With tightened
eyelids, up-curled lips
Clutching her best
memories of his,
Close to her heart,
she slept.
She went back to the
day,
He went down on a
knee
Announced to her of
his stolen heart
The day he held out
the diamond solitaire
The day she broke into
million tear droplets
The day he promised
of happily ever-afters
The day he taught her
a life of hope!
Of how, he held onto
her in storm and rain
And bled as much, in her pain.
When, her memory took
her through
The days of the fresh
blooming love,
When, with his
Raymond charms,
He had, had her love-
struck.
She couldn’t help,
but skip a beat
She couldn’t help but fall in love
The nights turned
dawn and the seasons changed
But, unchanged it
remained…
The love that endured
the test of time,
The love that now
stood at the doors of divinity
The love- tender and
caring marked with infinity
The love that
enveloped passion and warmth
The love that ensured
trust and forgiveness
The love that
promised friendship and honor profound!
And so an abiding
affection, that
Most men and woman
have spent themselves longing
Such was the kind she
was bequeathed with.
She knew she was the luckiest woman alive
Yet another memory of
his, flashed by,
A tear of gratitude
streamed,
She sniffed silently and let out a sigh!
She thought of him,
time and again
A string of
reminiscence made a show
Of the man, that
awakened a storm,
In the deepest seas of
her soul
Of the man, that
crossed the threshold,
Like he owned her guarded heart.
She then lay, in the
pool of memories
Of the perils they
endured hand in hand
It was the night, she
cried out loud
The night before
she’d say ‘I do’.
She cried her lungs
out in merriment
In the celebration of
love that had found it’s home
In the prayers that
were answered this way
In those of the dreams
that affirmed their stay.
The next sunshine,
they were bound
To the knot of
strength and to the code of loyalty
A promise to keep,
even beyond eternity
He vouched to the
fire, to be her patron-
In sickness and in
health
In distress and in
wealth
In good times and in
bad
To encompass all
life’s sorrows and joys
All hardships and
triumphs, and the experiences that lie ahead
To cherish and to
respect
To comfort and
encourage
To honour her dreams in all aspects
There, she was living
a dream,
As he made promises
in love
Kept in faith and
lived in Hope.
Until death would do
them apart!
And hence, it made,
the perfect sense to life
As they were
pronounced man and wife
There exists a
kingdom where happiness reign
And, people say fairytales are few
and far between!
