Love or Marriage

Richa Tripathi 1991 (Jhansi)



n the darkest hour, she lays on the bed,
Holding dreams under her shed,
Like she saw the blazing sun,
staying there not taking turn,

The love she yearned for all this while,
Marriage could not be the reason for her heart to shine,
In midnight, she wished for melting in his arms,
All he has to offer the words pouring out of wine,

Why is it so, she stood their with the plea,
When all she wanted just to flee,
If not for love, she set heart free,
To the land of her dreams,
To world of love, ...:

All she could do, was to pen down...
Hoping to find world where marriage is not the bar to fall in love or out of love!
