She ran, ran into the tents for comfort, comfort from him, when it should have been "comfort from him"
He stood outside watching as she broke down, each tear taking its turn to stab his cold, yet not so cold heart.
His shadow self reached across to wipe her tears, only if it was the real thing...Regret
His shadow self lent her that shoulder to cry on, only if it was the real thing...Regret
She leaned on him, forgetting those horrible insensitive words...Comfort and Love
She sensed him even as she felt that momentary comfort...So Fleeting
She looked...he ran and hid
She whispered...Manik
but he was just a shadow...

"There is strong shadow where there is much light."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,

Beautiful.

So close, yet so far. This scene was so endearing to watch as a viewer, them side by side separated by just a cloth. They could feel each other, yet, couldn't physically reach out. Yet, Nandani just saying "Manik" had me fluttered...She felt him. HIM. *Sigh*.

No matter how much they run or hide, the comfort they seek for lies in each others arms. This...love. You pen it down so much more beautifully Adhira!

Naww! This was one of their beautiful scenes and you added more beauty. Beautiful Adhi. You're a poet, ey? 😳

He wanted to reach out to her, yet he couldn't. He wanted to comfort her, yet he couldn't. He wanted to heal her, yet he couldn't. He wanted to be close to her, yet he couldn't. He wanted to run away from her, yet he couldn't. sigh*

"There is strong shadow where there is much light."
He is her shadow and she is the light of his life. Light-shadow, can never be apart.

Adhira, I've been reading all your posts today and thank you my lovely. I miss poems...
The "shadow scene" was it for me today. She found peace in that moment and that to me sealed the deal. She found comfort and she called out his name.. Her blinding pain could not snatch that fleeting moment of solace. That line in your poem sums it. For me...
Comfort momentary fleeting

Catty, beautiful, so beautiful 👏

When I watched that scene, I was in tears, yesterday I cried for Nandini, today I cried for Manik. Manik brought all this pain onto himself and to his love, he can't keep away from her, his soul won't allow it. It won't.
