Go Away, My Love...!

They were eyes filled with love
Gave tears to mine, just like now
Still I remember that lovely smile
Caught me like....a spell bound!

But I couldn't see those eyes and that smile
And felt, couldn't stay, just for awhile
They filled my life with hopes & dreams
And also tore them into pieces

Such a sin, have I done?
To miss you so, a person like none
Whenever I see , a dream, you were there
But couldn't let you know, how much I care.

In this life, I have a little pray
'How can I say this???; just finding the way
"Go away, my love, please go away,
From this dead soul"; just I want to say....!!!

To: my love!

Most Famous Love Stories In History and Literature

Pyramus and Thisbe

A very touching love story that is sure to move anyone who reads it is that of Pyramus and Thisbe. Theirs was a selfless love and they made sure that even in death, they were together. Pyramus was the most handsome man and was childhood friend of Thisbe, the fairest maiden in Babylonia. They both lived in neighbourhood and fell in love with each other as they grew up together. However, their parents were dead against them marrying each other. So one night just before the crack of dawn, while everyone was asleep, they decided to slip out of their homes and meet in the nearby fields near a mulberry bush. Thisbe reached there first. As she waited under the tree, she saw a lion coming towards the spring close by to quench its thirst. Its jaws were bloody. When Thisbe saw this horrifying sight, she panicked and ran to hide in some hollow rocks nearby. As she was running, she dropped her veil. The lion came near and picked up the veil in his bloody jaws. At that moment, Pyramus reached near the mulberry tree and saw Thisbe's veil in the jaws of the lion. He is completely devastated.

Shattered, he pierced his chest with his own sword. Unknown to what just happened, Thisbe was still hiding in the rocks due to the fear of the lion.

When she came out after sometime, she saw what her lover had done to himself.

She was totally shattered when she saw the sword stabbed right through her lover's chest. She also took the sword and killed herself.

This week's love talk is with popular actress Nayana Kumari

What do you think causes love at first sight? Is it real love or physical attraction?

Attraction comes first. I believe in the formula 1+1=2, which is a common truth for everyone. But love is not like that because it can be felt in different way.

Do you think that popular people are not very good lovers?

Yes, why not? Popularity is not a barrier for being a good lover. Everyone needs love, whether they are popular or not.

Ending relationships hurts sometimes but do you think former lovers can still be good friends?

Yes, lovers can still be friends and relationships can end peacefully. I think it depends on good understanding but unfortunately some relationships end in tragedy.

What will you do when you meet your ex when you are with your present lover?

Having ex-boy friends or girl friends is common in today's society. But I won't feel bad about it and will talk to my ex as a friend.

Have you ever been in a dilemma of choosing one partner over the other when you liked both?

I was never faced with that kind of situation. I think I was lucky to marry my first lover after a nine year love affair.
