chats, friend, friend-in-need, friendship, laughs, maggi-moments, Need, Paraprosdokian, selfish, stability, tears, understand, whispers
That night when U wanted stability, relief
U kept me awake & drew the needed grace
The required pace, some laughs, much peace
Through me, U quietened your storming tears
And Strengthened in love, your failing belief
The void was filled, that had been created when
someone else had sucked your Soul’s nectar
Your empty self, now hydrated, refilled
U felt more alive, recharged, much better
And then U returned to the din of Your world
Rejecting the calm that my giggles
emanated from Ur now tranquil smiles
Those in-between maggi moments, mad chats
And excited whispers once in a while
All forgotten, wiped clean from ur requirement
U walked away Self Immersed,
Eyes closed, relaxed, shut in bliss, self-contentment.
“Its Okay, I understand”, was all I could muster
& added, “I am always there as the good friend, whenever U need..”
And U too, proved truly, the friend who was The Friend In Need indeed!
*The last 2 lines are actually pun to each other.. & the last one thus gets ironical.. I guess, it could be included in the list of Paraprosdokians*.
Dedicated to a selfish, self-centered, calculative, manipulative once upon a time ‘friend’. Read more at ~

Kalpana, if not for you and all the others, who are here , there, everywhere, holding my hand, not letting me drown, i would have sunk and frozen in the cold arctic winds I have been thrown into, so that I might die of Hypothermia if nothing else. I have to survive, I will have to.. if not for myself.. I will do it for you.

A wonderful poem…indeed. Very easy to relate to !!
I guess most of us have encountered such a ‘friend in need’….always in need. A friendship where your shoulder is always used to cry on. ……
But never turning around to ask…how are YOU doing my friend ?
Beautiful work Purvi !!

Excellent sensible critique from you, lady! Purvi’s Purple Petals, I understand your stuff previous to this too and you are just too fantastic. I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you’re saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it wise. I can not wait to read much more from you. This is really a tremendous. And for this, to quote :
Arnold Bennett~ It is well when judging a friend to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
