Melancholia

        

The storm in my brain,

Thunder in my whole,

Blazing fire in my heart,

Disturb the peace of my soul.

Life is a hell of suffering,

Torment and misfortune;

Misery rains upon me,

I can’t sing a happy tune.

Dreams shattered beyond repair,

Hopes vanished into thin air;

The more I long,

Troubles prolong,

Emotional depression-

What can I say?-

The deeds of my past life

I reap today.

Sun glow, moon shine

Birds chirps, leaves dance

I look for a ray of hope,

But there is no second chance.

Sorrows add fuel to fire of pain

I long to forget samsara

Take refuge in sleep of death

And dream of nirvana.
