look
I see men and women alike
Repeating the same routines day by day
Like a toddler circling the block on his trike
It seems to be the way of the world today
Back to the same place over and over again
An everlasting...
