Eclipsed

Twenty five years Of togetherness A pretty long duration Doesn’t it call for some celebration?” She looks at him for approval “Of course, it does But there’s the eclipse Demanding austerity You see. Can’t do anything Otherwise I too Wanted to raise a din” He responds She smiles.... Both looking in different ways At Fate's guile Celestial happening Or a terrestrial shadow Lurking in the background? Twenty five eclipsed With a dot in between A mere two and a half years Of knowing Can it really bring So much happiness Outweighing 25 years Of togetherness? She gets busy In household chores He too turns around Yearning for more..... Marital bliss intact After all Who knows the secrecy pact There’s the missing point Between two and five A beautiful joint.
