Melody Of Pain Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Melody Of Pain

Rating: 5.0


Wind blowing half heartedly
in the woods of skinny trees
Socrates and Descartes
occupying my illogical mind

Why I feel this unknown pain all the time?
when everything seems so perfect
why this unheard sonata of unjust pain
keeps on buzzing in my deaf mind
I am not Ludwig van Beethoven
I’ve never heard Mozart or Chopin
then why and how -
my naïve mind keeps on orchestrating
the poignant opuses of myriad pain
and the soulful melodies of my all-time beloved
death

This life is a symphony of innate heartaches
I being ignorant and emotionally troubled
have fallen in love with this melody of life
called pain

this is universal sorrow that fills every heart at some point or the other...can we call ourselves human but for this pain we experience! the pain that invests this heart with human(e) qualities...

I understand yor poem.I've written quite a few about death. Perhaps you should get someone to prescribe Seroxat.

hmmmmmmmmm you and your new found love 'death' Go and embrace it go--- the whole world is running away from it and you want to embrace it. Go--- leave us all here as destitutes. You have brought out the poignancy well here only only for that you get +++10 and certainly not for your theme which I detest. hey Kamran dont feel bad I said what I felt take care and love anjali +++10

And i agree that our life is made of inner heartaches But we don't have to focus and dwell on this thing Life is beautiful we only have to make it to the fullest each day thanks for this great sharing.. Hugs, Meggie

Kamranbhai, Is the melody of pain unbearable? Something you want to wallow in? It is said that the pain sufferer best understands what he/she is suffering from...and how intensely. Mozart (my favorite) , Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Paderwerski, Brahms, Handel, Tchaikovsky...etc. are melody masters...of MUSIC. And now...we have...the master of the melody of...PAIN....Kamran Haider.... Now, Kamranbhai, who would you like to share this melody with? ? ? I love this melody, but..oh, so, slowly, so that I can enjoy the pain until it becomes pleasurable... Cheers. Subroto.
