Met only once



Met only once

I met her only once
 That was by pure chance
 Love was to be at first sight
 I was quite puzzled but felt it right

 She was supposed to be my woman
 Exactly same as wanted by any man
 I went for it to join and celebrate
 I had no control over joy to relate

 “Will she say yes”? I searched for an answer
 I was not sure about it in any case
 I knew from inner corner that she may consent
 Else may be the reason for whole of life to repent

 I was told by elders many times even
 The pair is decided in heaven
 We are just here by chance
 It takes place even in our absence

 Whatever may be the case but I enjoyed
 Her appearance gave me cause to be overjoyed
 It was to be my luck at few steps away
 There was bright chance to fond the way

 I jumped on feet to receive the news
 She was in for it and had known my views
 Where was I to go now and openly express?
 I looked at sky and thanked with shine on face

She asked for hand and readily agreed
It was almost invited to greet
I did held hand with shaky start
But after all she was to be my life's part

I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems.
