Togetherness

a poem by Jayati Chowdhury

With you I delved into a world-
A world of love and glory
Where humble expectations
Has turned to reality.

Love-struck souls, we were,
Unfurled our emotions
We had walked down the aisle
To say “I do”

My pulsating heart in you and yours in mine,
Passionate bodies entwined-
We would often drown in each other
Only to be bathed with rapture.

A bundle of joy-
Our tribute to each other.
Cradling the precious in our arms,
Dazed to see our creation!

Fog had often blurred our vision,
A tear drop razed it away.
With a smile, a hug and a kiss
We had kindled ourselves.

Rutted path we often had to tread on
Stabbed with anguish we still moved on
Love and being loved- our solace
We triumphed over all odds

Welded with love and integrity
Relishing the warmth of togetherness
You and I embraced in the arms of ecstasy
Our journey continues…
