For those in love,
Love could be a fairy tale story!
A sensational culmination
Of passionate and exuberant feelings.
But this fairy tale ending happens only,
If both love each other in equal measure.
Otherwise, it is a sad tale of disappointment
And utter disillusionment.
The daily walks to the woods with Kay
Developed many tender feelings for Vincent.
He realised, he loved Kay very deeply.
Not just her beauty or brains alone,
But he loved her entire being.
He aspired to make Kay his wife,
Have a home of his own with her
And lead a happy life, with children too,
But all this was Vincent's dream!
Day and night, he imagined a blissful married life.
But he bottled up all his desires and dreams
And kept them hidden, locked in his heart.
Many a times, he wanted to open up
And tell Kay, his true feelings.
He longed to embrace and kiss her,
And forget all about the mundane things of life.
On a sunny day, Vicent had completed sketching diggers,
Then, sat with Kay and Jan near a brook,
To have their lunch under the shade of an elm tree.
When the young Jan dozed off to sleep on the grass,
Vincent knelt down beside Kay to show her his paintings.
He was bursting to express his feelings to her.
Suddenly, he caught hold of her, rather fiercely, and
Poured out like a stormy rain, torrent of passionate words.
Kay was stunned. She had never expected such a situation.
She was horrified by his outpourings and sat petrified.
Vincent continued his passionate speech,
Unaware of Kay's reaction or repulsion.
At last, she raised her hand, and angrily
Screamed out: 'No, never, never! '
She wrenched herself free from Vincent's grasp,
Picked up her sleeping son from the grass, in hurry,
Ran, terror stricken, as fast as possible.
A Biographical Poem
'He imagined a blissful married life (with Kay) ' but his passion was received with a sense of horror and repulsion. It was so devastating for young Vincent. Commendable portrayal.
Once again, unrequited love happening in the life of this great artist. How much pain and suffering must he endure to finally get the happy life that he truly deserves? Another outstanding write, Geeta!
When I first saw Kay, I thought it would be The Godfather ending but it was the reverse, really great.
