Ten Years…
Two strangers get introduced
Formally;
Knowing you, knowing me.
Two families meet
In agreement;
Uniting him, uniting her.
Ten years….
We recall the journey
Of acceptance, adjustments
And selflessness in
Loving you, loving me.

The Woman….
Marooned in her own island,
Searched within for the answers;
Her pains did not pain;
Her fears no more scared;
Her insecurities turned secure;
She was no more who she used to be.
Her reflections began to fade
And she evolved day by day.
The eyes, nose and lips were the same
And she smiled knowingly.
Satisfied in her new found freedom
In knowing her and knowing life,
In love with herself;
A significant human being
Sure of sharing and caring;
The woman that I am
I love her for her self
And I smile knowingly….
Explain…
As I sit thinking
My husband puts his arms around,
My shoulders feel his warmth
A smile spreads instantly.
As our eyes meet
I say, I love you,
A sensory reaction
I fail to explain….
My personal diary is dusty and outdated.
Have shared with her everything;
A silent witness to my tantrums too.
She means not much to me now
Yet I cannot imagine parting;
As I look at her in the cabinet
I say, I love you,
A sensory reaction
I fail to explain….
A few days ago I got a mesh fitted
To keep the intruding pigeons away;
Yet they built a modest nest outside the kitchen
And the couple continued to live unaffected.
Annoyed though, I cannot stop feeding them
For the sheer joy of seeing them together.
As their eyes meet mine in fear
I say, I love you,
A sensory reaction
I fail to explain….

Assurance gathered
Albeit surety
Where do I go from here?
Hope rescued me
Strength challenged ‘myself’
I walk to life knowingly.
