Victims of Restless Soul--Zaib & Kripa! - Page 3

Hey Love4ever!

Your writing always symbolizes the essence of love - which I have always admired. Hats off to you!



"Zeb or Angad's anger

I feel the anger building once again,
Why must this rage plague me so?
I fear it futile to try to quell it's
Fury, But am apprehensive of the consequences
Of unleashing the beast,
As it were.
My anger is my own.
None save myself must know the
Havoc it can wreak.
Such strain it is, trying to
Extinguish the flames of fury, But if it is
Freed, containment may prove impossible.
So I begin the sublimation,
Use the anger, provide the drive.
The anger fuels my ambition,
Pushes me to achieve.
My anger is my own."

Sweetie — I agree on most of the things you discussed about Angad's anger which led to Zaib's emergence and determination to cause destruction ("The anger fuels my ambition"). But jaan, I sort of disagree with the very last line—"My anger is my own." I personally feel that Zaib is unaware that the anger is from his own mere image. He plans to casts shadows on Kripa's life, but does not realize that he will be swooped into it as well. His anger can be justified, but does he justify to himself correctly? Let's focus, he wishes to ruin Kripa and Kartik's life (2 people who left him stranded in jail…we know that he in still oblivious about Prithvi being involved), so how come he is using Mishty as a weapon to tear kripa apart? Anger can reveal dark sides of human personality, and many times people in rage don't look within to see what exactly they are mad about. Another thing, as of now, I haven't seem him being apprehensive about what he is doing, indeed he moves with boldness toward every aspect he so deeply hopes to conquer. Is he afraid of unleashing the beast? Coz to me, if he realized it, he wouldn't have used Mishty's love to provoke Kripa's fears.

😛 When I meant in this line " My anger is my own" - Yes, he is afraid of unleashing this beast. As you must have noticed - Angad's personality is very raw, temperamental. I remember when Kripa slapped him - his anger filled to the extent, that Kripa seemed brittle in front of him. He could either torture her so much - to satisfy his anger. But, he did not, instead he let her go, with another option. Which means he knows the potential of his anger, he can restricrt himself from letting this anger of his overflow him. And, I think the reason - Zeb does not seem apprehensive about his actions is because his thoughts are not really shown. His actual feelings are not yet revealed. His actions are the only aspect that we can stimulate from.

"Love Defined, for Angad and Kripa
What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?
What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time's ceaseless flow?
What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?
What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o'erthrow?
What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?
And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life's brief years?
So I'll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow."

Absolutely wonderful, the entire idea of love is profound and philosophical. I had replied to this poem in one of your other posts…I think its amazing how love can be defined, yet is undefined for it captures everything.

"A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong."

This poem highlights the idea of the bond between our love-birds, which unfortunately they don't see. In everything they do, everything they search, their eyes mirror the image of their torn, yet hopeful heart. They might claim to despise each other, but we know how the thread of pure love connects the rhythms of affectionate beats, which resides in some corner of their hearts. The tempting looks, anguish while gazing, hopeful while staring, intensity while feeling, known concern but unknown willing,…is Kripa the only target or are both suffering?

I looked at this poem from a different aspect. I saw this poem from Angad and Kripa's perspective. Eventhough, deep inside they know that they can never loosen the bonds of their love - they choose to ignore it. And, instead, yes they plaster the facade of hatred - to cover up their wounded hearts, and broken desires. No, Kripa is not the only target of this suffering, both her and Zeb are suffocating in their inner turmoils. this new thread has been formed in the shape of hatred - Now let's just see where it leads them.

Variations of views, always interest my mind, and I'm glad that you cared to reply, and showed me your full aspect of your views.

Take care!
