Inflection

A market-square with its drizzly blanket,

A toast to a melancholic Tagore tune

 A desire for an instrument at fingertips

And a heart crying out loud and mute;

Begs for an answer in a cold tryst with silence.

 

When dawn meets and parts from morning

You know, that brief moment of madness

In your eyes, that succumbed to sanity :

That, my friend, is my melancholy.
