UNORDINARY FRIENDS

Unconsciously we’ve built that kind of bond shallow minds constantly fail to conceive
They were never made to but the great minds that do work hard to achieve it
They thieve at moments of their lives trying to sieve through the grains of people
And they wonder why compared to us, they come up with nothing but dust
Compared to us nothing quite as robust as the trust between two souls of one mind
We’re best of friends… best of the unordinary kind.
The relationship hard to find between chromosome X and XY but nothing quite as cumbersome
Maybe complicated sometimes but the thunderstorms come down as a drizzle
when we already dove into a sea of simplicity and hand in hand riding high on its waves.

Conversational lovers we are
Tumbling under sheets of words and ink
It was never really our intention to make invincible our sexual tension
Perhaps it was he or I who may have forgotten to mention it during our serial conversations of everything and nothings
That makes something out of midnight other than the clock striking twelve with me losing my slippers and a the carriage turning into a pumpkin
I have never had to be anything other than my tattered self with him.
Maybe because he’s just as shattered as me and shreds of our scattered selves sleep upon the same floor
And flatter the seemingly pretty walls that overlook us.
Birds of the same feather
Colorful and beautiful but ruffled altogether
Tangled until we bind
We’re best of friends… best of the unordinary kind.

Men have knocked upon my door and excused themselves in no time
‘Cause despite their best efforts to fill in the blanks they never could make it rhyme
Their profound diction and wordy precision regardless of how honest
Was never enough when effortlessly we could freestyle a thousand sonnets
Somewhere along the line I made you my pen
And I moved you to write beautiful poetry of pure love and unordinary friends
Till you got me in every sense and I you but you were never really mine
Afterall we are just friends, although the best of the unordinary kind.

I have often hoped for more
And more would be an epic folklore
But we may never stand together before an altar
And slide gold bands down each other’s fingers
However, the intensity of our forever simply lingers over the melodies of our favorite singers
As we make memorable and precious a lonely bench by just sitting and enjoying each other’s company there.
And in this moment I could lose all of the world, leave it all behind
Because the world is full of the ordinary and we’re a long way from its kind.
