Poetry
Friendships
The memories treasure and celebrate the transient permanence of friendships
Like the wine bottles kept in the cellar, friendships gleam with time.
Spreading love and fragrance as those of mogras in the hair.
And becoming paint-brushes balanced tenderly in the loose locks,
To create colorful memories.
Sometimes being the stormy waves,
Sometimes the quiet blue ocean
Which engulfs every sorrow silently.
Thriving and surviving the test of time,
To emerge out as a bond of a lifetime.
Remembering each other like Satan and Mephistopheles
Amidst the Pandemonium.
And becoming only a character in the story of life
Making countless futile attempts,
To bloom immortality.
To pen everything down that ;
Made it or perhaps broke it.
But like the perfume bottle whose fragrance haunts when broken,
The memories treasure and celebrate the transient permanence of friendships.
