A PAIR OF TOE-RINGS
A PAIR OF TOE-RINGS
A metallic touch,
On the toes' it felt.
Detachment from its root,
Stretching of hands,
A new phase of life,
A pair of toe-rings...
Born to a family,
Fragmented into two;
Tinkling in the tender ears of time.
The ring of trust,
The ring of commitment,
The bond of two hearts,
Stepping into a utopic canvas.
Piling of responsibility,
Adherence to duties,
Locking down the wants,
Roaming in her secret gardens...
Hardening of toenails,
Gnarled feet,
But an everlasting metal glint
In the fabric of conjugal life.
An eternal journey,
From a palanquin to pyre,
A pair of toe-rings...
