You’re jaunty, cherished and a darling
Although I’m not sure you know it.
You can always make me cackle
No matter what I am about to tackle.
It didn’t take us years of knowing each other
Before we actually became birds of same feather
Which is weird to think, status quo
As my life would be quiet without you
You may not share my views on just about everything
But that’s not all it takes to cling.
We didn’t have just good times together
But then I didn’t have to have you tethered
Glaring at peril seems facile
With you as my oarsman racing against tide
A tryst with destiny turns difficile
Without you, my alter ego, by my side
Lovers aver to beloved, “I can’t live sans you”
But I only envisaged it may be true
When you touched my life
Like the first sunray caresses the morning dew
Squall at me or make a zillion jibes
Rip me with daggers or slay me outright
As my heart bleeds a lot more
When you yearn to confide, still keep quiet
To my solitude you act as a magic potion
Sans your chortles life makes no sense
I feel lost in a maze or drowned in an ocean
When you butcher me with the sword of silence
Some may choke laughing and
I don’t heed if some may get bore
I know, from within, my friend
You are not the silence of a shore.
This is to my boon companion
Who I will love till my end.
