Lament Poem by Jaishree Nair
Lament
A year of married bliss,
Lost in a moment of quarreling hiss.
Arrows of words piercing the very soul,
Like Brutus's dagger that bled Caesar whole
To err is human,
To forgive Godly.
To forget is manly,
To avenge brazen.
The bond of holy band on her finger,
Brought tears that vision blurred.
Bewildered in a stranger's house,
Wings shingled like a docile mouse.
Oh! To be back in papa's secure arms,
To listen to mum's comforting charms.
To be laughing at brother's prankly trance,
Lovely memories of homely prance.
She waited lonely and frightened,
Waiting for the footsteps shunned.
Will he enter the gate?
Or leave her to her fate?
Loved this one. The angst of a newly wed bride at her husband's. Thanks for sharing.
A supposed month of honeymoon and pure bliss filled with distress well depicted in the poem. Reality has set in as couples realize how incompatible they are. But patience, understanding, faith, careful nurturing... can still be brought to bear in the relationship to keep the course of marriage in proper perspective. A lovely poem with nice rhyme scheme, well articulated and beautifully penned. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
