Perpetual

What will exist forever in life,
Not withered wee bit and standing upright?
My thoughts wondered inquisitively to know
Whom can I trust to my heart’s delight?

Overwhelmed with utter anticipation,
I knocked at LOVE’s door.
Without slightest of doubt in my mind,
I asked, won’t you be there for sure?
Love smiled at me gleefully and said,
I am born in your heart and wish to stay
But I need your attention, vow and devotion
And want to be accepted the same way.

Thwarted by Love’s give n take,
I headed towards FRIEND for cure.
Rooted with concern and empathy,
Friendship is always known to be pure.
Most of the time I will be with you
You will find me sharing all good n bad
But only till in my life someone special I find,
Ah! But you can call me if you feel sad.

As life gets busy and time passes by
It too will weaken and God Forbid may not survive.
Then whom do I bank forever.
Are they relations whom I can rely?
Certainly you may to a certain extent,
As genetically our bonding is so strong
But mortal are we with worldly desires,
You never know what can go wrong.

Disheartened I moved here and there,
In desperate wish to know what’s forever
When I happen to see my shadow
Moving along I go wherever.
How cudn’t I know that none but my own existence
will accompany myself till the time I am alive.
I trust my thoughts and conscience to be my own
With me they will perpetually survive.
