Engagement

This is the poem I have written for my sister and to-be brother-in-law for their engagement ceremony.

Engagement

 

Pink in dress with golden flakes.

Pink in shirt with blue suit.

Glowing eyes deep in lakes,

Building something strong in root.

 

It takes two souls to exchange rings,

Binding the two together.

Not as detention or tying of wings

But as mutual growth of feather.

 

"Relationships are made in heaven

Humans bring it to reality."

The stories and poems we've always woven.

Some come in love, rest arranged by faculty.

 

But only a few make it to the divinity,

The ones who don't look in the eyes,

They don't bring or come for affinity

They happen in bounds where heaven lies.

 

Mars is red out of blushing

For these rare couples exist.

Here's this poem for the stars of the evening,

Who were born with love in their fist.

 

Let's bring forth our hands

For applauding the incarnation of this ivy.

Dropping from the heavenly lands

The unbreakable jodi of Gautam and Geetanjali.

The photos above have originally been snapped at the engagement ceremony on 18th October 2013.

This is a beautiful poem for any couple about to be married, made more special by the fact that you wrote it for your sister and almost brother-in-law.

Building something strong in root... I love this simple line, an affirmation of the depth and strength of a relationship. Wonderful job here, Shivam!

This is a lovely poem filled with sweet sentiment:

It takes two souls to exchange rings
Binding the two together
Not as detention or tying of wings
But as mutual growth of feather.

That is lovely.
