A Day Will Come

A day will come when happiness will engulf me
And kick aside all the suffocating despair.
I will smile once again and feel the warmth of love
All my buried euphoria will surface and lie bare.

A day will come when my eyes won't cry
I will be freed from all the pain.
A day will come when all the troubles would vanish
And I'll be drenched in the sanctity of the autumn rain.

A day will come when my eyes will only see the truth
Unfogged by the thick, ugly clouds of convincing lies.
A day will come when they will be able to differentiate
The blood-sucking wasps from the serene butterflies.

A day will come when I'll stop cursing myself
And accept all my billion flaws with a smile.
A day will come when I'll accept myself being unique
I'll trust my strength and not behave docile.

A day will come when I'll stop looking for the dead
Instead, search for the ones having a life.
A day will come when I'll get sensitive towards pain
And stop hurting myself oftenly with a brute knife.

I'll stop shedding the tears from the eyes of my blind soul
On that day which I'm destined to see.
All my unspoken dreams and secret wishes will be fulfilled
On that very day when I'll get kissed by the glee.

I know that day isn't very far
When I'll no more be the one to bear every blame,
When I'll swim naked in the pool of joy
And I will strip all of my shame.

I will relish the taste of fair victory
And don't end up ruining every task with a sigh.
I will be recognized and loved by everybody.
A day will come when I'll die.

Regaining Splendour

My soul was broken
Like it was some glass.
I knew I was dying
My end was approaching fast.

I tried to save myself
But I failed all the time.
Nobody neared me to tell
Even my life was worthwhile.

I meandered alone in darkness
Walked barefooted on thorns.
The sun of my life was setting,
I could never see any more dawns.

I had lost all hopes
I knew I wouldn't survive.
Even if I tried my best
My weak pulses I couldn't revive.

So, I submitted myself to the agony
Which hastily pulled me to death.
But suddenly I felt your hand catch mine
While I almost breathed my last breath.

You then carried me to safety
And nursed me till I was fine.
You smiled when I slowly recovered
As if you were a brother of mine.

You made sure I healed perfectly
And my limbs grew strong.
You tried to turn me into a man
Who could fight all the wrongs.

You treated me with that love
Whose flavour I had completely forgotten.
And relentlessly tried to make me believe
That my existence wasn't rotten.

You assembled all my broken shards
Despite it cut your flesh.
You never complained against my follies
And told me to start it all afresh.

You always stood by my side
And never let me fall.
However early or late it would be
You responded to my every call.

I can never thank the God enough
For blessing me with a friend like you.
You are smart, honest and affable
I know our friendship is true.

Now I thank you for stepping into my life
And feeding me love and affection,
For patiently listening to all my qualms
And rescuing me from the hold of dejection.

Thank you for tearing that transparent veil
Within which I suffocated profusely.
For teaching me how to smile and laugh
And lead a life gaily.

I swear I can feel that change in me
Which you always wanted to induce.
I'm regaining my old cheerful self again
I can feel my pessimism diffuse.

I promise I'll forever be loyal to you
Even if my life is at stake.
I love you more than you can imagine
To you, I will never be fake.

This is the least I can do for someone
Who hugged me when I was all alone.
I can write hundred more poems on that love
Which a stranger like him, on me, had shown.



I sincerely thank you for being a brother to me in literal sense. Now I can't imagine a life without you. Your jokes, friendly banters, teasing, shouting and affection have made you one of the most special persons to me. May we be friends forever and never part in any circumstance. Amen.

Lies

I struggled to wake up
My mind was held hostage in fake dreams.
I can swear I wasn't very happy there
Even in that sumptuous sweetness I could hear my screams.

The world seemed so perfect
All green, calm and serene.
There were only friends around
And none of them looked mean.

There was only laughter, joy and mirth
Friendly banters and poking was what I saw.
Of true love and honest friendship, there wasn't any dearth
The affection hung in the air was certainly not raw.

But soon the pain of reality punctured this fantasy
I knew I was surely dreaming.
In no way people can be so truthful and sincere
That in any candid acceptance they don't figure any double-meaning.

I wanted to escape from that vision
It hurt to see all that deceiving idealness.
The calmness of that love tried to rope me
And convince me eventually that reality is senseless.

But I finally managed to open my eyes to the real misery
And the images of all people I knew flashed across my mind.
Their smiling and presentable faces was what I imagined
Who was actually faithful to you was so hard to find.

At one time you could be adored by someone to limits
At another time you could be declared boring and strange.
You could suffer hatred in return of showcasing true love
And end up decoding unsuccessfully, why so frequently times change.

No relationship today in this world is pure.
It is adulterated with selfish motives and deceit.
If hating somebody is considered as your own loss
Then loving somebody is also your defeat.

I don't know who all are my people,
Who truly love me and value me as one precious gem.
At-times friendship may seem to appear flawless like a silk cloth
But in reality there are many lies concealed in its hem.

I pray my world of dreams becomes my world of reality
So that there is a final end to my everyday confusion.
My people remain loyal and real to me, no matter what,
And with time, the mutual promise of friendship does not dissolve into an illusion.
