Lesson

When I see my reflectionIn the mirror hanging before me,
I see a different person -
From who I used to be.

How much have I changed
Just within a year!
I am utterly astonished,
But the changes were painful to bear.

I perceive how I have evolved -
A talkative, arrogant girl
Has been thoroughly replaced
By a humble, introverted girl.

The one who used to see
The faults in everything,
Has learned to observe the beauty
Even in imperfection and failing.

Is this how life teaches us!
Is this how we are ought to learn!
A laborious lesson as base,
To make a girl emerge as a queen!

Enchantment

After journeying through a tiresome lane,
I was on my cloud nine
When I lied over his chest,
And my cheek was pecked with each of his heart beat.
He soon fell asleep,
I drowned in my thoughts so deep.
How did I fall in love with him?
How did my heart went nim?
Was that his spell,
In which I fell?
Is it his twinkly eyes?
Or the freckles on his face?
Is it his charming smile,
That had brought me this mile?
Is it his mustache and beard,
That I have fallen for him weird?
Or his muscly arms,
That generously gives alms?
Or the way he walks,
The way he talks?
Is it the manner he narrates story
To relieve me from my worry?
Is it the way he cares me
When I am in dismay?
I have no reason to rationalize
Why I love my spouse.
With him, everything seems magical
And I am utterly enchanted under his spell.
