Melancholy love

Melancholy love

A Poem by Pankaj Lohia

 

 

 

With the sun, rises a new hope each day

One word from her, is all I desire

Remembering all the places

Where we had once been

All the words, once whispered

Lost in her reverie, in her dreams

With the fading sun, lost is another day

Waiting in vain, nothing left to say

But faith never ceases, as time passes away

When my eyes shut, I see her

They open fruitlessly, only to miss her

Dreams become the new reality

Mind loses its normality

Is this how it was meant to be?

Not as we thought initially

In despair but the mind refuses to quit

The one that I called my life

Has she forsaken me?

It would remain unanswered for eternity

Being swallowed by the emptiness

inside Learnt to live, having lost it all

The new way of life, hollowed and alone...

"Dreams become the new reality

Mind loses its normality

Is this how it was meant to be?

Not as we thought initially

In despair but the mind refuses to quit

The one that I called my life

Has she forsaken me? "

Emotive , splendid...:)

My pleasure. Any time...:)
Emotional. Forces a person to go back in time. It has pain, desire, wait, hurt and a question. Everything that you want to have in a poem like this is there.

"With the fading sun, lost is another day"
I like the way you have said 'lost' and not past. It is like, the person's attempt to forget, to seek an answer is still unfruitful and he has lost yet another day in trying.

"Is this how it was meant to be?
Not as we thought initially"
We never realize that the plans we are making right now, will they ever come true. We think that everything is forever. We deny to accept the fact that dreams and plans perish.

"The new way of life, hollowed and alone"
I really like the fact that you have put in a lot of effort in each line. Thank you for sharing. Keep writing. Good Luck. :) :)

thank you avreen.
beautifully tragic in it's own way. I really liked the lines about dreams;
Dreams become the new reality
Mind loses its normality
Is this how it was meant to be?
Very well written and easy to fall in love with.
