An Ode to Evenings with Friends, A short poem

An Ode to Evenings with Friends

By: Ryan Beodeker

Goodnight to the friends far off my horizon.
Who sail on ships to their very own shores.
I shall think on the day,
we shall be drinking together.
Singing our songs all drunk and amused.

Goodnight to friends who have left and departed.
Who wander alone
all lost and confused.
I shall think on the days,
when we wandered together.
High on that good shit with nothing to do.

Goodnight to the lovers I know and remember.
Who’s beds I’ve frequently perused.
I shall think of the days when we were together
laughing and loving our nights through and through.

So here’s for the nights we shall never remember.
A poem for evenings that ended to soon.
For surely we’ll surely be soon together.
Smoking and drinking beneath the new moon.
