Welcomed by Dad with a warm smile at the station
Animated conversations till I reach my homeward destination
Glancing through the grilles, hazel brown eyes on a lovely face
Meeting her eyes, I run into cozy motherly embrace
Tears fill my eyes when I recollect those golden moments
Not an inch of thought in motion as my heart goes fragments
Away from caring company in an alien city
To fulfill my vague ambitions with great felicity
A sudden feeling of attachment in dull and dreary state of mind
Sometimes a sense of detachment cohabits with million thoughts to grind
Some unanswered harrowing questions to bother
A feeling of ennui with a haunting smother
The next moment a gushing elation
Caused by a casual amusement and friendly affiliation
Life to define
With musical refine
A soft melody or an orchestrated symphony
Or musings of experiences with a backdrop of cacophony
This deep sense of melancholia making me sad and giddy
All I want to say that I miss you Mummy and Daddy
HOMEWARD MELANCHOLIA
