Love - A Perpetual Wound ?

He looks at her and asks her to smile. She smiles faintly focusing only on the camera, trying to escape his gaze. He clicks…once, twice, thrice… Her heart feels fraught with feelings unknown...Her eyes heavy with insomnia,blink insignificantly...Her face betrays her emotions...The camera captures those unseen, unobserved emotions...He paints her into life through the pictures he takes, yet she feels forlorn...How much she loves him nobody can say... How much he loves her, she is totally unaware of... He knows everything! She knows everything! Yet they are together...He knows she loves him truly...He loads the photographs on his computer and smiles as he holds her hand...She hugs him tightly and cries over his shoulder...He runs his fingers through her hair and caresses her gently...He holds her by the shoulders and looks at her face smothered with tears...She looks at him, his eyes enigmatic and full of questions...She fails to understand him yet again! Shadows overshadow her thoughts as she closes her eyes...The saturation freezes into stubborn sorrow...She asks him, “Do I have to leave now?” He turns away and says nothing...He sits down and shows her photographs...She scans through them and appreciates his ability to transform her completely...He kisses her on the forehead... She asks him, “Will you never love me…just because…we can never…” her voice breaks and she sobs silently...He says nothing...Shez hurt and wants to leave immediately...She gets up and turns to go...He holds her by her hand, stops her and says “Don’t go...Please...” They hug each other and cry silently in each other’s arms...
I wish they could always be together!

Why is there this difference is castes? Why is the society so superficial? We all are the superficial symbols of a satisfied soul. Are we really satisfied? Are we happy? The society builds laws and ideals for everyone and discriminates one religion from another, just because maybe I don’t wear a burkha and some other person does not worship idols...God is universal ! I say Shiva is my god, because Jesus and Allah are your Gods, isn’t it? How is it possible? Only because cultures differ how can one religion be deemed as superior to another? This is an abyss of faithlessness and can lead only to misery and hatred...And we are the victims..The ones who love are looked upon as vermin; The one's who create hatred are considered powerful and god-like. This is the society we are a part of....Created by us as our utopia...
