solitude..

With deep seated thoughts,

loneliest night of the week,

vivid mental images,

I walked an empty street.

Dark were the shadows,

deserted were the ways,

my mind so cryptic,

I was just cursing those days.

Grim rainy weather,

I felt as if I am done,

I pinched my right arm,

my feelings were so numb.

The cloudburst suddenly poured,

crushed with grief and sorrow,

I looked in the mirror,

only to see the dark tomorrow.

A chill went through my body,

I thought of the moment again,

I was so heart broken,

dejected, dismal, insane.

pause for a thought..

I think of the frail past,

those gloomy days,

those tarnished nights,

clouded, dim, overcast.

I have to go Everest heights,

have to win some serious fights,

need a direction, I know my aim,

thoughtful but somewhat insane.

I foresee the future,

stand alone in the path,

forlorn and desolate,

abandoned apart.

A ray of hope,

enlightens my heart,

when I think, I live for the present,

I forget the future, I forget the past.

look back..

I searched the whole world for a friend

only to find in the end,

that the person I was trying to locate

was my soul mate.

I couldn’t see because I was too blind

that this person I was trying to find,

was right there in front of me

a truer friend there never could be.

Because we sometimes don’t at first appreciate

how valuable our friends are,

lets not wait to search the globe

when all the while we have the best,

or until our eyes are opened

when our friendships put to test.
