Melancholia

A poem from 1999 with a different feel, not the love-songs I have been posting but...see for yourself.





Melancholia - 19 Dec 99

And in the sorrow
Of my night retreat
Gentle tears
Cascade

Sadness
Lifting veils
Then letting them fall
Unwatched
Bitter dreams, clouded thoughts
No morning's mourning tear.

Darkness rests reclining dampness
Stretched across my waking dreams
Torn from night moves
Scattered across the raging dawn
Burned, firelight thoughts
Smoking smouldering
Crumbling to ash

In the sorrow and sadness
In the darkness drawn
A curtain riven
No dreams to explain
The touch of darkness
From which the tears
And thoughts of long dark days
And nights

And nights
Sorrowful
Damp pillow
Cascading tears





A totally different theme here - tell me what you think [if you want].

Till next time then...
