Essence of Security

What a pleasant morning it was!!
Yet my heart was gloomy
Instead of being chirpy

Religiously I lit the incense sticks
Yet found it’s usual aroma missing
My ears mourned the demise
Of the morning ragas

You are happy to be back
After a much needed hiatus
So am I!!
As I want you both
To enjoy this phase of togetherness
Rather than taking care of us
Though your departure
Has created an inestimable void
At home!!

Your presence exuded
The perfume of support and security
Perhaps! That’s the essence
Of ones parents compassion
To which I’m deeply indebted!!

I’m sure of my beloved husband
To view this approach
Of mine as veneer
To impress you both
But I wouldn’t delve into
The veracity of my emotions
For it’s beyond measure
And it’s my treasure!!

Euphoric Sailing

It’s been over a month
And I’m blissfully sailing
In the ship of marriage

Though my lips prayed
With fervent sincerity and certitude
To have a safe navigator
In my life
Getting into the ship
Of marriage
Was a sanguinary struggle

His authentic nautical influence
Let me off my obstinate anchor
For I was convinced
Of my life’s protection
In the sacredness and warmth
Of his heart and arms!!

Now I find
Getting into the sea
Of marriage
Is a sanguine struggle
And the sailing euphoric!!
