Songs of Melancholy

a melancholic poem 
is like aphrodite\'s tears,
slowly falling in love 
with the curves of her face,
they never stop or leave,

a melancholic poem
is like seeking and
collecting these 
tears of pearls and 
wearing them around your neck.

a melancholic poem 
feels like accidentally
ripping the necklace after
getting attached to it\'s melody 
as it touches your neck, not it you.

a melancholic poem
is as dreamy as the silk
touch of the bath of pearls 
you made with the tears of your own,
it too fell in love with the poem.
