To fall in love needs no reason,

To fall in love needs no designation…

The churning soul inside me cries aloud

Whilst they hear nothing but see many.

No! Jump not to conclusion!

They don’t have eyes that see love

But have the ones to see me…

Me…As a woman,

         As a married woman &

           As a mother,

Who is bound to spell “I love you”

Only to her spouse. PERIOD

Else it’s termed extramarital or lesbian stuff!

I scream… I scream with silent sound that;

Someday I’ll carry all my memories to sea

And hang them up against the wind to dry…

It’s just love, an admiration

An expression that says “You mean a lot to me”,

It’s just the connection of souls

And which isn’t any lust

But just a throbbing heart to express it’s love

Saying “I love you” and not “I lust you”…

Sometimes forgetting, I stand amidst

A “society” so conservative

With everyone busy peeking and probing

Other’s relationships rather strengthening theirs…

I scream… I scream with silent sound that;

Someday I’ll carry all my memories to sea

And hang them up against the wind to dry…

The liberals few amongst you

May support this unsung story

But remember it’s just few you

Amidst this huge “society”

With myself as a part as much as you.

Love needs no bravery,

Love needs no conditions apply

But to explain and justify

The purity and innocence

That two loving souls hold

May take generations together and

Till then I decide to stay anonymous

With this unsung love story

As I scream with silent sound that;

Someday I’ll carry all my memories to sea

And hang them up against the wind to dry…
