Altar of trust

Yesterday one of my friend parted ways with his long time love.
on a positive note at least he had some learnings from it.
As his sister rightly said..."Girls are too very complex for men to comprehend".
I dont know whether the chauvnist in me or just the rage against the way 'my' friend's trust was misused make me agree with her.
Broken trust is not new to this world but when it happens so close to you... so very close...
I find it little bit difficult to gulp down that reailty.

He was staring at darkness
Then came a cool breeze
It started caressing him,It
whispered in his ears,It just
took him to an alien world.
A world of hidden pleasures.
The absense of sun was not felt
the bright promises prevailed.

Then when he started feeling
the warmth of sun,He realised
that the cool breeze is no more.
Then a bad odour prevailed. Yes !
He was stinking with a nauseating
smell of some rotten wild flower

Was the breeze alien to him
or is the sun just fooling him ?
But for sure there was an odour
Due to rancid breach of trust.

Its always sad when two people break up. but even though it hurts I think it is good they found out early enough that they were not suited for each other and split up. they could have lied and pretended to be in love but who were they fooling no one but themselves.

Girls are too very complex to comprehend...

I would replace "Girls" here with "Guys" :)

Cos if u replace the "he", "him" etc with "she", "her", in ur poem then it's about me. :)

appazhe, poem is written by you? aalu kollaamallo.

It hurts when a relationship ends. But annihilation is as much in the course of nature as Creation.
Here is one line that helped me a lot in similar circumstances:
Do not be sorry that it ended. Be Glad that it ever was!!
At least, there was a nice breeze that intoxicated him for a while..

Heartbreak can be very painful. In the future, I hope he meets someone who truly loves him . Then he will be able to look back on this hurt as just a bad memory.

Am reminded of the line ~

Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell.

Well, in this world it is truly difficult and herculean task to really know others. Understanding another person os very difficult and it would be unwise to say, i know that person fully, because, this would only hurt our expectations.
In this life, it would be more than amazing, if we just tried to know ourself completely.

The lines you have written are good and it depends on how we see the world.

Getting a few burns in love is far wiser compared to rotting in the 'commitment-o-phobia' hell

You have described the feelings beautifully..

A very close friend of mine is still recovering from a broken relationship.. I doubt if she ever will.. The feelings were engrained so deeply in her soul..

I felt the same anger for the guy.. But later i realised that most of the times its no body's fault.. I had to swallow the fact that love can die just as it can evolve..

Its strange that the very emotion that can biuld ur life can destroy it and shred it into pieces too..

:(((

I pray that ur friend gets the strength to move on.. And that this experience does not make him bitter and indifferent to life..

..Me

Hi Neermathalam,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Well, I just wanted to find out who this chiyechi is.I may be wrong but I guess its Biriyani chechi. :-)

Love is a double edged sword. You can kill your sorrows with it. But it can kill you as well. It is always difficult when you break up with some one. May God give your friend enough strength to bear this.

Nice poem!! :)

Hi, it ws indeed a pleasure to hav u comment on the clouds! Thanx..btw I followed only 2words of the tamil u wrote..hmmm
Well I dnt c ne reason 4n 2b jealous..u write great words n even better than me for that matter!!!
Breach of trust hurts more thn nethin I guess n when it happens to u or year loved ones it pierces the heart..u knw what but when some1 does tis u only can justify tht u tried year best n yet it didn't work..but all said n done love makes u n can also break one like hell..I wish people realized wot the other one goes thru when tis happens n are a lill more humane when it comes to tis!

and tho ppl break up , contrary to what is said , i dont think either loved the other less.

human nature is a weird thing .. it is pretty fickle. so , just because they broke up doesnt mean that their's was not a true love thingie ....

look at animals ... one day they mate with one , the next time another ...
that is nature .... we have a more advanced brain.. and that proclaims animal nature wrong .. but , think back to our early days ( i mean the cave men etc ) ... what was happ then ?

and therez one more thing , no matter how much u feel like breaking up , a little bit of a distance will def bring u back together .. that is human nature ( provided both of them want it )

@how do we know
At least, there was a nice breeze that intoxicated him for a while..
Atleast that was there...
and i like your name..it is bubbling with innocence...
@dotm
bad memories keep revisiting so often..;( isnt so ?
@velu.
amen..stated precisely
@alex..
I wish i had beautiful mind as u hav..noble thoughts..they are..when we are at pitch black situation we can find solace in those philosphies only..else we will fall shattered eating the dust.
@b v n
man...it really hurts when a commitment is broken..it hurts much deeper..he told me.. that his confidence was affected.

@rose
true..the sweetness,warmth and sense of security a relationship provides make people approach it like fireflies.even that death is beautiful isnt it ???
@ketki
i was so touched it jus came out of my heart.
@dilbu
u have said it all...and btb enthe chiyechi biriyani chechi thanne.
@seema
that is the only thing which she should have shown to him in my opinion, a bit more humane treatment.
@love
kutta..pray 4 him
@deepz..
it was not the question of amrriage exactly..some thing more deeper..
"very close to what u said.."
look at animals ... one day they mate with one , the next time another ...
that is nature .... we have a more advanced brain.. and that proclaims animal nature wrong ..
what is natural and what is unnatural is always a debatable topic..but always i believe there is thing called trust that is unbreakable..whatever may be the provocation bcse that is the foundation of any human relationship apart from blood relations..whether it be friendship whether it be platonic love or just lust.

Its an enigma, is'nt it, love? They tell that only unselfish love is what you get from your mother. Dont expect more! I believe it.
Great poem, Neermathalam!

Is there something called selfless love?? I wonder....because evry human is bound to commit some mistake in life, so breaking up is also just a part of that...or maybe to set some wrongs right. anyways, it is painful whatever the reason maybe..but time does heal the deepest of the deep wounds!
