Give me your strength as a tennis player,
Your kindness and compassion too.

For learning from your consistency,
And having your jokes glued to me too.

Striving to become you,
You help me overcome frustration over a point too.

You teach me to try my best,
And use the right grip too.

I’m rolling on the floor,
Laughing to your ironic jokes too.

You’re a great friend,
And my tennis partner too.

Besides your jokes,
I admire the effort you present too.

You’re very honest and sincere,
And fun to be around too.

My jokes will never surpass yours,
As our friendship grows too.

You make me ecstatic,
The laughter and joy increases too.

You lift me up when I’m down,
Teaching me how to become a great tennis player too.

Watching you before my eyes,
Make me not only smile but really adore you.

You’re an inspiration,
And spontaneous too.

You would fight till your goal is reached,
And improve on your unforced errors too.

I’ve known you for eleven years,
As we played together too.

I’ve been timid around you at first,
Not even glancing at you too.

Over each year we’ve talked more,
Now we’re best friends too.

I hope these years will continue,
And we’ll see each other too.

We’ve been through exhilarant and complicated times,
But we’ve been through much excitement too.

I’m grateful to have met someone like you,
You make me feel worth while,
Playing a suspenseful game of tennis too.
Your touch is phantom to my skin,
When distance; a wraith, the closest friend.
And I am left enveloping a speculation...
Beneath a twilight'******of night.
Entwined in lonesome, sleepless blankets.
To be held captive by restless memories.
Imagination sends me your exhilarant kiss.
When dawn meets dusk in desolation.
Time cannot ever end my lasting love.
Today, I choose to feel life.

To stand in the rays of sunlight,
And evaporate in its strength.

To step on the dew covered grass,
And be grasped by the soil beneath my weight.

To gaze at each creature roaming amongst me,
And be blinded by their exhilarant existence.

To fill my lungs until they can contain no more,
And exhale with hopes of fueling other life.

To close my eyes,
extend my arms to the heights of the sky,
And absorb the magnitude of the universe.

My feet may be stuck in an unwanted place,
My mind living in the clouds,
My surroundings moving in too fast a pace,
But today,
No matter the perplexity,
The earth and I share no boundaries.

*We are one.

I am one.

Life can be long and tedious
But it can also be electrifying and exhilarant
Only if you make it to be
