With patience she waited
Till her heart was lit
With the passions of love
For the one and only Soul Mate
Out of several other suitors
A partner to tread life’s uncertain journey with.
In her mind’s eye she’ld see a future
A future filled with joy,
hopes and fulfillment of cherished dreams
All with her beloved Soul Mate
And, face to face with him
Her heart will start throbbing
and yearning and craving
To be in his waiting arms
Arms that would hug and swarm all over her
And hands that would grip her with cautious firmness
Caressing, cuddling and squeezing her
passionately and affectionately
To subdue her raging passions
And quench her emotional thirst.
Soon this Soul Mate she trusted
Without doubt, without fear
And her all she gave –
heart, mind, body and spirit
And to the altar they both walked
To recite some prepared vows
And be blessed, not cursed.
With observers and prying eyes all gone
And left all by themselves
To the honey moon they went
With hopes still high, and passions inflamed
Her golden gate she opened
For his triumphant entry
A journey had begun
And the nights were long.
In the first year they whispered and smiled
In the second year they teased and giggled
In the third, they argued and shouted
By the fifth, they were ranting and raving
Thereafter it was whining, nagging and curses
All with the once beloved Soul Mate
And finally, there was separation
Amid resentment and hard feelings
From one to the other Soul Mate.
