Poetry

1. AFTER MARRIAGE
Before marriage she used to keep me handsomely like a king on her lids; dancing
them every now and again to rejuvenate my overwhelmingly harried senses,
While after marriage she hardly opened her eyes; kept sleeping like an untamed
monster all day; despite the most passionate of my appeals.
Before marriage she harbored me like the most prized ring on her finger; scrubbing it
umpteenth number of times with the ointment of her sensuous love,
While after marriage she locked her ornament in her dilapidated rusty safe; leaving me
in the realms of obsolete oblivion to contend with the dust and demons.
Before marriage she possessed me like a cherished rose in vase of her heart;
harnessing me with the crimson blood that flowed profusely through her veins,
While after marriage she ruthlessly ripped me apart; left me to decay with the stinking
pile of garbage and the sweeper blowing me in nonchalant disdain; with the bristles of
his threadbare broomstick.
Before marriage she chanted my name infinite times in a single minute; refraining to
commence any activity without its irrefutably sacred presence on her lips,
While after marriage she stared like a complete stranger into my innocuous eyes;
austerely asking who I indeed was with an unheard abuse.
Before marriage she offered me a place to sit; even if that meant that she stood for
mind-boggling hours on the trot,
While after marriage she sat on top of me with her battalion of fat friends; started to
thunderously laugh without the slightest of gasp or respite.
Before marriage she remained starved till the time I didn’t eat; famishing her dainty
persona to unprecedented limits till the moment I fed her the first morsel of food
with my very own fingers,
While after marriage she finished breakfast; lunch; dinner at a single shot; made me
run for my life before she decided to set her gigantic intentions on my robust skin.
Before marriage she hummed mesmerizing tunes in my ear before I went off to sleep;
blessing my dreary countenance with divinely reinvigoration and celestial peace,
While after marriage she woke me the very next instant with her volcanic flurry of
snores; commanded me to stand guard on the shivering gate to guard her until
she awoke sometime past brilliant afternoon.
Before marriage she bathed under the heavenly springs; adorned her neck with the
most stupendously scented flowers; to astonishingly take my breath away from its
very roots,

2. While after marriage she kept stubbornly lying like a corpse at one place; ordering me
to snap the flies wandering past her month long unwashed cheeks.
Before marriage she imprisoned me in her breath like the most precious jewel that
ever existed; immortally holding me close to her chest as it rose and fell
harmoniously; in blissful tandem with the wind,
While after marriage she blew me away like a speck of inconspicuous dirt; attaching a
price tag to my neck for auctioning me in the commercial junkyard.
Before marriage she kept compassionately kissing me till eternity; igniting dormant
infernos in my visage to leap upto the fathomless sky,
While after marriage I made a dash for safer havens with my tail beneath my legs; as I
sighted the entire jugglery of kitchen forks menacingly tighten in her hands.
And Before marriage she made me feel like the King of the Universe; applauding me
insurmountably even for the most blatant blunder that I might have committed,
While after marriage she gave her heart to the stone miserably wailing on the streets;
wholesomely kept me only to convert it specially for her; into a fountain of new life .
