She was my best friend,
My greatest strength,
My glowing crown.
I was her pride,
Her role model,
Her strongest man.
Oh! Look what I did,
I called him myself,
I judged him before her,
I approved him to her.
Ever since that nod,
I cannot talk to her,
I cannot hug her.
Standing from a distance,
I see her laugh,
I see her change,
I see her going away.
The man I found from million,
I no longer like him,
I so envy him,
I want to beg him,
Please don't do this.
Then I see her,
Demure as flower,
Soft ad angel,
Took the vows,
Going away finally.
She hugged everyone,
Oh no! I can not cry,
I would look even weaker,
My little princess-
How she has grown up!
I looked in his eyes,
I joined my hands,
I begged her to take care.
The pearl was about to fall,
When his hands stopped it.
He hugged me tight,
"Thank you!", he whispered.
"Believe me, I would be your best foe.".
My heart sank,
What have I done,
My love,
For my err.
It's my birthday today,
I fell alone,
She used to wish me first,
She used to kiss me tight.
I open the letter she sent -
"thank you papa,
You found the best man for me,
He makes me laugh,
He makes me love,
Above all,
He makes him your mirage!"
Crying and smiling together,
I Open the door,
Only to find him bringing to me,
Happy birthday papa - said them together,
Thanks my foe,
Thanks my friend.

Thanks Nimi...
Deleteheading to your blog
I liked the poem. It's quite funny. I'm not sure that fathers compete with their sons in law - it's always unspoken. I guess thats what makes it so funny, the fact that you've articulated it.
ReplyDeleteglad that you liked it.
DeleteI wrote it as the imagination, but the fact that papa stopped coming near to me during my courtship period is true...
