Melancholy Quotes Quotes

Though the overcoming process during its complete presence
That allows me to fulfil my heart with greater happiness.”

“The loud sounds of my mind
blind me every night.
I close my eyes to sleep on time
but the visions come alive.
They remind me of the scars and
the pain in my past life.
I try to move on but this
haunts me in the present time.
All I want is to sleep,
to snore it away, and dream.
But, the mind is a pool of chaos
in which I drown with every swim.
I want to feel better but it gets under my skin
and reminds me of a ship of hope that is about to sink.”
― Shillpi S Banerrji

“When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me.”

― Nithin Purple

“Walking with stones in my pocket
to a place where all the poets go to die.

I wish love hit me like the drops of rain, but somehow i have only found things that cause a never-ending pain.”
― Shillpi S Banerrji

“Give me a rose,
make the love red.
Leave me when i need you the most
and let the petals die on the bed.”

but you broke it all in the end.
Now you swim like a regret
in the pool inside my head.”

“Don't fool April; she always finds an escape.
Drained empty, but she still loves herself.
Helping someone who is not too strong
and taking the right turn in a place that appears to be wrong.
Head spins faster than the days; she never forgets herself.
Whistling a lullaby in the air,
she says goodbye before dropping dead.
The floor becomes a crimson pool,
wearing shades of cool
and telling the world; she's April, who you cannot fool.”
― Shillpi S Banerrji

“Standing there where you left me,
While you're out for the chase and
I wish somehow you did care.
Nights grow into the morning
and I am still awake,
wishing you were here to hold me
and love me in the same way.”
― Shillpi S Banerrji

“I was feeling low, i felt like i said too many 'I love you's and received less of what i gave. I craved love because i am a being of love. I remember my parents telling me that I have a heart of gold and everyone around me telling me that i deserved the best love. But, somehow, over the years, i gave too much and felt like everyone took my heart only to break it and walk away. I moved on, but sometimes i feel my heart is done with these games. I meet someone, and that heart fixes itself, but soon it all goes down, and i question myself; am i good enough or simply walking towards hell? I have tried to change my means and ways. I have deleted all sources and have been in the hermit mode, trying to knock some sense and tell myself it will all get better. But, this body, this mind, this soul is tired of the mess. I have understood everyone and given the space, but i just want someone to love me for once in my way. To just hold me and tell me things will be better again. To love me for who i am and grow with me always. I want a soul that connects with mine and a universe where my love story sees every sunrise and midnight.”
― Shillpi S Banerrji

“There's a cat on the windowsill,
with a rat in its stomach,
that had eaten the cheese,
that my lover left behind,
the day she went away.

- Saudade”
― C. Sean McGee

“Friends with Darkness (The Sonnet)

Most dread the very notion of dark,
Darkness strikes horror in their heart.
Yet darkness gives me a sense of calm,
I feel quite at home when in dark.
Darkness makes me alive,
Darkness gives me flight.
Darkness makes me aware,
Of the tiniest glint of light.
Darkness electrifies my dampened veins,
It pours back my nerves with vigor.
Just when everything seems to fall apart,
The mind awakens with unforeseen power.
So, never try to keep darkness at bay.
Once befriended darkness takes you a long way.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Questa è una storia di gente perduta. Non morta o scomparsa, di gente persa. A volte perdere una persona è facile come perdere un bottone. È prezioso, dai per scontato che sia sempre lì, poi ti impigli in qualcosa, o un filo si allenta o si logora, e – senza manco accorgertene, così da un momento all’altro – il bottone non c’è più. Capita così, a volte, anche con le persone. Ti volti e non ci sono più.”
― Letizia Loi, Istanzias - Racconti attorno al fuoco
