'A Best Friend' .... The best friend??


For a long time in my life,
I didn't have a best friend.
But then I met someone,
who wanted to be together till the end.

Soon casual calls turned to hourly chats
with apparently no topic at all.
And intellectual jokes turned to
silly limericks like 'humpty dumpty sat on a wall.'

Every IM brought a pair of smiles
and long hours ran off in seconds.
But milk does turn sour after a while.
And all good things must come to an end.

The friendship ended in misconceptions
and she took an oath to never look back.
I had lost my best friend.
Was it less than a heart attack?

She probably has a better life now
with some fancy new best friend.
But I still look for answers...
Can broken pottery be mend?

But life stops for none.
What's been done is done.
The dark night will surely pass
and there will be a new bright sun.

Will this sun bring along new friends
one of whom, someday, I could call my best?
Will there be many to choose from?
Is this yet another one of life's tests?

Do I really want a new best friend?
The answers to this I seek.
Does 'THE BEST FRIEND' really even exists?
Can she be found in spite of the chances bleak?

Are best friends even that important?
Do they really take us far?
Today I stand 'best-friend-less'
Do I really like the way things are?

I want to be nobody's best friend
and none to be mine.
'Coz the last time a best friend & I broke up
letting her go sure took a lot of time.

The unforgettable tale of Titanic


Titanic - The ship of dreams
The ship many thought was unsinkable
The safest ship it seemed
Embarking on its maiden journey,All set to rumble

Holding 1520 souls on board
It set out for America's gate
But fate had something else in hold
Unknown misery laid dormant,in wait

Two people from completely different backgrounds
leading very different lives
With their fates soon to be intertwined
Set their feet on board for an unforgettable voyage

Rose DeWitt Bukater soon to be Rose Hockley
returning to America in an invisible cage
bounded in unseen chains of misery
Soon to be caged forever by a forced marriage

Jack Dawson,A man poor monetarily but a king at heart
Came to ride on the waves of the Atlantic
riding on the waves of fate
A vagabond,with another home he was happily parting

The cupid is known to strike unexpectedly,this was an example.
A bird finally found her wings and broke the cage
and flew around with her lover on the ship unsinkable
And then,fate's true cards were shown......

Titanic was struck by a mountain of ice
The wounded ship wouldn't stay afloat for long
The engines stopped roaring and to be heard were insane cries
Courage made way for cowardice,drowned in icy fear were men strong.

Titanic sank to the floor of the Atlantic
and so did thousands of men.
Over was the story that just started
Jack died too...and Rose mourned

But she was rescued just in time
Carpathia arrived and some lucky ones were saved
The ill-fated night was over and there was sunshine
But still thousands lay on the ocean floor dead

Though Jack and Rose couldn't stay together for long
But Jack did gave her a reason to have a fresh start
and his memories shall remain in her heart forever
Just as Titanic's memories shall remain in our hearts.
