(Based on the life of a family friend whose wife became visually impaired at the age of 44 and abandoned by the two sons) <br /> <br />Is it the price of my looking? <br />Every moment of my life <br />In every movement of the multitude <br />Seeing the world in your eyes, my fulltime job! <br /> <br />Entering a world unheard of <br />Honeymoon opening the gates of treasure <br />Flooding of passions all along <br />No dearth of kindness in the world of ours <br />Making explorations of all the parts <br />We settled for the family way <br />Brighter days rolling into years <br />Dwelling in tranquility <br />Your love and mercy gifted me a son <br />Hitting the sky in boundless joy <br />I thanked you profusely <br />Another gift another son! <br /> <br />Eclipse settled setting darkness <br />Though clear to outward view of blemish <br />Bereft of light, seeing forgotten <br />Jealousy of the world shut your vision! <br /> <br />A stone in the midst of birds <br />Sufficient to drive them far away <br />Heirs of our kingdom vanished valiantly <br />Thanks to the education we imparted <br />And the soul felt love you injected into their veins! <br /> <br />Potentialities of blindness <br />Eye for an eye leading to more blindness <br />Gods give men all good things <br />Except the baneful and injurious <br />Have you stumbled into darkness? <br />Or is it the folly of the Gods? <br /> <br />Our love can never die a natural death <br />God created the replenishing source <br />Reminiscing the love in the loved rejoices <br />Yours cannot be house of night <br />I am your light holding the candles <br />The body, which inflamed my lust <br />Is dressed by me, a different exploration now <br />Nature bereaves the fate’s favorite child <br />I will weave your enchanted dreams <br />Wild and bright with the vignette of colors <br />You may lack the use of your eyes <br />I shall not let you feel lack of vision!<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-a-husband-with-love/
