My Hero!


In the holy serene eternity, stood the Lord in midst of blue magnificent feathers,
                Kindness unleashed, deepest insight beholding, rendering blessings in my favours.
There came the hero, with his captivating looks, yet so gentle,
                Exchanged side looks irresistible, an effervescent personality, yet so humble.
I sat beside him, to have a word or two,
                He gave subtle answers to all that I was wanting to ask to,
“Yes” said the Hero and asked if it is a yes too,
                I chose not to answer to this one, asked for time to be sure “it’s you”.
“Sure” said the Hero and he bid me bye,
                Though things seemed lucid, confused felt I.
Days passed by, but the rendezvous stood there,
                Though it was our first, not the first time we’d shared.
Had talked over the phone, a couple of days before,
                A brief narrative autobiography, but was not enough for us to know more.
Why should it wait, felt the hero, took his phone,
Reached out for my number, no hesitations, took me as his own.
With a pleasant musical note, displayed my cell ‘Hero calling’,
                But I, what a fool, didn’t mind, made him feel so appalling.
I did talk after days few, solemnly did he reply,
                No warmth in my words he knew, still me he could never deny.
‘Yes’ said I to him, and came the day of betrothal,
                Fervent feelings though devoid, could find no reason for refusal.
Happiness overwhelmed within, and did he start calling me with names pet,
                Too early for me to mingle close, “wait” said I, “not your girl yet!”
I could not see the inside of him, just went by what he portrayed,
                Misleading were his talks on occasion, though could’ve ignored, a wrong picture had I started to laminate.
Each day would our talks end in misunderstanding, with no faults on either,
                ‘Is he the one I wanted?’ ‘Is she the girl I wanted?’, intricacies grew, the bonding seemed weaker.
But the Hero heard a voice from within, decided to give me more time to understand,
                ‘She’s a loving girl deep inside’, the Hero could never think of leaving my hand.
He planned to treat me special, called to say ‘I’m here in your office to meet you’,
                I cut his call, busy was I, he kept waiting I would call back, which didn’t turn true,
He’d left a message in my inbox, which I noticed an hour later,
                I went down to the reception; saw him waiting on the couch, reading a newspaper.
He gifted me things beautiful, but his love I did not realize,
                Though I expressed words grateful, gave him pain, telling “Nothing much in it for a surprise”
I broke his heart again and again, and the Hero beared it all,
                The fallacies I’d succumbed to, I criticized I teased, but still in his eyes did I stand tall.
He said he likes the innocence in me and with love wants to hold my hand,
                “I too can say those magical three words only when I feel it”...”I’ll wait” said he, indeed what a gentleman!
Day by day heard wisdom and folly quarrel inside, and eventually did positive feelings augment,
                He has always stood by my side, of my insanity in spite; I, when realized, began to lament.
I chose to move closer with him, and then could I feel what his heart said in its every beat,
                In the comfort I gave, he opened up, and then I realized, all my expectations meet.
Soon he had to move abroad, for the bread and butter, and of course the penny,
                A void I started feeling in his absence, and clever Love attacked in its own ways many.
Day by day I realized more, how badly had I hurt him,
                Wisdom laughed upon folly, I apologized, “need not” said he, and I felt his love within.
‘Time and tide waits for none’, neither does Love to get expressed,
                But couldn’t gather courage enough, hence left him a message, as with Love was I obsessed.
He couldn’t bear the ecstasy, ‘I love you’ when he read out of the blue,
                “You made my day” called he back “Me too, how much I bet you have no clue”.
The days seemed to pass slow, and to see each other were we restless,
                Six months had passed since we first met on the go, but the wait for day of his return seemed endless.
In the holy serene eternity, stood the Lord in midst of blue magnificent feathers,
                Finally came back the hero and kissed me, I thanked Lord for doing me all favours.
“Mistake it not as lust” said he, tender words of love lips began to utter,
                Fervent feelings overwhelmed, let me not tell what and end the story for reader’s better.
