Seen Seldom Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Seen Seldom

Rating: 5.0


It created uproar and storm
When I cleared the air and warned
'I shall not listen to anything'
She is the only one for me and something

Whole of the family members were stunned
As if one by one were shot at and gunned
My hostile reaction was not at all expected
As I was person of calm nature and always respected

All of them may come near to me with shock in eyes
They would think deeply but will be afraid to try
At any reconciliation move and put forward suggestion
As I remained adamant and as such posed big question

They wanted rich and beautiful bride in home
They had made long preparation to welcome
Only my consent was needed for final decision
Where as I had different ideas and expressed indecision

I was very much impressed by her elegant look
Even though she was not tall and perfect cook
I took all other qualities as perfect match
She was for me an ideal woman and precious catch

She will express apprehension sometimes
Take my hand and repeat it many times
I used to assure her about my commitment
Enjoyed many evening and night as right moment

It is good to be outspoken rather than be silent yes man
One should have enough of courage to tell with option
That creates good will and demonstrates firmness
Anybody can read it clearly on the calm face

I was not considered as rebel but certainly defiant boy
They had seen me playing with them and fighting for the toys
Now I was grown up man with all the qualities of young person
They thought it is not critical issue but must be understood with reasons

Now it was surprise moment for me
I was given a nod to choose and feel free
It was as if I was granted heavenly kingdom
A rare gesture coupled with happiness and seen seldom

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

The line 'One should have enough courage to tell with option' is tantamount to a 'quote' (Please see last but two stanza) . In my opinion, option could be likened to choice. In life, whatever accomlishments one may possess, choice or option may differ from person to person. A fine poem. Thanks for sharing. With regards, K. Sadasivan, Chennai Jul 21,2012
