The Tragedy of Love
It was a nice sunny and beautiful morning,
And cool wind was blowing into my face.
I had finally found the girl of my dreams,
One could guess by my slow jolly pace.
Everything in the world and all things around me,
Seemed perfect and simply wonderful,
Was it because of her dreamy eyes, silky hair,
Or her skin so smooth, lips so full?
It simply didn’t matter to me any more,
Now I knew I had found my motivation in life.
I would aim for the stars, at least reach the moon
If not for myself, it’ll all be for my to be wife.
But what has happened yesterday…
Why did everything come to a standstill???
Was it her fault that she married someone else???
But she had said she had loved only me…
From the bottom of her heart…
Then why did she leave me??? I don’t know…
I could see truth in her eyes…
She wasn’t crying while she was leaving her home
But she started weeping just the moment our eyes met…
I was lost then in the in the happy crowd
I had never worked so much in my life
I knew I was running against time but…
I had a goal, just one goal then…
All I cared was for was her happiness
She could just come and tell me once…
Just that moment I was struck by a thought
It was never an eternal bonding she sought
She couldn’t tell her parents, but had she fought
It would’ve been the chance I would have got
I could plead and beg for time that I dearly sought
I would have happily left her if they had agreed not
I could still love her then, even without the nuptial knot
Usual love tragedies that written, read, told and taught
Are just traps of fantasies in which are minds are caught
Lovers there at least tried, and inspiration they brought
But by not giving me that chance, my life’s just a nought
No matter what happened to me, I wont give what I got
I request you my dear friends, please love truly what you ought
Give one chance; tragedy of love is what even one of us want not.

This is a naïve attempt to match words and rhyme with chaos and order in the mind…

Violet, the irony of life is that the same happened to me a year later... thanks a lot for your appreciation... you did realise its a mammoth task for me to create rhyme :-)
