The Forged Quill

  AND HENCE LOVE WANED The once irrefutable belief That love is forever Became a lie with her departure, Her newfound ignorance and anger Following me everywhere like a shadow Clouding my thoughts, making me grieve Reminiscing the beautiful times we had.   Oh we held hands, talked like friends And maybe, just maybe, had fallen for each other, We’d walked miles smiling and laughing, Teasing, getting closer than ever been Ashes to ashes is now what it is With the fire ceased and now the smoke Hanging between, rendering us unfamiliar.   Matters of the heart, as they say, Beguiles the mind, and puppeteers the tongue, With eyes not seeing much far beyond apparent sublimity And the thoughts staying hence on impression and admiration. Now with the notions of ‘love’ ebbing The heart sits alone, crying and the mind, restless Desperate and addicted to the intimacies of the past.   -F. Julian    

  MY BESTFRIEND  I have a friend who's priceless to me Who's always full of life and glee! Always doth her fun side show, How perfectly understanding is she! I took her over lots of pebbles and rocks, Had I, with her, many meaningful talks. Yet never did she ever complain About hostile terrain, and painful walks. Very bright is her smile, which for I, Never compliment as I'm always shy! Splendidly honest are we to each other And to her, I'd never lie. Changed us do seem these last few days, As we both try to mend our own ways. Through pride and caution and inspiring smiles, We face challenges together, for that's our craze! How extremely beautiful is she, though How magnificent are the qualities she does stow! How dedicated and hardworking is she, In her presence, I am never low! Faith's blessed me with such a comrade, My memory of her will never fade. Extremely honoured and grateful I am, To have a friendship which's lustrous than jade! -F. Julian

MOTHER The one with big, caring eyes, Who knows the truth behind all your lies, If He couldn't be there for us all the time, He gave us a mother, understanding and wise! What big hearts they have, who knows, To what extent their love and care goes! She brought us in this world with love so pure, She holds an auspiciousness greater than any rose! Impossible it is, to gauge her care, Who holds a place in our heart, so rare, Infinitely without exception is she always worried, Not one moment without love, I swear! Now, just imagine how bad it would be, Should your mother shed tears while you sit in glee, Truth to be told, the best fortune is, If you have a loving, caring mother, trust me. Enough about a mother could never be said, Who kisses us goodnight whilst we're in bed, Live long mother, for thee shal'st be, Forever, the heart of my head. -F. Julian
