By Krishna Dawda
His bride, she was
In love and for life
Ensouled in body and spirit
Oh, the ecstatic joy!
Breathing heavy,
Under his sturdy frame.
Make me complete……. was her call for the night.
His friend she became,
In the course of time,
Amidst the gaiety and palmy span
And the bubbling bliss of a new clan,
The sweet incense
Of a blooming liaison
Make me complete…. was her seek for the time.
To a ‘bahu’ she ripened,
In years of adapting
To rigmaroles of traditions and endless customs
The provider, the contributor
And a benevolent caterer
The mirror reflecting a debilitated form
Make me complete……… was her plea to her clan.
To her soul mate, she bared
The spill of her heart,
The vacuity, the dismals
Of a contemptible life,
The pining for an alcove,
The bouts of wistfulness,
Make me complete……. was her cry in a sigh!
To his consort, he retorted,
Your wretched gear
And tousled mane,
Oh, the offensive stench
Of a stodgy homemaker,
Give me way, my paramour waits,
Let me free…… was his holler across the way!
Her friend she became,
With the infinite self,
Identifying her true worth,
In an orbit of solitude,
With the Divine Source,
Unraveling her potency,
Make me complete………… was her orison to the Lord!
To the gentle lady, HE responded,
The beauty of your pristine spirit,
The grace of your soft frame,
The selfless surrender,
Of a loyal better half,
You are what it makes to be
An angel in Paradise,
You are more than complete……. take MY word for that!
Nicely expressed with deep love and truth
