Melancholy Shall Flee...
When the mind journeys,
Through sylvan gardens and deep dark trenches;
Its my soul that sobs,
In silent, cold and unseen wrenches.
In the cloak of a simple smile,
Fate devices conspiracies vile.
It has been revelry for matter,
Joy for the mind is far,
Far away, many a mile.
Tongue tied is my grief,
From green to yellow to crimson;
Fading colours, of life as a leaf.
My mind travels through the doldrums,
Thirsting for the light of glee;
But I shall pick up the scattered crumps,
Hopeful of the sylvan gardens,
I shall ask Melancholy to flee!!

Definitely a great one Allen.You have outperformed yourself again.This poem reminds me of Robert Frost's [i]The Road Not Taken[/i].Pardon my lack of sensibilities for saying this-one still fails to understand why you are sad in the first place.Maybe you could have elaborated on that...

one of the best pieces of poetry iv read in a very long time...amazing use of language.the poem leaves a sense of pathos and hope at the same time inside you..awesome job! keep up the good work..
after all these lies above , dear allen, your poem "APPEARS" to be thought raising and a real treat to mind in solitude, but to an unpoetic person as me, it seems to be an unsolved piece of a puzzle, an art awaiting perfection. It needs more nourishment and leisure time without nature calls! :D ..
