Nuptial Dreams!

 

Sat Sangeeta in her chair

with sight and thoughts yonder

started delving into her mind

reached the shore of yore.

Heartily she wove her nuptial dream

in golden threads of jubilation,

she felt like months and years, her days,

as eager much was she for her wedding

 

Sadly! Went everything in vain when

alerted all, the news of an accident

her groom and his kin met with,

ending at the end of his dad’s breath.

 

Haunted her what has happened

as a scene very horrendous

that had, her visage, bathed

with tears of doubt about her bridal.

 

Ago a couple of years or more

eve of the wedding; the crowd,

was dashing from room to room

with tray and tray in hands.

 Snacks and soft drinks were served

to guests, arrived to bless the bride,

no stinginess, but screening splendour,

Alas! A phone call, the serene, spoiled.

 

Awaited she long, for a verdict

of her wedding date, much valued,

to brush off her smearing gloom,

well from her groom's side.

 

Never at all, it happened,

to flourish her nourished dream

instead, its silence stretched,

hinting at intimation nil.

 

Pointing at her bridal entry

as a crucial ill-fate to family

the upshot, from in-laws, bounced,

totally her nuptial dream nipped.

 

Being similar to a grass widow

attention not at all, heeding

to the voice and advice from elders,

 she chose forever, the life of a lone lady.
