Quak, Quak, Quak Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Quak, quak, quak...
Thee my sovereign dame;
Hi.. Remember!
The day we took oath,
Witnessed by lotus,
In this lake;
I looked up in sky,
Then face to face,
And eye to eye;
Kissed your beak,
Hugged neck to neck,
And asked,
Love me as your cob;
You crouched face in shy,
Held me under your wing,
'Said' quak..quak..
I love thee;
Do swear,
I shalt always be your pen;
Shalt fly high in sky
Together live in lake;
You are king of mine,
My womb is for your kids;
Quak, quak, quak...
Oh! My lady queen,
Feel your snowy feather,
So soft silky pillow quilt,
Feel warmth,
When you take me,
Under your wings;
Quak, quak...
Oh my lady,
Life is once,
Fall only once,
In blissful love;
A life long partner,
Cares my kids;
Quak, quak...
In joy and sorrow,
Hot, wind and cold,
I Shalt stand as brolly;
Your love inspires,
Gives strength to endure,
Difficult times;
