AT MY FRIEND'S WEDDING

AT MY FRIEND'S WEDDING;

-The make up room thoughts


Her lips pursed
In secret fear
Her eyes gleemed
In silent prayer;
She was shy; sleepy,
And her soul; with -
Its broken wings; was-
Chocked and crushed-
A thousand times.

-Yet she is
Neatly 'arranged'
In pretty pink
- meat colour
She is a perfect girl
Walks like lost in mist
Smiles like that ad bride
Yes! fair, homely , educated
Sweet, sexy, stylish.......

I pray for her;
I remember-
Her writings
Poems and paintings;
I pray for her ; -
Her friend forever
Be freethinking,
Fearless to face the
World with her.


I am lost among her
Flashy friends
I see their
Unseen wings -
Tied together
Their skies ; -
Limited in definite squares .
And I see chains -
Shiny , sticky
Delicate ; yet strong;-
'Precious', chains.


Back home ; I wash
Myself again and again
Fearing the web chains
May crawl up here ;
In my sleep -
I stretch my hands
To that blue sky
Where my dreams
Shine as stars
And touch the clouds
Where my wings
Are safely kept ....... .
