Friends and Foes far and wide
Smiles and frowns all over
Darkness and radiance around me
Joys and Sorrows the world over
Countless duos fleeting my life trail
Each with their own ups and downs
*
Every pair educated me on a life facet
Friends following showing love and care
Twists into foes abruptly showing betrayal
Smile brought forth scores of steadfast friends
Frown covered face kept my kith and kin at bay
Darkness proved me luminescence’s worthiness
Radiance glared blinding my eyes
Joys, I wasn’t able to see anyone
Sorrows, all were seeing me pitifully
*
Each couple visited my life at least once
One partner showed me all ups in life
I wasn’t aware there is a steep slope
Down refined me removing my pride
Showing me reality, preparing to meet next up
At times couples had a get-together in my life
Rejoicing, screaming, crying, and troubling.
Emotions expressed but never parted
*
More paradoxically tied couples
Passed my life now and then
Positive and negatives fused together
Decorating my life with colorful lights
Talking to me each day, their offspring’s
Preparing to face more tough couples
In my long journey of life
