THE FRIEND AFTER MY HEART!

 

By Sai Padma Murthy, Vijayanagaram, India

 

 

          You never know until you try

                        What you really meant to me    

                        What I am to you

                        What we can b e when we are together

                        When you can break the silence

                        Just say “I believe you”

                        Which is more precious to me than love?

 

        I am lost without you

                        In this world of calculations

                        Quaint amidst chaos...

                        Searching for you like a shadow

                        Like a child in a carnival

                        Preserved like an antique

                        Which no body wants to take home

 

        I always look for you..

                        Are you there for me or not?

                        I know you, yet Checking 

                        Over my shoulder of responsibilities

                        My untold inhibitions and fears

                        Hidden deeply in my heart’s closet

                        Which you only can wipe-off with just a shrug..

 

 

        I am waiting for you forever

                        In the light and darkness of life

                        In my automatic routine things

                        I See you whenever and wherever

                        Similar to a ray of hope

                        I always hope to come true

                        Why I’m never tired of waiting?

 

 

        Are you tired of trying? ..

       Well you never know until you try..

 

 

 

                        Introspection

 

 

                   Walking thru shadows

                   Numb mind and thoughts freezed

                   Wry smile at the corner of lips,

                   Remember the day when you left me forever..

 

                  

                   Trees are listening

                   Nodding their heads with devotion

                   As if they are feeling my pain,

                   Gives me solace which humans can’t give

 

 

                   Creek of the porch gate

                   Hum of the curtain saying it’s all over

                   Hurried breeze to take my tear away,

                   Saying I am not alone….

         

 

                   Surprised why I feel?

                   When I have you in and with my soul,

                   But... believe me

                   You will never go if you look back once...
