A love forbiddenA Poem by Ishwar GrewalI was
on my way to finally pour out my heart to you, Holding
my heart’s love with both hands, Hiding
and protecting it from the world, On my
way I stumbled upon nature, “Stop
right there! Nothing against nature passes through this way!” “Show
me what is it in your hands hidden?” “It is the love I have for my
beloved!” “Love....!! Every tiny bit of nature was created with
love!” “You
are free to pass, Off you go!” As I
walked down through the beauty of nature, I
stumbled upon a wise man, “I
know all the holy scriptures by heart!” “Nothing
against the scriptures passes through this way!” “Show
me what is it in your hands hidden?” “It is the love which made me
believe in miracles and magic!” “Hmmm...
We all are God’s miracle, His essence and He is the greatest Magician!” “What
you are holding is His essence too” “You
are free to pass, Off you go!” As I
walked through with a smile on my face, I
stumbled upon an Angel, “Stop
right there! Nothing evil passes through this way!” “Show
me what is it in your hands hidden?” “It is love not evil. It is
pure and untouched by wicked.” “Interesting....
I hardly see such kind of innocent and real love in the present” “There
is nothing immoral about your love, so I cannot hold you or stop you!” “So
off You go! You may pass through but...” “But
you are brave, Brave because it demands courage to walk through this path, go
on now” Pondering
on why angel said that, I walked on, At
last when I was about to reach you, I
stumbled upon three masked men, One of
caste, one of gender and one of race, “We
are the protectors of this human society, nothing against it passes through
this way!” “Show
us what is it in your hands hidden?” “It is my heart’s love, pure
and harmless. Nothing against the human society!” I said with a smile. “Show
us what is it in your hands hidden?” they asked again. As I upheld
my hands to show them my heart’s love, They
thundered in anger! “Go
back! Go back through the same path!” I held
my hands tight again near my chest, trying to keep my love safe! “You
cannot pass through!” they condemned. “Because
the love hidden in your hands is forbidden!” © 2019 Ishwar GrewalFeatured Review
