nothing but friendship

I think this is my biggest scribbling so far…

back in my graduation years, my friend asked me to scribble something about friendship. in a way I had never done before.

now I was always taunted/dared by my friends to scribble on random stuff… like a pencil box, the pencil in the box, the drawing of the Donald duck in the box, the compass which was never used, the small napkin which was used in the box to hold all the content.. a school bag, a name-label pinned to the shirt, cork openers and what not! i scribbled shamelessly on each of these.. raw and lame.. as blatant as it gets…

after reading all that, they told me, I wasn’t capable of scribbling a huge huge huge, mushy mushy, poetically clichéd, grandeur sounding piece.. on a typical poetic subject… I said, “try me!” and they gave me a couple of subjects… one was ‘love’ and the other was ‘water’ I think..

that same week, my other friend asked me to write something on friendship.. and I thought why not. so here goes the humongous, giant, clichéd, lame, but still heart-felt words that I scribbled…

I don’t expect you to read it and even if you do, not without a lunch and tea-break. took a while for me, to get this e-copy from my 6 journal pages.

so here goes a big nothing..

friendship and friends are forever,

His noblest blessing and favor;

one of many gifts; rarest of rare,

we thank him to make life so fair.

forgetting to bless the flowers with a soul,

the chance of a sweetest thing denied;

gifted it to friendship; the pinnacle;

showering gems with elegance personified.

bond begins with unknown unseen countenances;

grows with the joyous n pleasing acquaintances;

so somber the heart and soul, in its absence;

grows fonder n fonder; so much in the presence.

the twilight of comradeship; begins to surge,

brilliance of twinkling stars; ready to merge;

hearts, thoughts n expressions then coalesce;

to accomplish nothing but the simple fragrance.

oozing with delight, begins the journey of friendship;

brightens every moment, guiding through hardship;

sharing the ups and downs, the heavenly solace;

memories of the close moments, come back as roses.

purity of morning dew; on the fresh grass;

and the silken touch of the velvet gaze;

playing puppy reminiscent of innocence;

the grace of sunrise and the sunset’s daze.

the feeling holds your hand, touches your heart;

the warmth to lean on and pick up your friend;

the passionate tenderly love of Motherhood!

o’friendship! what more a word do you need?

like the resting fragrance on hand giving the flower,

the scent of friendship stays around you forever;

feel it, touch it, sense it, always there in the breeze;

the charisma of this emotion is the greatest fetish.

fills the day with colors n absolute pleasantness;

turns the saturnine air into a satin fondness;

makes you rejoice on the divinity on the earth;

pensiveness n dejection, pepped up to sheer mirth.

leaves memorable sandprints in the passage of time;

any cold heart can be touched, by friendship sublime;

a moment of togetherness, cherish and treasure;

recollection of each, ahh! the utmost pleasure.

special is the relationship and the glorious bliss;

even siblings can’t fill in their moments missed;

know not, how time marches together in gratitude,

realize the painful delight, in my heart’s solitude.

what is it that bonds two unacquainted beings?

attachment, making us think of them every moment;

wishing they could be here, sharing every moment;

wishing they would be here, when we need them the most.

the silken thread of friendship binds two hearts;

assures you there is always someone to rely on;

a life long gem to be preserved and polished;

you know it’ll be there till eternity unfolds.

when the comforting grace begins to diminish;

and the soothing caress seems to be missing;

melancholy taking its toll, a friend is all you need;

momentarily there is none! that is agony indeed.

circumstantial pettiness, rise their necessary heads;

every friendship is trialed through minor menaces;

deep in you, you know the fragrance will call you;

entire act is just to re-realize the simple value.

giving its fair share in the delightful melodrama;

flourishing autumn of togetherness huddles;

exaggerated sweetness of joy after a trauma;

as friends exult in their ever loving cuddles.

when you need someone to talk to, to lean on;

a presence of the caring shoulder, you keen on;

when you feel alone, the spirits need a lift;

you know you have one; its ever so swift.

when you know, someone’s there to travel with you;

obstacles diminish on the way; sorrows then smile;

a gentle touch of comfort, drives away all worries;

golden moments, etched on as the timeless memories.

amazing is the healing power in the affection;

distances depression, better than the best – time;

majestic comforting touch of your dear friend;

amazing granule and aspect of the golden marble.

a delicacy is not a delicacy, which lacks some spice;

and is friendship dull, with no mischief n insanity;

down the line you always are the genuine friend;

little forgetfulness, lots of humor, adds to the beauty.

nothing can dampen it, it’ll keep blossoming;

refreshes the soul and lends the awesome swing;

we can bask in its glory and the jubilant sunshine;

a scene of playful lambs in tree shade – always fine.

in the fast paced life, where life moves so swiftly;

we miss affectionate embracing moments bitterly;

value of the time spent with loved ones, invaluable;

momentous pleasure is in friendship – the royal jewel.

time and time again, god has shown us the way;

call them Gandhi, or call them mother Teresa;

he sent them all; he sent gautam, he sent jesus;

and all of this for just a pure message for us.

flashing waves of friendship give us reasons to smile;

nostalgic yesteryear memoirs give us reasons to smile;

begins with gratitude n liking, roots that can be pulled up;

novelty becomes part n parcel of life – and first nature.

fabulous is the fantastic felicity.

rapturous is the rhapsodic raceme.

impinging is the iconic identikit.

ebullient is the excellent ecstasy.

nonchalant is the nice nocturne.

dashing is the dramatic dazzlement.

soothing is the solacing sanctity.

halcyon is the hugging harmony.

intimate is the immaculate inflorescence.

perfect is the praiseworthy premiership.

no matter what expansive words you use;

to describe the caliber of this emotion;

it is nothing but a simple heartfelt feeling;

an incomparable delight, a class of its own!

thousand words have put down a description;

the feeling, the touch, and the emotion;

each day brings a new experience to our liking;

that’s what makes this fairy tale, so striking.

men are mortal, but their ideas are immortal;

oceans of flowers depart, fragrance stays on;

time leaves us, eternity accompanies forever;

friends come and go, but a friendship stays.

infinite emotions attached, each moisten the eyes;

you know the intensity, when you experience realize;

there’s lot more to friendship; words can never forward;

lots more to it, best conveyed when just left unsaid…

o’lord, no matter what thou hath in store for me, in life’s haze;

always give me the strength to keep the smile on my friend’s;

here’s all my prayers dedicated to thee; to bless my friends;

joy and thousand reasons to smile, that’s all I ask for them.
