A Melancholy Song Poem by M. Asim Nehal

A Melancholy Song

Rating: 5.0


For some days I have been hearing them
Though, I do not understand the meaning
It goes straight to my heart, through the ears
The tone, the voice and the chord all melancholy

My heart understands the pain of the voice
While my mind listens to the tunes
The trees and the mountain keep still
While the river makes the noise

Could it be the loss of love or the life?
The pain I hear is the cry of a fear
And the wounds have cracked by tears
Such a song does settle inside

The birds are listening and the wind is rustling
Silent is the sky, dry leaves gets settled
The voice goes high as the song is nearing the end
With low pitch the melancholy song shy

No wonder Shelley sang....... our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought! Sad tunes always leave an impact on us! Asim, you have beautifully caught the spirit of melancholy!
