A Forced Marriage Poem by MOLOY BHATTACHARYA
A Forced Marriage
Very bluntly he says
He loves her not
Not even like her.
She is not smart,
Not looks attractive,
A feeling he bears
In his heart for long
For the girl
He is going to marry
He is forced to marry.
For certain criteria
Of her that he likes
He spoke to the girl,
And confessed his secret
As a bow shot from arrow
The innocent girl
Looks at him in surprise.
Both are unknown
To each other
Settling for a life,
Vowed to spend together.
He plays no cupid,
Not inclined to woo her
No hang-outs.
No phone calls.
One by one
His day advances
For a grand finale
That he mentally eschews
But physically not.
Thus with mutiny
In his mind
He is going to marry
He is forced to marry.
Forcing one to marry a person whom one does not feel attracted to or fascination for, is denying the spiritual nature of love. Forced marriages are crimes against romantic love. A well articulated piece of poetry written with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
It is the fate of many an arranged marriage, that too, at an age when the couple is emotionally not mature enough. You have beautifully treated the subject, Moloy. Thanks.
