'DON'T COME': HOPES OF DESPAIR
'Don't Come' is the first poem in the collection, 'Hopes Of Despair'. This poem is one of the closest to my heart.
Our life greatly depends not upon actions, but upon perceptions. Like famous poet Mirza Ghalib writes,
"हमको मालूम है जन्नत की हक़ीक़त लेकिन,
दिल को बहलाने को ग़ालिब ये ख्याल अच्छा है"
(We know the reality of heaven but still, It is a good idea to keep the heart happy, Ghalib).
This is not just a verse but it is fact of our lives, like Meeta the lead character in my novel "Raped Every Day' says 'truth is an apparent phenomena', it is a fact that truth is not or
say never absolute. It is always apparent or what the majority feels to be true is truth. For example before Copernicus, it was a truth that sun goes round the earth. Today the truth is earth goes round the sun.
Similarly we humans need, 'khayals' (ideas) to keep ourselves happy.
Sometimes it is always better that someone whom we love, but are also aware that the love is not reciprocated by him/her--should only remain in memories. We should feel their absence as someone who is our's but not present here. However, if that person tends to be physically present and avoids us, ignores us, then the last solace that we were having, the last illusion will also break. Thus sometimes it is better too wish that our beloved doesn't come but remains close in our memories.
This is the first poem of the collection of best love poems, 'Hopes of Despair' releasing on March 31, 2018.
I will be posting one by one about other poems too which you can find here
