wedding bells

A Poem by Michelle Samson

When mommy no longer tolerates your ‘forever and a day’ slumbers

When she  strategically keeps you with her in  kitchen

When she whispers culinary tips time and again

When she coaxes you to ,” dress up a little more”

  When daddy  supports mommy in the aforementioned

And you see him trying to save more penny

Then YOU KNOW, something is brewing in the air!

It is TIME……..

Soon he will walk you down the aisle

Soon, daddy ,knows,soon he will give you away

Soon a “chosen daughter” will  I be

And you mull over all of these,

you have’nt had  enough with them

you want to call up your little sister

and apologise for the umpteen wrongs

you want to stay back and loot your brother a little more

and the mirror  suavely reveals defects unseen  

 

oh! will things ever be the same?

how would I look in his eyes?

amidst these  amalgam of thoughts

my heart is grooming up coyly

its humming a serenade……….

Hush! hush!

My poor, funny heart!

Oh!will things ever be the same?
