Still the One

Will you marry me?...enamored the deep gaze.
Twenty years ago , I mesmerised into your maze.
    
Razzled dazzled life, beleaguered in  myriad phase.
Pristine peace I found, hugged in your embrace.

Those quarrels and niggles, grudge, grin of grumble.
Those laurels and giggles, touch within was humble.                       
                                                        
Annoy of careless throws, those wet towels on bed.                               
I waited for your rose,...  that 'wow' you never said.

In silence reigned Love, so majestic like kings.
I grew strong in your arms, you flew high on my wings.
         
You're still the one...tentacled together.  
You're still the one...pinnacled forever.

The Trust of our old treasure...
Our love ?...How do we measure?
