Burning alone on the pyre of love,
He recalled those close moments.
He sat there, gazing at the moonless sky, thinking,
Why she went away?
Memories that haunt him now brings back that moment,
When he weltered in agony and told her,
"I love pain, it keeps me alive for you."
Full of optimism then, he never knew a day like this would even come!
Staring at the starry, black firmament above,
He heard something echoing in his ears.
Her words full of hatred pinched his heart,
And there he was with his hands empty yearning for her...
He knew she would never come back, and right he was.
Lonelier than ever, his life has become rudderless.
His hopes seemed to perish like a leper in the olden days.
He had the only choice to make, his last resort.
And thus he succumbed to love....
There is a story behind this poem. On Sept. 21, 2007, a young computer graphics trainer was found dead near railway tracks in the city of Kolkata, India. It is widely believed that he was murdered. Reason? He married the daughter of a rich industrialist. Problem was their religions. The girl's father did not approve of him. But he went with the marriage, received numerous death threats, and so on. Bravely enough, the couple married. And exactly 32 days later, the young computer graphics trainer was found dead. What happened to the girl? She went away, far from the reality....
