Second Chance

For my lovely wife on her birthday!

I was captivated once in labyrinth of lies,

Neither could I feel mosquito bites or harassment of flies.

Second innings of romance never looked on cards,

I had accepted defeat and spent time with retards.

First eyes met and then hand in hand,

Free from pain you appeared as special friend.

Days went by and love blossomed with time,

Life was wonderful again, heart was singing rhymes.

Our life now consolidated has given birth to a life,

Still my love has never ceased my dear wife.

Today again that day of year has come,

Day you were born on earth; let’s have cake and rum.

Together we will age and experience will grow,

We will visit monuments, mountains and snow.

My last wish if permitted and asked today -

"None that remains, we are already together each day."

not fond of the usage of the word "retards"

but i like the rest...and as Devanshi said...some articles in spots needed to smooth it out.

but heartfelt...especially with the idea of expecting the worst because of past relationships and then being so presently surprised by someone who comes along who is different...who really cares and gives...and this poem gives back.

Its always great to get up after falling down...Expression of frustration in the initial lines and turning into a mellowed tone later, portrays the shift of emotions in the new relationship. A poem written very nicely. Keep writing.

Beautiful poem! Lovely and captivating!! The words rhyme beautifully too! I think this is the best of all your other poems I've read!! So congratulations!! Some lines need an article and one or two of the lines need a comma. That's all in the improvement section, I LOVED IT!!! Great work, keep it up!!
