They both loved one another. None had the strength to live
without the other.
But the dictates of the society ruled out a happily ever
after for them.
And so they thought about meeting for one last time that
day.
But when the time for goodbyes came, their intertwined bodies
would not let go.
…………
The blood from their cuts had formed a pool. It was too late
to save them.
Or was it really late???
For their souls were rejoicing in land where love ruled ... With a clear heart and clean conscience … they had let go of their lives.

So beautifully tragic
ReplyDeleteWonderfully written. The forbidden love reminds me a bit of Romeo and Juliet.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Your compliment is quite an inspiration and encouragement.
DeleteHeartbreaking. At least they are "free" ... still. So sad. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteA Romeo and Juliet nod? I love it! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Romeo and Juliet came to mind, too, when I read this tragic story!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and this observation.
DeleteI hope for their sake they did find a way in a safe place.
ReplyDeleteI hope the same too. Fingers crossed.
DeleteThank you so much for visiting and commenting on my blog Ruby. I appreciate it very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reciprocating the visit Lucy.
DeleteAbsolutely tragic, but love is a beautiful thing. Something everyone deserves and should be able to express freely. A forbidden, and hidden, love is so romantically beautiful and so fundamentally sad at the same time. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI'm glad they were able to get out of this place together.
ReplyDeleteThat's a different take on the story and first of its kind. It makes me happy that you see their happiness.
DeleteRegards,
Ruby
So sad to read but they're together forever in the end and that's the real meaning of happy ever after.
ReplyDeletex susan
Yes, that is the real meaning of happy ever after. I appreciate your interpreting the little write up.
DeleteLove is so very strong. Ruby, have a nice night.
ReplyDeleteTammy
Thank you Tammy. I hope you too have a wonderful time ahead.
DeleteHow very Shakesperean. And were they really lost indeed. Perhaps their families made up like the Montagues and Capulets.
ReplyDeleteThank you. And I share the same thought as you.
DeleteLike a few others, I immediately saw Romeo and Juliet here and I think if that was your inspiration, you really did it justice. This is lovely piece. Thanks for linking up and see you on the weekend
ReplyDeleteThank you for encouraging me. Truthfully, Romeo and Juliet came to mind only when readers saw it. But it is a great compliment for this short piece that I have written. Thank you so much.
