A poem of a good friend.
Wow, my second post and boy does it feel good. I want to my first post of this new blog a special one. While I was digging thru my old computer, I found a poem about a friend Kimchi that I had wrote for over 3 years ago. As I began to read, something stirred within my soul and thought it would an injustice that nobody ever got to read it. So I am dedicating my first post to Kim's poem. I hope you all enjoy it.
Kimchi: An Ode to a great friend.
An Ode to the girl of my dreams.

In my reality, you are my friend, my companion, and my buddy. Yet, in my dreams, you are my lover, my soul mate, and my girl. Why do you stir my emotions so? How can I get so emotional over a girl so far away? This love that I have for you seems so pure and yet so unnatural. Why do I carry such heavy emotions for someone who sees me as a friend? Your whole being is a woven tapestry of beauty that would make the Grecian goddess, Aphrodite display awe. Your simple beauty is ever present due to your grace and sensitivity. Your long dark hair, thick and lustrous, rests neatly upon your shoulders. Your smooth and simple curves are aligned so well upon your tiny frame. Your warm, gentle smile soothes the torrid seas of my heart and soul. Your voice is as soft and mellow as angel harp strings. I am enchanted by your simple poise and charm. Your strength and resilience is amazing. How can someone so dainty can bear the weight of the world on such small shoulders? A lesser woman would be driven insane and yet, you continue to endure. The arrows of scorn from your parents and the impatient desires of men do not belay you from what is important, your self-respect and future. You toil and slave way in your family’s restaurant from dawn to dusk. Your slender arms ache under the weight of heavy trays. Your legs and feet are sore from all the walking. The heat from the kitchen can rival the fires of Hades and yet, you survive. Oh how I wish I could help carry your burden a little. I feel so helpless sometimes for the sheer fact that I am not close to you. I understand, that your heart belongs to another, yet if this was a different time and circumstance, I would love for us to be together. Yet, the Almighty doesn’t give man too much opportunity in the love department. You are in my prayers as well as my thoughts and dreams. I pray that you will keep your good judgment, that you will never leave me alone, and that you will always be my friend. I long for the day we meet face to face. I will introduce you to my world. To see simple beauty of Mother Nature. You could run and frolic in the field like the flower maiden I see in my dreams. To introduce you to my family and to their home cooking. I can’t seem to get you out of my mind, I think about you all-day and everyday. Even thought my love runs deep, I have nothing but the deepest respect for. Your friendship is more valuable than all my emotions are worth. As long as you are in my dreams, you will never be forgotten. Now as I lay myself down, I begin to see you in my eyes and I know it will be a sweet dream.
Goodnight, Kim…
