This poignant poem is inspired by a powerful image of two individuals trapped beneath rubble, their final moments immortalized in a silent embrace. It speaks of unbreakable love, sacrifice, and the human spirit’s resilience even in the face of death.

The verses honor not just the tragedy, but the profound bond that defied fear, pain, and destruction. It is a poetic reflection on love’s strength amid unimaginable loss.

Beneath the Broken Sky
(A tribute to resilience and love)

Beneath the weight of shattered stone,
Two lovers lie, forever alone.
In tender arms, a final shield,
Love unspoken, fate revealed.

Cruel winds have hushed their final breath,
Yet love still speaks through dust and death.
She rests against his silent chest—
His heart, her last and only nest.

The world above may scream and fall,
But he became her living wall.
No time for words, no chance to flee,
Just one last hug for memory.

They once had dreams of skies so wide,
Of stars that sparkled side by side.
Now rubble rests where hope once lay,
But love refused to turn away.

O cruel world, what have you done?
You broke their bodies—not their bond.
No act more pure, no braver fight,
Than holding on through endless night.
(Vijay Verma)
