I Could See Poem by Lavigne Kin

I could see.. The droplets of sweat across your forehead.. Leaving behind childhood innocence.. A path towards a mature life, you had tread..

I could see..jitters running down your spine.. ''Oh..yeah! God...he's finally mine.. together our life will shine.. with him...even without teeths..its my life's prime..''

I could see...your careful way of speaking.. Praises and blessings of others seeking.. your cheeks aching. Because of constant smiling..

I could see..blend of feelings in your eyes.. You are going to lose your childhood ‘possessions prized' From the corner of your eyes..you see him.. But another moment...seeing your family, they turn dim..

I could see..your mind clouded.. With both sad and happy expectations.. Promoting collective interest over self interest, you gonna leave your childhood nest..

I could see..you wanted to smile.. Soooo big and extended across miles.. When you saw him..your eyes gleamed.. reality turned, all what you have dreamed..

I could see..you wanted to talk.. But you were surrounded on both the sides by a folk.. Seeing your expressions..they mocked..! I observed and analyzed your feelings.. don't be shocked..!

I could see..you muddled up.. ''Oh! gosh..hope my make up is not screwed up..! ! '' your body going numb.. your brain throbbed..and you stood dumb..

I could see..you came back to your senses.. When butterflies started dancing.. your eyes trying to capture all the still objects.. Each of your siblings your eyes tracked..

I could see..the smile on your face.. Trying to control the tears ready to race.. All around you dazed.. As if its all new... I am amazed..! !

I could see..different paradoxical notions.. Consisting your ambivalent emotions.. your life moving in a rapid motion.. leaving behind all the significant portions….!

Your parents still remember.. That month of december.. The chill of the morn.. That day you were born..

Started your new life.. Now ready to become someone's wife.. you struggled..you thrived... This competitive world you survived..

Yes, I could see.. Yes, I could remember.. All of this.. In the mist...

It's you..through it, who is going through.. But in a moments few... This chill dawned on me.. Realizing someday I will also be in a situation as thee..

My heart worried … one day my parents I will miss.. The tryst...and the kiss.. Forever one name on the lips... Never thought it gonna end and begin like this...

I abandoned myself..found a corner. sat there..till today from this bitter truth I was a foreigner.. But now this is concealed no more.. I will also be married within years four..

Then what about my family that I adore.. This sour truth thus tore.. I won't a free bird anymore.. Someone else would occupy my heart's core..

I just know the roots of this tree.. To a heart the only one key.. In order to grow its proper branches.. One needs to take a lot of chances..

Trying and failing.. Trying and failing.. Rivers from our eyes sailing.. Leaves our heart silently wailing...

But on a fine sunny day.. Comes true the dream for which you used to pray.. Comes a white horse … ridden by a prince... for whom, you have been waiting since..

Then blows mild wind.. your flawless destiny to you, gets forever pinned.. Guitars and shehnai play.... and good byes to your parents you pay….
