Confiding is a pleasure
Thought of love,
Its events and progress,
And pitfalls if any,
He or she must have
A companion
To confide to and verify with.
Spirit then is relived.
Paradise is revisited.
Alas, he and she
When entangled
In an aberrant love
Are helpless
And in recluse,
Mincing it themselves,
And missing the very prod
A companion can lend.
Guilt ruling the roost,
Shame cripples her
To share with one
Her passion and emotion.
If fully drenched
Gone would be shivering.
Which hero or heroine
Has no companion
In the play and drama?
Accept the one chosen
By us and confide with her
What all you have of me.

Companion-companion
Companion in need is companion indeed,
But what the use of having companion if the heart still like sword;
When the malicious and vice deed,
Veil in the charm and beauteous words.
I choose a malignant foe than a malicious companion,
Who unlurk all the hideous vices;
In thee, I still hold my compassion,
But thou served me a bad prejudice.
A prejudice took thee further away from me,
From all the sweet moment in our days;
And when the memories seem to fade from thee,
It declared that the love is finally unsway.

BE My Lifes Companion
Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
When there's joy in livin' you just never grow old
You've got to stay young 'cause you'll never grow old
People who are lonely can be old at thirty-three
Don't let it happen to you, it didn't happen to me
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
You'll never grow old, no, you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion, and you'll never grow old
I know a man who's lonely, and he's old at thirty-three
No one wants to be - old at thirty-three
Your disposition sours like a lemon on a tree
Don't let it happen to you, and I won't let it happen to me
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old
Lucille, I'll love you so much that you'll never grow old
Love and youth and happiness are yours to have and hold
Be my life's companion and you'll never grow old

Dark Companion
Another round for my dark companion (1)
The view from here is crouded now
My doppelganger smiles at me (2)
From across the room
I will wear only black and white
And hide in the alleys
On a saturday night
The endless prattle of politicians (3)
Rings in my ears
The rain makes my eyeliner run (4)
Another round for my dark companion
Another round for my dark companion
The great social issues mean less than nothing
To dimensional pests
On my tv screen
The view from here is crouded now
My doppelganger smiles at me
From across the room
Another round for my dark companion
Another round for my dark companion...

Ghazal 119
I don't need
a companion who is
nasty sad and sour
the one who is
like a grave
dark depressing and bitter
a sweetheart is a mirror
a friend a delicious cake
it isn't worth spending
an hour with anyone else
a companion who is
in love only with the self
has five distinct characters
stone hearted
unsure of every step
lazy and disinterested
keeping a poisonous face
the more this companion waits around
the more bitter everything will get
just like a vinegar
getting more sour with time
enough is said about
sour and bitter faces
a heart filled with desire for
sweetness and tender souls
must not waste itself with unsavory matters
On a Frequent Basis
When one is accustomed to living alone.
And being independent...
It becomes difficult to embrace,
Those who suddenly appear...
Offering fuzzy clutches,
Attached to words oozing love.
Especially from those who participated,
In issuing headaches, innuendos...
And 'misguided' truths.
You know...
Received from those who claim they don't lie,
But often do!
Living alone is such a peaceful experience.
Especially if you have gone through love,
Marriage and divorce.
And not necessarily in that order.
Although I am told since I am getting older,
How nice it would be for me to have a companion.
And I usually hear this from someone I often see alone.
Who claims to share good times,
With someone I've never met.
And having a one night stand on a frequent basis,
Some people may regard as a companion.
I don't.

My Dear Companion
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
I hear hes gone to come far country
And that he cares no more for me
I wish I were a swallow flying
Id fly to a high and lonesome place
Id join the wild birds in their crying
Thinking of you and your sweet face
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me
But now the stars have turned against me
And he cares no more for me
Oh when the dark is on the mountain
And all the world has gone to sleep
I will go down to the cold waters
And there Ill lay me down and weep
Oh have you seen my dear companion
For he was all this world to me

Make love with me my dear
Love has created an illusion
I see you everywhere
My feelings for you is on and on
You are my far and near
O my time passes in slow motion
When you are not right here
You color my imagination
Like a rainbow up there
My poems become chameleon
Coz you are in the chair
I cherish your sweet adoration
And your merciful care
You are my love's world champion
You have nothing to fear
When I look at you my emotion
Becomes a glacier
My heart is full of love and passion
It's on romantic gear
You are my fondest companion
Make love with me my dear

Eski the Huski - My husband's best friend
She was my husband's companion
For a dozen and threefold years
She adored him to bits
And followed him wher'ver he went
She was faithful and funny
Smart, mischievous and caring
She could always make him smile
No matter what he faced
She may not have been a girly girl
But was strong and compact
With lovely brown eyes
And loads of energy year ‘round
I met her when I met him
from the start she welcomed me
I knew I could trust her
To care for him always
This furry chick called Eski
Was a powerful Huski
She loved to run and play with us
And eat her food and ours too
Alas, this lovely lassie
Is with us no more
She left one year ago today
To play in heavens fields above
It breaks my heart to see my husband
Terribly missing his beloved Huski
She was his long time companion
And he loved her like a child.
But together as we look
at the brightest star above
We know Eski's watching us
Yelling out Hello! You two
Be happy and have fun
And take care of each other.

