A LOVE STORY

 

I know the beginning....
Of the story of a sad love....
But I wonder, who knows?.....
The end of this story......
 
The story which unfolds....
As a classic tragedy drama.....
Is transformed into reality.....
As the climax approaches.....
It becomes a narrative....
Of pains , hurt and tears.....
 
The heart sees the inner side.....
It cries....
It feels.....
and the pain of the story....
Pierces the tender heart....
 
This gloomy feeling.....
Feeling of brokenness....
of the fallacy of promises.....
Of the downfall of.....
The castles of dreams......
 
This story of the feeling....
Of brokenness, of pain.....
Has a beginning , but no end....
No one ever knows the end....
 
Beloved doesn't know.....
Neither does the heart.....
Nor the soulful eyes.....
Silent, stony and tired.....
They keep on waiting....
From dawn till dusk.......
 
An image transpires......
The pain in the eyes......
Touches the core of the entity.....
The throat chokes.......
And questions the inner self....
About the grave silence......
 
A demoralising helplessness......
Fills the heart with fear.....
With the ghastly shadows of death....
The silence screams woefully....
But no one cares to listen......
 
A sad, silent face..........
Full of agonising tears.....
It retells a painful story....
Starting with silence.....
containing sighs and sobs....
Ending in the Eternal wait......
