Melancholic Feelings Poem by ritty patnaik

life has given me,
many pleasures,
most things,
i asked for,
and many,
i never wanted for myself.

a melancholic feeling,
engulfs, when lonely
in spite of every thing.

it is a question
i ask myself,
the answer within me!
why, in the deep recess
of my heart,
a constant, yearning,
a smouldering feeling of
collosal loss!
creates in my mind
a un avoidable void,
which becomes,
a part and parcel
of my existence.

for those i loved,
and lost,
a heart wrenching sigh,
tells me for the final time,
that it is all over.

what is life without your own,
what is home without you all.

i understand,
i realise and cry.
it is nothing, but an illusion,
of transition of soul,
laminating the truth of life.
