Zodiac Curse
She met him in her college year
Fascinated by a painting in an art show
She did not even notice
The artist was standing behind her
Her admiration for his talent
Was met with his for her beauty
They common interest in art
Brought them together
At his graduation
He proposed to her
She happily accepted
But their commitment
Was challenged by
The disapproval of parents
From both sides
Owing to the conflict
Of their Chinese zodiac signs
His tiger and her snake
Were not just incompatible
According to folklore
It could be a curse
If they get married
She had never been so bold
Defying her parents’ order
And decided to elope with him
They ran away from their hometown
To live in a foreign land
After few years of hardship
Their parents finally accepted them
When their baby was born
Half century has passed
They are still happily married
True love wins over superstition
This is the story of my aunt
