Buddy

Buddy, I’m happy you’re my friend
Because like a ray of sunshine, you always brighten up my day
No worries or problems ever escape you when we’re together
And you always seem to know the right things to say

Buddy, I’m glad we even met
Happy our friendship continues to grow like a blossoming flower
And when there are times I feel I cannot go on
You magically appear, like a mountain of strength with heaps of love to shower

Buddy, don’t ever forget how much you mean to me
Words are not enough to show you how much I also care
And should there come a time when we are in conflict
Always remember, your presence in my life is a breath of fresh sweet air



.........................dedicated to a very dear friend {Javed Yusuf}

I love you.

I love you.
You’re the joy in my heart,
The sparkle in my eye,
The light in my life.

I love you.
You’re the wind to my wings,
The steps to my dances,
The voice to my songs.

I love you.
You’re the reason for breathing,
The purpose for thriving,
The cause for living.

I love you.
You’re the most caring human being,
The very generous and gentle,
The loveliest of them all.

Face of the Other

Clothed in just a piece of cotton

Sitting by the side walk

Head bowed and bags beside her

A tissue placed in front with coins

Her fingernails filled with dirt

Strong odor in the air

Eyes filled with despair and longing

Something which did not reflect me at all

It was the face of hunger

Knowledge – My Enemy!

My thirst for the truth is ever so great
I’d spend hours turning every rock and stone
Each word is so very vital
Scamming through all the pages I can find
I search and I search and I search
No hour is too long or day too short
The need of knowing must be fulfilled
Memory can only hold so much yet I go on
Leaving behind what I find wasteful
I surge forward every moment seeking
My strength is my weapon
Deeper and deeper I dig for information
Necessity is it for my life to have some meaning
Facts and figures are my longing
I desire to know what others already
No compensation for less
Blood boiling as my head aches
My need to know grows greater every day
Realization that not all specifics are to my liking
Yet I charge forward in quest for better results
Hoping for something tasteful
Wanting to know needing to know
Knowledge - my enemy!
