Summer Friend Poem by AMMUS SREERAJ

Scorching summer in a strange city
Spending days among a crowd of strange faces
Searching for a friendly face
My eyes came to rest upon yours,
Mischievous & twinkling, cute little eyes.
They invited me to you
As by some magic we became friends
Summer nights weren’t lonely any more
With starry roof above & you beside me
You sang away your blues with your torn old guitar
Knowing that it will also keep mine away
We became poets & musicians
Of another world
Days, Dreams, & Dinners were spend together
Till the last day of May came
With the announcement of my departure at the night train
Silent tears replaced twinkle of your eyes
Only ‘Scorpius’ & me saw that
I left you never saying goodbye
Because I want you to be my friend
For all the summers ahead!
