Nuptials Carved By Our Parents

Those lovely little precious moments Moments we shared and treasured like two lovely doves Doves that had fallen freshly in love Love which had been nurtured over a long period of time Time which had been kept assiduously by our bountiful parents Parents who had been looking forward to this Nuptials Nuptials planned since our conception in their wombs Wombs that had born and bred other siblings Siblings who had failed to grant them their heart desires Desires they expect that we shall grant under any circumstance Circumstances which we can no more bear and tolerate Tolerate and bear circumstances like their constant nagging Naggings which are gradually becoming a nuisance to our ears Ears that have had to put up with these nonsensical demands Demands which we are slowly hearkening to To make them happy and satisfy their bitter souls Souls that have not rested in many years Years that have seen them hope to make this combination Combination of their seeds in order to continue the family friendship bond

I love that this is a commentary on tradition ... it provides the anthropological moment for a student. Thanks for reading my poem and for identifying. Somebody told me the cat is not a cat, so be careful, my friend. One love.

To be put together in an arranged marriage would not be the greatest way for one to live their lives in some instances..Enjoyed reading your work..Sara
