Je t'aime - III

By -


Voice, I heard his voice,
No, not from a distance, very near.
It could be my dream,
I didn’t open my eyes to look clear.
He rubbed his hand on my shoulder,
I flicked it away.
Thought it might be my friends,
Who tease me this way.
Left with no options,
He lifted me in his arms.
Then, I believed his presence,
As usual, I was smitten by his charms.
In this garden, I waited for him,
Through June, July, and August.
He kept his promise,
And returned to us.
I asked him, for my longings, my love,
Give me something true.
He got down on his knees, took the ring,
Proposed and said, 'I love you'.

    With all due respects, this wasn't quite as good as your other poems. This sounded more like a short story to me; the imagery and the emotions were lacking. It was also a little predictable. Not saying it was bad, but not quite as good as the last two of your posts that I read
    Peace

    @metagravity- Thanks Mi:)

    @Rohit Sareen- Thanks Rohit!

    @Nasnin Nasser- Just to tell you when I wrote the first poem of the sequel and named it Je t'aime, my desire was to use 'I Love You' as the last words of the last poem. When I managed to write what I wanted, I was really happy.

    Hi Saru , saw you on the top list on Indiblogger, so thought why not visit you again....read all the 3 parts of "Je t'aime" J'ai adoré tous vos poèmes

    I read this one again after reading the other 2, only then I could feel the emotions...The dilemma of the wife to wait or not to wait and then in the end all turns out well for true love because it was one of a kind and true...well written

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
