The Chase Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik

The Chase

Rating: 5.0


He was not handsome but was very brilliant
And he was very rich in aspects spiritual.
An ideal he was in the temperaments
And his love for her was very very real.

His personality and her magnificence
Did not allow between them any fence.
She was attracted by the confluence
Of virtues in him for thirst in her to quench.

She liked him too much but wanted him
To earn ample money that he had none.
She wanted him to be rich to be her lover
So she guided him off his world spiritual.

He had neither time then even to look at her
Nor he had time even to welcome death
Being engaged in the chase of the wealth,
Since the chase was to please his beloved.

This state of his too irritated his beloved
A more wealthy fellow when she found
She thought it better to stop his chase
And got with the new one suddenly married.

Wow...The end of the poem made me a bit sad. You've put into poetry a bitter facet of modern love life that is not often depicted by many poets. Unfortunately, such examples are encountered daily. Spirituality, respect, love and other values must be mutual for a relationship to work...I assume that this is the main reason why the couple from the poem failed.10 +++ This state of his too irritated his beloved A more wealthy fellow when she found She thought it better to stop his chase And got with the new one suddenly married.
