TWO FRIENDS

"Death-you are so good a friend
You drop in uninvited.
Life-you are so good a companion,
Its nice to walk with you.

Death-you are so good a reliever,
You redeem all from pain.
Life-you are so loyal an ally,
You make me feel worthy.

Death - I appreciate you -
You are impartial.
Life - I love you-
You make men out of mud. "
These were Vishu's lines.Shweta read them over and over,many times a day,pondering ,on them or Vishu one couldn't say.

You captivate a reader's attention with the simplest of vocab... you spin magic with words. :)

Pranav Kumar V said…
Death, you hit me so hard
I know you're for real
Life, you cut me so smooth
I know not, you're surreal

Life you fly me so high
I'm floating in mid-air
Death, you put me so low
I'm six-feet under with no room to spare

WOW!! These friends are too darn cool!! Ain't they?? Life is merely an illusion, death is the reality. Lol!!

See you when I see you...
Anwesa said…

@divya,
life n death r 2 frnds of ours,1 of wich remains wid us at all times,we can either live or die.
thanx 4 d comments..
Anwesa said…
@pranav kumar v,
liked ur verse,but life is so vast dat it the thin lines between real n unreal fade out sometimes,n death so profound that its nothing but real.thanx 4 d comments..
Abhishek Behera said…
profound.

reading this mind wandered a bit... the beginning and end always seem the same - say for example sunset and sunrise, the calm before storm - after storm.

p.s.:they say early bird catches the worm. but what if the worm was late? - my excuse for late comments :)
Aneesh said…
Perfect!

I like the words
"Death - I appreciate you -
You are impartial"
So true and very well written.
:)

excellent brilliant marvellous captivative thoughtful great....

but they are all to less to describe your poetry these days... it blows me away...!! :)

life and death, two friends... superb...(even that is less!!)
loved it... sort of a ying and yang combination... one cant exist without the other!! :)
its beautiful in its simplicity. Its giving expressions to everybody's thoughts.

its the kind of dark poetry which makes you smile at its sheer ingenuity!!
RiverSoul said…
A beautiful work.

Cяystal said…
Your first attempts can't be writen by me even if I make ten attempts =P

Death..and life..friends..hah..I like the imagination.
But do you really think Death can redeem pain?

No contradiction thr..right?

Suresh Kumar said…
Nice Poem.
Yeah Death s a friend who gives a suprise visit and just takes you along with him away from other friends.
And sure, Life s a sweet companion who may walk away from you at any time and never return. So make the best use of him.

Anwesa said…

thanx..welcome back here..keep blogging
Kartz said…
Ok... So here's where it started...

Indeed, death is impartial. But do you really think life is an ally...? (No, I am not a morbid cynic.)

Death is a certainty... You enjoy the ride of life till death comes knocking. At that time life is not your ally. It submits to death...

Liked the underlying philosophy...

Peace.
Anwesa said…
@kartz,
life's always an ally coz it allows u 2 do things which can leave a mark on the world even after death grips one's lyf.
thanx 4 visiting!!
Kartz said…
Indeed. That's always there.

As I said, I liked the underling philosophy...

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

A C R O S T I C

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above. S cuttling through untrodden paths, T he narrow bylanes,not a soul around, I was indeed lost - Drops of rain C hased me - but Ahoy! a way was found.

PRE-ANNIVERSARY INSANITY

MY LIFE AND TIMES will be a year old on 26th of this month. Blogging has been my greatest pleasure since then. I would like to thank my countless (?) readers who have added to my experience on bloggerville. A huge thank you to all of you ! Why I blog ? #It’s a good pastime (lol...I guess it’s a lot more) #I get to read some real good posts (and take cues) #I get to read some crap posts too( no offence meant-actually they enhance my positive self esteem :D) #My friends and relatives see me in a new light here ( After all, now they know that I’v some good qualities too :D ) #I made some good blogger friends with whom I can have fun. I’m sure many of my loyal readers are still reading. For them, there will be a treat on the D-day. ( Don’t raise your expectations sky high-its just a post - no awards/interviews/guest posts ). But I’ll give my best to fill your time with a good read. I was turning the pages of my personal diary today and I found this. This is for you, my dearest blog (my
