Ode To Marriage!

Day 5: Map, Ode, Metaphor

My Day 5 Assignment, I am late I know, but being with my siblings in the weekend is a huge excuse I can give! 😉 This is a first time trying an Ode and till now have only read them! Here I have tried to write an ode to Marriage, from perspective of a bride-to-be! 😉 I hope this is good enough! Please do give me your valuable feedback! I truly  appreciate each comment you provide, as it encourages me on the go to write! 😀 I know metaphor is something missing! But I just couldn’t find a way to fit it in! 😦

Standing at the doorstep,

Tears welled up in my eyes,

Thinking about my past, yep!

Locations I have pinned and the why’s!

---

Standing before me was a stranger,

With promises to never part!

Before us was a long road out of danger

Hopes filling the map to start!

---

Beside me came the sweet and sour memory,

Nostalgias asking me to stay!

Behind me stood the most precious gems, my family

Waiting with the final parting words, in dismay!

---

Looking into the eyes of my groom,

Fear, I noticed in them flicker by!

Quivering he lead me through the door, vroom

Trying hard to keep his face dry!

---

In my blood red bridal wear determined,

I took in a deep breath!

Decided to face this new journey with my hubby combined,

To make a new map along the journey until put to death!

---

My map of life is already written,

By One above the seven heavens!

Pinning along I have to move not frost bitten,

But smiling through the journey which is the strongest weapon!
