Soothing and gentle <br />your calming presence. <br />Extending your hands <br />To ease the thuds <br />Of my fall. <br />Sleeping in the quilt <br />Of tangled dreams <br />We woke up to the <br />Facts of a sordid life. <br />Covering your wounds <br />With baggy clothes <br />Of jokes and smiles; <br />Tending mine with a <br />Heart of steel <br />And balms to heal, <br />Burns of deceit <br />And lesions of defeat. <br />Let me <br />Anoint you with the <br />Milk of moon. <br />Vibrant hopes of <br />A silent prayer. <br />To take my share <br />And feed you forever.<br /><br />Raghavan Warrier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friend-28/