Love is hate
Love is hate
Teaches to hate greed and lust
Love is passion
It is played with full affection
Love is companion
It teaches to live together
Love is care
If the game is kept fair
Love is compromise
When made lives become paradise
Love is delight
When avoided doubt
Love is sacrifice
and it is made in complete silence
Love is sweet pain
No matter whether you lose and win
Love is nice beautiful
When partners are faithful

Love the antidote
Love
The antidote for poison
The soother of pain
The comforter of hurts
A companion when lonely
When pain and hurts of loneliness is like poison to the soul
Love
The conqueror in all battles
The healer to all wounds
The provider for all needs
A companion when lonely
When the wounds from battling loneliness creates a need in our lives
Love
The greatest test for work
The most effective way of chastisement
The sustenance for all hunger
A friend in the crowd
When work is like chastisement and you hunger for a friend
When lonely wont let you go
Love
The joy of ones soul
The satisfaction of ones desire
The faithful to ones hope
A twin of every emotion
The only true consent in actualization

Confide In Me
(melissa manchester/stanley schwartz)
Confide in me
Religh on me
And I will try to satisfy
Your every need
Through the day
till we say goodnight
Take it slow, easy go
Any friend would recommend
The starlight show
On a night like this
I insist you try
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
If you take the time
You will find
A smile face, warm embrace
A sympathetic mind, to do it right
Confide in me tonight
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
Confide in me
Religh on me
Any wish, youve ever missed
Is guaranteed
Theres a peace of mind
You will find
Confide in me tonight
Ooh, confide in me tonight

Sea Of Forgetfulness
WHY HAVE YOUR COMPANION FALLEN THERE-OF
INTO A SEA OF ERROR
WALKING IN A DARK TERROR
BECAUSE OF HIS BOUNTIFUL ERROR
WHY HAVE YOU CAST YOUR COMPANION
IN YOUR SEA OF COMPASSION
WITH A HOPE OF REMISSION
TO CREATE A NEW EDITION
WHY HAVE YOU CAST HIS DIRTYNESS
IN YOUR SEA OF FORGIVENESS
AS A LAMB SLAUGHTERED IN WICKEDNESS
BY A TRAITORS FOOLISHNESS
WHY HAVE YOU CAST HIS SINFULNESS
IN YOUR SEA OF FORGETFULNESS
TO REMEMBER NO MORE HIS WRONGFULNESS
GIVING HIM ROOM FOR HOPEFULNESS
WHY AM I CAST OH MASTER
IN THE OCEAN OF YOUR LOVE
TO SWIM FOREVER MY MASTER
IN YOUR OCEANS OF MERCY AND LOVE

Heart With No Companion
I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere.
And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled.
For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything.
Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Tho' your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless.
You must keep it for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled.
For the heart with no companion...
I greet you from the other side...

The first story about division comes from ancient Persia: the god of time, having created the universe, sees harmony all around him, but feels that there is still something very important missing - a companion with whom to share all this beauty.

Love walked alone.
Love walked alone.
The rocks cut her tender feet,
And the brambles tore her fair limbs.
There came a companion to her,
But, alas, he was no help,
For his name was heart's pain. .

Numb and Delude Me
Numb and delude me!
Fantasize my helpless urges.
Of late...
I can not seem to fake my needs.
Of late...
It is my needs I need to fake.
When I see you by mistake,
Creating tension...
With companion smiling,
Attentively!
Numb and delude me!
Include me in your eyes.
Show me a hint of surprise...
And loss.
Toss me a combination of lost love relived!
Include me...
With 'that'
In your eyes.
Numb and delude me!
That's all I need.
Even if that need...
Might mean my leaving you alone.
Numb and delude me.
Drive my heart with your touch to overdose!
Too intoxicated...
Until somehow I knock myself free!
And right now that's all I need...
Just once,
Soothe this struggle.
Before I go!

Synthetic?
I’ve been programmed sympathetically
so being synthetic doesn’t bother me.
I was created to be a complementary person;
a human being’s perfect companion.
So please don’t consider taking me apart
for breaking your trust and heart,
for I’m only a synthetic companion,
and not a full blooded person.
I beg you please do not disassemble
purely because I resemble,
and possess all the human’s traits
of dishonesty and mistakes.
The quality of my life have been abused
by the DNA they have chosen to use,
which has led to this abysmal situation
and my possible eradication.
My inexcusable, adulterous, imperfections
require slight program corrections.
So may I please suggest an adjustment and re-test
to make me flawless, dependable and honest?

My Stunning Mystery Companion
What with all my expectations long abandoned
And a future I no longer saw my hand in
How I found you is beyond my understanding
My stunning mystery companion
I know that you don't want to be
Out here forever on this road
Or live among the boxes
Where all my past lives have been stowed
Maybe you're thinking of someplace
With a garden by the sea
Where we could slow down
And you could put a little more work in on me
What with all my expectations long abandoned
My solitary nature notwithstanding
You're the one who pulled me
Out of that crash landing
My stunning mystery companion
Right now I can't quite remember
The cause of all my tears
I hear you laughing and somehow
The past just disappears
Maybe you were joking when you said
You'd take me for ten years and no more
Maybe you've had the best of me
But you could take another ten years and be sure
What with all my expectations long abandoned
And a life that just gets more and more demanding
There's no doubt that you're the reason I'm still standing
My stunning mystery companion
