THE UNION "ONLY DESIRED"
There was once a lad
With a mouth
little twisted
Remained his
family with him, sad
A search spree
they had started
That even two years
hence didn’t finish!
Many maidens he
met, not one chosen
His desire probably
himself he forgotten
His predecessor
unwell, his mother rushing to see him wed.
The next they approached
in the same city grand…
Their enthusiasm
saw no bound
Finally, the
perfect maiden for their lad
They had found.
Initially
unwilling the virgin lass
Agreed to give
this proposal a chance
Mature she was,
two meetings hence
Told her mother –
this man wasn’t for nuptial dance
With the rules of
patriarchy in mind
Her mother said
“You may be wrong;
he is one of a kind….”
Highly educated though she was, never kept a tinge of pride
Gave this
relationship a fair chance to ride
Her emotions her
love were always extreme
Wholeheartedly made
the lad feel special
Accepted him as
the “man of her dream”
Only for him, in
fine clothes she dressed
Treated herself to
skin essences and cream
Qualified less he
was…..yet she agreed
A residence in the
same city post marriage
Her mother’s burdens can be freed!
Post festivities,
he offered her a positive sign
Her family
over-joyed, marriage was soon on the cards
Yet something was
amiss, she could read between the lines
What happened next
was her worst nightmare
Rejection after
rejection he gave without a reason clear..
That's words dwindled, with no links
Yet the benefit of the doubt she gave and continued to pursue
“Not everything we
desire, get from our men”- told her sister in ink
All adjustments to
be made, to her words – she remained true
Talk spread among
masses about this union
The wolfish ones
threw her reputation to ruin;
Yet, she hoped – he
was responsible enough
He was a modern
treasurer
On his decision and
belief, he would stand tough!!
Alas! This was
something not be had
Never imagined the
lass - her care, her love
He interpreted as “bad”
He asked “What she
saw in him”
Beyond his character,
nothing else she had seen
She wasn’t a
gold-digger, her individual reputation enough for her
A house she could
afford herself, as well as a car.
She wasn't a person planning holiday in Maldives
Only the commitment through exchange of rings...
She had heard - Her
permanent job was his trouble; she had thought
“Work-from-home”
only for him she sought!
Yet, he didn’t respect
any of it
Called her a “trouble-maker”
Couldn’t make him
understand
She had always been a lover…a giver!
These whole long months strengthened her belief
He had stamped it –
she thought with relief.
Maybe he hoped for
a pretty, young lass
Why her – graduating the same class
How good it would on his CV of matrimony
"Rejected someone from ivy institute of the country"
His value would be hugely raised
That's on what choices of grooms are based
She had always
known, he made her clearly see
“Getting the stronger
gender’s love and care
Has been not written
for me!!”
