Redifining Chastity

Rating: 3.3


He sauntered by on the road
that took him away from his board
hiding his feelings fathom deep
And ensured time and again
that they did not peep
from his eyes....
just in order to escape the queries
that started with whys.....

And he kept on walking reminiscing the days
when he led his life in the happier ways
with someone with whom he was in love
so deep that it was her intimacy
which he treasured all above...

Then suddenly a smile crossed his face
when he remembered her divine grace
the way she smiled with a dimple on her cheek
the way she watched him with her moistened eyes
And how her lips quivered when she talked to him
and how her cheek rolled when she ran towards him
then he would hold her within his arms so tight
and this thing made them never fight....

And he kept on walking thinking of the time
when in some inn they would together dine
And dance to the music that was there played
then in there bed they laid and played
the games of love..! !
the games of love..! !
and engrossed himself in her intimacy
which he treasured all above...

Time moved on and their love proliferated
then something happened which them all the more elated
when the heavens bestowed on them
that budding symbol of their love..
A little fairy had arrived in their life
And the Almighty be praised coz she looked like his wife..! !

he still walked under the blue skies
trying to suppress his distress and grief

Then to stop his tears he closed his eyes
but couldn't forget his tragic past
when his darling breathed her last...

yet something happened that left him satisfied
that he was beside her the moment she died
uttering those very last words of hers
That darling i knew..
i knew you would come
And then forever she kept mum...

He heaved his legs towards the place
where he would put an end to his life
coz it had become meaningless
with the departure of his darling wife
now he would never find her by his side
so he had no way but to commit suicide...

There came a temple on his way
and he entered in it coz he wanted to pray
to ask his last wish from the MOTHER ALMIGHTY
with his hands joined and head bent
he murmured in front of the OMNIPOTENT

Oh Mother! oh saviour..!
grant me her company after my death
coz i cant endure the isolation
that her demise has bequeath..

He came out of the temple only to see
a little girl as tender as she could be
seeking alms from a devotee
This scene evoked a thought in his mind
that what would happen to my beloved child
when i am no more in this world so wild...

Now he turned his steps towards the plaze
where he would his life in the happier ways
enjoying the beauty of that angelic innocence

That tender giggle that charming face
that tender giggle that charming face.....

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

What a fascinating story - a parable really - with its heart of gold and it's 'message' of life. You share moments of tenderness, of the indescribable agony of loss, of despair and of hope in a tale that compels your reader to read to the very last word. Your poetic expression is outstanding and you have a keen ear for the drama of language. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
