Ode To Melancholy

Rating: 5.0


Forget me not, my melancholy.
Speak to me with thy eyes.

Dear melancholy,
i canst not bear the pain of parting,
keep me close within thy heart,
long as water keeps the patience.

The day of separation is short as life,
if I see not my melancholy.
O, people how can I spend dark nights of sorrow?

Two love birds once smile now caged with sorrowful thoughts.
thou have put my heart on fire,
Now who would care and water my heart.

Dear melancholy, my companion, my sweetheart? My eyes art paining,
no sleep in my eyes since thy separation, no rest in my heart.

Banished from ideal love as Plato banished the poets from his ideal state.
My melancholy, thou sends no news, nor shows your face.

On the day of reconciliation,
i will keep thou aside And for love's sake i will hate you for nothing but for my melancholy.

keep me close within thy heart, long as water keeps the patience...excellent. This ode reminds me of Keats' ode to melancholy! This ode is totally different and unique though it works in a tad identical fashion that Keats wrote. Top score!
