Faraz Ajmal Poet Romanticism

An Incomplete Love Story

This is a fictional poem as part of my novel, " A thousand cursed lives". Uploading it as an example for the contest I am sponsoring.

I can write the saddest of all poems tonight
Just like everyday it was quite an ordinay night
The moon was shining and the stars were bright
There I met her for the last time in our lives

There were tears in her eyes and I exactly knew why
Our story was going to end incomplete
no matter how hard we tried
We both knew that such a love will never happen again
And there I promised that even till the last day of my life
I will only love her and if not her
then I shall never have another wife
I can write the saddest of all poems tonight

People say that to complete our unfinished love  
We are born again and again, 
maybe we can't have each other in this life
But if we found ourselves in different lives, will you be mine?
I can write the saddest of all poems tonight


Then we had our last kiss
A kiss of love that was true
A kiss that I didn't want to be through
A kiss so unsure
A kiss so gentle to endure
It was a kiss of couple who lost their love's fight
I can write the saddest of all poems tonight

Then her time for departure came
How could I let her go
There were so many dreams
And each one filled with her

Today people asked me if we loved 
each other then why we didn't marry
The fault was not hers neither I was the one to blame
Our parents couldn't do this, for them it was a shame
For their children marry to a person with a different religious claim

The problem was of religion and fate
One was an atheist where as the other practiced Islam

Curtis Johnson August 8, 2018 at 2:49 PM Faraz, you did indeed write a sad poem that night. I can feel the pain. Great work.

Curtis Johnson August 8, 2018 at 2:44 PM Thank you kindly for your comment. Faraz, I am honored.

Maria Williams August 1, 2018 at 5:13 AM True love conquers all, and has a way of working miracles if its meant to be. A wondrous poem which I truly enjoyed Faraz. Nice example for a contest....Maria hugs

David Stearns July 27, 2018 at 12:28 PM Very creative and original i enjoyed reading it i liked "a kiss so unsure and gentle to endure" keep it up

Al Juman July 24, 2018 at 8:11 PM took me a while but it is an Excellent piece my friend

Emile Pinet July 19, 2018 at 2:38 PM You entertain a multitude of bittersweet emotions that flitter and flutter away in the back of your mind. The imagery of this piece is well suited to the emotions solicited from the author, a battle between love and religion with dire reverberations. A poem offering poetic reflections on the essence of being human and sharing a feeling of love intrinsic to our species...and yet a social taboo. Emile.

Silent One July 19, 2018 at 9:47 AM For a young man you really do have a great imagination.. A sad love story, that due to religion and culture did not work out.. great story telling young man..

Becca Teagan July 15, 2018 at 6:04 PM A sad poem, for sure, when two people who love each other can't be together for whatever reasons.

Nette Onclaud July 13, 2018 at 4:38 PM heart-wrenchingly beautiful piece where human law of fate denies people of love, faraz... a tough act to follow for your challenge!.. huggs

Anisha Dutta July 11, 2018 at 8:14 PM Yes. This type of tragic end is not uncommon 'cause of difference in religion, race or so-called family status. But to overcome is the true progress. I will put an almost similar story. Blessing.

Constance La France July 11, 2018 at 6:38 PM Great story, hope I can write you something worthy for your contest

Heidi Sands July 11, 2018 at 3:51 PM Well written Faraz! I can feel what you have put into words for us to read. Well done :)

Probir Gupta July 11, 2018 at 9:09 AM Nature and genes have given us many features of our personality but certainly not religion ... This man made wall is a potential danger ... Your lovely poem I enjoyed so much ... Thank you for liking my Dancing Hall haiku ...

Alexis Y. July 11, 2018 at 8:51 AM Hi Faraz, This is a good example for your contest. I will see what I can come up with. I believe in "Love". Because it is more powerful than ones traditions, race and beliefs. One should be free to love if they are lucky enough to find their one true love:-)Alexis

Demetrios Trifiatis July 11, 2018 at 5:38 AM One life at a time my friend, Faraz and one girl at a time! If you keep being romantic like this the girl you dream to be with will be yours now and forever!

Eve Roper July 10, 2018 at 8:49 PM This is a wonderful example of the contest. I enjoyed reading Thank you for sharing Hugs Eve

Anne-Lise Andresen July 10, 2018 at 11:52 AM - Love is greater than anything else, a great story Faraz :) - Much can be difficult but everything is possible - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Richard Lamoureux July 10, 2018 at 8:40 AM It is indeed a sad one. Myself my wife is Chinese and our son married an East Indian girl. We all mixed well together at the wedding celebration. Boundaries are a thing of the mind and minds can change.
