An Acrostic to the Groom

Original Submission by Siliveru Arun Kumar

Bachelors it was when we three first met,

Halt was never written in the dictionary of time. Yet,

Aligning ourselves with the three hands of callous clock,

Riding beneath the tyrannical reign of time,

Gathering together the billions of scars,

Advancing through countless hazards with steadfast resolve, we

Vitalized our spirits through several sober shenanigans.

Pain and glory, woven into the fabric of our story,

Ushered us to the luminous gates of triumph.

Rushing into life was never our option;

Undoing the time can never happen.

Sailed undaunted through rivers of highs and lows,

Harvesting crops amid weeds and thorns.

A romance shall soon uplift the soul of one among us,

Rare mateship soon to be renewed with remarkable fragrance,

Understanding life is the only way to journey through it,

Nature, in its quiet wisdom, restores balance through the love's entrance.
