When Shall I Befriend You? Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
When Shall I Befriend You?
Befriending you
Can be a season`s joy for me
Perhaps much more than that!
In my phases laden with terrible gloom
Or in the corridors of my home of delusions
You may please, pace with me often!
But how to befriend you
Is a million dollar dilemma for me
And you know it.
A thousand miles up in the sky
You may like to linger for a few more years
But by then my mission will have been upset for ever.
Stretch out your hand for once, I plead
Let me stop this groping in the dark
And let me see you for a while.
Befriending you
Has to be my final act in search of the bliss
That has been all elusive till this very hour.
In the swirl-pool of obvious under currents
I may one day be sucked unto the depths of
The horror of an abyss unfathomed!
Before that happens, I plead
I want to befriend you
If you are there as they all say.......
The horror of an abyss unfathomed! That's horrible my friend. Don't get there. I extend my hand. You are my friend. Let us be friends.
This poem can be interpreted in many ways...! Apparently it is about a meeting of the protagonist with an ideal or person which he hopes would open up a new sky for him.... At a deeper level... this can be the quest of a seeker after an abstract or real entity whose presence, he is not fully convinced of... but the rest of the world keeps telling, it is there whose very sight is believed to dispel all gloom and brighten the dark paths....! However the protagonist eagerly awaits the impactful encounter!
Wonderful....Great write. I am inviting you to read my poems also. Thank you.
Loved reading this. Do you really want to befriend...... I have a feeling that at subterranean level we all atheists are believers.
Good luck with your befriending Dinesh, but I suspect it will not happen - like you, I am atheistic.
Deep, complex and searching for something to believe in and to have faith that somebody is watching over you when your darkest, moments torment you and seem to cast you aside, a plea for peace and a sanctuary to heal your wounded soul! Brilliant write! !
