An Elegy

And then she asked

dumbstruck,

Do you really wanna to marry me ?

Are you sure

your destiny  wanna  ferry me ?

He smiled reassuringly 

Yes !!certainly, My lady love!

 for sure

 I am struck by your  beauty

 but  you are kind 

 caring 

and a bit lonely, my lovely dove !

But.... but ....

you know me not !

She cried !!

I do ... 

though a little ...

He sighed !

Though I donot lie 

but I hide the truth !

O Leave it, my lady

for its love, 

and love is sooth!

and they tied wedlock 

on a wilful night 

but the sinister fate 

took another plight 

And then began 

a painful spiel 

when she  threw open  

 her hideous wounds 

that were 

always in veil !

shocked  dismayed 

repulsive he felt  

 filled with contempt 

with her he dealt !

She bid him 

adieu goodbye

promised him 

that she would never 

cross by !

In silence 

profusely she bled 

in part and whole 

Through her  Wounded

mind  body and soul 

Yet with her warm eyes 

and   heart of lead   

she lives a life  

in the city of dead !

with the folded hands 

she kneels and prays 

Lord!!  Show  your light

when all is dark and gray !!

She pray to HIM

Please Heal me Lord !

O protect O protect  

from the untoward !!

May Lord be Praised !
