Voice Of A True Friend Poem by Debasish Mishra

Thank me not for my help
For u know not what a friend can do,
I can selflessly sacrifice myself-
Only for you, o dear, only for you.

Give me a bottle of noxious poison
And I will guzzle it like a careless Kid,
Ask me & my life shall be given
And my soul shall be proud for my deed.

Then if my corpse can be of any use,
Take it, o dear, without hesitation;
But the glow of our bond never shall fuse-
And I shall meet you in the next incarnation.....
