Love Unbound

By Aarif Khan

In the tender bloom of youth, they met, two souls entwined by fate,

A love so pure, so deep, it surged, defying time and space,

Yet destiny, with callous hand, tore them apart, a cruel divide,

Their hearts, forever bound, in love's bittersweet, relentless tide.

Across the seas, they wandered, adrift, two stars condemned to roam,

Each carrying the other's heart, their love, a beacon, guiding them home,

Yet the winds of fortune, unrelenting, conspired to keep them afar,

Love's symphony of longing, composed in silence, under distant stars.

In the quiet hours of twilight, when shadows whispered their melancholy tale,

Their hearts cried out for one another, a silent plea, a yearning that would not fail,

The echoes of their love, resounding, transcended the boundaries of mortal lands,

An enduring testament to a love unbound, a force no fate could withstand.

With every sunrise, they painted dreams, illusions of a life entwined,

A world where love conquered all, where fate could not confine,

Yet the relentless march of time, a river's steady flow, pressed on,

Their love, a bittersweet refrain, in life's ever-changing song.

Though they walked alone, two solitary figures, against the sands of time,

Their love, a fortress of the heart, a sanctuary, a refuge, so sublime,

For though fate denied them solace, the warmth of each other's embrace,

Their hearts remained entwined, a love unyielding, a tender grace.

In the twilight of their years, love's fire still burned, undiminished,

A testament to the strength of a bond that fate could never vanquish,

And though the hands of time would hold them apart, in a cruel decree,

Their love, eternal, would resonate, a symphony of longing, an unbreakable sea.
