***
Suhas was waiting for Sabrina at the beach cafe
He could not let everything fade away
He wanted some answers and needed a closure
For he could not bear that this relationship was becoming a failure
If it needed to end, it will end today and she cannot shut him away.
Sabrina appears at the twilight,
And suddenly Sushas sees a ray of light
He looks into her beautiful eyes
Innocence, love, warmth he notice they comprise
And recalls how he fell for those eyes, yes it was love at first sight.
Pulling himself back to reality
He shook hands with her out of formality
He asks Sabrina for an explanation
Why she was ending this relation
Ending it on basis of a different religion seemed such abnormality.
Sabrina holds his hand, for she knows he is her addiction
Yet she has to leave for she cannot act out of her jurisdiction
She begs and pleads him to accept the truth
Tells him that there is no one to give them ruth
Alas, they have to depart for truth is stranger than fiction.

ReplyDeleteHi Ajnabi, thank you for liking my post :)
DeleteIt is so difficult to comprehend that even in this day and age, a union of two religions is still viewed as taboo. Our country has at long last come to terms with marriages between the North and the South, the East and the West, but we are still divided by caste and religion.
ReplyDeleteAn evocative, wistful poem. Touching!
Mixi (My BAT Entry)
Yes Mixi and sadly, this is true. Although there are a few couples who marry out of religion, a thing called society kicks them out and it's so-called norms haunts them and forces them sometimes to take extreme steps.
DeleteThanks, though for liking my post :)
its difficult to digest the fact that people still harvest this kind of view and consider it as a sin
ReplyDeletebut having said that I think if one makes the choice well aware of the situation, then it is being unfair to the other to back off at the twilight fearing the consequnces

DeleteA sad Truth; well expressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aativas :-)
DeleteTruth is that the indifference's are occurring with in same religion in perspective to crossing states/religions. Though the shadows are there everywhere but its truth that the nature of addiction kills other side like the way over confidence is drowned over confidence. In the climax part of justification without going into roots you just give sense of touch-ability in terms of understanding. Well written. ATB for BAT 37
