Melancholy

"It's somberness and melancholy
and pensiveness and gloom
and bleakness and desolation.
It has spread all through the life.

I know life is full of
fluctuations and vicissitudes,
permutations and perturbations.
But for now, here I lie in deep rancour and sulkiness.

I wish I were rejoicing in jubilance and elation.
Though my career needs
a passable degree of my attention,
here I am dwelling in my dungeon,
contemptible and deplorable
to the people of the world,
losing the winsomeness and allure,
lying soo defunct and lifeless.

Career is not all. There's lot more.
Oh god! Give me the fibre and the sinew,
the vigor and the brunt,
to hit hard the duskiness off my life!!"
