Part I

Love was not as it looked...it seemed
His arrow struck the target and Cupid beamed !!!
He winked at me......my mouth ajar...
Love was just around the corner..but seemed so far !!!

He egged me on to confess my Love
Kicked my ass, gave me a mighty shove...
Terrorised me with his pointed dart...
But i turned him down with a heavy heart !!!

Cos, Friendship,not Love was on my mind...
He kicked me again...on my back, behind !!!
"Pyar Dosti Hai",he said, he screamed...
She looked different now..not as before she seemed !!!

But still i ignored that " Flash of Light"..
Which had been my companion in wrong or right..
She was just a friend and nothing more..
By now Cupid was exasperated and looked all sore !!!

He argued with me in vain and left...
I stood watching him go,...bereft !!!
But little did i know,he'd planted the Love-seed in my coat
That'd turn friendship into Love, for the girl i dote[on]!!!

It changed my thinking...changed my view..
Inculcated Love in my heart..for the girl i knew...
That magic gave me the courage to speak out my heart
To relate to her, the feelings on my part !!!

"Will u marry me ?",followed this Love newly found..
Her affirmation, my heart knew no bound[s] !!!
And in the heavens,also did Cupid 'Tango & dance'..
Cos all he needs is a little chance...

That friendship begets Love, to probe in your mind..
And leave the scene with Love lingering behind :D...

Part II

Well u thought it might as well be the end...
But too got it's curves and bend(s)...
It's not laid out on a platter to eat
Someday or the other,u gonna face it's heat !!!

The story continues with me in lead,
My Love, my friend and the good ol' Love-seed !!!
Happily married and Love everywhere...
Romance,adoration & kisses & care !!!

But time passed..& the magic faded..
Our Love lost it's shine & it looked all jaded !!!
The responsibilities piled on day by day...
Life was all about work and there seemed no play !!!

Gas bill,Electric bill, water bill..and more..
There was no respite from that daily chore
Of living Life with it's ups and downs...
But my friend was happy; and never did she frown !!!

Then came in the kids, one by one...
My li'l princess and then my rising son !!!
We foursome, were happy,contented & gay...
But my friend was tired; but never did she say !!!

But i'd loved her from the bottom of my heart...
Though she said nothing, but her eyes played their part...
They spoke of the pain,the tensions,the rut...
I too, had gone through all of this but...

But my friend had bore it all for me !!!
She'd always been beside me, in sorrow or glee...
She was my ambition,my strength,my force...
Lubing my way through the Paths of Life..so coarse !!!

Today the Light is fading..and soon it'll be dark..
But my soul is happy, as happy as a lark !!!
But this darkness will vanish,so will i, ..before dawn..
But my friend will remain friendless after i am gone :( !!!

Part III

Sorry folks!! Sorry my friend..
I realize i have to keep up with the lastest trend..
...On a happy note my poem must end !!
The climax being so sad ..it could do with a bend !!!

Without my friend, I got NO one ...
"I must go back, herein there's no fun..."
"I must go back;..bring a smile to her tears...
Which'll dissolve her sorrows..vanish her fears" !!!

"I must go back,as my soul still loiters on Earth...
Bring back in my friend's Life, happiness and mirth..
I must go,Cupid; Let me be free...
Becos, my friend, my heart beatsjust for thee" !!!

So Cupid and me, racked our brain(s)...
Going back again ..was gonna be a pain !!!
Dead men just don't get up and walk...
But had in store for me ..just another shock !!!

He went down on Earth and met my friend...
Who was all helpless, with no one to depend [on]..
He conveyed to her, the message(of Love)on my part...
Which he had plucked carefully, straight from my Heart !!!

She kissed him,hugged him , but Cupid din't mind...
Up here i burned in fury..."Cupid was gonna get kicked behind" !!!
She sent a stream of kisses up in the air !!!
Happy and joyous ..now she had no care !!!

Cos, now she had me,above,on her vigilant guard..
Her Love, her friend..her eternal bard !!!
Strumming romantic tunes on my heavenly harp !!!
Me..happy with Death..and having no carp !!!

Today,
My friend is old, having played her part...
The kids have gone, and so she wil depart...
She'll rise on the "Path to Heaven"..and again meet Cupid...
Who'll lead her to me,..her old Love...her stupid...

..friend who was pining for her..from the day he died..
The day, She had broke down and cried...
My friend still cries, but (now) in laughter and joy !!!
And kicks my ass,
When i whistle at the fairies, so coy ;) !!!
