Michi's life journey
Destiny brought them together
In a marriage devoid of love
Yet this union was unique and special
For it was blest by the one above.
If his lover had not betrayed him
He never would have taken the step
Of seeking the hand of the damsel in need
As reciprocation for all his help.
Little did he know then that this indeed
Was the defining moment of their lives
The courses of which changed forever
As in each other's love they thrived.
But it wasn't smooth sailing at the start
As her past haunted him relentlessly
It did not help that his ex-lover did her best
To whip up the flames of his jealousy.
Over time she tamed the raging beast in him
Playing the dutiful wife to the hilt;
Her patience and care were the bedrock on which
Their pure love was slowly built .
Even before the base could be strengthened
His sister's past shook it to the core.
Ensnared in his wife's web of lies
He tortured her and she silently bore.
Thus, each ended up hurting the other,
And in turn were in greater pain
As they resided in each other's being
They were left feeling tortured and drained
After months of pain they finally found peace
When all misgivings were put to rest
By the innocent action of the babe who was
The cause of all their stress.
Having found their way back to each other,
Their union they wished to consecrate
By renewing the vows they had taken earlier
Under the duress of fate.
But the cruel fate intervened yet again
In the form of his half crazed ex-lover
They say hell hath no fury as a woman scorned
These words were just apt for her.
In trying to save his wife from her wrath
He fell prey to her dastardly act
Thus, they were once again driven apart
Before they could seal their pact.
His wife's prayers ensured he lived and breathed
But, alas, his memory of her is gone
Leaving him confused about their relationship
One moment he's happy, the other, forlorn.
Although he feels drawn towards her
He's unsure whether this is right;
Hazy images haunt him, which he tries to piece
Together, with all his might .
His wife is trying to do her best
By recreating the past for him
But nothing seems to work right now
The chances of his recovery seem slim.
Meanwhile we're told someone's after his life
Three attempts he has already met;
Although the finger of doubt points to her ex-lover
Nothing is certain as yet.
As the plot thickens we continue to wait
For our dear Jodi to reunite again;
All we can do is hope and pray
That we are spared of further pain.
P.S: Edited it to make it sound less like prose, though may not have been completely successful in this.
