love a man who listens...

By -
love a man who listens
your worries, your silence, your dreams
love a man who knows
what having you means

hold and kiss his rusty hands
they will build you a castle so big
his sweat and love will shine through
brick by brick

love a man who speaks
his feelings, his pain, his fears
love a man who wants to be with you
years after years

soothe his parched soul gently
weave a silken knot-free bond
your relation will sail high tides
be ever so strong

love a man who sees
through your fake smile
love a man who cares
to hold your hand for a while

no riches will tempt you
glittery-shiny-gold-white
he will be there for you
morning, noon and night

    Right Saru, will choose such rusty hands and a parched soul anyday over all the riches in the world !

    Don't know.

    I thought I was like that. Then I got married. Now I don't even listen to what my conscience says. Hahahah.

    Very beautiful! And, as Amit said... Wish all women (read my wife in my case) thought that!

    This is a lovely, romantic poem. Really when anyone gets such a man, no jewels can ever look tempting! The love itself becomes a precious jewel then :)

    Love advice in verse.
    So sweet.

    My favourite stanza :
    love a man who sees
    through your fake smile
    love a man who cares
    to hold your hand for a while

    Love that part!

    Nice, Saru. :)

Rewind - September 2023

 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.
