Mamta Agarwal - Sonnet 2

As Cupid’s arrow strikes your heart
Before you know hormones are in motion,
You are blissfully unaware of faults
At that time you have no clue or notion,
Love is not merely gazing in other’s eyes.
There are many milestones to be covered,
In order to survive the test of time.
Refrain from making other feel smothered.
Ignore each other’s quirks with humour,
To build an easy harmonious equation.
Thus there won’t be any place for rancour,
Home will be full of love and compassion.
For when you tie the knot in sacred bond,
It binds two souls with a tender chord.
