Friends

Standing by you during all odds,
Emotive help saving from frauds,
What are real friends for?

Sharing your big and small joys,
Exchanging gifts and all toys,
What else are friends for?

Bearing your poetic endeavour,
Out of way doing great favour,
What are dear friends for?

Turning your evenings bright,
Yet managing stay out of sight,
Why do they make you crave?

With betrayed emotions you will spy,
Losing trust is not a far off cry,
Why do they break up?

With humour and wit you may win a heart,
Closer hugs enough to give a start,
What if souls are one? 

The Thrill
Can grill,
The romance
Can stance,
Ethereal delight,
Losing fright,
Pure ecstasy!


Written on 12/7/14 purely out of emotions

A nicely wrote poem with feeling. What would we be without emotions? Some people would say better off, but I would say we are that which we feel in our hearts. Well done, Upma. Regards, Colin.

People are very fickle. That is what I have found out in life. They don't stick with jobs, they don't stick with friends, they don't even stick with poetry sites. I am like old faithful. I stick with everything. Can't even throw stuff away. Probably the reason I am still married. hahaha. well, I have much to do and it's now midnight. My days just never seem to have enough hours in them. Good night, dearie!

Yes, friends indeed are an ethereal delight. I really enjoy my friends so much and don't understand when they just drift away!! But the ones that stay loyal forever are more precious than gold.

- Good friends are angels who lift us up when our wings have forgotten what it's like to fly. - The one who neglect their old friends for new risk losing them both. - Wish you a nice weekend, Dr. Upma ! - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
