I’ll be there for you

 



I’ll be there for you –

A promise made to keep,

An assurance sworn to abide,

A faith strong, pure and true,

An oath to breathe till eternity,

A trust no trial can subdue.

 

The Friends, set the bar high –

Monica, Chandler, Ross, Joey, Rachel, Phoebe,

They taught us how friendship stand tall,

Against the tide of fading years,

How laughter and loyalty entwine,

And makes life’s journey more divine.

 

Louisa and William in Me Before You –

Unveiled love’s overwhelming reality,

Beyond the limits of mortal frame,

A selfless flame, only the pure soul to blame,

That even the grim reaper must bow before,

The commandments of the doting heart.

 

Sydney Carton in A Tale of Two Cities –

A silent ardent lover of Lucie,

Who gave his life, not for glory,

But for the triumph of love,

A sacrifice scripted in eternity’s story,

A testament that true love lives beyond return.

 

And so, my love, my promise stands true,

Through every storm of life’s long journey,

Nothing can pale what I feel for you,

And my heart will always sing along –

With the rock duo The Rembrandts –

That - I’ll be there for you…

A Day Will Follow Again!

  Life sometimes throws you to the end, You know not what, or where to mend. All you see is the box, big and hollow, With nothing in it, but darkness and sorrow.   No thoughts click, no action unfold Solutions meet with problems untold. Wonder what purpose keeps you aboard And remain connected to this holy abode.   Sanity becomes a prodigious miss, As you tumble into deep abyss. No words of wisdom and no hope, Would soothe your miserable self to cope.   An empty look is what you adorn, Reflecting into the past that makes you worn. All you need is resolutions to define, That this languidity too will pass with time.   Darkness is never here to remain, You'll find your strength to rise again. The cracks of sorrow will soon wane, For after every night a day will follow again.   © Anjana Premkumar   2024

A Tribute to Death

Image
  A beginning to all ends and closed doors, Uninvited, yet your presence awakens and pours- A new feeling within your frozen self- To pry on the change, you are forced to dwell.   You are not a farewell but a path set aside, For the mortals that had failed to abide- The rules of eternal truth, you shun- That time and tide wait for none.   You are a mirror to the deeds in the past, A yearning to hold a past that would last. A reality that a future will be born, With the dreams, of those who are gone.   You are no slayer or a merciless disguise, But a healer of the hurt soul, I surmise! You bring the living closer to reality- That life once born will not survive to eternity.   Life takes you through laughter and pain, Death returns you to the stars once again. If life is an ode of both sorrow and cheer, Death then, is the silence that makes it sincere.   © Anjana Premkumar   2025

Bliss to Despair

  Cluck cluck, this way dear horsey The sky is so bright and blue I know you are happy and I am too What’s holding you back though? Ah, it must be the meadows for sure It’s lush green vibrance tempting you   But my friend let’s move along - There’s more to see, to explore!   Life is but a ball of curiosity Look, those pine trees standing tall Like silhouettes of proud men on call Mysterious yet enticing to hear Its shadows whispering tales unclear   Queer and bizarre may it seem I find beauty in Nature’s darkest seam The bewitching call of the deep Cloaked in mystery yet serene Luring like a sorceress with spells unseen   Let’s climb these mountains Reach higher to touch the sky Where winds whistle lullabies and clouds hug to comfort your soul   Come my friend let’s move along - There’s more to see, to explore!   Do you hear the pops my dear - Crackles of fire crackers, are they? Or prac...
