Don't cheer me up, a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
12-04-2020
Don't cheer me up!
Let the grief of longing
Amass, and render the heart heavy
And fall
in prostration
Before the Merciful,
Let not the onus subside.
Don't console me!
Thy tyrant words
May deconstruct
the cobwebby edifice
Of hopes of reunion.
Do not accompany me!
Your jabber may restrict
Me...
To hear the melancholic
Melodies of her yells.
Do not cheer me up!
