Tahera Mannan Poet Free verse

Friends Lovers and Mates

My friend, my lover
My mate
Let me rest
Myself beside you
    Hold my hand
    Be my friend
    And lead me on
    The right path
Hold my body
And be my lover
And give  peace
To my body and soul
    Hold my soul
    Oh my mate
    And cease me
    From going astray
Let us venture
Into this world
Together
You and me
    Let us share
    Tears and smile
    Give me your pain
    And you take mine
Let us bring up
A small being
Hand in hand
Over ups and downs
    Let us see in her
    Ourselves
    With tears of joy
    And smiles of pain
Let us be
Friends and lovers
You and me
Mate forever.
