55 Fiction # 20 ~ Compatible

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2016 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's.  Today's word is "C".

My theme is “Human Characteristics”.  Today I chose “Compatible”.

Holding hand in hand,

Together they walked the aisle,

Proclaiming vows,

They promised to include,

Faults and perfection without a feud,

One thing they found true,

Vibes felt were love that brew,

In while they knew,

Years gone by, once again they vowed,

In her inability to conceive they claimed,

She was (In)Compatible they proclaimed!

We have come to believe that in this progressive world of ours, gender equality has gained momentum and with women occupying highest positions across verticals and spheres it all hunky dory. However the staunch reality is even today even in educated middle class families, it’s the woman who is blamed for inability to bear the child without even trying to ascertain that it can be a problem with the man. Having said that it is just one amongst many things that the fairer sex still faces in our so called progressive society.

Strangers in the Night

Its morning, shouts the alarm!!!

In bed, I still lie calm

You are already in the bathroom

I’ve to use the other room

I’m ready, Oh my hair is not done

gelling the crop I also put perfume

You are in the car, I get

the aroma makes u hume

but to comment u resist

I feel my new cut, you notice

I want to insist,

but the urge to ask I dismiss

On way to work

Talking is a big task

Its been busy day

In the evening, how was the day

I wish, you ask

I come home, its

back to usual ritual

you give me ritual hug

I pour you coffee

in the usual mug

On your chest

my head I rest

our hearts are at mess

wish its just stress

all work and no play

god please bless this bed,

where strangers in the night lay

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 10; the tenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.

A long preparation and lots of rehearsals

had been done

Before the final day had come…

I knew she would say yes,

But still was a touch nervous…

I asked “will you divorce me”

She said “yes I will”

And finally I escaped…!!!
