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.
