Sweet melancholy

A. cepa posted under Tale-a-thlon S4: Poetry on 2024-08-06



Soft, sweet, slow,
The melancholy
Ebbs and flows like a river.
Torrents of bittersweet emotions,
Of life's cherished memories,
And regrets repressed,
Flood the mind.
Yearnings and hopes, pure
As raindrops, well up like tears,
Summoned, like heart's passions, by naught but
An affectionate caress,
Like an evening breeze,
Soft, sweet, slow.
