POETRY ICONS: POETESS MRIDULA MENON'S PAGE: 3

ARE MARRIAGES MADE IN HEAVEN?

Have you ever thought
Love marriages alone can thrive?
Have you ever thought
Arranged marriages are all failures?
Marriage
Be it love or otherwise
Can only bloom and blossom
If it is also a marriage of two minds
A union of two hearts
Respecting, sharing, adapting
Thus creating space for love to grow.
Marriages may be made in Heaven
If in destiny you believe
Yet, the partners in marriage
Who make it heavenly or beastly .
Everything lies within the minds
Their attitudes, their perceptions
All to be taken in its stride
Expectations sure, there will be
Disappointments close on its heels
Making an amalgam
Of your appointments
Of your disappointments
Learn to create a life
Firm on the founadation of love,
Of sharing and understanding.
