'A Friend'

someone who reaches for your heart and touches your soul;

someone who accepts you because of the person you actually are;

someone who celebrates your happy times and is there to help you through your lows as well;

someone who helps you perceive the real beauty of life through his own eyes;

someone who makes you realise that life is not about seeing the things as they are but as we are;

someone who never indulges in facades or adulation ;

someone who tries his level best to be the most amicable person around you even in times of great distress;

someone who deluges you with care and concern but never eludes you from the reality;

& someone to whom you can pour out all your heart's contents , knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and blow the rest away.

"who rules my heart"

WHO RULES MY HEART?

There is someone who rules my heart,

unaffected by the worldly vices,

not budged by any hear-say,

taking out bits of emotions each day,

reminding me of it's presence,

cautioning me not to be carried away,

reprimanding me each time i lose track of my aim,

there is someone who rules my heart.

I keep wondering who is this well wisher of mine,

who cares for my goals & ambitions,

who preserves my inner identity each time i face a delusion,

who is a believer of my justified decisions,

and brings to face each of my mistakes,

who never hesitates in speaking the truth to me ;

however bitter it might be,

knowing that the ultimate benefit will be mine only.

There is someone who rules my heart ,

but unknowing to me,

i keep wondering of this unidentified beneficiary,

i keep waiting for the day his identity is revealed,

so that i can appreciate his presence,

so that i can thank him profusely.

I keep wondering at all odd moments until i realise that it is........

...... me myself.
