Remember to Forget..

Remember to forget ..
The face you always love to hate,
The mind you always wish to relate.
The moments spent before my sight,
The wrongs you did for my every right.
The glare of my loving eyes,
And the truth behind my lies.

Remember to forget ..
The memories of my indelible past,
The images that will forever last.
The nights with sleepless dreams,
The days with hopeless gleams.
The evenings when we coincidently met,
And the rains which made us wet.

Remember to forget..
The meetings of our probing eyes,
The last trace of hope in my voice.
The life that will never be the same,
The paths that will never cross again.
The grief hiding behind the maze,
And the lines written in your praise.

Finally .. atlast..
whr were u all these days ??
Anyways.. ur new poem was surprisingly on the meloncholy side.. but as always ur poems have a layer above it and the real menaing one gets when you remove that layer.. In this poem too you very craftly and deftly mixed the feelings of desire and emotion ; and to some extent even anger...
What comes out is heart touching creation.. nicely done

Gautam Anand said...

thx .. again..
as always .. u r 1st to comment..
Interesting observation.. n yes..
I knw from whr u got tht anger thing.. it's the title itself..
But I am unsure.. if calling it anger wud be right..

And yup a long gap.. was too busy with things

Rahul said...

Firstly let me congratulate you on hiting upon a remarkable title for the poem...
I guess it's the first time u r writing sth not on the brighter side..
but who cares as long as u end up writing so touching and heart warming..

Gautam Anand said...

@Rahul

thx..
It's the 2nd time I am writing more on a meloncholy note.. my 1st attempt was "That Day"...
It's not tht I am feeling sad.. but I thought of writing sth different

Nice one,Gautam
It is always to forget we remember..or in another sense everything is just remembrance.life too is a remembrance..

Nice poem . Every word made sense .

If only we could forget all these things and look towards the brighter side of life , life could be so much better and happier :)

Keep Writing

@Arnav
thx buddy..
but memories also make life.. and some memories better we don't forget !

Arnav said...

@Gautam
Of course we should not forget the positive and happy memories. I meant forgetting the memories which makes us sad ....
