Lost Friendships Poem by Satis Shroff

LOST FRIENDSHIPS (Satis Shroff)

When old friends

Go asunder,

What remains

Are memories,

Of moments

In tranquility.

When world tremble

And words shiver,

When lips vibrate

And nothing comes out

Of your larynx.

Just the uneasy

Breath from your nostrils.

The silence and solitude

That prevails,

When friendships

Have lost their meanings.

Encounters,

Wiedersehen,

Become embarassing.

And words become superfluous.

The old wounds bleed again,

Causing pain,

That come like sea waves,

Incessantly,

Stab and go.
