Two Friends

Two friends

Closed in the closets

For many a years,

Fearing the fantasies

And living the fears,

Taking two pills

Day and night,

To stop the pain

And look alright.

But neither does wall

Nor the windows,

Come and help

The unmarried widows...

One for the pain

Of the bloody friend,

Who stabs each moment

Since the end…

Other for the pain

Of the widow’s white,

Who go to the heaven

Alone in the light…

Both are lonely…

To mention only.

The suffering unmeasured

Is what they treasured…

Behind the bars

The two are trapped,

First for loving

Whom the second kidnapped.

Loving someone

Was never a crime…

If only

Their hearts did rhyme.

Why then the red one

Has no hearing?

Why isn’t his life

Accepted for sharing?

The desolate heart

Heartlessly shattered,

Endlessly ending

His love once flattered.

The mighty soul

With courage not dead,

Looks upon the heart

With mercy not fled.

The red river besides,

From the eyes of a friend,

Couldn’t stop the other

To come and mend…

One dark night

The soul took over,

The heart went underground…

Lower and lower….

The calm white one,

As he appears on surface,

Deep down has a heart

Burning in the furnace.

Heart keeps blowing

The soul yet smiles,

But the pain of the soul

Can’t be seen in my eyes…
