Happy Friendship Day!

To my dearest friend.

All I wanted was a love I knew,
A silent plea my throat couldn’t push through.
A fool, was I? To think a doctor’s art,
Could suture up the hollow in my heart.

I craved a pill for wanting to be loved,
Or just to give my own, wild and unproved.
To someone with a smile of sunlit grace,
The way my grandma had lit her gentle face.

Miserable, was I? In hopes decline,
To see their science fail this soul of mine.
Delusional, was I? In the darkened thought,
To think the right to end was mine to sought.

Then, through the chaos, like a clearing sky,
An instinct born of truth commanded, “Try”.
A feeling as natural as birth,
Like how a new born finds its way to earth.

Crazy, was I? Or crazy are we?
For you to call me friend and set me free.
You crossed the gap of rank and time’s long reach,
To offer lessons that no book can teach.

Happy, was I? With you by my side,
Hoping it would last this Earth’s wide.
But clearer, you could see ahead,
The sharper, necessary pain instead.

You knew the path to peace was paved with glass,
And that my former suffering would pass
Just to be replaced by struggles fire,
A holy pain, a virtuous desire.

So, crazy, am I? To welcome this new ache?
To bear this trail for freedoms sacred sake?

I walk the path your quite wisdom laid,
A map of scars, imperfectly displayed.
You gently guide me back when I would stray,
For my love’s sake, this is the price I pay.

My love for you?

My heart could bear a thousand mountains weight,
And call the crushing gravity my fate.
My eyes could weep a hundred oceans wide,
And find a strange, new comfort in the tide.

Yet, I can’t break this worldly, binding chain,
A simple task that brings unending pain.
For you are the reason I would want to flee,
And you are the anchor holding me from the sea.

If gratitude was measured in my days,
A thousand lifetimes couldn’t speak my praise.
If I could wish you health, in prayerful prose,
A zillion letters to Krishna I could compose.

Sometimes I wish you were a boy my age,
And we were starting on the very same page,
To share the laughter and to bear the strife,
And walk beside you for the rest of my life.

But no, that is a child’s fleeting plea,
My deeper prayer asks simply to be free.


For now, until that dawn, I will simply say,
My love and gratitude I send your way,
For this rare gift, for being the light and so much more
My dearest friend, Happy Friendship Day!

- From a heart more hopeful than it was before

Love seems to hurt whether you have it or strive for it. It is incomprehensible until you are in it, where it becomes only unfathomable.
No one truly knows what it is, yet when we are in love we think we have all the answers. We do not!
Love happens only when you cannot see it coming, of that i am sure, but can we not say the same of friendship too? What makes a friendship isnt a recipe anyone can follow and just like love it is as surprising as it can be wonderful.
Best of luck on your journey.

It sure comes and goes unannounced.

This is a beautiful write, straight from the heart…. we all need a good honest friend in our lives…and when that friend frees himself and disappears, our pain is our prison and we struggle to get out to see our path forward, but with great struggle….thank you for sharing….
Warmly, B🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

To have just one good friend turns a human being into a millionaire. Your words re-create my meaning into even more than I was able to say. Your final phrase says even more than it looks..

You're not only a fine poet but a very fortunate human being.
