Death of Love

a poem by Sakthi Ravichandran

For the past one month,
There is no sunrise in my sky
For the past one week,
There is no breathing in my heart
Why all these and what for?
Cause she told me to
Marry another girl in my life
What’s wrong with me?
And why she told me in such a way?
Cause she is not belonging to my caste
Yes. She is from a down trodden community
What’s wrong in it?
The olden, rotten creatures told
It is crime against Him and rituals.
We both got married with ever paining hearts
But she died of a sudden cause
Her guilt has killed her peace and life
Oh! THE ROTTEN OLD PIGS
Not to cross on the life of lovers.
