Reality Speaks

In the dance of vows and ancient plea,

You're not mine till dowry sets you free.

A sum exchanged, a bond made strong,

Responsibility, a melody, a lifelong song.

But in the realm of dreams, let's dare,

Imagine dowry, a coin in the air.

Yet reality speaks, a different decree,

In this imagined world, where I remain free.

Raindrops fall, a poetic gust,

Yet in the hearts of pessimists, still, they trust.

Through storms and dust, their vision clear,

An ironic twist, in love's atmosphere.
