FRIEND??

(The poem was written around 3 years back when I had a big fight with my friend and we never spoke for 1.5 months! Posting it again after request from another friend!!)

Words, the music I heard from you,
Look, the most protective cover I had,
Does it had to shine and wane?
Can’t I come out of this bane?

The hatred, which comes without words,
The stare that makes heart stone,
To be in company, yet alone.
To be with mates, yet not you.

Let the sun turn ice cold,
Let the moon turn blood red;
Let seas freeze; mountains crumble;
For my friend turned me away

To walk solemnly through life,
To reach my end without your company.
O! Friend hear forth my words,
“Thou hath lost me.”

Let the sun turn ice cold,
Let the moon turn blood red;
Let seas freeze; mountains crumble;
For my friend turned me away.

I pity you; you angry me;
I loved you; you hate me;
You shall regret and feel ashamed,
But have no remorse for you had me.

Indebted perpetually

A flickering flame,
A dying battle
And a lost soul
Was all that remained in me.

Thoughts obscured,
Ideals violated
And morality loosened
Made life a living hell.

Hope - a farmer’s dream,
Life - a donkey’s burden,
Ambition – a poet’s banter
And I – a speck of dirt
Until they found
The remains of my long lost soul.

Taking me along with them,
Talking sense into me,
And feeding in the fuel
For the fire in me to burn again.

Life – a rebirth,
Pain – a memento,
Dream – an inspiration,
And thoughts a new hope.

Hope – a lighthouse
To cross the sea of life,
And ready to face the tides of misery
Over the boat of self assurance.

Despair to confidence,
Pain to power,
Dope to hope,
And from death to redemption.

To every life who trusted on me,
To every mate who kindled me,
And made me bear the mammoth responsibility,
Am indebted perpetually!


(Truly indebted to a whole lot of friends who were with me during my distressed times as well as happy times, helped me, encouraged me, inspired me and set an example for me... This is for all of them!! :))

நண்பேன் டா!! (My Friend!!)

Just a small idea that stuck me... Dedicated to all my friends!! :D

பெயரை உரைத்தேன் நேரில் வந்தாய் - மறுகணமே;
துயரம் என்றேன் கை கொடுத்தாய் - உதவிக்கு;
கவலை என்றேன் தோள் கொடுத்தாய் - அழுவதற்கு;
உதவி கேட்டேன் உயிரை தந்தான் - என் நண்பன்!!

English translation:

I called your name and u appeared before me - Immediately;
When i was in sorrow u gave me a hand - To help;
When i was down u gave me a shoulder - To cry;
When i asked for a help u gave your life - My friend!!
