Friends Forever!

Am grateful for all that was ever bestowed -

Love from my friends, or hatred from my foes...

For whenever a foe ripped a part of me -

My friends gave me themselves, forever to keep!

Wedding Vows

I hadn't ever denied you

Never questioned your sober self -

Never renounced your love

Nor scoffed at your proposal.

Venturing into a forbidden bliss

Knowing our desires were amiss

With a wild verve, I would run to your side

Giving up all bounds, I was forced to abide.

Your fixed eyes, repeated your vows to me

Your hoarse voice whispering words, lovey-dovey

Dark hands guided by the softness of mine

We walked the aisle, to be blessed by his love, benign!

Our days of struggle at each others' pace

Our doubts, at what each other gazed

Our thoughts if we did act in haste

And all that vanished, when we engulfed in an embrace!

Spending four decades and stepping into the fifth

Of having broken barriers and rewriting the myths

I am happier to have spends years as a blind man's wife

Than to have paraded my love in return of never ending strife!

28 years.

And the wait was worth it all!

The men in blue, standing tall!

Proud moment, being an Indian!

Words fall short.

Kuddos!
