It all happened at the air port lounge

It all happened

At the air port lounge

I was searching

For a paper

She was searching

For a pen

I saw sheets of paper

In her hand

She saw two pens

Tucked in my shirt

She moved towards me

I moved towards her

Both smiled

At each other

Exchanged

The paper and pen

I thanked her

She thanked me

I gave her

My visiting card

She gave her

Contact number

We have not met

Thereafter

But in our heart’s

We are Good friends

For ever

Every day when I meet her

Every day

When I meet her

Our eyes meet to

Our thoughts are

In unison

Each other knows

What the other

Is thinking

Both of us

Chat together

Smile together

Laugh together

When we depart

I leave

My soul with her

She keeps mine

But still we are only

Good friends

Living life together

Never comes

In our mind

Friendship is like a bird

Friendship

Is like a bird

Trust is the body

The feathers are friends

New feathers keep

Coming

Many keep shedding

Old friends turn into

Body parts

Leave the world

Only with death

More the warmth

More the trust

Colorful it looks

Sweetly it chirps

Together in a flock

They dance and rock

Friends came in my life

Friends 

Came in my life

Friends 

Went out of my life

Some left the world

Some still live

Both times

My heart has pained

Life looks strange

Memories keep

Boggling my mind

Friends,friendship,

Dr.Rajendra Tela,Nirantar

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

Guilt Complex

He was my closest friend

From childhood

Shared good and bad time

Together

Always wanted me

To reach greater heights

Started disapproving

The ways and means

I used to fulfill my dreams

My failures created doubts

For him in my mind

Started blaming him

For what I could not achieve

Held him responsible

For all my failures

Our friendship fell apart

I had lost someone

Who was my life’s part?

Time passed

I faced defeat after defeat

My progress halted,

Growth retorted

Until I realized

I was not doing the right

Remembered

What my lost friend

Had advised

Unwillingly did,

What he had suggested

Changed 

My ways and means

Started tasting

Success after success

My dreams were fulfilled

But kept suffering

From the crime

I had committed

I had doubted

My friend’s integrity

Never cared for his

Love and sincerity

The guilt complex

Never allowed me 

To live happily

I had lost courage 

To face him

For my wrong doings

Tears keep coming 

To the eyes

I feel all my achievements

Are tainted and farce

How to win him back ?

Is now my goal

He loved beauty

He loved beauty

Impressed  
Every lady he met 

His sweet tongue

Suave manners

Won him 
Lot of friends regularly

When time came 
For him to marry

He could not decide

Who his life partner 

Should be?

He kept on promising

Left every lady waiting

Only to find

All of them 
Decided to marry

Somebody else

Leaving him lonely

It was too late

From him to realize

Friends can be many

You can 
Laugh and make merry

Heart can be given to

One and only
He

Remained a bachelor

Throughout his life

Lived in old memories

I did not know her

I did not know her

She did not know me

Something was common

Between us

That made it possible

To share few moments

Of ours

Respected each other

Equally

Time passed by

Sharing increased

Started

Knowing  each other

More profoundly

Respected each other

Mutually

We are now friends

With pure relationship

I care for her

She cares for me

Share our thoughts

With dignity

Memory Brings Back My Old Friends To Me

Memory

Brings back

My old friends

To me

I can hear them

Talking to me

Their laughter

Enthralls me

Their advice

Encourages me

I feel they are sitting

Very close to me

I feel happy

My mind full of

Peace

I completely forget

They had died

Long ago

Thinking about them

Makes me nostalgic

Revives good time

I had spent with them

Reduces my agony

And loneliness

For a while

My neighbour

He is my neighbour

I am his neighbour

We are friends

To each other

He helps me

I listen to him

He is kind to me

I spent time with him

He cares for for me

I eat with him

We never question

Who

Does more for whom ?

More than neighbours

We are brothers

Living apart

Still together
