Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

If Today Is Friday

If today is Friday, joy's on stage
Emerging from feeble phase
Roaming happily all day
For a freedom filled weekend
When family reigns supreme
Seeking relief from drudgery.

If today is Friday, thrill's on horizon
Determined to have fun 
Showing off a budding date 
Conversing in crowded settings
With evening made of dreams,
Stealing kisses with every sip.

If today is Friday, all is worry free
With vibes made of pleasantries
And eyes searching happy places
Finding ephemeral feelings
Ringing inner bells, saying all is well. 

If today is Friday, it writes own lyrics
In special themes of merry verses
Composing fervent music
Of romantic rhythm and melodies
Fending off pensive memories.

If today is Friday, opulent smiles
Dance the night till day break
Cheering newfound friendships
Looking forward to next weekend
Holding treasures gained
Reminiscing transitory moments.
