The word melancholy is a better word than sad, don't you think so? Sad seems to convey the state of mind but melancholia conveys the state of the being when sadness accosts the soul. The word could be used in different contexts - when one sees an airplane flying reminding of departures and people who have left, the association of deeper sadness which chokes the inner self but does not affect the visage. Today, when I behold certain photographs tagged with captions that threaten to stir your core, you experience melancholia.
Melancholy.
Melancholia.
Melancholic.
Smouldering cold of the monsoon.
The bitterness of lost moments.
The tugging of heart strings.
You hear melancholy beckoning with open arms except that you want to embrace her without crushing your heart - Alas! impossible.
Are you melancholic tonight? Who or what is your companion or are you lost within yourself?
