Oh To Feel Melancholy

To feel melancholy..
To hear the rain on my roof
On this soft mellow day
The grey sky is the color of a horse hoof
Oh the colorless grey

To feel melancholy..
To unwrap the border separating
The sour yet mouthwatering
Orb of blue that stains your teeth
The taste that prohibits death

To feel melancholy..
Submerging yourself in a pond
Filled to the brim with spheres
That appear to be clear yet have
A layer of shifting light, colorful

To feel melancholy..
Getting closer to the sidewalk
Looking up the entire time
Nose perked up inhaling
The droplets of tears
Created by ridged, fluffy, clouds
