Dear I Propose Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Dear I propose
Friday,7th May 2021

How long I waited?
how many years I dated?
all things remain unrelated
I still not term it 'ill-fated'

She was my first choice
even she had promised to be the one
she was close to my heart
but never reacted to love

I waited and waited
and even remained excited
to hear
her whisper

I am going desperate
for having not set
the course in the direction
for building bond and relation

she could read in my eyes
and tried
to convince
as I had evinced great interest

'Dear' one serious proposal
it is my idea as an individual
will you accept me as I am?
will you include me in your life team?

I felt shocked as if heaven had fallen
it was never expected even
I had long waited for such words
and here it came as blessings from the Lord
