CONCERNED   (a story poem)

----------------------------------------

He loved her, so was concerned

as counselling did no good to her

about her mental agony

so deciding to bring her out of  shell.

He brought her to bridge on the river

sat on peripheral parapet wall

hand in hand trying to console her

he was at her beck and call.

But she was in oblivion

Mingled in her thoughts

Why me ? why me ? Oh God ! Why me ?

Her gibbering came to nought.

When water splashed on her face

out of stupor she came

she had heard a  noisy thud

now she was a frightened dame.

Stunned , not finding him

frantically she looked into the river

negative thoughts filling her mind

blank she went triggering her to rewind.

“She saw floating with him towards the crescent

The honeymooners making merry

And the life of fulfilment was so decent

She thought herself a fairy.

Sweet nothings and love bites of better half

His lovely jigs like a monkey to make her laugh

His sweet talks turning into birthday gifts

Teasing each other with genuinely looking fake tiffs.

Sitting near her bed when hospitalised

Bringing her cheer with roses  at her bedside

He was love, caring and affection personified

How could she undermine what he sacrificed ?

Recent miscarriage made her a depressed soul

But was he to blame ?

Nooooo

To keep her happy was always his goal.”

She became alive with tears rolling down

She shouted his name

time and again.

lo, she saw him coming out of the bush, laughing

blushing, she ran to his arm sobbing.

“Threw a big stone in the river to create a splash.”

Continued he, “ sorry dear, wanted to bring you

out of the crash.”

She held him tightly never to let go

“Forgive my love, I shall forget the loss.”

 She promised him so

 Both went home to live happily ever after

Story ends here

nothing more to write ,hereafter.
