Undercurrent of Melancholy

Undercurrent of Melancholy


                               beneath yawning ribs time-eaten bay sinks
                                      down the sea-poose of the blues
                                             carrying somber hues
                                   mind reverberates with the fall of ice
                                    sullies tramp down a stuffed soul
                                              ushering in smolder
                                 against it come the menacing thunders
                                   through the world not left at peace 
                                           and spin old memories

Most beautiful, Rajat, good for a win... I see you didn't read my soup mail.. Sonny died last year on August 29.. his heart couldn't take any more.. after 6 way bypass, then later a pacemaker defibrillator, then Prostate Cancer , then again a second pacemaker defibrillator , congestive heart failure. He is dearly missed. Hugs dear friend

I am very saddened to hear this, Eve. He will be dearly missed. You are much creative and that's most important now. Hugs.-Rajat
