An Ode To Love

An Ode To Love

To love,

I waited and waited and waited again

Waited patiently for my dear friend

Hoping to fall into you someday soon

I waited and waited and waited again


Looked up all night for the falling stars

Awaited lifelong for my place in your heart

But then I agonise that you belong to a chosen few

Whereas I belong to everyone, including you


Nirvana came to me of late

When I awoke to evaluate

Perplexed by the nightmare true

The only thing I still did was wait for you


They warned me about the way you strike

I never paid heed or even put up a fight

May be I was a fool to believe in you

'Coz I never thought you would hurt me too


How could you do what you did?

Doesn't it matter how I live?

I thought you were my friend through and through

But then I realise you are friends with only you


I knew life's full of the mysteries you unfold

I knew life itself is in your stronghold

But when I mused over life's discomforting fling

I realised life moves only when your pull its string

The strings you pull makes enchanting euphony most of the time

But the wrong chords you strike are never sublime


Some take my route to find yours

Some take yours to find mine

Almost all squander at the crossway

Few learn from the journey and most get dismayed

Paths may differ, run parallel or twine

But everyone takes a path, no matter whether it’s your or mine


So close yet so far we stand

Almost alike, withal so fanned

May be someday you would see me and yourself as strands

Parts of the ultimate puzzle you are yet to understand

After all it’s not any puzzle I indite about

It’s the puzzle of puzzles which we both can't do without


Peradventure we were never destined to enlace

May be serving our travellers is the only means to embrace

You might fear that I would want you to efface

But effacing love is the only thing I can never ideate


And hence,

I waited and waited and waited again

Waited patiently for my dear friend

Hoping to fall into you someday soon

I waited and waited and waited again. . .

From friendship.
