Love Departed - Poem by Rekha Mandagere
Freshness of love made me lively
To give up the life of solitude boldly
Year after year we loved happily
Hand in hand ever walked closely
Shockingly arose a whirlpool of strangers
Who wished to measure the worth of lovers.
I spiritedly climbed the hill in a second
And swam with the tides to far beyond
They uttered in chorus Great! Great!
But the final test to win was already set
Plucking away my root was only their trial
Implanting New Belief was their word final
Hearing that terrific crime I was taken aback
Inner voice cautioned me never look back!

An interesting poem dear friend, I try to read it again and again, am not very sure to understand the end. To me it sounded like such a happy time you had with your loved one than others came admired you and wanted to add beside that sweet love, something that made you run and cry..
I seem to feel quite strange the lines:
They uttered in chorus Great! Great!
But the final test to win was already set
Plucking away my root was only their trial
Implanting New Belief was their word final

Love always like a flower, it freshen by water, supply a support...when no support the flower will dry and fall, the love is gone...but for love to God will always make u strong..
As you said never look back, is really true for all things because we cant move forward if we stay in the past...we need to move on. A child maybe innocent but innocent doesnt mean ignorant, still life is full of colorants...just how we use and see it...Unwritten Soul (Report) Reply
I felt that this poem had depth to it when I read it. Like you are dealing with change in your life. The words 'Do not look back' struck a chord with me. I often say something similar to myself: 'Don't look back, there is nothing there for you.' An enjoyable poem to read with a depth of feeling to it.10/10. (Report) Reply
