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!

Awesome :) I am the kind of person who doesn't even read short messages related to love and relationship, but I read your poem thrice already :)
ReplyDeleteBefore I say, "I Do", I must say, "I read it" on my phone the moment the notification got updated on my phone. I switched on the WiFi and all through when I read, I can't tell you what "I saw it as"... That part of life I'm now leading, a major transition which you all will enter in a couple of years, described every word, of confusion, of love, of mind over matter, of chaotic single foot steps to leave behind to a world of responsibilities, it is different.. "I felt it is different" to be the one to say something you have wanted to say all life and not sure how, not sure why at that precise, may be earlier or may be later, whichever the better.. "I realised it is the same", whichever earlier or later, it is the moment of truth...
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find words to write more spontaneously dear Greeshma, but all I could write was the above with every quoted sentence having just one more word than the previous... I have feelings to express but not words, - moment of truth..
That the poem was just well written is a mere fact that there's more talent in you, but the fact that you write bravely is all that matters :) :)
Bum: Thanks sugar! and, like I said earlier, I love love you! :P :*
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, after all you're the one to read it raw on my Blackberry! :P
Prashanth: Thank you so much. It makes me feel really nice that I could bring in that transition for you! Touched! :)
Jyo: This is the first thing I read this morning. I had to hurry, and my! I had the biggest smile on my face today and all thanks to you! You're one self less being I tell you. And, besides, when these kind words come from someone who is an amazing writer herself, it's a great deal to me!
And, every time you unfailingly write those sweet, encouraging things, I'm left out of words. You guys keep me going, Really! :)
-Love much! :)
XOXO
