Melancholia

MELANCHOLIA

     Had he left putting me
     in reverie of melancholia?
   Rather I left him
    and since then peace had left me forever
   while I am whirling in rue of turbulent tornedo.

    Wearing charcoal mask appearing dusty dusk.
      Pricking pain of buried passion piercing my mind.
      In morose fading twilight 
         birds are chirruping in glissando.

       I am sinking in fathomless abyss in grief of ocean,
        Where pearl of dolor is taking shape
         from tears of amour
        oozing from chasm of broken heart
         cascading opulent on inflow of ambedo.

       I am drowning down on cosmic illusion
        in this lugubrious night.
        I am floating to descry: 
          My love once lively lovely like Full Moon
         now lamenting in lean crescendo.

Congratulations, Anisha. Your poem is profoundly deep - although it's about melancholia - it's an exceptional poem. Love, Mala
