Notes About The Poem

'Melancholy is the happiness of being sad' - Victor Hugo'

Undercurrent of Melancholy

UNDERCURRENT OF MELANCHOLY

     Flow of melancholy in opulence
      pricking piercing pleasant pain
       oozing from chasm of heart.
      
      Somber solemn sacred soul stops to sense.
      Deep depression despondence
      seeks tolerance in vain.

       Bubbling blood flooded though lamentation.
       Undercurrent stream of dream
       craving aspiring hope.
