had a friend <br />good friend <br />for more than a decade <br />we talked of poetry <br />and how the love of a woman <br />cured the soul of many ills <br />though not all <br />as death still lurked <br />beyond even <br />the most passionate kiss <br />then I went Buddhist <br />told him of my discovery <br />and the peace of the man’s words <br />said I sounded <br />like one of those Sunday morning <br />Tele-evangelists <br />that all I needed <br />to be the same was <br />more grease in my hair <br />and a tie. <br />Told him I was on the path <br />now <br />but didn’t need others <br />to join <br />if they didn’t want to <br />he laughed <br />finally telling me <br />to stop the bullshit <br />that I was just <br />a failed Talmudic student <br />on a jaunt through Eastern fantasy. <br />Two years I listened <br />every so often <br />confessing my heart <br />until I ended his chatter <br />with distance <br />sad <br />that he never saw me.<br /><br />Charles Chaim Wax<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/years-ago/
