Strangling Love

There are cultures that do not allow certain bloods to mix in marriage. But the winds of love can easily drive away clouds of discomfort, hatred and racial discrimination based on tribal or ethnic basis.

    Love is an invisible force
Striking you without warning
Taking you to heights of passion

It is an eternal joy of life
If the hearts meet each other
And mix till they become one

But it turns out to be a pain
When a cloud comes in between
Casting a shadow upon the bliss

Still hearts of love do speak up
Not through words from the mouth
But through feelings from the heart

Though divided by cultural barrier
I and my love communicate in love
Using silence as a way of speaking

With the strings of our tradition
Our love is strangled in the dark
But we don't let it die away

Such a terrible shame. If two people are in love, then a life they shall proudly build. Isn't that why Shakespeare wrot Romeo and Juliet? To point out the hipocracy? Enjoyed the write.

Be safe,
Karen

Abdi-Noor, it is difficult to believe that the evil of racism infects the world. We are all of one blood; and the reality of love teaches us that we all belong to each other. My thanks and prayers and regards; for love is the universal language. Hate, bitterness and prejudice cannot speak as eloquently.

Abdi_noor,

I've always said: it doesn't matter what race people are; if they treat their love with honor and respect, treating them right, it's the only thing that should matter. Beautifully penned wisdom that breaks the bonds of prejudice and accepts people as they are. Well done!

(((HUGS))), love and prayer, Karla.

Very wise reasoning of a lightning rod subject! The love has to be deep and true on both sides for it to last.

Love,
Eileen

I believe people should have a right to marry whom they so choose: background regarding religion, race, or ethnicity shouldn't matter; it's love that should matter! Good points you raise; very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend/sister in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :D

Beautiful write! :)

This is a fascinating insight into a marriage of mixed tradition, Abdi-Noor. Love does often survive! :)
