SILENT ACHE

Nidham Nehal

As the seasons of life pass, I kept on swung between sun and shade

The pain tends to remain and then seemed to fade

As I close my eyes there I saw something that raced my heart

That was looking toward me, but I started to depart

I tried to look toward the new beginnings but the pictures come and go

The silent ache in the heart continue to grow

My heart questions me, how can you handle such an ache?

How can you bounce back again and again? How this pain has settled in your heart?

I replied and said this pain would never go away.

Tooba.

    My comments on the poem "Silent ache” by Nidham Nehal
    The seasons come and go, while the poetess swings from mood changes, moods that are sometimes optimistic, sometimes otherwise. The pain, too, appears and disappears. In a vision the poetess saw something that had a profound effect on her. She tried to avoid it and to move on. She wanted to make a new, clean start, but the mental pictures would not leave her. Her heart still pines after the experience that was troubling her. Her sorrow and misery only increased. She wonders how she is able to handle such a pain and still stay sane. She is surprised that she should be able to fight off the tension. She wondered how the pain had taken hold of her heart. Thus, though she was managing to cope and to carry on with her life in some way, the painful experience was still there. She realizes that the painful experience was there to stay and to keep a hold on her.
    The heart does not listen to anything or anybody. It is often fighting the mind. In conflicts between the heart and the mind, very often the heart wins, for passions are more powerful than reasoning. We listen to passions even if we know that it will lead to our downfall or even destruction. There are cases where an heir to a throne had renounced the throne in favour of living with the love of his life. Thus, one can renounce an entire kingdom for a love that has not much to offer, except love.
    See the Internet on another case :

    There is a French saying : “Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas. »
    (The heart has its reasons that reason itself does not know).

    Thus, even in the face of all odds, even at the price of breaking up the family, people will sometimes choose love over family. Yet there is a saying in English : “Blood is thicker than water.” Still, many times love will rule the day. After a long time, the lovers might return to the family… Soman Ragavan. 7 October, 2023. //
