A New Life Begins Poem by Jaishree Nair

Today is the great day,
The beginning of another life;
The rhythm of music waltzing in her heart,
A smile unknowingly played on her lips.

Humming a tune she breezed through
enjoying the hustle bustle of the day
She tried to smoothen her locks
raring to burst out of its tight clasp.

A thumping loud! from her heart?
She stopped -
An anticipatory beat-she mused
Ticking a count down for the Moment.

She paused in front of the mirror;
The depth of passion for the unknown thrill
Stared back from the eyes in front.
A tremor of the unknown shook her.

To bathe in the river of emotions
To experience the touch of ecstasy
like a bud eager to bloom
under the caresses of the unknown!

The murmur of Cupid's secret ringing in her ears;
Body tingling with the fragrance of perfumed lather
Cheeks glowing with inner excitement!
Lips flaming from the fire within.

Her eyes half closed to drown in the flow
of bubbling mystic of a maiden's dreams
painting her desires with exotic colours.....
Willing to be united in holy matrimony

Entered her friends teasing to adorn her
To make her more irresistible than Aphrodite's girdle;
to take the breath away of many
but above all to enchant her prince charming.

She sat silent, shyness concealing
the conflicts of emotions inside....
Waiting for the ring to seal her fate
For the better - she hoped- prayed
A new life beginning..............!
