AN ODE TO MELANCHOLY

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

what is anguish

a taste of joy

a bit too burned

for the appetite of

life

physical starvation

gradually kills the body

emotional starvation

merely bruises the soul

and makes bitter enemies

of smiles

and tears

as distanced eyes gape at the

miles and years

carried away on the backs of

terrified dreams

haunted hopes

and unharnessed fears

we all are eyes peaking through

a patch work of unique experiences....................
