Dedication to a Friend

When the aggravation of this world seems all too much,
And your torrential thoughts are defeating your back,
If your aspirations and dreams have lost their clutch,
And you believe Aphrodite’s palace is little more than a shack,
Have faith dear friend,
My promise to you is that this is not the end,
Your life will be filled with mystery & magic,
The vile & fantastic,
Silver dancing shoes
Await your every move,
The macabre and the strange
Ready to mesmerise your brain,
The euphoric flow of love that will take you high with pleasure,
May leave you back to earth at its leisure,
Whatever may come, cliché, “Whatever will be, will be”,
You forever have a friend in me,
Whoever or wherever I may be,
I will be there with you to become inebriated on whisky.
