To a dear friend I saw recently

standing in time, the experiences that pass
the long ago now reflected in your face
the fears that you have hid so well burden your gaze
the longings that you have managed to elude turned to ghosts
if once I stood at the door of your heart, naked
I now help you carry your loneliness--
Don't go without loving, please don't.
