Glimpse of the truth is a collection of sixteen poems, written by Prasad Agte. And all the poems have been put sequentially in the book so that they convey a full story, a journey—a journey that starts from falling in love at the first sight and ends at the point of confession. Each poem talks deftly about a particular stage in this journey. And one poem starts where the earlier ends. Reading these poems is like listening to a dithering lover and knowing his most intimate thoughts. Love is beautiful but falling in love is filled with angst. These poems are a reflection of that angst residing in a lovelorn heart.
Now coming to the poems themselves, the first thing that hits the readers is the beautiful use of the English language. The expressions, the phrases, the imageries have been woven so beautifully that they paint vividly colourful pictures in our minds, making the stories, the moments, the emotions come alive. The moment when the young man sees his woman for the first time and gets enthralled has been expressed in the very first poem, named aptly as The Glimpse. The second poem called Dreamland talks about how love invades the dreams of the young man. His heart is searching for his beloved all the time and this unending search manifests itself through his dreams. Even in his dreams he is traversing virgin territories, unexplored vistas and yet he finds beauty in his search. The young man is getting impatient to find a thread to his lady’s world through the pathways of his own world. He is all alone in the mystical world yet he feels an unexplained magic in the deepest recesses of his heart. The next poems named, Inhabitants of the Dreamland and Wonderland talks about a story where the protagonist is coming across some magical beings who make him face his own feelings. He is made to face the fact that the greatest wish of his heart is the wondrous lady. So far the protagonist has been trying to deny his own feelings but now he is shown how significant and overwhelming his emotions are. The next poem, Angels’ Magical Sense is perhaps the best of the lot, as far as I am concerned. In this poem, the angels’, or rather his own subconscious mind reminds him that there’s nothing to be gained by trying to denying his emotions. He is told vehemently that attempts can move mountains. The next few poems, like The other good side and Angels’ persuasion all convey a very important message: First you doubt your own beliefs, and then you believe your doubt. These two lines have to be the essence of success and the reason of failure. In love, in life this is the mistake that people make and then lose their dreams. The protagonist is warned timely and so are the readers. The following poems advice the protagonist about how he should proceed in his endeavour to woo his lady and finally as the protagonist comes to terms with his own feelings, slowly his inhibitions, his fears are washed away. And there comes a stage where he decides to confess his feelings in front of his beloved. And as the poet has rightly said, it’s more important for the truth to be out there.
This collection of poems is definitely a very refreshing read. It’s different and unique. The way the book has been conceptualized is praiseworthy. Readers are surely going to wait for more from the poet in the future.
