A poem dedicated to a good friend...
TO A FRIEND...



Travelling Through Life Am I
Looking For Something, That
Which Even I Cannot Define.
The Search Is Not Easy
Finding, Losing, Hoping, Leaving, Decieving,
All I'm Going Through, Searching
For What ? I Want To Know
Not Even Knowing That, Which
I Wanted To Know
And Then I Met You , My Friend …

No ! You Were Not ' The One '
That I Was Searching For
But To All My Dimensions, You
Added Yet One More Facet, You
My Very Own Personal Socrates.
Always Saying " Define ! "
Always Admitting That You
"Only Know That You Don’t Know".
My Very Own Personal Socrates
Asking Me " Why ? ", And Then
" Why Not ? ", It Is True
Life Is More Amazing With You.

Yes ! You Are Not Perfect
You Were Not Made To Order
According To Few Set, Accepted Norms
Nor Do You Follow Laid Down Rules
You Are Very Much Your Own
Person , And Not A Thing,
Not To Be Posessed , Not Ever,
To Be Troubled By Problems , No !
It Would Be Difficult. To Get You
Involved In Peoples' Lives.

You Observe And You Define,
You Know That You Do Not Know.
Your Laughter And Your Ready Smile,
So Complete , In Itself , So Pure ,
So Real , You Jolt Me Out
Of My Dreams And Make Me
Question It All And Define
All My Terms Precisely.
No Scope For Loopholes
My Very Own Personal Socrates
My Own Path Have I Now
Defined , Because Of You , And
Your Thought Provoking Questions.

To Thank You , Would Be Like
Ending What We Do Share
So I Will Not Even Dare , To Say
Goodbye , To My Very Own Personal Socrates ,
Who Does Really Care , For Me
To Be Happy , And Asks Me
" What Can I Do To Make You So ? "
Although Unrealistic , Let Me
Indulge In My " Masculine Fantasy ",
Just Be There In My Life ,
After All , That Is All That Matters !
And The Rest , As Usual , Will
Work Itself Out , As Time Passes.
