another random poem...

I'm working on something which I would like to say is my best works of art so far...and while I am drafting it, I found myself looking at some "not so bad" ideas. Not penning them down would be a tremendous waste of time, thoughts, paper and effort so I'm simply posting them on here....
I hope to be done with the final draft of what I am working on (though it does not even remotely resemble what I started out with) sometime next month....
But meanwhile, this is something else I have come up with.....
THE VEIL
She pulls that veil over her head,
Eager to drape the emotion that lies beneath,
What her damp eyes shout out, what the contours of her visage pronounce,
Ready to take her vows and accept what is to her been bequeath.

“This is not what should have been, but this is what must be now,
This is what I must adopt, for what better have I to offer anyhow?
Un-enthusiasm justifies not, not doing something one ought,
For what you stumble across just might be something you unknowingly and silently always sought.”

“Is what I have come to accept, something I subconsciously always believed in?
For my numbness voices neither resistance nor denial,
But I want not sympathy, pity or condescension,
For this is what I chose to do, without any two thoughts or apprehension.

Veil over her head, the responsibility of facing consequences of her acts on her shoulders,
She sets out to do what’s apparently right,
For unless time shows here otherwise,
The life she knows will continue to possess moments serene, fulfilling and bright.
