The Everlasting Soulmates
I remember not since when I made friendship with extreme solitude
Was it my own choice or was I compelled to?
Neither I complained to my destiny
nor I blamed those who caused me agony,
I forgave them, never turned back, I proceeded
accepting my ill fate, embraced life 'as it is' with a positive attitude.
I'm nostalgic today, searching for a solitaire
amidst the rubble of my destruction,
I find all are not trash,few precious stones I see and admire
who kindled my life with fire of hope, prosperity and celebration.
They filled my crystal glass with expensive french red wine,
spent a few moments of joy,shared grieves of mine.
They came to cease my tempest I bore in my heart
and drove me to a meadow of tranquility to gear my life for a new start
I tried not to tie them forever with a strong silken thread,
'Cause I feared I'll loose them if the knot is too tight, it'll break
So i bound them with no bondage that makes the relationship strain,
I preferred to keep their memory in heart and cherish as first monsoon rain.
We departed one day with heavy heart, leaving precious memories for each other
I couldn't find a suitable name for these relationships that are above all other
worldly relationships that demands more than they give.
Those great souls demanded no price, only they inspired me to live.
I bless them with all my gratitude for they came to my life
as heavenly blessings to fill my empty cup and remove my darkness with their light.
