I think,
Tragedy is romantic
Don’t you think it is?
Because there is
An isle of love
Even in the
Ocean of tragedy
So, don’t cry
Remembering those,
Who remembers you not
But don’t stop
Loving them,
Who knows?
Again, fate might
Bring them closer to you
And they might
Plough your barren heart
With the hoe of their trust
And disperse the seeds
Of affection and irrigate it
With the ambrosia of their love

This is so positive. I wish that I could internalize this so it would stop me from having negative thoughts.

I see heartache.. But I also feel hope.. This is a beautifully crafted poetic symphony.. Filled with imagery and feeling.
Forgive me if i take this as you did not intend it to be.
I totally agree with Grady. And yet... romance turns into tragedy sometimes... But for all the perfect bliss of finding and dwelling in one of these magic islands... it is well worth traversing stormy oceans, and... to go on believing. Magnificent piece this is, Bhuwan.

Very, very nice, Bhuwan,
but if you'll permit my saying,
for some reason this poem does not affect me personally as much as many of your other gems.
Sometimes we all hesitate or put off affection, avoid showing love to the ones we love because of various personal reasons. I would say that if you really love someone, don't wait for them to contact you. Reaching out could ignite a spark hidden in them. Very good vision in this piece. tk G
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
This is so positive. I wish that I could internalize this so it would stop me from having negative thoughts.
Plough your barren heart

Bhuwan...this is fabulous...love this...floria
Forgive me if i take this as you did not intend it to be.
If you did ...thank you for doing so!!
Too bad then!!
You just gave me some hope...
That things will turn out just fine for me!!
But one tragedy could course another tragedy at the end...if it takes toooooo long to end!!
Being on the edge lately scares the shit out of me!!
Love Tinka
very creative and well conceived...

It seems a little less "poetic".
Anyway....

Another beautiful and creative write Bhuwan!
