A Friend Poem by Lopamudra Mishra

Heavy droplets in midnight,
is in battle with her inner droplets,
bottled up emotional thread
is loosen to unlease the string.
Years of solitude ready to mingle with
Rhythmic beat of rain.
In the nights oblivion,
Her struggle with bodyache and her pet dog by her side.
Lost her wombical cord in worldly charm,
Unaware and least bothered of her presence.
She scolds her belated beloved most.
Why to be spared alone to bear the trauma of loneliness alone!
Pillow dipped with tears, her limbs searches
An assuring hand to share.
A bond of togetherness,
Little dog’s eyes are full of tears,
As if it understands her best!
Slowly comes to her, rubs itself by her side,
Wagges its tail to share the grief!
Barks loudly moving around to alert others within it,
She is finding a new bond of friendship, not feeling alone
