Analysis of The Latent Melancholy



Eyes are wringing.
Tears are shedding.
Only witness is his stick
which is wobbling.

She has left him,
kept him alone.
Since then every hour
is his milestone.

Only few days kiths and kins
came to console him.
After that, he has been burdened
under his fate, which is grim.

Now she is survived by
her son, daughter in law, grandson
and her hapless husband
who was her forty years companion?

Now he is waiting  
for the call.
He knows he will meet again
and this time, her company will be eternal.
