"...Friends!"

When you are left with no options, You become Friends, the best friends, in fact!

 

With this stretched lips

I grinned

And shouted ‘hello’

And she replied

“Shut up!”

Cheerless, but yes-

I was left

With no option

 

I got mesmerized

By the splendor of that ‘sale’

And rushed into

That shopping precinct

And was dragged out

“Dare not fritter away your money!”

My collar in her hand

I had no option!

 

With that extremism

Of lassitude-

Yes, I declared in my empire!

And I valiantly dozed off…

And got kicked down on the floor

“Get up lazy bone;

You are late for ‘the’ class”

And I had no option!

 

But,

This December-

When gush of wind

Will whisper (Scream, in fact)

“Catch me, if you can…”

With this mocking hilarity…

It will be me

And you will have no option!

 

…When I walk

This lonesome way

You are always missed

I swear!

Not for those laughter

We jointly glued

On People’s face-

Who avowed that:

“You guys are not funny, at all!”

And they had no options!

 

But,

For these bags are heavily

Burdened!

Had you been here,

You would have

Carried…

And I have no option!

 

You are the one with whom

I fear not,

To speak

About every frightening tales

Of life!

You are my best friend;

Other than this-

I have no option!!!

This is so cute!!! I loved the fifth and last verse, and I especially loved the "you have no option" aspect of this. It made me laugh :P It sometimes feels like that with my friends, like we were destined to be friends.... This is just so amazing!!! I hope she loved this!!!

I'm so glad!!! If I tried to write my friends poetry I think they'd try to put me in an insane asylum. Oh well. That's probably where I'll end up anyway :D :D :D :D

A wonderful tribute you have penned here. Very touching. Very sweet. I hope you have sent your dear friend a copy of this. i have a question. every stanza's last line has the word option in it except one that ends with a line that reads:

And you will have no choice!

I was expecting to see the last word there to read option!

why the different wording here?

I loved the write. Very nicely done.

[Sanjeeta Sharma Pokharel "Hridayaninadini"]

Oh- I have changed :) whenever I write, I seldom check it twice and upload it directly- so sometime [often] there are errors. Thank you Nicholas :)

[Tex]

What a marvelous homage and gift. When a friendship grows up with us, it becomes as indelible upon us as ourselves and you captured this perfectly and with a very original approach that I truly, truly enjoyed.
