Love Poem: Friendship

Friendship

Is friendship so shallow
that a word could dent
its body twice deeply, 

so not even a blemish 
could then show and release

imagining the dig far more
than a surface gouge, but a mortal wound, 
deep as the shallow heart is above all true depth of
loving mystery?

I think not! For the friendly
heart will never fester, what
the mind will not entertain – 

not a word, not a phrase
not a volume could true
friendship maim!
