Love As A Soldier's Wife

The diary she wrote in those days of the 90s

is still inside the bureau.

The love letters he wrote for her

is still inside the white cupboard drawer.

Though the time passed away,

But the love between them was still beautiful,

Though they are long distanced.

But their hearts still beat for each other...

All the sarees were stacked in her closet.

Just waiting for the day to wear for her soldier.

But destiny doesn't want to be so.

Instead, she was coerced to wear white sarees

While everyone was busy in karwachauth.

Her wedding henna was still there on her hands

When her soldier came wrapped in the tricolor flag.
