LEFT AT THE ALTAR!!


Left at the altar!!
  
The poem has a female narrator…

This was supposed to be,
The best day of my life,
I was going to be,
Someone’s life partner; a wife,

Since years I had envisaged this,
The marriage vows, the hallowed kiss,
My dream was about to be fulfilled,
I felt elated, overjoyed, thrilled,

The music was being played,
Merry, in the background,
Friends and family had assembled,
About a hundred did hound,

I had got into my bridal dress,
About to walk the path divine,
When i heard news that brought me distress,
My groom had ran off with a maid of mine,

I had seen it in movies,
I didn’t know it could happen for real,
Down the drain went all my future memories,
I realized, happiness is an illusion; only pain is real,

How could I be so unlucky,
What wrong had I done to deserve this mess,
He was my prince, truly,
Yet he left me lurching in darkness,

None can fathom the extent of my pain,
As all my days keep passing by, in vain.
He was my soul mate, I always knew,
Now I wonder, was his love ever true,

Why did he do this, I do not know,
Will I be able to stop crying, I do not know,
But one thing I do know, and it’s true,
Men seek just your body; they don’t care for you…………

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a

[care for your loved ones, for u may not be with them the next moment] Love:: a journey!! What is love, a waste of time, Thought so, when i was nine. Stupid romantic movies i saw, that had many a flaw. But then, aged twelve i saw, a beautiful maiden, so elegant and tall, so beautiful, so much like a doll. That made me wonder, it made me ponder, Am i in love? I was eighteen ,and when dad would speak, all i felt, was to shout and shriek, for, a stern military voice he had i thought, being in love, is it so bad? Running, i went to my mother , but she didn't even bother. no one cared, no one listened, Drenched in pain, Tried to convince them what love is, But in vain, yet again... Years had passed, i had turned twenty five, last month, and about to take a vow, the same girl that she had been, since, at the age of twelve, i had seen, was now my bride-to-be.. Sometimes in life, u burn, but destiny always takes a nice turn, that makes life so full of fun. smitten by her, now about to mar
