GARMENTS

From the first tasleem exchanged
To the qabuul-an end to being estranged
Lies the rewarding journey
Of how erstwhile strangers
Came to be more than bare buddies
A love tale
To be kept in your chest of light-hearted memories
Never to grow stale

For the other you've become as garments
To offer alluring adornment
With loving warmth and safety
A source of pride and beauty
Let the historians add to the annals of history
As the poets pen in their poetry
That you held hands today
What a momentous May.


 In honor of a dear friend (Pharm Ibrahim Adebayo) & his heartthrob as they tied the knot on 28th May, 2016.
