Just For You Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Just For You



One bright sunny day, I happened to speak to him
Today for sure not knowing what is he to me
He smiled on the phone and laughed at heart
He spoke all things that would be my interest part
I thought this is for the fun of it
Knowing another person in this world a bit
The first meeting that started on an evening
Never thought would be to make a new beginning
This could be another best friendship in life
Or could end in an aversion to be my man's wife
Unknowingly my thoughts encircle this new friend of mine
Some unknown confidence that he would always be fine
With me and the days ahead together to be
Hope from the wrath of the destiny I would be free
Undoubtedly he has got every habit in his pocket
But to my happiness, the best of basic human values in his locket
He sometimes sounds like a spoilt kid
Who lost his mom, wife and bed?
There is a unique sparkle in his eyes
The passion I was searching all this years
In my man's speech and eyes,
Which I never found and so much wise
From home to office, he can talk on anything
And love, hate, happiness, sorrow, everything
A person who suffered a decade to make an empire of his own
And a decade to get the best of his life and been a crown
A person who has grown from the earth
To the mantle of success in his head beneath
Passion, is a small word, for the feeling that started
Towards this person who seem to match the withered
Soul who saw nothing but sorrow in life
As my husband's dearest wife
I met so many people in this world
But I am surprised what is it that interest me now
Not his richness nor his intelligence
But it is his own loneliness in life that makes him now
What he will be tomorrow to me in life
Prepared for anykind of a knife
That for the best of this friendship that started this spring
And for the unending happiness that it would bring
Something that started as a fun
Now in life as a desire will never burn.
