The Wedding Ring

I wrote this to get my message across to an acquaintance (woman) who couldn't accept the fact that I am married to an extremely wonderful man.

One may not wear the wedding ring,

Coz it does not prove anything;

What the heart and mind both feel,

Words will seldom ever reveal.

 

Who are we to intervene,

When we cannot see the unseen?

A couple’s love so deep and pure,

Even a blind man couldn't ignore.

 

Beneath the flawed surface lies;

A truth that cannot be denied,

This friendship, patience and loyalty,

That’s etched in the heart for all eternity.

 

Author's Note

Half asleep at 3 a.m. and this was what I came up with in less than five minutes. Marriage, to me is sacred and I think people should respect the married couple. They don't need anyone's approval or intervening, especially in the negative form.

A wife's sincere commitment , draws an acquaintance's resentment,
Never you mind, don't mind them ..they are playing a Sudoku game,
An acquaintance is someone you barely know...and not yet your friend.

everyone else wants to approve or disapprove of our relationships, marriages etc.

but we are the only ones who feel it, understand it...and even if it may not be good for us...perhaps we just have to experience these interactions...whether they are good for us or not...

the couple living in the marriage...they are the only ones who really count...they don't need others' approval to be happy.

[Charms]

You said it Jacob!!! The couple doesn't need anyone's approval but sadly some people don't think so.

Divine and inspiring.
But,a warning signal to jealous,perverted and promiscuous ones.
Congratulations,sacred heart!!!

Truth be told, there was this woman who stayed with us and tried to flirt with my husband... that is what inspired the poem. Of course, he ignored her but she has not stopped trying. Ah well! Nothing she can do about it. :) I guess that comes out in my poem. Thank you for your kind words, Zainul. I'm honoured.

Take it easy.
Your husband should be able to isolate the real gem from the fake ones.
Besides,your love must also charm your beloved person.
The perverted ones will be beaten and gone soon.

[Charms]

That's true Zainul. Sometimes silence is the best reply. :D

[zainul]

That's right.
You will win by your devotion as you said:
"This friendship, patience and loyalty,
That’s etched in the heart for all eternity." :D
