"MADE FOR EACH OTHER"

Me, a chatterbox;
He, very concise and
Precise;
A man of few words.

My mood changes
Like moon;
He is equipoised
And no extremes.

I am an extrovert
No break to my talk!
He an introvert,
Thinks and talks.

My love towards him
A chronic ailment;
My heart fully
Addicted to his heart.

He never minds
My madness and
Doesn't get irritated
With my childish acts.

He is sooo sweet
Like a small kid.
I adore him to the
Power of infinity.

Have you anywhere
Seen such a wonderful
Perfect couple
A lovely combination of
Madness and maturity?

" TEMPLE "

I built a temple
With best stones
Available and
Made it look
Wonderful by
Intricate carvings!

I thought you will
Definitely come there
To stay!
But alas! I was wrong.
I never saw you there.

I built a temple
Inside my heart
With a strong foundation
Of love and devotion
And patiently waited
For you there.
To my delight,
I saw you there
Seated on the throne
Of my heart
With your mesmerising smile
And I felt a blissful joy
Inside me.

Now, I am very happy to have
Built a real temple within me
Wherein I can love you
Without any inhibitions
And I have the freedom
To deny also.

Oh my beloved Lord,
Thank you
For enabling me to
Translate your language
Of silence and
Through that
I know myself.

" AWAKE "

Oh!
My dear soul!
Rise and run,
Murmur
To unfold the
Immense petals of
Boundless,
Measureless
Space
That has
Engulfed you.

" SUN- SEA "

Your sizzling rays
Arouse my passions
The whole day!

Suddenly,
You embrace me
With your golden rays
And I become standstill
Contented in the
Beauty of your
Profound silence.

Those eyes
Watching us
At this hour
Feel that ecstasy
Within themselves
Standing speechless
On the bridge!!

" RIDDLE "

I myself an enigma
To myself;
Feel two contrast 'selfs '
Dwells within me.

I am both attached and
Detached.
My heart overflows
With love
To all in the vicinity.
At times I feel
I don't know what
It is to love?

I get alongwith people
Very well;
Yet feel a loner inside.

Gentle and soft
In some matters;
Tough to deal with
In few matters!

I am both passionate
And platonic
In matters of heart.

Can anybody see the
Truth in this seeming
Absurdity?

" EARTH - SUN "

Eversince I am born
He is my best friend.
I cannot live without him.

He is so tender and warm
At the break of dawn;
My day will not start
Without greeting him.

He is a ball of fire at noon
When I don't dare to see him
Nor go near him.

Slowly he cools down
And give me a smile
With his blushed face!
I feel so happy to see him
And start talking to him
Through my heart
In golden silence.

Don't question me
Further than this
For it is only sweet nothings
Which we two only understand!!!

I am just a dot
Inside the universe
That has fully engulfed me!
Still I try to understand
All that with my sensitive
Thought vibration!!

"DELECTATION"

Oh my beloved,
May be,
I am not the only one
To you!
Still I feel great
To have you
In my heart!
To my delectation
You cafune my soul!

You are the apotheosis
To my heart's passionate
Sensations
That yearns to express
In different ways.

In your presence
My mind will be in equipoise
But the words it had planned
To utter, hung back and
Earthly music combined with
The divine flows between us
In harmony!!!

"MELODY"

The harmony of notes
In my soulful song
Finds eternity
In the ambience!!

"YARD -STICK"

Do not count
Our life span
By years,
Instead,
Count it with
That immeasurable
Melodius song
Of love
That we sang
All these years!!!

"SIMPLE"

Truth is very simple;
Lies need make-up!

My Lord is lovingly simple;
His praisers are not!

I hear my beloved's voice
In the silent twinkling of stars;
Whispers of breeze;
Murmers of leaves!!e

Each one is a flower
Blossomed from the
Hidden roots!!

Your divine song
Create ripples
In my heart's river and
The waves of my passion
Dance to your tune!!!
I make merry
Participating in your
Cosmic dance!!!

"I NEVER GIVE UP"

Yes, I am an woman
With rainbow colours
Both in and out!

You can't stop me blooming
By abusing,
Inhibiting,
Exploiting by
Beliefs and traditions
Combined with selfish motives!

I am an embodiment of all
That is divine!
I can create, sustain and
Love like my creator!

I can bear man's innumerable
Physical and mental tortures
And yet have the ability to
Forget, forgive and stand up
Again with a challenge!

I play different roles with ease;
Am a multi-task expert;
Can do many things
Which a man cannot do!

I am an angel to those
Who love and respect me
For what I am;
A demon to those who torture!

A man may defeat my body
By his physical strength
But never can win over
My mind and heart without
The fragrance of genuine feelings!
My mind or heart is not for rent,
Mind it!!
I always keep it with me.

I am not a butterfly to play with;
I am the beautiful flower instead!
I am very much subtler than
What you think of me.
I am the personification of love
The pure essence of creation!!

"IS MARRIAGE A BUSINESS?"

Dead silence in the bed room.
Both Suma and Vivek stood there like strangers. Suddenly breaking the silence, Suma took out her gold necklace with black beeds and a marriage badge ( considered to be sacred since it is tied by the bridegroom during marriage rituals) and her dimond ring given by him at the time of their wedding and placed it before him. This was quite unexpected and a shocking situation to him and he faced his wife with a perplexed look.

"Just because of these ornaments relationships do not survive. Our bondage is not as strong as one link of this chain. Our relationship is a very big lie. For you it was a matter of licence  to satisfy your lust. But, I don't think so! For me, it is an extension of my heart's love. I cannot remain here like a prisoner and work like a maid servant. From this moment I am free from this relationship of lie and slavery".

Saying this, Suma moved towards the door and stopped hearing Vivek speak.
"Why should we break up for the problems created by a third person?"
Hearing this, a faint smile crossed on her lips. She talked to herself.
" When I am moving out, this man is talking as if he has not done anything. Since five years I am living here like a third person. Where was this relationship all these years? He is the same person who demanded lakhs and lakhs of Rupees to please his parents and warned me that nothing remains between us. Now he is talking as if very innocent. Who knows about this man much better than me? Fear of losing family prestige is compelling him to talk like this.
But I don't care anymore. I am leaving him for ever"
Talking within herself in these lines, Suma told Vivek:
"See Vivek, I am not in a position to answer any of your questions. Before going I want to make my point very clear. Married life is not a child's play. It is not a business dealing. It is a bondage of love that brings two hearts and their families together on emotional grounds. It is not a logic. Life is like a balancing scale. If you want harmony in life the two balancing plates should be of equal weight.You should balance it with love; not with money! Otherwise this would be the outcome. You are solely responsible for this unfortunate
situation. You think through your mother's brain. How can you take a firm decision when you dont know what actually you need in life? Now, there is nothing left to advice or explain.
I am capable of living on my own earnings unlike you! I don't need anything that identifies me with your name. So I have returned these ornaments. These things have value only when there is love between us. But, when it has become a business dealing these symbols of relationship lose its meaning. You are free to marry any woman who can meet your demands. Ok I am going; good bye Mr.Vivek!!"

With these words Suma opens the door and goes out without even glancing at him.
Watching this courageous act of that lady the socalled social system of marriage began to think where it went wrong!!!
