Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Friendship Promise

It was from the very start, you and I had crossed paths.
I was earnest to know you and you said you were too.
When we became friends, we shared lots of things-
Shared gossips, whispered secrets that we dearly promised to keep.

Yet these were things we had back on the days of yore.
And now that we grow old, we can only think those moments precious to behold.
We both promised, we both swore that our friendship stays forevermore.
Forever - that one of us may go. We'll recall our happy days and forget our woes.

We’d faced our fears, shed many tears, cried on sorrows, laughed with peers.
Those memories remain so fresh. Even if we’re old, it’s worth to reminisce.
I’m grateful to have you as my friend. We may grow old and come to end,
In our hearts, true friendship once sown. And this in heavy storm can never be blown.




Forever Etched: A Tapestry of Time", Rewrite

From threads of first encounters, our paths did entwine,
A yearning to connect, in your eyes and mine.
Friendship bloomed, a vibrant weave, shared laughter and trust,
Whispers of secrets, in youthful hearts we'd bust.

Time's hand has spun the tapestry, its hues now bittersweet,
Memories shimmer, precious pearls, where once dreams did fleet.
Though wrinkles etch our faces, and laughter's echo wanes,
Our promise still holds strong, through life's sun and rains.

For fear we've faced, and tears we've shed, like beads upon the strand,
Shared joys with kindred spirits, a treasure hand in hand.
Though age may steal our steps, the tapestry unwinds,
Each scene a cherished touch, forever in our minds.

Grateful whispers fill my heart, for a bond that time can't break,
A friendship's vibrant canvas, no storm can ever shake.
Even when our threads grow frail, and colors start to fade,
The love we've woven close, forever will pervade.
