Hands outstretched she walks ahead. <br />In marriage of convenience he follows. <br /> <br />Trailing behind are children of hers, <br />Uncared, unattended, unsung, unknown. <br /> <br />In brisk steps all are hurry catching up time. <br />Blind folded unmindful she treks fast. <br /> <br />Some where on path he takes detour, <br />chewing lady’s finger to taste of his palate.. <br /> <br />Times change, seasons rotate in order, <br />life treads holding scoop of dripping ice cream cone <br /> <br />Son retires hurt sleeps in poppy field. <br />World reels falling round his eyeballs. <br /> <br />Daughter answers her ringing handset. <br />find stars fall off sky, her dreams too <br /> <br />World has changed, women on path to heights. <br />High on inflated ego balloon floats aimlessly. <br /> <br />Womb she wore her off springs fall off grace. <br />On look back she found her vanity lying low. <br /> <br />She tries to communicate suddenly, <br />But nothing works, call is in the queue. <br />__________________<br /><br />Satheesan Rangorath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-look-back-once-in-a-while/
