Fighting loneliness......

Fighting loneliness.........

I had a fight with loneliness

due to the absence of friendliness.

It was a big fight

that took place on both day and night.

There was no one to support me

whatever the conditions may be.

I had to fight all alone

and the loneliness pounced at me like a cyclone.

I had no other choice except to surrender

and this made me wonder

if I can ever be free

and given a chance I would flee.

I was looking for a helping hand

or at least a magic wand 

which can pull me out of this sadness

which may push me to madness.

Strangely, I have a seen few,

I thought you will be my friend, won't you?         

Don't quit,the world is calling!

Don't quit,the world is calling! 

Show the world that you can do something,

you can do anything and everything.

Let there be any sort of burden,
just enter the bravest lion's den.
Tame it in its own den
and you will be as mighty as a small pen.
Don't quit,because the world is calling,
even in the fatal conditions when you are falling.
Just say "Yes, I can!"
Let me see if someone can stop you then!      

In the dark........for a friend

         IN THE DARK........
                           ........FOR A FRIEND

I was lying in the dark

still,motionless,lying on the beautiful

lush greens,which appeared dark

because of the setting darkness.

My eyes were wide open

gazing into the sky

looking at those milky white stars.

They appeared amazingly good

and my heart wanted to fly

away to a place unconquered

and a place with plenty of happiness.

Surprisingly,I was floating in the air

looking and searching for the desired place and

I travelled miles and miles

to the east first and the west next.

Alas!I could not find

any place which could satisfy

my heart and there i was,

lonely,travelling around the whole world

but could not find a lovely friend.

There was none not even one

and my heart returned in silence

and took the pain of travelling

back to my body

only to wake me up with a jerk.

My heart rejoined my body

only to find myself

still in the dark woods,

still and motionless

and now lonely and alone,

my heart is weeping for a true friend............!
