"Wed-knock"

A friend reminded me today
Of what life has in store for me,
One quarter has passed
Another lying out there, free..

Why IT should happen
When is it right,
Questions haunt me like confusions
But the answers are out of sight!

All the couples
Snug in each others arms,
Only make me fearful
Of the dangerous calm ..

It must come, yes it must
The word is everywhere,
Seems like everyone around the corner
Are messengers for mum, I swear! [forgive me mother!]

Conversations many, conclusions none
I reckon I don't have a clue,
The person seated next to me in the plane
Seems to know why I must too..

Someone explain them
Get it drilled in my head too
You're not a wedding planner, nor my mum
So find something more useful to do..

There isn't a way out
The knock gets harder, loud
Running towards each corner
I keep going round..and round..

I'm glad you are convinced
But it's not my time yet
I'll marry the first thing I'm attracted to
That is my bestest bet!

Ah well, to those who are happy
To the best things in their lives,
I raise a toast to my married [or to-be married] darlings
And their poor wives..;)

[Special mention to my mum, my granny, other random relatives, Mrs kaul from the plane and the cabbie who got me home tonight, without whom this piece would have been impossible to create!]

Whatever boat/plane you're on, I'm on the same one, sistah!

=)Glad you posted in poetry what I do in prose.
