I want my friends to stay with me

I do not want friends

Coming and going

Likes waves

Touching the shore

Returning back to

Mingle with the ocean

Leaving me

With a broken heart

And a depressed mind

I want my friends

To stay with me

In thick and thin

Rule my heart and mind

Expect

The same from me

We may meet or not

May not be together

In moments of

Happiness and gloom

They should not

Forget me

I should not forget

Them

Maybe we live far

Away

But never forget

Each other

That Moment

She was my

Childhood friend

Together

We had an

Emotional bond

She could not do

Without me

I could not do

Without her

During the holidays

Before the school was

About to reopen

I was playing

In the nearby field

When I saw her

Sitting in a moving bus

Her face saddened

Tears flowing

She waved at me

She looked like

A caged bird

Ready to fly

But there was no sky

Before I could reply

The bus had moved

Leaving me

Shocked and Startled

Later I came to know

Her parents had moved

To another city

After so many years

Whenever I pass

The spot

Where I had

Last seen her

My legs stop

Shooting pain

Arises in the heart

My mind stops working

Till somebody reminds me

To move from there

I cannot forget

That moment

When I last saw her

Always haunts me

It’s a Sunday morning

Birds out of their nests

Flowers blooming large

Many friends still in bed

Having a good rest

No hustling bustling

In the streets

Children

In color uniforms

Missing from the roads

Metro and buses

Sighing in relief

Mummies trying hard

To get their young ones

Out of the beds

They react by saying

Mamma let me sleep

It’s a Sunday morning

A friend is a friend

A friend is a friend,
Out of sight
Is never out of my mind
My dear friends
You all are embedded

Deep in my heart
Your love and concern
Makes me to do
All good
What I am able to do
It warns me not to sway
From the path of
Karma and dishonesty
Make me smile
At times
I do not interact with you
Simply because I know
You understand
My love and affection
My integrity
You can never get
Angry with me
Unknowingly I get busy
In caring new friends
Try to bring them
In my family of friends
In a way
Make them all
Your friend too

I miss something

I miss something

I got everything 

I wished

Still I feel

I miss something

I have a family

To take care of me

I have friends

To help me

And 

Share with me

I have relatives

To make me feel

I am not alone

I have money

For my needs

I have luxuries

To make me feel

Comfortable

Still I feel

Something is lacking

There remains

An unexplainable

Vaccume in my mind

I need somebody

To fulfill it

Till then

I shall always feel

I miss something

Happiness

Happiness

Does not mean

Posessing wealth

Neither does

Physical love

Enjoying with

Friends and family

Is happiness to me

Happiness is not also

Worldly pleasures

To me

Peace and solace

In mind

love in deeds

To do something

Ilove and cherish

Is happiness to me

After Committing a sin

After

Committing a sin

I was living

In great trauma

To my heart and mind

My heart told me

To confess my sin

My mind said

Keep it hidden

Once it is out in open

You shall fall

In the eyes of

The people

You will be labeled

A sinner

I was in a dilemma!

I asked my conscience

What to do?

My conscience

Told me to confess it

If I do not

I will remain a sinner

In my own eyes

Shall Lose

Peace and solace

Always live

With guilt

In heart and mind

I decided to do

What my conscience

Advised

Today

My mind and heart

Are full of

Happiness and peace

I shall not react

I shall not react

To your shouting

My silence says

More than your words

It hurts you

You want me to react

And reply to

What you say

You want to

Satisfy your ego

If I reply

You will try to

Shout me down

A false sense of victory

Shall be seize you

You shall become more

Arrogant

I do not want to see

Your arrogance increasing

It shall make your life

Miserable

I want to see you happy

My silence shall

Hurt your ego

More than it hurts my feeling

Slowly you will learn

What you could not achieve

By anger

I achieved by silence

I am thankful

I am thankful

To all those

Who have hurt me?

Spoken ill about me

Ridiculed me

Tried all possible means

To make my life

Miserable

Let me share it with

All of you

It would not have been

Possible Without you

To make me more

Determined

To speak the truth

Live honestly

My faith in god

Keeps increasing

With every action of

Yours

Does it not mean? I love you

I never send

Flowers to you

Nor did I write any letter

To you

I never spend any time

With you

I never talk about you

But I adore you

Silently admire you

Become restless

At least once in a day

When I do not hear

 From you

See you in my dreams

Pray for your happiness

Do not allow anybody

To speak ill of you

My face shines

When some body

Praises you

Does it not mean?

I love you
