A Feeling of Melancholy



With melancholy run inside
The feelings emanate
and show up like blossoming flower
like autumn leaves
they turn brown
burning quite intense
For one who delve deep into depths
More profound than expressed words
Which frequently come out of the surface
Similar as the waves driven by winds
In deep and widespread sea
The waves alone are seen
standing on the shores of a sea
leaving deep sea beneath
into oblivion
The expressed feelings are
but waves on surface
The unexpressed lie deep inside
Writ large on multitude
surfacing on child’s innocent face
deprived of joys of play
in the midst of giggling fortunate
A poor damsel living on edge
whose worn out smile
springs from deep hurts
braving onslaughts of society
can only be felt
This melancholy is present
On one who is lonely
cut off from the world
The innumerable stars
lit inside the dark
waiting to emerge out
through the veil of cloudy feelings
The unexpressed run deep
The words from blowing winds
unable to extricate deep feelings
