friends

i have friends in both camps

in which you are denied

and in that you are affirmed

i have some in that middle too

hence i easily walk in and walk out

into all camps, knowing too well

neither my aflame affirmations

nor my denials make your being

and what matters is my becoming

a friend affirming strengths inbuilt

for both affirmation,  or denial

of you beyond that fragile me in all

friend i seek

i need your friendship

more now, than before;

i feel my aloneness

and the much i have lost

without a companion to chat

to receive a timely counsel!

those around me are too busy

and carry their own grief;

when not busy, or not burdened

with woes, often they are fake!

be not far away; speak loud

to me, and clear, that i may hear!
